Man Man will embark on a respectable foray this evening. The band is touring in support of their recently released Six Demon Bag, an album reviewed favorably last week at this very website. These guys put on a good show. I suggest you check them out if you get the chance:
02-24 Brooklyn, NY - Northsix
02-25 […]

Slushpile.net recounts a humorous story of an overly ambitious groupie at a recent Motley Crue concert. This whole situation just points out the need to be realistic about your personal strengths and weaknesses. And the quality of your leather.

The latest album from The Fiery Furnaces has surfaced on the net. No word yet as to how good it is, but I’m sure love/hate will begin soon. Hopefully this new release gets away from the monumental failures of Rehearsing My Choir.
In 2004 the sibling duo released their enormously succesful Blueberry Boat. The album was […]

NME is reporting that Test Icicles have decided to cease operations. The band announced they would be cancelling their much anticipated US tour and performing their final five UK shows before ending their union. NME reports, “The band have just come off a European tour and are exhausted from the constant pressures of touring, subsequently […]

The 80s marked a cataclysmic time for music. Big hair, big riffs, leather, pastels, and all sorts of other things you’d probably rather not think about. Despite its disasters, the decade produced some very enduring music (look at the current 80s night craze). One such example is Metallica’s Master of Puppets. released 20 years ago […]

South by Southwest, or SXSW if you’re one of the hip kids, has announced the schedule for their 2006 event. The nine day festival features the latest sights and sounds from the industry of cool. Practically all of the “in” bands and films will be showcased to the gluttonous masses. Unfortunately, I can’t attend due […]

Man Man’s Six Demon Bag plays like one of those mystery concoctions you made during lunch as a kid. You know the one where you mixed a lot of food that shouldn’t go together. Ketchup, mustard, milk, maybe some bread, whatever else was available. Then you probably dared your friend to eat it for $5 […]

Hey guys, just a quick bit of fairly inconsequential weekend news for you all. Anime News is reporting that Ergo Proxy , an upcoming TV anime series will feature Radiohead’s “Paranoid Android” as its theme. The series seems to be in Japanese and I assume they won’t be translating the lyrics, so I’m not sure […]

Metallica announced Thursday that Rick Rubin will be producing their new record. Rubin has an illustrious track record (no pun intended) as he has manned the controls for some of the best albums from Slayer, Red Hot Chili Peppers, System of a Down, and The Mars Volta among others. Many fans have blamed Metallica’s decline […]
