Love It or Leave It: TV on the Radio Covering Bowie's "Heroes"

Normally, I'm nowhere near as fond of a cover as I am of the original song (few people are, I'd wager). Usually they just sound like cheap knockoffs. So I expected little of TV on the Radio's cover of David Bowie's "Heroes," and maybe that's partially why I liked it so much. It's different from Bowie's but familiar enough to not destroy the memory of the original. Also, I'm intrigued by the fact Read more

Scarlett Johansson's Album Might Actually Be Good

When I first heard that Scarlett Johansson was recording an album of Tom Waits covers, I didn't quite know what to think. Sure, she proved she could sing when she joined Jesus and Mary Chain onstage at Coachella, but Waits's music seemed like an odd — and challenging — choice for the actress. Now, Pitchfork has revealed some new details about the album, and it actually sounds quite Read more

Adult Swim Gives Away Free, Awesome Music

I still associate Adult Swim more with off-color, late-night cartoons than with indie rock. That may change, however, if Warm & Scratchy is any indication. The free, downloadable album is stocked full of new, rare or exclusive tracks from The Good, The Bad and the Queen, TV on the Radio, Les Savy Fav, Broken Social Scene and 10 other awesome bands. I'm not sure if this is a promotion for a Read more

Thankfully, I managed to scour enough of the year's music to bring you BuzzSugar's Top 20 Albums of Read more
