The Stooges were commercial failures. None of their albums charted in the top 100 on billboard. Sales through out their careers were minimal at best. In 40 years, they've never had an album go platinum...or even gold for that matter. They've never had a hit single. They've never been on TMZ (I'm guessing). But their iconic status is legendary. Inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame,

The 11 Best Songs By Har Mar Superstar
Posted on 22:51 by Unknown
I've been looking for a full-time job for the past couple of months. It's brutal out there. I've rewritten my resume about 100 times and contacted every person I've ever known and some that I don't know. I don't advise the latter. I keep telling myself that it's just tough out there and I have to work extra hard to get a good job. I'm up for it. No job's worth getting unless you have to

The 11 Worst Genre Changes By Musicians
Posted on 21:43 by Unknown
The new Snoop Dogg album...ahem, I mean Snoop Lion finds him changing musical genres and attempting to make a reggae album. Snoop is not the first artist who has changed genres. Many have tried...many have failed. By the massive amount of weed Snoop has smoked over the past 20 years...reggae isn't a far stretch from what he's capable of. Others have not been as fortunate with their

The 11 Best Songs By Phoenix
Posted on 09:41 by Unknown
Every once in awhile a band makes an album that's bigger than the themselves. And they spend the rest of their career living up to that apex. They may never come close again...which is not necessarily their fault. The Cure has Disintegration, Guns N Roses has Appetite For Destruction, The Sex Pistols have Never Mind The Bullocks... This isn't to say these bands aren't talented enough and

It was announced this week that there are 6 new Star Wars movies coming, starting in 2015 and being released ever summer after that. My immediate excitement was quickly quelled by the fearful thought of why? Though I was hopeful that a team of Joss Whedon, Steven Spielberg, and JJ Abrams would turn a quality product...it's Disney. And Disney live action movies suck. Outside of the first

The 11 Best Record Store Releases (Triple List)
Posted on 22:12 by Unknown
I picked up so much vinyl this year...I'm not even sure how I'm going to pay rent. And isn't that what good music is about? Living in a van...down by the river. There wasn't a release this year that I went in excited about...but I came out loving almost everything I purchased. I've had the chance to listen to most of my purchases and have heard a lot of other stuff. And the Calexico album

The 11 Best Songs By Kid Cudi
Posted on 16:40 by Unknown
Since us humans don't seem to be appreciating the life we have here on Earth, maybe it's time to start looking elsewhere. This week, scientists announced they have found three new planets that could support life. These planets are hundreds of light years away and it may take us hundreds of years just to develop travel to get us there. But that said, it's an encouraging and invigorating

I don't know if I've ever seen a news story with as much misinformation floating around than the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombing. From how many people were killed, to the real and desired suspects, to linked bombings and even fictional sources. The rumors grew so prevalent that law enforcement started believing in the rumors that were started by a media outlet, who said that they

The 11 Best Flaming Lips Songs (Post-Embryonic)
Posted on 20:25 by Unknown
The last official album to come out from The Flaming Lips was 2009's Embryonic. A rich tapestry of psychedelic melodies that motivate the listener of a powerful cosmic propulsion. In the four years since, they have been anything but sleeping on the job. In that time, they have released 9 EPs. Some of these EPs were distributed normally, some were released in a human skull or in a fetus

If my poll tells me anything, it's that most of you out there still don't know anything about Record Store Day...or you just don't care about records. That's okay. But if you love music...you should know a little something about vinyl. See, vinyl is an exact physical representation of the sound wave. Currently, there isn't any other replay device out there that can match the pure sound

The 11 Best Reunions That Have Never Played Coachella
Posted on 10:59 by Unknown
They crammed all my favorite bands into Saturdays line-up, so I was left with no choice but to watch the Chili Peppers.
One of the best things about Coachella is guessing with iconic band will reunite for that year's show. This list taps into the wet dreams of all the indie kids heading out to the desert every year. For a list of the best bands who are still together that have never

The 11 Best Bands Who Have Never Played Coachella
Posted on 00:35 by Unknown
There's something sadly thrilling about getting to sit in front of my computer and watch Coachells unfold before me without paying hundreds of dollars, enduring crazy temperatures, dust, dirt, and douche bags. Right now I'm flipping back and forth between New Order and Phoenix. I couldn't do that at the festival...I would have to choose...currently, I'm winning. Because at home, I get both.

The 11 Best Songs By Rival Schools
Posted on 11:51 by Unknown
There was a ten year gap between Rival Schools debut album, United By Fate (2001) and their second official release, Pedals (2011). That's a bigger gap than was between Quicksand's debut and Rival Schools. That doesn't mean Rival Schools was silent during that time. In 2003, the band recorded a follow-up to United By Fate...but the common problems that plague every band caused the album to

Looking for a job in today's world is much harder than it was years ago...and frankly, far more time consuming. Big hub career boards like Career Builder and Monster are pretty awful. All they do is point you to outdated job listings where you have to go to the site and fill out ten pages of personal data just to see if you qualify for the job. My friend filled out an online application

March Madness is the ultimate war of attrition. And may be the perfect analogy to the music industry. You have everything: from one-hit wonders to legends, from big city brawlers to country kids, from the unknown to the everybody knows. There's no guarantees in the tournament, the big name powerhouse can lose to the upstart podunk school making their big dance debut (Florida Gulf Coast vs.

The 11 Best Songs By Rilo Kiley
Posted on 19:10 by Unknown
The news of a new Rilo Kiley album created a stir of excitement. When Rilo Kiley broke up five years ago...it was done right as the band was hitting their stride. There is something to be said about going out on top...though it sucks for the fans. But hearing that a potential reunion was in the works everyone was on their toes, especially after the multiple solo albums. Hearing it was just

The 11 Best Songs By The Cold War Kids
Posted on 01:02 by Unknown
I had a free credit to Best Buy that was expiring. I needed to get something. It was only $15. Not enough for a big purchase...but I could definitely pick up a CD I didn't have. Which is rare to hear that there's a CD out there that I don't have. I've been wanting the new expanded edition of Fleetwood Mac's Rumors...so I felt that would be a good choice. I went to the store and begin
