I know I've been bitching about the lack of good music/major releases over 2012. After the most unlikely reunion of all time (Van Halen) kicked of the year...it's really been downhill as far as marquee releases. This fall...all that's about to change. There are so many releases coming out in September that I tried to do a poll for the site but it got too big and the poll wouldn't save. I

The 11 Best Songs By dispatch
Posted on 11:41 by Unknown
There's no better example of East Coast/West Coast divide than with the band Dispatch. Dispatch is an East Coast college staple. You couldn't get a diploma from an Eastern Time Zone college in the late 90s if you hadn't spent one night baking out to Bang Bang or Silent Steeples. But if you went to school on the West Coast...the mere mention of the term "dispatch" made you think the cops

The 11 Best Songs By Bloc Party

Lance Armstrong is getting stripped of his Tour De France titles. It's like Santa stripping off his clothes and it turns out he's a little Jewish boy down the street named Ira Goldstein. It's like getting punched in the stomach and the back at the same time, then are told to run 5 miles in the rain uphill with rabid sharks chasing you. And just for your information, rabid sharks run really

The 11 Best Songs By The Darkness

So Mitt Romney finally picked a running mate. He chose Paul Ryan. Do you know how much I know about Paul Ryan? Almost nothing...except I'm supposed to hate him. That's according the 5,000 Facebook posts I see about him every day. He's anti-abortion, he's anti-poor people, he's anti-gay rights...but he loves Rage Against the Machine. Then Tom Morello came out and wrote a letter bashing

The 11 Best Songs By Conor Oberst
Posted on 00:25 by Unknown
The tale of the new Conor Oberst is a great example of how upside-down the music industry is right now. Maybe the issues are a good thing...or just another of example of its descent into self-destruction. This B-side/alternative track collection came out in May. I just discovered its release this weekend. I discovered it at (of all things) a record store. I saw the vinyl...thinking it

The 11 Best Songs By No Use For A Name
Posted on 00:45 by Unknown
The story of the under appreciated band that persevered may be no less apparent than the story of No Use For A Name. It's not because they spent 25 years pursuing that rock star dream without attaining it...it's tragic because of how close they actually came to achieving it. I worked in radio back in the 90s when the crest of the pop punk movement was just about to cascade all over the

Why is it that this Chick Fil A issue has only made me want a chicken sandwich more than ever?
I'm not sure I even understand the controversy. All the CEO did was say that he believed in the traditional definition of marriage. Hundreds of people say this every day. Granted...who the heck knows what the "traditional" definition of marriage is anyway? Wasn't it that woman are property? That
