Steve LampirisSo Ted Nugent, everyone’s favorite right-wing has-been musician, said something stupid. Doesn’t seem that newsworthy. Or something that the Secret Service would look into. Mostly, that’s the case. The man could reasonable be called mentally unstable. So it shouldn’t really be a shock that he said something the SS interpreted as potentially threatening to President Obama. And I quote… I’ll tell you this right now: if Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I…
Firefly Music Festival buzzing with killer lineup
Hailie Hay
Ever heard of Dover, Delaware? You know, the capital city of that first U.S. state, located just under Pennsylvania and New Jersey and cut off from Maryland by one clean eastern border…The one with Dover International Speedway, Silver Lake, a quaint, down-home feel… And Firefly Music Festival? In late July of this year (the 20-22, to be exact), more than 30 of the most prominent indie/alternative artists of today will be meeting up in Dover,…
King Charles
Joe Mills
With his debut album, Loveblood, due to come out early may, having come second in the ‘MTV Brand New For 2010’, and playing shows all over Europe, things really seem to be getting exciting for King Charles. Having toured with acts such as Laura Marling, Noah and the Whale and Mumford and Sons, he has already been recognised as having some serious talent. The great thing about him is that after all that he still…
New Music Round-up: Soundgarden, Torche and Kanye West
Holy hell, has it been quite a six-day run for new music. New tracks from Soundgarden, Torche and Yeezy all came out since the middle of last week. First up, the reunited grunge gods Soundgarden put out a single from the forthcoming Avengers Assemble album (the soundtrack to the Avengers film) called “Live to Rise.” I was initially excited cause, ya know, it’s fucking Soundgarden. It is, sadly, simply meh: a do-nothing riff over the…

Given To The Wild – The Maccabees
Olivia Pad
The Maccabees are proving to be a huge brit-indie rock band – and with their new album “Given To The Wild” – have definitely grown. I must admit I was quite oblivious to the fact they would be releasing a new album, but after hearing the news I was fairly mellow, not excited. I absolutely loved their first album “Colour It In” and found it hard to stop listening to it. Their follow up “Wall…
RIAA (and MPAA) shown to be kinda full of shit
So in case you didn’t already have reason to doubt to the so-called facts that have been spouted off by the RIAA and MPAA in reference to piracy, lemme give you one. There’s this TED talk wherein Rob Reid (humorously) discusses the figures cited by those two bodies for the supposed losses they suffer from internet piracy. As it turns out, the numbers are more or less bullshit. Reid points out at the beginning that…
Davy Jones 12/30/45 – 2/29/12
Chris Whitten
The 60’s brought us the one of the original “boy bands”, The Monkees. Davy Jones was a pinup star in my sister’s room, and I am sure he was covering plenty of other walls all around the world. His boyish looks and his quirky cuteness made him a TV and pop star. The Monkees were the biggest thing on TV at the time, and Davy Jones was on top of it all. You may even…
Album Review: “Queen of the Wave,” Pepe Deluxé
Drew MorganLet me tell you – this album is bizarre. REALLY bizarre. it’s a pop-opera based on a crazy novel about Atlantis from the late 1800s, with a style that mixes up hundreds of musical sub-genres in each song. Each individual element seems too far-fetched to enjoy, but when combined something wonderful and twisted is created. Speaking of the combined pieces, Pepe Deluxé describe themselves as “an inter-continental orchestra,” but the two “conductors” of this orchestra are…
