Silversun Pickups’ “Lazy Eye” is the latest indie track used to help sell cars. It’s featured in the new Chevy Malibu commercial below:

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.

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.

I remember Nine Inch Nails doing something like this about a year ago, and it was really cool. Radiohead is offering four separate instrument tracks, or “stems” (bass, drum, guitar, string, voice), along with their “Nude” single for sale via iTunes for about $6. The challenge? Remix the tracks and upload them for consideration, judgment […]

Two of my favorite electronic bands (and yours?), Daft Punk and Hot Chip, are featured in the new iPhone commercial. Here’s to hoping “Aerodynamic” becomes the new “1234” …

Oh Ben, how silly you are.

Rev Dave and I attended the Throw Me The Statue show at Schuba’s this past Friday night, and for the most part it was pretty enjoyable. Aside from some not-so-funny-at-all and cliche-ridden Chicago-themed jokes that ended up taking up time that could have been used to play one more song or two, the Seattle-based band […]
