Black Rebel Motorcycle Club from the front row ZOMG
(Preview)
Oh sweet God, I spontaneously decided to see BRMC last night at the House of Blues in Boston, and... wow. I hope my crappy cell phone photos can tell the story until I'm able to write my review (I'd do it today, but it is Easter and, more importantly, opening day). Setlist: War Machine Mama Taught Me Bette...

Pearl Jam on SNL
(Preview)
For some, reason Pearl Jam is going to be on SNL this week. I don't know if this is common knowledge or not. I'm sure they'll play something from Backspacer, but I'll still watch I suppose....that Eddie Vedder is just so tan!

What are you listening to?

(Preview)
This just seems like a staple that needs to be included somewhere on every message board the internet has ever seen. Very simply, as the title suggests, what are you listening to? Me? Today, during my ipod (aka, "lunch") break, I was digging R.E.M - Murmur. I've had a thing for all 80s R.E.M....

Favorite Zero-Star Album
(Preview)
Yes, it has a few zero-star songs, but I'll go to my grave thinking The Smashing Pumpkins' Machina/The Machines of God is freaking great. It's my second-favorite SP album. Critics, eat a dick!

The Raconteurs- Consolers of the Lonely
(Preview)
So I picked this up today, all giddy. It's not a bad album at all, it's just... what's the word? Unremarkable? I'm interested to see what your opinion on this is, Nick. There are quite a few good songs on there, but I'm not quite sure what to make of it yet.

Smashing Pumpkins
(Preview)
Alright, before I start, let me say that at no time in my life have I disliked Smashing Pumpkins. All through high school, I liked just about every song of theirs I heard on the radio -- "Cherub Rock," "Today," "Drown," "Disarm," "Bullet with Butter...

ZEPPELIN RULES!

All right, fresh from the news page: Led Zeppelin boards the mothership Everyone's favorite bombastic, mystique-filled 70s hard rockers are planning a new 2-disc best-of release, as well as a deluxe version of The Song Remains the Same. More importantly, though, are the rumours that they're gear...

What are you not listening to?
(Preview)
Muse. They're alternative, they're heavy, and they're British. I love Feeder, Snow Patrol, Blur, Supergrass, etc. So I'm supposed to like it. It's supposed to be right up my alley. But I just can't groove to it. I even had a girl's ass bounce all over my face to "Supermassive Black Hole" and...

BRMC and Kings of Leon
(Preview)
I just got back from the Kings of Leon/Black Rebel Motorcycle Club show in Tempe, and my ears are buzzing, so it's not a good idea to go to sleep right away. Kings of Leon were great, and so were BRMC, so much so that they really have no business opening for anyone. In lieu of more significant analysis, here...

Listeners Anonymous

Okay, I know we all go through phases, but what's your most extreme, obscure musical vice? For example, I have an ex who's metal as all get out. Dyed hair, eyeliner, closet full of black boots. Her car CD case is all Pantera and NIN and KMFDM. Her best friend dated the guitarist from Drowning Pool ("...

YouTube!

As many know (Rachel), I've been listening to a lot of early R.E.M. for the past month or so, and usually in my headphones for everyone's sanity. But I found a few early gems, and my favorites are these two: "Radio Free Europe" and "So. Central Rain," from their first TV appearanc...

Work appropriate
(Preview)
OK. If someone at work kept asking you what you did for fun, and you said you liked music, and they repeatedly kept asking you if you thought that Evanescence and Avril Lavigne were the two best vocalists in the world aside from the contestants on American Idol, how would you respond? Would you: A) Point...

Pearl Jam - Live at the Gorge Box set

Holy live shows, Batman! Pearl Jam is unleashing a 7.5-hour live box set of their shows at the Gorge in Washington. It's supposedly 7 discs. The presale is going on right now for fan club members (you know who you are). Excuse me. I need a change of pants. -- Edited by Nick at 16:28, 2007-05-02
