Dj FrequenciesThe Brit, and self-proclaimed disco creator (ppsshh), Calvin Harris has taken a stab at the yet to be released “The Reeling” from Passion Pit’s debut LP Manners, due out 5/19 here in the States. Calvin claims he added some “banging” danceability to the track…sounds to me like he’s added some disco-slap bass, some extra highs, […]
MARILYN MANSON “The High End of Low” (release: May 26 2009) tracklisting is out. We’re From America brought me back…Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon is unimpressive. The Twiggy and Marilyn reunion should blow us away…so they’ve got some ground to cover and some asses to kick and better come correct. 1.) Devour 2.) Pretty as a Swastika 3.) Leave a Scar 4.) Four […]
The Kills were forced to cut a show early Wednesday night in Boulder, CO. The band is currently on tour supporting their most recent album (and one of my tops for 08, Midnight Boom). Lead singer Allison Mosshart (and of newly formed The Dead Weather) was taken to the hospital for observation. She’s ok and […]

Few indy EPs, or complete albums for that matter, make an impression on me as Surf City’s self titled EP has. It was released late last year but I only discovered it a few weeks ago. The opening track “Headin’ Inside” begins with classic, early 60’s, southern Cal guitar pickin (though the band calls the other […]
Two of my fav rock icons, Jack White (The White Stripes, Raconteurs) and Alison Mosshart (the Kills), have formed a new group, The Dead Weather. If Jack on drums and vocals and Alison on vocals wasn’t enough…they also have Queens of the Stone Age’s Dean Fertita on guitar, and the Raconteurs’ Jack Lawrence on bass. […]
Lovin the new track from Eels, “Fresh Blood” from Hombre Lobo out early June. The band’s first album in four years should turn out to be a real teeth sharpener…the albums title literally translates to “werewolf.” Check out the new track @ myspace.com/eels
The ever popular apple-owned music download service iTunes is changing it’s pricing structure in the coming month. Back in January they announced they would introduce a new pricing structure and would be offering tracks at the usual 99 cents, but would also be introducing tracks for $1.29 and 69 cents. Yes, in addition to raising prices they will […]
A new Marilyn Manson track “We’re From America” from the upcoming album The High End of Low (Due Out: 5/26/09) has surfaced and it’s yours for free; well as long as you care to share your email address and verify you’re at least 13 years of age. Not sure who out there decided 13 is the age you can […]
Some more free tracks from SXSW 2009 titled Tomorrow’s Stars From Sxsw. Quite pretentious, though probably true…if your looking for mainstream radio-play crap. Sorry but, nothing stood out for me in this sampler and to me, its not worth the price. There may be a track or two that reminds you of your old girlfriend…if you’re […]
