One of the most anticipated records of the year, the newest from Modest Mouse titled “We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank” is going quick. This is the first album featuring guitarist Johnny Marr (formerly of The Smiths), and (in my opinion) the best album since The Moon and Antarctica. So, come get it.

Last year’s death of J Dilla was sad not only because he was so young and such a great musician, but because he was just beginning to be acknowledged as one of the greats. Dilla did not seek recognition and stardom by making big anthems and saying his name on every track he produced. [...]

Antibalas is a modern American Afrobeat band/orchestra that includes some of the finest players in New York, many of whom [...]

Sleep deprived for days, overworked, exhausted, and just about to collapse into my bed, a bit of internet news has taken my rather sucky day and nursed it back to hopefulness. Today, after three years of waiting, Bjork’s website announced the release details of her sixth album. It will be titled Volta, and [...]

This coming Tuesday, the new album by RJD2, “The Third Hand,” drops on XL. Those familiar with his work from his Definitive Jux albums should be surprised. The sampler hero has changed his approach. For one thing, he is singing. What? DJs aren’t supposed to sing! Thank heavens RJ [...]

This is a long overdue hype post about one of the best albums of the year. Justin Broadrick aka Jesu followed up his phenominal Silver EP with an even better new full length titled Conqueror.
