Dakota Fanning featuring Kristen Stewart – New Music – More Music Videos
Dakota Fanning performs “Cherry Bomb” as Cherie Currie in The Runaways biopic along with Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett on guitar. Both Stewart’s and Fanning’s voices are used on the film’s soundtrack, and, I’ve got to say, they don’t sound half bad. With [...]

VIDEO: Foals “Spanish Sahara”
March 5th, 2010 · No Comments
From the makers of my favorite album of 2008 comes “Spanish Sahara”, the first taste of Foals‘ sophomore record, Total Life Forever, due out May 10 via Sub Pop. “Spanish Sahara” reveals the band utterly transformed. The progressive dance-punk of Antidotes is nowhere to be found here. Instead, the band has moved into a much [...]

Devo converts Olympians with “Uncontrollable Urge”
February 24th, 2010 · No Comments
With its first new album in two decades launching this April, Devo is poised to prove to the world that Devolution is real, looking only slightly rounder for the wear. The band played during prime time at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver two nights ago with a smattering of classics like “Uncontrollable Urge” as well [...]

This album has grown on my ears like a fungus. So good, but so not my style. Something about Beach House harkens back to Red House Painters for me. No idea why.

VIDEO: Vampire Weekend “Giving Up the Gun”
February 19th, 2010 · No Comments
Love them or hate them, Vampire Weekend know how to polarize and confuse an audience. The band’s new video for “Giving Up the Gun” features Joe Jonas, Lil John, Jake Gyllenhaal, and RZA. The WTF-iness of it all is a spectacle in and of itself, but the video is nothing if not amusing. Surreal is [...]

Alan Wilder rejoins Depeche Mode for one-off show
February 19th, 2010 · No Comments
After a somewhat acrimoniously worded letter of departure some 14 years ago, Alan Wilder has returned to Depeche Mode for a one-off show at London’s Royal Albert Hall benefiting the Teenage Cancer Trust. The keyboardist and occasional drummer (and probably the most natural musician of the group) took to the stage to play piano on [...]
Courtney Love is a gift that keeps on giving
February 18th, 2010 · No Comments
The “reunited” Hole (which is actually just Courtney Love with some random session musicians suffering through watered down Grunge 4.0…in 2010!) performed a new song, “Samantha”, on BBC TV show Friday Night With Jonathan Ross last week. Playing live has never exactly been Love’s strong suit, but what is? Not singing. Not typing. Not motherhood. [...]

John Hughes wrote a screenplay based on The Cure’s Lovecats?
February 18th, 2010 · No Comments
Well, according to Molly Ringwald, he did. Writer David Kamp’s recent tribute to John Hughes, the godfather of 80’s teen-angst for film, was a feature spread in Vanity Fair, which also included a few sidebar interviews with some of the actors synonymous with Hughes’ films. In Ringwald’s segment, she talks about her teenage obsession with [...]

Trailer for The Runaways
December 17th, 2009 · No Comments
The trailer for The Runaways starring Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning looks and sounds equally amazing and cheesy: “In 1975, Rock was a man’s world.” Consider me there. And I take back anything I may have ever said about Kristen Stewart playing Joan Jett. She looks awesome. And Sadie over at Jezebel is spot on [...]

The physical version will be officially released on January 25th in a limited edition 10″ format with a special remix by Miike Snow.
