So we read on Metal Insider, who read on Drowned In Sound, who read on nme.com, that Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello used to be a stripper. Seriously. Says Morello:When I graduated from Harvard and moved to Hollywood, I was unemployable. I was literally starving, so I had to work menial labour and, at [...]

Keep in mind we still have 3 hours until the headlining band comes out, but we all know what's gonna go on, and yet we don't.Like I said a few days ago. I had really wanted to see Porcupine Tree. Unfor...

It started off strong with Jedi Minds Tricks, Pharoah Monche (performed with a live band, very exciting, one of the highlights of the day) & erick and parrish still making dollars. Kind of a lull in the middle with mos def doing more"singing" than rapping, I missed the roots (place was getting packed by 4pm, seemed like 60,000 people on the island). Cypress Hill still touring off the strength ...

Summer is a time for reunions with friends, family and — estranged band members? Maybe that last one doesn’t apply to you, but it seems relevant in a time when bands are reliving their glory days left and right — The Police, Rage Against the Machine and Smashing Pumpkins have all recently retrieved their instruments from dusty closets and hit stages across the country. In a time of stagnatio

This week I really wish I lived in Denver. The place is going off as it hosts the Democratic National Convention. The Barack-a-thon is attracting everyone from Rage Against the Machine to the Cold War Kids. It's like a mini-Lollapalooza spread out over four days in the mile-high city. Last night the Sheryl Crow, Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds, Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles kicked things off at t...
