Rock Geek and Fantasy Nerd – We Heart Stephen Malkmus

Oh, good God, that picture is awful. Sorry about the nightmares, folks.
Quick piece of fun reading courtesy of our second favorite-ist sports blog in the world, Deadspin (KSK still rules all). Apparently, Stephen Malkmus has a serious fantasy basketball jones and talks about it with Rotoworld’s Steve Alexander, who plays in a league with the [...]

Animal Collective: Merriweather Post Pavilion [Album Review]

I was charged to write a review of Animal Collective’s new album, so here it is: I love it. It’s way more polished and produced than their others, so some people will hate it, but seriously, as Pitchfork said in its glowing review, no other band in the world could make this album.
As I was [...]

Hype Machine’s Blog Zeitgeist = Bottled Awesomeness

Hype Machine — which for those who don’t know (and you should), is a great resource for finding music and music blogs — introduced the Music Blog Zeitgeist earlier this week and it has to be one of the coolest online music projects ever put together. The basic idea is that the music blog aggregator [...]

‘Flight of the Conchords’ New Season Premiers Online

This is so cool. HBO threw fans of “Flight of the Conchords” — which may be the best series on TV now that “The Wire” bit the dust — a major bone today, debuting the season two premier online, on both its site and Will Ferrell and Adam McKay’s FunnyorDie.com. Awesome display of Web savvy [...]

Commercial Madness: Pavement and Hyundai Capital

This made the rounds throughout the music press last week: A South Korean commercial for Hyundai Capital (a financial offshoot of Hyundai Automotive Group) using Pavement’s “Stereo,” the lead-off track to 1997’s Brighten the Corners. And you thought Hyundai just made crappy cars, huh?
Anyway, the commercial splices together opening bits to “Stereo” with cars, houses [...]

Killing Time with KEXP’s Live Music Vault

If you have a few hours to kill and a hankering for good live music, I’d highly recommend heading over to KEXP’s Web site and checking out its live music archive. The Seattle-based independent radio station has been a Web pioneer since the early days of the Internet and does simply fantastic work, both in [...]

What’s the Definition of a Sellout?

“Yo Flav, you think we’re gonna sell out?”
“I know if we do, we’ll get the hell out!”

— Public Enemy, “Caught, Can We Get A Witness?”
Since the first time it aired, I wondered like hell what Chuck D’s reaction was to “Flavor of Love.” Mine included the words “what,” “the” and “fuck.” In that order, with [...]
