Oh, Bob Dylan. I appreciate that you’re still, um, “singing,” but, really… I think it may be time to, well, retire. Your new Christmas song, “Must Be Santa,” is kind of–how shall I say this–God-fucking-awful. It kind of makes me want to die. Just a little bit. On the inside. Happy Holidays, though, man. You’re [...]
Bacon, celluloid superiority, Putin, Christmas cheer and one, crushing, crushing disappointment–after the jump.
Pitchfork reports this morning that Grizz and Co. got in a bus accident on Thursday night in Germany. They’re all copacetic, through, so please stop crying you sensitive children, you. It seems as though it was an honest-to-goodness accident, but, still–I suspect some foul play. There were tons of BK bands in that NY Mag [...]
You know how Beyone’s lil sis put out a cover of The Dirty Projectors’ “Stillness Is The Move” just yesterday? Well, the Grizzly Bear fan is totally pissed today, because guess what–Universal Music requested that she take the tune off the Internets. The Dirty Projectors loved the cover and Knowles says shes not trying to [...]
Hey readers, before you stagger out into the darkness to feed on overpriced drinks and loose women, I would suggest taking a peek at this very special PSA, titled What Does a Stranger Look Like? My favorite definition comes from the child with the curly hair, who asserts: “I think a stranger is a punk [...]
Always wanted to see Lambchop live, but never managed to make it to Europe? Well, Merge Records has got you covered. To help celebrate Merge’s 20th anniversary, the band showed up and played a kick-ass show, which was captured on film for your viewing pleasure. And come November 17th, you’ll be able to nab the [...]
Wedding rings, butter, mayo and the end of the world (all related things)–after the jump.
We’re nothing if not classy over here at D+T. Prompted by the revelation that the song “Sweat A La Long” by Inner Circle had some dirtier-than-usual undertones, two staffers decided to come up with the penultimate list of tunes that may or may not be (but so totally are) about, um, that. Jump to listen.
Look guys, this probably tastes delicious.
What could this mean??? The link leads here.
Everyone knows that the leader singer gets the most girls, followed by the drummer, followed by the keyboard player–it looks like Rilo Kiley’s Jason Boesel is moving up in the world of women. And music, too, I guess. For 15 years, Boesel pounded away at the skins, until he wrote his first song, “Hustler’s Song,” [...]
Get pumped to mellow out. A Chorus of Storytellers, the newest record from ambient project The Album Leaf, will be dropping on February 2, 2010. The disc marks the first time that the whole band got together to record–previously, songwriter Jimmy LaValle tackled all the instrumental parts. Check out tour dates after the jump.
By Braden Rosner Man, this album is bumming me out. Yes, The Wooden Sky is an awesome band. No, their sophomore effort pitifully titled If I don’t come home you’ll know I’m gone, is not going to leave you feeling good about yourself. Pop an Xanax and find out more after the jump.
Free music, terrible tats, Solange getting dirty, awesome outerwear and Jason Schwartzman–after the jump.
So apparently Andrew Bird is going against his avian last name by covering Kermit the Frog’s “It’s Not Easy Being Green” for the hotly anticipated album Muppets Revisited. I dunno, Bird’s good and all, but I always thought that John Hiatt should take a crack at the puppet’s musical oeuvre. I mean, they already have [...]
The Champion takes on The Hot Girl after the jump. Make sure to weigh in on who you think is the winner.
OK guys, start dusting off your resumes. Miraculously there are still jobs out there in the world–for former stoners, no less. But lest you think the position is all about smoking up rather than buckling down, you need a Master’s to snag this job. Check out the full description after the jump, and let us [...]
Slacker kids, howling at Hot Topic, more TV to waste your time on, free music and the most annoying face in the world after the jump.
Enya played a big role in my childhood. Mostly because it seemed as though my mother only had three tapes, which she played on repeat: a tape of shrill, keening Irish music, some album that featured the musical stylings of singing bowls and didgeridoos and Enya’s Watermark. Therefore, by process of most horrible elimination, Enya [...]
In a true show of “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em,” Them Crooked Vultures have decided to stream their entire self-titled, yet-to-be-released album on YouTube after it was leaked onto the Internet. Check it out here or wait until November 17th and buy it like a law-abiding citizen.
