Here in the pedestrian ‘burbs, my wife tends to freak out any time I want to stretch the speakers (The Black Keys are a speaker stretching fave lately), but I can always chill her out and get the kiddies bopping around with some early Robert Palmer.
Yes, that’s right, the guy most remember for Addicted to […]

I’m excited for the 9/11 release of Pinback’s latest offering, Autumn of the Seraphs, but it sure would be nice to be able to review the record in its entirety prior to the actual release date (hint hint).
In the meantime, you can stream “From Nothing to Nowhere” here to get a taste of what the […]

Damn, this buzz band 1990s (no “The” no apostrophe, mind you) sounds pretty good. Their Gorrilaz-esque video aint so bad either. Check it out:
BIDEO!

Two weeks after the fact, I have decided to post a l’il review of my most hotly anticipated Pitchfork performance:

Now, in all fairness, this was billed as “Stephen Malkmus” without any mention of The Jicks, but I just assumed he’d bring along the back up band for a show in front of 15000+ people. Even […]

Saturday’s post-5pm lineup is definitely worth checking out. Rev Dave and I, and perhaps the good Doctor as well, will be kicking tomorrow off with a Jameson rocks right around 3pm, then heading out in time to catch Maritime at 5:30, followed by Man Man and The Thermals at 7:45 and 9:00 respectively. Full schedule […]

With the exception of Bono, maybe…

Just because Coldplay somehow managed to regress from the spotlight prior to the manifestation of RTP doesn’t mean their leader is immune to the all-powerful douche alert.

Seriously, Chris. What? Can you explain yourself? Cause I just don’t get you. And why can’t I quit you? I’m sure it has […]

It’s no secret that RTP are huge fans of St. Vincent. We’ve been informally reviewing (praising) Marry Me for the past couple months, so no need for a formal critique here. I say we review another review instead.

For once I agree with Pitchfork, and my review of their review of St. Vincent’s Marry Me is […]

If you missed it, you need to go here and watch the video of Man Man working on their next album. I am so damn excited to hear this album that I just might squeal. Apparently it will be their “pop” album, and this of course gets me excited. However, one is […]

No this isn’t a blog about movies, but that isn’t a bad idea. All we need is a catchy name… Movie Rental Protocol? This idea is getting worse by the second.
If you’re a fan of movies like many of us are, you are no doubt a fan of Wes Anderson films or at […]

Via Pitchfork, Arcade Fire is probably the last band I would peg as being good at sports, but given the fact that pretty much every member of the band can play every instrument ever invented (and some that don’t even exist yet), I guess it’s not that surprising. Just goes to show, never underestimate the […]
