As Stereogum points out, Tom Morello joined Bright Eyes on stage for a couple of songs that included “Arienette” and a pretty sloppy “Road to Joy.” While it seems like a kind of weird combo, Morello’s mastery of controlled feedback complemented the moody “Arienette” pretty well before he launched into one of his typical whacked-out solos.   read more

The Nightwatchman: World Wide Rebel Songs

Tom Morello has always been defined by social consciousness, but when he rasps, “I’ll whisper words of freedom, I’ll swing hard as I can/ Save the hammer for the man,” his conviction sizzles.

Tom Morello and Boots Riley Form Street Sweeper Social Club

If you thought the pairing of Chris Cornell and Timbaland was a bad idea, well, go ahead and keep thinking that. Meanwhile, the new collaboration between Tom Morrello (the ex-Audioslave guitarist who once helped funkify the politically charged Rage Against the Machine) and hip-hop vanguard Boots Riley (of Oakland, Ca.'s The Coup) is a bit more respectable and infinitely cooler....  read more
