NO AGE Review

2008-05-12T16:49:00.001-04:00

As a band, I’m not really sure what to make of No Age. They’re really just a couple of skate punks that make noisy songs, but… there’s gotta be more to it than that. The tracks on their new album Nouns vary from barely contained sound collages to bashing garage stompers, but it’s consistently enjoyable, confounding and above all else: interesting. And let’s face it. Sub Pop releases as of late

What in the HELL?!

2008-05-01T15:32:00.004-04:00

Ok, so, for 500+ years no one (read: babies) have been injured. Great. But, man, i can't stop laughing my ass off when i see them bounce off of the sheet, right before being caught and passed to the back of the crowd. Hopefully i'm not the only one who thinks this is truly hilarious?!

Review: The Breeders

2008-04-07T18:54:00.002-04:00

If a record comes along in 2008 that’s better than Mountain Battles, well . . . then I guess I’ve got a new favorite record of 2008. And I’m not sure that I can take hearing something more wonderfully earth-shattering than this slab of brilliance.Kim Deal is a musical genius, her sister Kelley is her God-given muse, and when they make noise together, you can always trust that the results are

THE SWORD and LOTR!

2008-04-01T18:36:00.001-04:00

Holy Crap, the new Sword album syncs to LOTR!!!!I just heard from my rep at Kemado that if you start the New Sword album "Gods of the Earth" at the scene "The Corsiars Of Umbar" on the Lord Of The Rings:Return Of the King, it syncs with the rest of the movie!!!!
