  • Download For The Day: Machina 2 by The Smashing Pumpkins and much more

    Some of you might recall this little release from the Pumpkins back in 2000, considered by most to be their last album.  It was called Machina 2: The Friends And Enemies Of Modern Music, and it was distributed to a small number of fans and expected that they keep distributing it, rather than releasing it…

  • Happy 61st Birthday Bob

    In celebration of Bob Marley’s birthday – he would have been 61 on today , February 6th – I’m going to throw out a few personal favorites of Bob that I could find. If you all aren’t doing anything this evening, I recommend you kick back with a Red Stripe, throw on a favorite Marley…

  • moe. does Illinois; and Summer Camp Artist Update

    Well I managed to make it to both moe.’s Urbana Champaign show and their Chicago show, both of which were a blast. I’ve got some setlists for you as well as some of the torrents. Unfortunately the Urbana show isn’t available for download yet, but I have a feeling it’s because the guy I saw…

  • Links – Sufjan Stevens, moe.

    First, go to Take Your Medicine and download his first ever podcast. It features charming British accents, good music, and an excusable mispronunciation of Sufjan Stevens. Why is it excusable?

  • “Ted Pants, Are Falling Apart The Twelfth Time”

    Kudos to Bethanne of Clever Titles Are So Last Summer for one of the better music blog names out there and a sweet video find.  This is one teenager‘s take on Fallout Boy’s “Dance Dance,” though I must say, the vocabulary skills indicate that this kid is reading at a college level.  Check it out…

    Intonation and Lollapalooza to return to Chicago, from the Tribune.

  • Links – Walmart, Aimee Mann, John Cale, Alejandro Escoveda

    Here’s an idea…. Don’t hand out business cards for your drug business. God I think even the amateur 12-year old dealer’s know this. This guy must have broken the second rule: “Don’t get high off your own supply.” Aimee Mann on Conan O’Brien on February 9th WalMart entering the music label business? I’m sure glad…
