Listen: Soundgarden’s Seattle show!

Monday, April 19th, 2010

So the big news this weekend came from either Coachella or Record Store Day but a band we all know and love made a triumphant return this past weekend as well.
A reunited Soundgarden played their first Seattle show in 13 years and, according to reviews, it was one to remember. Chris Cornell and the crew were in top form under the moniker Nudedragons (re-arrange the letters and it spells… Read More

Watch: The Dead Weather at Coachella

Monday, April 19th, 2010

The Dead Weather performed at the Coachella festival this weekend. That's all I should write considering their performance speaks for itself.
Jack White brought his dirty, gritty, sexy blues-rock band to the California desert and gave the crowd a special treat. They played quite a few tracks from their upcoming album, Sea Of Cowards, which is out May 11th.
Based on what it sounds like, this band could make it into our Top… Read More

Listen: Weezer – “Brain Stew”

Sunday, April 18th, 2010

Surprisingly, on Record Store Day, some bands actually released CD's instead of vinyl including Cage The Elephant, Tegan & Sara, Nada Surf and Weezer.
In the case of the Weez, the boys decided to release some new versions of their classic tunes "Buddy Holly" and "Why Bother" along with the Raditude tracks "I'm Your Daddy" featuring saxophonist/outdated hairdo owner Kenny G and "I Want You To" with Sara Bareilles.
But the track we're streaming… Read More

Listen: Them Crooked Vultures – “Hwy 1″

Sunday, April 18th, 2010

Not only was Record Store Day a day reserved for indie-rock bands to release exclusive material, but also for hard rocking supergroups.
Them Crooked Vultures made their way to record store shelves but try as I might I couldn't get my hands on a copy of their EP (and I really tried...like I went to five stores and no one had it.)
Luckily, my good friends over at Some… Read More

Listen: The Black Keys – “Howlin’ For You”

Sunday, April 18th, 2010

Oh my goodness! He put the picture on the right this time! He's changin' shit up!
But seriously, folks, it's time for more Record Store Day goodness. This time from the blues-rock duo from Akron, OH known as The Black Keys.
Now if you're not aware because you're musically retarded, Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney are releasing their brand spankin' new album, Brothers, on May 11. You can make your way over to their… Read More

Listen: Soundgarden – “Hunted Down” & “Nothing To Say”

Sunday, April 18th, 2010

My first Record Store Day experience consisted of a few things: traveling to five different stores in two states, watching older folks from NJ fight over the last copy of Bruce Springsteen, chips with salsa and picking up some pretty great records.
The one in particular I made a mad dash for was Soundgarden's Sub Pop EP which features their first single with the label, "Hunted Down", and the b-side "Nothing To Say" which was originally on the Screaming… Read More

Listen: Blur – “Fool’s Day”

Sunday, April 18th, 2010

If you live in the U.K. and participated in Record Store Day, hopefully you picked up an EP that looks like that picture.
That's because that 7" was a limited edition of Blur's first new single in seven years called "Fool's Day" and, of course, it's a great song.
Even though the EP only had 1,000 copies released exclusively in the U.K., the band realized that there are many North American fans that would love to get their hands on the brand new tune.… Read More

Watch: Atoms For Peace – “Love Will Tear Us Apart”

Friday, April 16th, 2010

Seeing Atoms For Peace live was such a huge thrill for me as I'm a massive Radiohead fan. So it's good to see Thom Yorke, Flea and the rest of the guys crushing it every time they play a live show. Ah, if I were only at Coachella… Read More
