What Are the Best Indie Rock Albums Ever?
Half the time, we music fans can't even decide what indie rock is — so naturally, Blender magazine's list of the 100 greatest indie rock albums of all time is bound to be fodder for debate (starting with No. 1, Pavement's Slanted and Enchanted). So I'm tempted to put it to you guys sans commentary and just say, "Have at it!"
How Do You Feel About a Mass-Market Indie CD?
Here's a little something to chew on as you roll into the weekend: A Now-style compilation CD of indie tunes is hitting stores this month. The track list includes songs from Sonic Youth, Neko Case, Deerhoof, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, The Hold Steady and others.
A couple things about this strike me as funny.
Other Music Is Going Digital
If you've never visited the Other Music store or its extensive e-commerce site, you are really missing out. The Manhattan retailer specializes in underground, indie, and other rare tunes, as well as awesome in-store performances by legendary acts. So I was really psyched to read that later this month, Other Music is launching a digital download store; for now, you can visit the site to get email updates on its progress.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt — Love Him or Leave Him?
Ever since 500 Days of Summer, I haven't been able to get Joseph Gordon-Levitt off my brain. (And yesterday's trailer for Women in Trouble doesn't help!) It's not like I didn't pay attention to him before — I loved 10 Things I Hate About You — but my adoration for this guy is ballooning faster than his career.
Gordon-Levitt has loads of projects coming down the pipeline: his upcoming film Uncertainty just got picked up, and he has Inception with Leonardo DiCaprio and Hesher with Natalie Portman both slated for release next year.
