The Discovery Box Set (Pink Floyd’s entire studio album catalog remastered) and The Dark Side of the [...]

For some reason I find this kind of crap interesting. It’s curious to see The Beatles & Michael Jackson in there with absolutely terrible crap like Lady Antebellum and Glee Cast. Check it out: 1. Taylor Swift – 4,470,000 albums sold. 2. Eminem – 4,317,000 3. Lady Antebellum – 3,848,000 4. Justin Bieber – 3,728,000 [...]

I think it’s interesting to see which classic bands/artists continue to reach new listeners (the great majority of Last.FM users weren’t even alive in the 1960s) so in that vein I’m creating this list of the 10 most popular bands/artists of the 1960s on the Last.FM website. Two notes: (1) I’m only considering bands/artists that [...]

The new Beastie Boys album (Hot Sauce Committee Part 2) is now available to be heard (for free) on the Beastie Boys soundcloud.com page. “Make Some Noise” is the lead single (and the only song from the album I’ve heard so far) and to my ears it sounds very much in the style of late [...]
