Now that I am unemployed, I have all day to thumb around MTV's excellent video archive, which hosts 16,000 videos and should really replace YouTube as the go-to video source for videos but is achingly underutilized. (I was the second view on this vintage video of Faith No More doing the Mosely-era n...

Today, the Oklahoma state legislature announced that "Do You Realize??," the 2002 hit by professional hallucinogen-abusers and occasional rock band Flaming Lips, would be the state's official rock song! This new honor sits perfectly next to their state bird (scissortail flycatcher), the state tree (...

Last night, Brooklyn indie-rockers Grizzly Bear had a little problem with the pipes in their Yellow House... they were leaking all over the place! Their album Veckatimest—which has a release date of May 26—hit the net in a glorious 128kbps rip, which is essentially the equivalent of a My...

The New Zealand town of Christchurch has a bigger problem than the orcs in the Mines of Moria. It's being overrun by mall rats!

The verdict is out: TV On The Radio sucked on Saturday Night Live. The acclaimed critics' darlings, the band whose last Brooklyn show caused The New York Times to boast it was "complete ownership of its sound," the band fresh off a 28-date tour, the band whose sound design is so pristine that it mad...

In honor of—oh, lets just say the 20th anniversary of Pet Semetary—-here are three Ramones memes making the rounds. In the spirit of their three-chords, fast-and-loose, gone-in-two-minutes style, I only picked memes that were made as hastily as this post. In fact some of these memes are ...

Following their low-end-heavy appearance at hilarious benefit concert Live Earth, metal parodists Spinal Tap have promised their billionth reunion... this time, for another album that's guaranteed to clog used bins for as long as record stores remain in existence. I know this is important news for f...

A banner day on the Internet! Heroes of rap bloggers and indie rock bloggers who wish they were rap bloggers Dipset are all over the place! First up, former Purple City council member Hell Rell is accusing The Source of payola, claiming he was told to pay a writer $1,000 for a mixtape review. I gott...
