When BloodShot Records sent me a copy of the debut album by Justin Townes Earle, the son of songwriter Steve Earle, I quickly requested an interview with him. While the interview was shorter than I would have liked - he being a man of few words - the album itself is damn fine stuff.

With sold-out shows worldwide and nearly half a million records sold, Leslie Feist is the little indie rocker that […]

March 27th, 2008 by Eric Atienza · No Comments
In the United States these days the term “emo” is widely misunderstood, sometimes to hilarious effect. The modern emo subculture is often the butt of jokes from all sections of American society and is widely seen as a subset of overly depressed, angsty, suburban teens whose social status is derived from who can out-miserable whom.

March 26th, 2008 by Evan Mix · No Comments
After a brief hiatus, Diggin’ the Crates is back. This week, let’s talk about thrift store records. In a lot of ways, this is my favorite kind of digging. You never can tell what you’ll find in a crate in the back of a suburban Goodwill. So, what are the keys to successful thrift store […]

Mix - Hip(ster)-Hop Mashups From The Hood Internet
March 26th, 2008 by Colin Wonnacott · No Comments
The creme de la creme of rap and rock come together in The Hood Internet, a duo of mashup DJs: STV SLV and ABX.
I’ve always been a big fan of the remix. To me, it can be an awesome tool; to re-imagine, revise, or simply add a different flavor to a song. They are a […]

Don’t Make A Mixtape… Make A Muxtape!
March 25th, 2008 by Evan Mix · 2 Comments
When was the last time you made a mixtape? Until five minutes ago, the answer for me was, “It’s been so long, I don’t remember.” But now, thanks to Muxtape.com the answer is, “Just five minutes ago. Want to hear it?”

Press Play: A Review Of The Raconteurs‘ Consolers of the Lonely
March 25th, 2008 by Mykola Bilokonsky · 2 Comments
Here’s one we didn’t see coming: The Raconteurs went into the studio early this month, took a week to record a new album, rushed it to press and quietly announced it a week before its release. It came out today, available everywhere - but due to the secrecy and speed of its release you […]

Listening In Live to Tilly and the Wall: 3/21/2008
March 25th, 2008 by Eric Atienza · No Comments
Since the moment they decided to use Jamie Williams‘ tap-dancing feet for percussion instead of drums, Tilly and the Wall has been a band unafraid of taking chances with its music.
