What Ever Happened to Ringtones?
New blog post: I usually get a fair amount of emails from people requesting that I post infographics to my sites. This time around, I was sent one on ringtones that I thought would be more fitting to post here.

First Listen: Death Rattle – Demo 2011
New blog post: I first heard about Death Rattle from Ryan Shuck, former guitarist for the band Orgy and currently the vocalist for Julien-k. Death Rattle mixes a blend of 80s synth, glam, electropop, and industrial into their offerings.

Handpicked: Prince – When Doves Cry
New blog post: You cannot dismiss the idea that Prince’s older music was a big deal way back in the 80s, and still is today. ”When Doves Cry” was the first single from Prince’s 1984 album, Purple Rain, and was the top selling single of that year. Here’s Prince at his finest. This always has been, and always […] http://bit.ly/ukWxqB

Such Gold / A Loss For Words Split
New blog post: Two of my favorite “up and coming” bands decided to get together and create a 4 song split (each band contributing 2 new songs). For those unfamiliar with the bands, Such Gold is pop punk with a hardcore edge. Watch their music video “Sycamore” for a general idea of their sound. A Loss For […] http://bit.ly/t7MQmv
Handpicked: Finch – Awake
New blog post: What It Is to Burn by Finch is one of those albums I periodically must revisit. Every time I listen to the band’s debut album, I am reminded of how diverse each song is, especially for the time it was released (2001). Each song encapsulates its own sub-genre of post-hardcore and alternative rock. Today’s song comes […] http://bit.ly/rYUISi
Handpicked: The Dandy Warhols – Mohammad
New blog post: Over time, “Mohammad” has become my favorite song from the Dandy Warhols. The song is the second track from their third album Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia. Nestled between the songs “Godless” and ”Nietzsche”, “Mohammad” paints a surreal landscape that evokes imagination and serenity. Sit back, relax, and enjoy this track. Big thanks to my friend, […]...

Cobra Skulls gave me exactly that… a straightforward punk rock record on their Fat Wreck Chords debut. They open with the catchy anthem “Six Degrees”. It’s fast and doesn’t let […] http://bit.ly/rAYrmd

Handpicked: Gogol Bordello – Alcohol
New blog post: Gogol Bordello is one of my favorite ethnically driven bands out there. Described as gypsy punk rockers, the band knows how to put on a great show. I saw them a few years ago in Chicago at the Metro with some friends. The opening acts were kind of shitty, but Gogol’s 2+ hour set and […] http://bit.ly/rINWcn

New blog post: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo film soundtrack is one I have been looking forward to since I heard that Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross would be writing the score for it.
