I haven’t heard from Eux Autres in a little while, but all that changed the other day when I got a 7″ in the mail from them. I didn’t know they had anything a’brewing, but “You’re Alright” is a nice little single that fits in well with their breezy pop. MP3: Eux Autres – You’re [...]

Holy Fuck will be playing Sled Island, which takes place June 24-27 Remember all those times I ran contests and it was open to US residents only? I always felt so bad for having to impose that restriction. Based on the one Canadian I know well, you guys are a great bunch of people. And [...]

Trent Reznor must have a big heart, because he’s donating a bunch of NIN backstage passes to help make sure a friend’s heart keeps on working. Eric De La Cruz needs a heart transplant, but can’t get on the list because he’s on Nevada Medicaid and there are no transplant centers in Nevada. Trent whipped [...]

Will Cullen Hart and Bill Doss came together to play some Olivia Tremor Control songs in 2008 Well, hey… didn’t see this coming. While doing an interview in support of the Circulatory System’s new album Signal Morning, Will Cullen Hart dropped a bomb about that other groundbreaking band he was a part of. “We’ve got [...]
