So, here are my top ten guilty pleasures. […]

FYI: The Cranberries

We always need some sort of Cranberries to go with Turkey Day next week.

The Cranberries are all from outside Limerick, Ireland.
The band formed in 1990, after Noel Hogan (guitar), Mike Hogan (bass) and Fergal Lawlor met singer Dolores O’Riordon through mutual friends.
The boys original name for the band was Cranberry Saw Us.
“Linger” was the first […]

Bright Eyes @ The Grand Opera House

This past Monday, November 12, I checked out Bright Eyes at the Grand Opera House in Wilmington, DE.
It was a pretty awesome show. The Grand Opera House is just a splendid venue. I would love to catch another show there in the future.
The main man in the band, Conor Oberst, kept reminding the crowd that […]

Veruca Salt - Volcano Girls

What a kick ass song!
“Volcano Girls” was on Veruca Salt’s 1997 album Eight Arms to Hold You and would also be used as the opening track for the 1999 flick Jawbreaker.
So, why does this song kick so much ass?
How about awesome vocals by Nina Gordon, some killer guitar work by Louise Post, a reference to […]

Alice in Chains - Jar of Flies

AIC released this essential EP back on January 25, 1994.
A lot of people mention 1992’s Dirt as the band’s most definitive album; but Jar of Flies showed us how talented and wonderful AIC were. All seven tracks are so perfectly written and performed, that it left us screaming for more.
That’s why it was no shocker that Jar of […]

In Rainbows U.S Release Date and Label Announced

I just read on NME, that the release date for Radiohead’s In Rainbows will be on New Year’s Day here in the States. Last week it was announced that the album’s physical release date would be on December 31, which I assume now meant that was just the international date.
I guess some of us will […]

Kurt Cobain Film Gets The Music of Nirvana

This makes sense, right?
I mean how can you have a film about a musician and not have their music in the film?
Anyways, Universal Studios has purchased the rights to the Charles Cross biography “Heavier Than Heaven” (which is a really good read) and the rights to Nirvana’s music. Of course Courtney Love is involved in […]
