Dave Grohl, for me, has always been one of the most likeable guys in rock. There are no “Grohl is a tool” stories (that I’m aware of)-he looks and acts like a fairly normal guy, and I think he holds the same appeal for most other music fans. Which is why I, like so many other music fans, am extremely psyched that the Foo Fighters score their first #1 album EVER with Wasting Light‘s entry this week. 16 years after […]

New Release Report 4/12/11: A “So Beautiful” List of Releases
After a bit of a hiccup, the surprisingly robust release schedule that’s been par for the course these past few weeks is back. If you’re a rock fan, you obviously know that the Foo Fighters’ Wasting Light hits stores today (reminder: we’ve reviewed it).

Award Show Sundays: A John & (Different) Paul Production

The Valentine's Day Mix
As much as I sometimes try to forget the existence of this day, I’ve already been hit with several reminders that it’s Valentine’s Day in the past hour alone (and it’s only 9:20 in the morning). So I figured that instead of being a scrooge, I’d share some of my favorite love songs with you. These are songs that perfectly explained things that I’ve felt at times that I was in love (as opposed to just wicked horny), and songs […]
2010 Bonnaroo Lineup Announced
While I’ve been to my share of outdoor concerts, I’ve never been to a multi-day concert festival before. After looking at the lineup for the 2010 Bonnaroo music festival, that just might change. Rolling Stone’s website published an article today listing the confirmed artists, and there are some very cool names on the list. So far, the biggest names are Jay-Z, Dave Matthews Band, Kings of Leon and Stevie Wonder. I’m probably due to check Jigga out in a live setting, and from […]
