Watch: B-roll footage of No Reservations featuring music from Josh Homme

Monday, August 8th, 2011

The newest episode of No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain piqued my interest primarily because Josh Homme, frontman of Queens of the Stone Age/Them Crooked Vultures, was the special guest on the episode. And besides seeing Bourdain and Homme drink, eat and fuck around in the Northern California desert for an hour, Homme also recorded some music for the episode.
While I'm not sure if that soundtrack will ever see the light of day, up top you can check out b-roll of the episode that features… Read More

Here are your 2011 Grammy winners

Sunday, February 13th, 2011

What a big night for rock music at the Grammys. While the majority of the ceremony was on par with getting kicked in the scrotum by a mule (follow my Twitter to check out my commentary,) some highlights included a performance from Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger and Arcade Fire and wins for Black Keys, Iron Maiden, Neil Young, and Arcade Fire for Album of the Year. All the winners are listed down below along with videos of… Read More

Grammy nominations revealed

Wednesday, December 1st, 2010

Well here we are again. The time when the old, white men of the recording industry decide to bestow their blessings on artists who they feel should get a Grammy award while the rest of us pull out our hair because the real talents didn't get any recognition.
We should first be proud, however, that Arcade Fire are up for Album of the Year with The Suburbs and Florence + The Machine and Mumford & Sons are up for Best New Artist. It's talent that definitely… Read More

Them Crooked Vultures holding benefit concerts for Eagles Of Death Metal bassist

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

Sad news coming from the Eagles of Death Metal. Their bassist, Brian O'Connor, was diagnosed with cancer and underwent surgery today. He'll start chemotherapy in three weeks. Never fun.
But the rock n' roll community is a tight one and some friends of his are coming to his aid. Them Crooked Vultures will hold two benefit concerts, one in London and one in Los Angeles, to raise money for Brian's medical expenses. The show in London will take place at Brixton… 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
