For someone who doesn’t watch much TV–and it’s mostly sports or Spongebob when I do-I’ve sure managed to get introduced to a lot of great musicians from watching it. Case in point – Nashville native singer/songwriter Landon Pigg whose sweet, understated “Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop” was featured in a DeBeers commercial. ...

Photographer Michael Lavine’s got a new book called Grunge, featuring an essay by Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore and a whole bunch of excellent photographs of the Seattle music scene from the 80s and 90s, many of which are fresh even to those of us who were around at the time and all of which are ...

So I remember when Hanson got big for the first time. They were, like, eight or whatever. And everybody thought they were kinda a joke, even though they all grudgingly admitted the music was, indeed, good.
Fifteen years later, the guys are actually still together, no longer look like carbon copies of one another, and are ...

December 8th at the Echoplex. Only $20. Can you beat that friggin’ lineup?
I’d say its impossible, but on December 9th at the adjacent Echo, you’ll have Black Francis with Bob Oedenkirk, Tim & Eric, Dave Lovering, Brian Posehn, and more. Again, for only $20… or $35 for both nights.
Now that I have your attention, let ...

I actually really like Chevelle, which had me surprised since they’re kinda pop-punk-rock-produced stuff. But what can I say? They do it well. Pair them with locals Nico Vega, and you’ve got a bitchin’ show.
You can see ‘em all, plus openers After Midnight Project and New Medicine, this Saturday (YES, that would be Halloween night) ...

Just the other day I was contemplating, much like the above image, about bringing on even more authors.
Unlike the beautiful image above I wasn’t enjoying the serene beauty of our lakes, I was being tossed out of a car at 50mph for not paying a debt in a ...

A few weeks ago a friend tipped me off to the Get Busy Committee and he usually never leads me astray so I checked it out. First of all it sounds really good, like, there hasn’t been a Hip Hop record I’ve enjoyed this much in a while good. Secondly, they have a great sense ...

Just so you guys know, I will be closing the Phish contest early next week–probably Monday–and contacting winners. Your stories in the comments have broken my heart and / or left me afraid for my safety, so I have appealed to the promo gods for more tickets. We shall see. ...

The esteemed Mr. Jello will be bringing his roving band of merry men to the El Rey this Sunday for what’s sure to be a lighthearted and flippant, politically apathetic hoedown. With his band entitled the Guantanamo School of Medicine and supported by MIA (not M.I.A.) and Triclops, Biafra is a don’t-miss if you want ...

It was mostly the stylus, but the cartridge was as ancient as the turntable, bought used and third in a line that began long ago with a Dual 1212, so I held them both accountable for the excruciating noise that came from the speakers. It was time for a quest. Where was a vinyl-owner to ...

Last night, there I was minding my own business when suddenly I was accosted by Bob Dylan and Christmas songs.
WHAT?!
Why?
Bob Collins has the scoop and a few sample songs with Ho ho ho! It’s… Bob Dylan?

Growing up in South East Asia in the 1990’s, boybands were de rigueur du jour. There ...

The music scene in Pakistan over the span of the last couple of years has really evolved. Not like there weren’t any bands performing or making original music. There was very amazing talent playing small shows in Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad. But that was it, small shows. Limited audiences. Not much mainstream exposure. The only ...
