  • Video: MC Lars And Bowling For Soup's Jaret Reddick At The Double Wide

    I missed a ton of good shows around town last week--Thanksgiving with the folks in Boston, y'know--but the one I'm probably most disappointed about missing, which probably says a lot about me, is the nerdcore show at the Double Wide on Saturday. MC Lars? MC Frontalot? ytcracker? These guys are titans in the nerdcore world, people! And I've actually gotten to know Bryce Case, Jr., aka ytcracker, pretty well thanks to my time working in his home town of Colorado Springs. He's pretty legit: At

  • Today in Music News: KRS-One's Still Anti-Violence, Kurt Cobain's Still Worth It, Stereogum's Got The Goods And Wayne Coyne's Feeling The Spirit...

    Your top national music stories for Wednesday, December 24, 2008: Remember back in '89 when no one knew we were in the midst of Hip-Hop's "golden age" and KRS-One schooled us on why non-violence is good with the ditty "Self Destruction?" Well, now the young pups of today can have their own version: KRS-One, along with David Banner, Talib Kweli, The Game, 50 Cent and others have recorded "Self Destruction 2009." See? It's not just Natalie Maines, Eddie Vedder and Steve Earle who are p

  • Worst Lyrics of 2008

    And now it's time for the "I love you like a fat kid loves cake" memorial Worst Lyrics of 2008, March Madness-style tournament, this year a terrifying mélange of appalling oral-sex requests, bargain-bin philosophies, grammatical atrocities, and cringe-inducing pillow talk. To elevate the drama, I provided a trusted colleague with the 16 artists who qualified and had him assign seeds--Lil Wayne you expect to go deep into a showdown like this, but Lucinda Williams? Some fantastic match-ups result

  • Today In Music News: Britney Tweets, 50 Cent Drinks, Lance Bass Dreams and Kelly Clarkson Beams

    Your daily dose of national music news for Tuesday, January 6, 2009... Someone hacked into Britney Spears' Twitter account to let the world know that her cooter is four feet wide and has teeth. Yikes! TMI, Brit! 50 Cent has been signed by a liquor company to help market their cognac. I guess you can't knock the hustle. Lance Bass is hoping that N'SYNC will reunite sometime in the future. You know who isn't hoping for a reunion? Justin Timberlake. Kelly Clarkson has given one

  • Today In Music News: Hear New Eminem, Save Amy Winehouse, See Jane's Addiction And Smile At Kanye's Karma.

    Your daily dose of national music news for Thursday, January 8, 2009... The alleged final version of Eminem's Dr. Dre-produced, "Crack a Bottle" has hit the world wide interweb. It features Fitty and Dre, each contributing a verse. The reclusive rapper even takes a jab at himself in reference to the rumors he got fat, saying, "In this corner...weighing in at 175 lbs...Slim Shady!" I don't think this is the first single of the forthcoming Relapse album, though. Isn't his first single

  • Today In Music News: 50 Cent Mocks Kanye, Daft Punk Loves Obama

    Your daily dose of national hip-hop news for Wednesday, January 21, 2009... Hip-hop beefs are nothing new--they've been around for years. But it seems that 50 Cent has now taken to creating controversies as his promotional tool. He still seems to think that Kanye West is his adversary for some reason, and recently mocked the producer/rapper/singer in concert at his show in Albany. Is that desperation I detect Fitty? It's so 2007. Hey, did you hear anything about a new President yes

  • Today In Music News: Andy Samberg To Record Album, Kanye To Cry Any Minute, Jay-Z To Include Three Blog Faves On New Album

    Your daily dose of national music news for Friday, January 23, 2009...Hey, did you like the Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake song "Dick In A Box" (see above)? It was pretty funny, right? Well, Samberg and his comedy writing partners are coming out with an album now...I guess Kanye West has let the new emotional side of his music affect him. He feels like 50 Cent "spit on him" when he recently made some negative remarks about him. Kanye, try to remember this: When your sad and grumpy, down in t

    Your daily dose of national music news for Monday, March 23, 2009...Eminem and Flea are among the presenters for this years Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees. Em will induct Run-DMC; Flea will induct Metallica.It's funny how 50 Cent likes to take jabs at easy targets like Rick Ross, but, when it comes to standing up for himself with Lil Wayne, Mr. Cent seems to just take it all in stride. Weezy took another lyrical jab at 50 on a leaked song the surfaced this past Friday. Let's see if Mr. Cen

    Your daily dose of national music news for Wednesday, April 8, 2009... Good news if you're a fan of iTunes: Apple launched a tiered pricing system yesterday and discontinued the DRM on all downloads. Which is great news for people who don't read music blogs and get their songs for free. Free documentaries seem to be all the rage lately: Conor Oberst will release One Of My Kind for free.The documentary followed Oberst and his Mystic Valley band from its recording session to the end of&nb

As anyone who's ever worked in an office can tell you, love of cake--particularly free birthday cake--knows no socioeconomic, racial, gender or belt-size boundaries. If it's been too long since someone you love has celebrated a birthday, you can get your free-cake fix toda

Kajagoogoo are reuniting for the first time in 25 years. Something tells me it's not to promote a greatest hit collection. Wanna taste of what Eminem sounded like before he hit it big?
