Purple Suns, MINES: The Spin Cycle Review
If you’re longing for the days when QOTSA was an indie band and still had that post-Kyuss fresh from the desert scent then Purple Suns is band you should definitely be paying attention to. On their latest EP, MINES, the band from Neptune (New Jersey, not the planet although their music could most certainly be classified as out of this world) lay on the rawk, pile on the grooves, and create something truly unique and wonderful. Opener “Naked Eyes” lays the groundwork […]
Who The Hell Are…Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors?
Curious about that song that played towards the end of “How I Met Your Mother” last Monday? Just want to be introduced to a great new artist? Well, here ya go.

Spin Cycle: Soul Khan’s “Wellstone” EP
Battle rapper Soul Khan has unleashed a new album entitled “Wellstone.” Check out the review!
The Viewfinder: The Darcys Cover Steely Dan’s “Josie”
I discovered Steely Dan when I was 17. I was working at Tower Records in New York City and I had a coworker named Fred who played The Royal Scam over and over. It didn’t take long for me to investigate further and fully enjoy the fruits of my investigations. Not only do Donald and Walter have a way with a sly lyric (when I can figure out what the hell they’re talking about in the first place,) but their […]
Spin Cycle: Joseph Arthur’s “Redemption City”
Joseph Arthur is a prolific mad genius. Like contemporaries Ryan Adams and Robert Pollard, Arthur is a man who simply can’t seem to help making music. He once described songs that made up the four EPs he released in 2008 as “strange animals in a cosmic cage begging for release”; he released an album a scant seven months ago; and now, seemingly out of nowhere, he’s dumped Redemption City on his devoted fanbase as a free digital download, and surprisingly to […]
Free Music! Ashley Arrison’s “Hearts on Parade”
Singer/songwriter Ashley Arrison was the subject of one of our very first “Who the Hell Is?” columns. Ashley’s a little bit rootsy, a little bit rock and roll, and a little bit pop. One of her benefactors, in fact, is a woman who shares similar characteristics, former “American Idol” champ and current Grammy-winning superstar, Kelly Clarkson. In the year since we spotlighted her, what has Ashley been up to? Well, she’s been recording her debut album, Hearts on Parade. The album is finished […]
Get a Little Taste of “Summertime” with Free (ish) Music from Josh Rouse
Two things I love? Free music and singer/songwriters (talented ones!) So it totally makes sense that I’d be psyched about Summertime, a new 25-song (free) sampler from singer/songwriter Josh Rouse. I discovered Josh a year or so through my friends Robert Cass and Scott Poulson-Bryant , purchased two of his albums within a week or so of hearing him for the first time, and fell in love pretty much immediately. Now, you have the chance to fall in love too! Head over to Josh’s page on Noisetrade , […]
“Be the One” to Get Free Music from Moby
You know how I know I’m spoiled? I downloaded the Be the One EP from Moby’s website a few days ago and caught myself getting pissed because it was only three songs! I had to remind myself, “dude, it’s FREE!!” The ubiquity of Moby’s breakout album, Play (just about every song was licensed to a TV show or commercial of some sort) is now over a decade behind us (and the fact that the album’s still enjoyable after all of that […]
Share Wendy & Lisa, Why Don’t You?
I’ll skip making the obvious “is the water warm enough?” joke that I’ve made just about every time I’ve written something about Wendy Melvoin & Lisa Coleman and say that Prince’s two most celebrated bandmates are musically talented enough that they should be judged on their own merits and not via anything Purple. Five albums as a duo, a career as Emmy-winning scorers of TV and movie music, tons of production and instrumental credits for the likes of Seal, Meshell […]
