While we’re here and on the topic of J Mascis, I would like to let you all know how much Guitar Hero actually enrages me. Is nothing sacred any more? So many reputable bands and artists have succumbed to the game, handing over their tracks (and their dignity) for a cash prize. Which I’m sure [...]
It cannot be contested that J Mascis is a legend. He’s a very proactive guy too. In 2005 he put together and released the album J + Friends Sing + Chant For Amma which was a collection of tracks inspired by Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi (otherwise known as Amma) - A humanitarian with a healing [...]

Here’s James Allan, frontman of Glasvegas playing a remarkable acoustic version of their single Geraldine, propped up in a stairwell, looking cool.
I’m not sure why the shades were needed though, it’s dark outside.
Glasvegas American tour dates after the jump
A Whisper in the Noise have been busy since the release of Dry Land with their new German label Exile on Mainstream. But since their recent European tour and scattered dates around the US. But, as it turns out, West Thordson and co. are hard at work on a new album. In a post yesterday [...]

New York’s Other Music, a great record store and online store, has posted a video of a recent in store performance of Conor Oberst & The Mystic Valley Band.
