Pullin’ ‘Tubes: Byrd Is The Word
Scotty loved the idea of digging into the archives yesterday so much so that we’ve decreed it Classic Rock week around here. Sorry to spring it on you without any big fanfare or ticker tape parade, but just sit back and enjoy the gems we throw at ya over the next few days. Today I […]
Pullin’ ‘Tubes: Feat Don’t Fail Me Now
Between all the jam and the indie we cover around here it’s quick to forget about all the classic rock bands that got us to this point. Well that’s going to change, I’m instituting a new policy around here that we’re going to do some digging into the YouTube archives to bring you some classic […]
Was Courtney’s Heart Shaped Box Stolen?
Maybe I’m a little skeptical about the validity of the story because it comes from something called News Of The World – which has a supermarket tabloid ring to it, and judging by their website I think that assessment is on par – but the U.K. site is reporting that the ashes of Kurt Cobain […]
Briefly: Bob Dylan To Play Brooklyn
Bob Dylan tour dates usually don’t warrant a post of their own, considering the amount of dates the legendary bard plays every year.

(as well as online). That’s not really the […]
Pullin’ ‘Tubes: Weezer Goes Viral
While we’d probably like to forget we ever wasted what’s most likely added up to days watching stuff like the Numa Numa guy or the Leave Britney Alone dude (we still love leave Kang alone though) – the guys in Weezer seem to have a difference in a opinion on the topic. For their first […]
Tour Dates: Perfect From Now On
As we mentioned earlier this week, the hot trend over the last few years among indie-rock acts has been performing a classic album from their catalog live. Most of these have been one-off performances at the a festival. Well, original indie-rockers Built To Spill are looking to change that trend when they hit the road […]
Bloggy Goodness: Are We There Yet?
Like most of you on the Thursday before a long weekend I’ve already turned my brain off, but luckily there are some more dedicated bloggers out there who haven’t – so let’s check in and see what they’ve got for us…. Cover Lay Down steps into the ring with songs about boxing Brooklyn Vegan shares […]
Briefly: Acoustic Guyville
Last month we gave you the news that ATO Records would be releasing a deluxe 15th anniversary edition of Liz Phair’s seminal album Exile In Guyville this June. Since it’s sort of been the hot trend over the last couple of years Phair will be performing the album in its entirety with three special intimate […]
