Malajube unveils "Porté Disparu" video for Labyrinthes

By Michael Saba at 3:18 PM on February 11, 2009

There used to be a time when having a band from Montreal was an instant guarantee for at least three months of positive blog press (that honor now belongs to Baltimore, with the stipulation that they have at least one toy keyboard in their repertoire.) Fortunately for the Francophile contingent, nothing will stop Malajube from delivering Quebec's finest progressive-indie-emo-jams (their words.) The band is preparing for the release of Labyrinthes, the follow-up to its breakout 2006 album Trompe L'Oeil....  read more

Spike Jonze reuniting with Weezer for band's next video

By Sean Gandert at 9:20 AM on October 24, 2008

Like peanut butter and jelly, Sonny and Cher, or a monkey and a cowboy outfit, some things just go together well. Collaborations between Weezer and Spike Jonze have always been fruitful, producing some of the most inventive music videos ever conceived. Videos for "Undone," "Buddy Holly," and "Island in the Sun" helped Jonze get the notice he needed to transition into the feature director he is today....  read more

The Everybodyfields cover the Everly Brothers in Chattanooga, Tenn.

By Rachael Maddux at 12:36 PM on October 8, 2008

I was half-passed out on a couch in Austin when the Everybodyfields played in my hometown two weeks ago, so I missed Sam Quinn and Jill Andrews' incredibly sweet cover of the Everly Brothers "All I Have to Do is Dream." The population of Texas should thank YouTube user billfive for taking this video. Had he not, I'd be trading all y'all and your tacos and barbecue for a time machine so I could zap back in time, battle I-75 up from Atlanta and crash at my parents' house to see it myself. (Watch out, I still might.)Vague personal threats...  read more

Watch Ben Kingsley portray Minor Threat's Ian MacKaye

By Henry Freedland at 1:38 PM on September 19, 2008

Perhaps it was his role as Don Logan in Sexy Beast that helped Ben Kingsley connect with his inner angry, unbridled side—a far cry from the actor's famous performance as Ghandi. Whatever the case, Mean Magazine's recent video of the knighted, Oscar-winning actor lip-syncing as Ian MacKaye to hardcore punk band Minor Threat's eponymous classic song has got the Internet all in a tizzy with questions. ...  read more

Thomas Function, the Alabama band that considers itself part of an ongoing "rock-n-roll renaissance," begins its fall tour next week. The band's debut, Celebration, came out earlier this year (it's quite good, if we do say so ourselves), and the guys are looking forward to the November release of a 7".

Okkervil River films stand ins covering Stand Ins

By Henry Freedland at 9:42 AM on August 27, 2008

It's almost too much, really. As anticipation builds for The Stand Ins, Okkervil River's follow-up to last year's The Stage Names, the Austin band has begun to fan its fans' desires by opening up a YouTube channel with covers of all the album's songs. Covers, that is, before the Sept. 9 official release of the originals—crazy. ...  read more

By Sean Gandert at 5:05 PM on August 20, 2008

Weezer sent an invitation out to fans through its e-mail list to be in the band's next music video.  Seeing as how last time Rivers Cuomo and Co. gave out such an invite it lead fans to the Playboy Mansion, we thought it only prudent to send the info to any interested readers that will be in the Los Angeles area this tomorrow (Aug. 21) and willing to take the day off for some filming....  read more
