So last Thursday Benom wrote about Radiohead’s webcast. Turns out it was only a test. On Friday, at roughly the time everyone was headed for their first drink after work, Thumbs Down began. It featured hours of material that you can now find just about anywhere. So in lieu of a play […]

We all fell in love with Peter Bjorn and John’s last album Writer’s Block and why shouldn’t we? Remember that scene in Back to the Future where Marty is playing “Johnny B Goode” and Marvin Berry is calling his cousin Chuck to let him hear what will eventually be that great new sound he’s […]

I was at this show, as I know many others were, but it was great to go back and watch this video footage now that I’ve actually heard the official studio version of the song about 800 times.

We don’t talk about hip hop very often here at RTP, so our first guest post should be a breath of fresh air at the very least. Below, RTP buddy and local hip hop mogul Mike Loekle reviews Monday night’s Atmosphere show at the Metro in Chicago. On behalf of Mike and the rest of […]

Trust me. It feels good. And everyone else is doing it. Plus, your first time is free so they can really get you hooked.
Previously having nothing officially released, Daytrotter.com recorded a live session of which four Vampire Weekend songs are free for download. Who knows how their songs will sound when the […]

Oh Win Butler… What other forms of trickery do you hide up your Canadian sleeves? First healthcare for the masses and now this! Someone better tell our brethren over at A-S about this, the magic. Ok, maybe it’s more of a interactive video than magic but wasn’t this supposed […]

I have, so I listened to this “Weekend America” interview with the band and found out that not only did they actually record the sound using a real wildcat, but apparently the song is also a popular tune […]

Woe is Jill Sobule. Poor gal whines a bit in her latest tune, picking on record companies, out-of-style execs, plus her own indecisiveness about how to release her new music, and what angles she should be taking that will (we assume) get her back on another big soundtrack.
All the while she doesn’t revel in the […]

I met this band’s drummer, Joe, a few weeks back when he was in Chicago, and not only did he blow my mind by making my night magically much more enjoyable in exchange for trying to teach (unsuccessfully) his dog Tupak to shake, but he also turned me on to a new band that has […]

somebody recently was mentioning the lack of a proper preview of the new Band of Horses album… and here is a nice little track from Cease To Begin for your rocking pleasure. It’s got a nice little rocksplosion in it too. They do that dramatic shit real well.
