13 What to Download: New Music This Week
Check your watch: it's time to rock out! Today's new Tuesday music releases are all about rock bands, including a longtime staple, an indie one-of-a-kind, and a lead singer gone solo. Check out the albums and tracks I've deemed worth the download, and if these aren't your cup of tea, there's also new music from Chromeo and The Walkmen. Weezer, Hurley The lowdown: Rivers Cuomo and the boys find a Read more
Ready for a new exciting season of entertainment? I've got you up to speed on the Fall movies to look forward to (see parts one and two here), and now I want to focus on music. There's a ton of great new albums coming your way in the next few months, so I've gone through them to tell you which ones I'm looking forward to most! Read more
Quirky indie outfit of Montreal has a new album coming out this September, False Priest, and today you can have a taste of it with the track "Hydra Fancies." The band's sound tends toward the fanciful, which "Hydra Fancies" definitely is, but it also has a pleasantly upbeat tone, with lead singer Kevin Barnes crooning about "you, my new favorite thing" atop electronic beats and squeals. To me, Read more
Is the "post-Seinfeld slump" finally ending? — TV.com Atlas Shrugged getting a screen adaptation: shrug? — Popwatch An interview with Mad Men's Harry Crane (Rich Sommer). — Televisionary Are this year's movie characters — or at least their names — unusually unmemorable? — Cinematical Here's a new Of Montreal video. — Stereogum Five reality TV mashups worth creating. — Read more
Tuesdays are big in entertainmentville: Not only do all the new DVD releases hit Netflix, but new music also pours into stores, including iTunes. So I take a spin through each week's iTunes music releases and pick out some albums and tracks worthy of a download. Here's what's on my list this week: When the album cover looks as good as the band sounds: Rolling Stone called Of Montreal's new album Read more
Cinematical compares the two new Leatherheads posters: romance or sports? Popwatch proudly talks about applauding along with the rest of the audience at the end of Rambo. SFist has a photo of Sean Penn as Harvey Milk and other photos from the set. TV Squad ranks TV judges — think Wapner and Judy, not Simon and Paula — through the ages. Stereogum has a video of KT Tunstall covering The Read more
I don't usually have children's music on my radar, seeing as how I don't have kids. But with LilSugar launching this week, I just had to share my recent discovery of a kids' CD that's so awesome, I might buy it and stash it away until I've got little ones of my own. Released by the cutting-edge Nettwerk Records label, For the Kids III is the third in a series of compilation CDs featuring Read more
At first glance, Of Montreal doesn't look like the kind of band that would cover Neil Young. (As Exhibit A, I present the above photo of Kevin Barnes and company performing at the 2007 Pitchfork Music Festival.) But I've just found a recording of the psychedelic pop-rockers performing "Harvest Moon," off of Young's album of the same name, and it's really quite lovely. Of Montreal's Hissing Read more
I've been crushing on Paul Rudd ever since Clueless. I mean, he's cute, he's funny, he can act, and — as I learned today — he can also rock some serious karaoke. On Friday night, Of Montreal played a show at Studio B in Brooklyn, and the band took a break for a bit of hipster karaoke. Rudd was there, and he and David Wain (Wet Hot American Summer, "The State") treated the crowd to a Read more
The Cure's Robert Smith collaborating with Ashlee Simpson? Weird. Do you like "Dog the Bounty Hunter"? If so, tell me why, and while you're at it, vote for your favorite FX show. If you love good movies, go see The Hoax or Grindhouse this weekend. If you crave crappy editing and boredom, go see The Reaping. Do you have the sass to recast "Designing Women" with modern-day actors? Plush bears, Read more
