The two bands toured together last year and today, Sleeper Agent debuted their second video off _Celabrasion_, “Get Burned,” that Cage The Elephant singer Matt Shultz directed. read more
Chuck Prophet: Temple Beautiful
Not since Lou Reed paid homage to the city and era that forged him with New York has there been a song cycle dedicated to a place and reality that offers the core immediacy with the thump, churn and ferocity of Chuck Prophet’s Temple Beautiful. A stripped down rock & roll record - where the drums pump and echo, guitars slash and buzz and horns squawk like geese with rhythm - the former wunderkind of progressive cosmic cowboys Green On Red bristles with an intensity that makes great rock burn. read more

Listen to Jack White's New Solo Track "Machine Gun Silhouette"
Jack, even if the world didn't know Third Man Records address is on a quant street in Nashville, we could tell you that that's the city you've been occupying. Why?

Today White has released single "Machine Gun Silhouette" off his forthcoming solo album Blunderbuss. read more
Foo Fighters And Deadmau5 To Perform Together At The Grammys
While this collaboration of hard rock and trance dance might sound strange, the concept of the Foo Fighters working with Deadmau5 isn’t actually that new. In fact, the mouse-ear-touting DJ already worked his magic on the Foos’ song “Rope” and the remixed version of the song appeared as a bonus track on last year’s _Wasting Light_. read more
New Girl Review: "The Landlord" Episode 1.12)
While it has seemed like Nick and Jess have been predetermined to end up together at some point in New Girl, it is less because they are the show’s two main stars, but rather that they are two opposite ends of the spectrum. In “The Landlord”, Jess is the girl who can turn around the angry driver with a gun with only a smile and for the second episode in a row, uses cupcakes as a friendly tool to get others to help her. Simply put, she sees the world with rose colored glasses on, even as a child accepting candy from a stranger in a van, which for once in the world, turned out to be a good thing as he brought his grandmother along to hand out the sweets. On the other hand, Nick’s viewpoint is that people are the worst. Stemmed from a childhood where a man once stole $5 from him and ran away, Nick believes that man does not have the best intentions. New Girl may seem like the wrong format to debate the inherent good or evil in man, but with “The Landlord”, Jess and Nick take on their ideals in an awkward, and hilarious battle, to see who is right. read more

Bahamas: Barchords
If you expect a guy called Bahamas to make laid-back, tropical music, you’d be half-right. On Barchords, Bahamas (or Afie Jurvanen, as his mamma calls him) crafts a collection of light, sometimes even breezy tracks infused with blues (“Lost in the Light”), pop (“Your Sweet Touch”) and country (“Any Other Way”). Oddly, one of the most notable things about Barchords is how much silence it contains. In an effort to create space for the songs’ sentiments, Jurvanen has taken quite the stripped-down approach to instrumentation, favoring vocals high in the mix and at times leaving long moments of silence between... read more
