If I had to pick just one album as my all time favorite I’d have to go with The Beatles 1968 self titled double album which is best known as The White Album. Many say they like The White Album but with reservations. I don’t have those reservations. To me part of the album’s charm [...]

The new Billboard 200 chart is out today and former American Idol contestant Chris Daughtry’s band Daughtry went to #1 by selling 269,000 copies of their second album Leave This Town. Are you farking kidding me? Is this what passes for “rock n roll” to the average American in 2009? The closest thing to good [...]

I’ve come across a pretty cool website (ForOrchestra.com) where pop/rock songs are arranged for orchestra. A full orchestra is recorded playing the arrangement and a video is made. It’s all pretty grand. I’ve picked out Radiohead’s “Reckoner” and Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” to showcase here but there are many more songs on the site. Michael [...]

I don’t really like video games. I think they’re a bit of a waste of time for the most part. But the one game that I do play is Rock Band because it’s just a damn good time. You can play with with a big group of people (rather than most video games where it’s [...]

Check out “IDM Kid” … This may appeal to the Aphex Twin fans out there … Speaking of Aphex Twin, here’s the rather insane “Rubber Johnny” video in case you haven’t seen it yet: The music for this video (directed by Chris Cunningham) comes from the underrated Aphex Twin album, Drukqs. You can buy it [...]

The Bad News: Adam Yauch (MCA) has cancer in his throat and is having surgery next week to remove it. The release of the next Beastie Boys album will be delayed and their upcoming shows are canceled. The Good News: It’s apparently not life threatening as the cancer was caught early and has not spread [...]

As a rather large (in fandom, not girth) Radiohead lover myself I think it’s pretty interesting to see what a group of Radiohead fans come up with when they vote on the greatest albums of all time. Maybe I’ll find some albums that I haven’t heard yet that I need to check out? What follows [...]
