5 The Killers Sawdust is a generous offering of goodies, including b-sides, rarities, remixes, and covers from the band’s short two album career. “Tranquilize,” a new track featuring Lou Reed, is by far the highlight. A dark distorted bass-line and a Pink Floyd esque children’s choir hold together the 3 and a half minute short [...]

9.5 Even if Radiohead’s In Rainbows was a monumental disappointment, this record would still make pop history. Radiohead started the warnings just a few weeks ago, posting coded messages on their blog, Dead Air Space. It was only a week until they posted about their album release, giving fans only a few days to decide [...]

PLUG: Independent Music Awards announced their nominees for 2008, and yes, Radiohead counts now. Album of the Year nominees include a little album called In Rainbows, which technically counts as an independent or “self release.” Other nominees include: Arcade Fire’s Neon Bible, Spoon’s Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga (5 Ga’s? Yeah), and Band of Horses’ [...]

The Police Reunion tour this summer (which I missed, because I suck) was named the top grossing tour of 2007 at the 4th Annual Billboard Touring Awards on Thursday (yeah, there’s an award for everything). 20 years in the making, the tour grossed a total of $171 million over 53 shows. Other awards included breakthrough [...]

OK, we all know Jack White is cooler then we are, but must he continue to rub salt in the wound? The White Stripes announced that they will release 3 different 7″ vinyls (black, red and white) for their new single “Conquer.” Each release will feature a new track co-produced by Beck, who also contributed [...]

I first heard the Alice Smith track “Dream” in an episode of Entourage this summer (you know, the Furries episode). For Lovers, Dreamers & Me was released independently on BBE in 2006. It was completely sold out on Amazon, except for a few used copies for over $30. Well, Alice was signed to Epic, and [...]
