Willie Nelson celebrated his 75th b-day on 4/29.
In honor of the guy who battled the IRS (and lost) and then went on to recoup his millions while creating his own bio-fuel, here’s a good’un featuring his buddy Snoop in Amsterdam.

What a huge surprise — this sneak peek at a live performance by Radiohead, which will air in its entirety on May 3 (VH1’s Live From [Nigel’s] the Basement), sounds so effing awesome that I just started crying and wet my pants at the same time. That’s a lot of liquid folks.

Yes, it’s true. I will admit that I still don’t fully get Grizzly Bear. True, I have not listened to their records enough, but that covers record kinda sent me farther down the wrong path. Also, an EP? I just can’t wrap my head around their lo-fi, form-free business. However, any […]

With the understanding that I have a penchant for burning myself out of fabulous records by listening to them over and over, things are good right now, with about seven great records spinning on my iphone.

FINAL LOLLAPALOOZA LINEUP
Is this even news any longer?
While there is no way I will attend this festival of human kindness, I do like reading through the list of bands and noting which I would like to see. Alas, they will likely be drowned out by a larger stage sound system or booked […]

Pitchfork revealed dates and locations of the second leg of Radiohead’s North American tour this morning, and something jumped out at me that made me a bit excited, and more than a bit apprehensive about when to purchase Radiohead tickets, and to what shows.
It also made me a bit more hopeful than I was since […]

I’ve wanted to post this video for a while now and keep forgetting. It’s a near perfect rock video, because it combines such beautiful imagery together–gii-tar, hott roller babes, super bouncy balls and dirty pillow fights.
Why can’t some industrious network come up with a show that involves all of these things? I’m sure […]
