I'm tired of Apple people claiming that the ipod and itunes are these two apexes of industrial invention. I like the ipod...it's a neat device...but perfection? Far from it. First of all...the scrolling sucks. When you have 500 artists on your ipod, there's nothing more irritating than wanting to listen to Zero 7 or Zwan and needing to spend 5 minutes scrolling through the entire alphabet.

The Good: Free Music Friday (Levi's Pioneer Sessions)
Posted on 14:37 by Unknown
I haven't bought a pair of Levi's in about 15 years. Nothing against the company...just wear a lot of shorts. So this isn't some shameless whoring out to a big corporation. Not that there's anything wrong with some shameless whoring. I'll be more than happy to take cash from any corporation to hock their product. That said...not sure what this series of music session has to do with Levi's

The 11 Best Iron Maiden Songs of the 80s
Posted on 02:23 by Unknown
This weekend I saw Blue Oyster Cult put on a free show at the mall. Yes, at the mall. (watch the clip!) Granted it was half-park/half-outdoor mall. But still...should a band that wrote one of the greatest rock songs of all time (Don't Fear The Reaper) be giving free shows at a shopping complex near the kids' play area? Don't get me wrong, I appreciated it. Took my daughters, who actually

The Unknown: Arcade Fire - Dark Prayer
Posted on 21:19 by Unknown
I'm not sure there was anything more gratifying than reading last week, that not only did the Arcade Fire have the number one album (The Suburbs) on Billboard's Top 200, but they knocked Eminem out of the top spot to do it. I like Eminem. But this ousting is significant. It's symbolic. It's a glowing neon sign. It goes to show that people want more than what the big labels are shoveling down

The 11 Best Songs By The Band Brad

AC/DC might be geniuses. Their albums sales continue to remain steady while everyone else's have been slipping. The first thought is the reason for that is because they don't sell their music via itunes, etc. They would be wrong. Not selling your music on itunes does not prevent internet downloading. That's not how people trade music. They trade via peer-to-peer networking. But AC/DC has

11 More Best Albums of 2010 (so far)
Posted on 15:13 by Unknown
Last week I made my best albums of 2010 list halfway list. I had a lot of albums I had been listening to, and was unimpressed by most of them. But since then...I took some good recommends from you readers and did some exlporing on my own and found some great albums I had neglected to pick up and some albums I had no idea had even been released. This list does not replace the previous list...

The 11 Best Songs By Jay Bennett + FREE NEW ALBUM!!
Posted on 11:57 by Unknown
I was very excited to hear that there was a practically completed Jay Bennett album left behind by Jay. Not that that's good news when I'd much rather have Jay still around turning out some extremely heartfelt tunes. As much as Jeff Tweedy was the soul of Wilco, Bennett was the heart. Usually when a winning combo like this break apart...the amount of good material dwindles. That's not true

The 11 Best Songs By Arcade Fire
Posted on 22:38 by Unknown
Less is more. It's my creedo. On my computer monitor I have it printed on a post-it. With everything I write I try to say as much as I can in as little words as possible. It's not easy. I feel the same way about music. Albums don't need to be 16 albums long. Just because CDs can hold more...doesn't mean they should. 10-12 songs should still be the bench mark for all albums. Keep it simple. Less
