New Nine Inch Nails Album Is Free and Out NOW

From Ear Farm, Posted May, 5th 2008

As payoff to the two weeks of speculation following Trent Reznor "leaking" new single "Discipline" to radio stations, the announcement came early this morning (late last night depending on your perspective) that NIN was releasing an entirely new album - The Slip - for FREE.And just like that (and with a valid email address), it's available for free download right NOW. As though Ghosts I-IV wasn't enough material to digest, The Slip offers 10 new tracks (with a TRT of...

Upcoming from Marvel Studios...

From Cable and Tweed, Posted May, 5th 2008

Did you see that Iron Man topped $200 million for its opening weekend? $104 in the U.S. alone? Wow. While those are impressive numbers for any film, I've been really pulling for Iron Man because it is the first movie project developed in-house at Marvel. You remember those Spider-Man, X-Men, Blade, Fantastic Four, Hulk, Punisher, Daredevil, Elektra, and Ghost Rider movies? Some were good, some were awful, but all of them were produced by film...

It's not Canada Day. It's not today.

From Headphones On, Posted May, 5th 2008

I have no real reason for the Canadian artists du jour. Maybe it's a Canadian holiday today? Maybe I just like Canadians. Plants And Animals - A Loree Desbois Hello, Blue Roses - Shadow Falls The Cansecos - Raised......

Ticket Giveaway: Shearwater @ the Paradise with Clinic

From Bradleys Almanac, Posted May, 5th 2008

While Shearwater doesn't release "Rook" (their Matador-released follow-up to 2006's brilliant "Palo Santo") until June 3rd, they'll undoubtedly be playing songs from it at the Paradise in Boston this Friday night, May the 9th. The band (who are fronted by the golden-throated Jonathan Meiberg, himself on leave from keyboard duties in Okkervil River) is opening for Liverpool's Clinic, who...

Belle & Sebastian + Perv Humor = Strangely Satisfying

From Its Hard to Find a Friend, Posted May, 5th 2008

So, I wanted to take a break from editing backstage sessions video to make this post. I saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall last night and was pleasantly surprised to be graced by the stylings of everyone's favorite tweeple, Belle & Sebastian. If you know much about this movie, you know that's kind of a weird fit but it really worked, quite well actually.You should see the movie too if you got into Superbad at all.[mp3] Belle & Sebastian - Get Me...

Monday Music Roundup

From I am Fuel, You are Friends, Posted May, 5th 2008

I had a full day interview here on Friday. Now that's eight hours straight of me talking about myself coherently and winningly. This is a draining endeavor, no matter how exciting the job or how good of a fit. I did mostly okay except for one specific question where I recall clearly starting to veer into Miss Teen USA territory ("such as"). Hey! Turns out if you don't know the answer, continuing to talk is not going to help you...

Singles going steady 22: Tanya Donelly

From The Daily Growl, Posted May, 5th 2008

Tanya Donelly seems to have been a bit quiet of late. That's maybe because she has. Her last studio album was in 2004, with only the live album This Hungry Life since then. But it's understandable - as someone with a small child, I can understand the lack of activity on the music front. Sometimes there are other, more important things to deal with. In fact, Donelly must be really enoying the whole kids thing, because according to a post...

Portishead - Third

From Covert Curiosity, Posted May, 5th 2008

After taking a decade-long break, Portishead is back in a big way. On April 28th they released Third, their first studio album in 11 years, just two days after providing what was one of the highlight performances at the Coachella music festival. Up until a week ago I only had never listened to a full Portishead album, but I feel like I have almost made up for it by listening to Third a couple of times a day since I...

New Radio Dept | "Freddie and the Trojan Horse"

From Sound Bites, Posted May, 5th 2008

Has it really been two years since The Radio Dept. released Pet Grief? The calendar says "yes." The only reason I noticed this was a missive from Labrador records letting me know that their new album, Clinging to a Scheme,......
