• Echoes And Reverberations: Hitchhiking Along Post-Industrial Boulevard

  Noise is not for everybody. Some people hear a jackhammer on the street corner and promptly cover their ears; others hear a subsonic melody and random harmonic movement in the staccato repetition of mechanized machinery. “Industrial music” is the umbrella term used to describe artists who eschew acoustic or organic instrumentation for equipment like samplers, sequencers, and the odd chunk of found metal. Vocals aren’t so much sung as spoken or bleated repeatedly as if coming from a mi

• Where's the (Kosher) Beef?

  In today's breaking news about the scarcity of kosher beef around the country, this local connection: Dallas-based A.D. Rosenblatt Kosher Meats, run by COO Yaakov Rosenblatt, has had to up its production to meet the meat demand, going from three days a week to five. Also contained within the piece is this opening sentence available to any aspiring Jewish novelist worth his or her kosher salt: "He's hired more rabbis to slaughter and inspect his beef." (Also sounds like a Beastie Boys lyric.) And

  Your daily dose of national music news for Thursday, May 7, 2009...The script for the Nick Cave-penned sequel to Gladiator has been unearthed. Nick Cave may need to quit his day job with the Bad Seeds and start writing movies.You can check out the possibly new track from the Beastie Boys--"Lee Majors Comes Again"--here. The song was featured on the reissue of their classic Check Your Head.That girl from the Gossip Girl show debuted her band in New York... and it's surprisingly not that bad (s

Any place that serves cheese boards is aspiring to a level of sophistication far beyond the dude diet, I thought. Cheese is meant to be a topping for chili dogs, or melted wi

Blige, Clay Aiken, two-thirds of the Beastie Boys, Cyndi Lauper, Steve Earle, Adam Levine and on and on. (Also guesting was another former local, Norah Jones. So, bonus.)

• Today In Music News: Scarlett Johansson Fills Out Another Album, Weezer Get A Wuggie, The Beastie Boys Love Hot Sauce

  Your daily dose of national music news for Wednesday, May 26, 2009... Let's hope that Zooey Dechanel and M. Ward haven't started a bad Hollywood trend. Unfortunately, it's looking like they did: Scarlett Johansson and Pete Yorn have teamed up for a duets album titled Break Up. After Snuggie-mania swept the nation last year, it looks like it swept up Weezer along with it. Rivers Cuomo is such a fan, he commissioned a Weezer Snuggie called the Wuggie. Sing it with me: So you want to de-stroy

Hard drives containing at least 100 unreleased songs--new and old--were taken by his sister LaToya.The Outside Lands Festival booked the most logical replacement for the Beastie Boys: Tenacious D.Steven Tyler was airlifted to a hospital after falling off the stage during a performance at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, while performing "Love

• Entrance Music: The Texas Rangers Have Hits and Ice Cream.

  Over on his Sportatorium blog this morning, Observer sports columnist Richie Whitt checks in with the head of the Texas Rangers' in-game entertainment, Chuck Morgan. Uh, why care? Well, 'cause of this: Morgan's the guy who runs the music at the Ballpark, and he helps the players decide what songs they're going to come up to bat or approach the pitching mound to. And today, Morgan's been kind enough to provide Richie with a list of players and the songs to which they enter the game.

• ACL '09: Eddie Vedder Knows How To Play A Tambourine (Or: So That Wasn't Just Some Drunk Guy On Stage With Kings of Leon?)

  First things first: Pangs of regret fill our hearts this morning at DC9--which, consider that today is Saturday, sounds about par for course. But, alas, today we have reason beyond our undiagnosed manic depression: Specifically, we missed the above seemingly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to catch one Eddie Vedder jumping on stage and jamming out with the Followill clan at ACL last night. We just figured we'd see the Kings on Wednesday at the ACC. So, yeah, we missed the collaboration. Sorry. Bu
