Bright Eyes - When the President Talks to God

This morning I was sipping my morning cup of joe and glancing at the news, when I noticed an article about today being the fifth year anniversary of the war in Iraq.

Jeff Buckley Gets Boost From American Idol

I guess American Idol finally did something that is worth mentioning.
The show has apparently exposed a new generation to the wonderful music of Jeff Buckley, who I still say was one of the best artists ever.
So, here’s what happened: A contestant was on the show and performed “Hallelujah” back on March 4, which was originally […]

FYI: The Black Crowes Revisited

The Black Crowes seventh studio album, Warpaint, debuted at # 5 on the Billboard 200 Chart. The band’s first album since 2001’s Lions and has sold around 46,000 copies in it’s first week of sales. Not too shabby for the Brothers Robinson. So, with that let’s revisit a previous FYI on the Crowes.

New Weezer Album Out in June?

Pearl Jam - I Am Mine

This site just doesn’t seem the same without some Pearl Jam, so here we go.
For the last couple of weeks I’ve had “I Am Mine” in a constant rotation, both on my iPod and just in my head.
“I Am Mine” was the first single from the band’s seventh studio, which was 2002’s Riot Act. Vedder wrote […]

The Presidents of the United States of America are back…

The not so serious Seattle band are back with a new album, which is their first album in four years, and will be on the road too.
These Are the Good Times People hits stores today and is the band’s sixth studio album; so if you enjoy the simplistic and goofy music of PUSA then you […]

OK, so let’s get back in the swing of things with a newer artist from the UK.
I was checking out MTV in one of the hotel rooms in […]
