The word “meadow” connotes a certain level of peaceful natural stasis. A meadow is a place to relax, to watch butterflies and let sun rays hit you. But it would appear that there’s nothing static about Meadow, a Bay Area band with a huge and fuzzily angular guitar sound. Before they get around to releasing their full-length debut, they’ve become …

Between Tool, A Perfect Circle, and Puscifer, Maynard James Keenan juggles many musical commitments, but his entrepreneurial endeavors might keep him even busier. The man blessed with one of the world’s most powerful angelic/demonic howls is also a gastronome extraordinaire. For years, Keenan has been running a winery in his adopted home of Arizona’s Verde Valley. Two years ago he …

One of the best music documentaries in recent history is Oasis: Supersonic, a dizzy and euphoric chronicle of Oasis’ rise from wayward Manchester youth to the highest heights of global rock stardom. It ended with the band’s insanely huge 1996 shows at Knebworth and with the band members conceding that they should’ve just ended things there. Instead, Oasis ended things …

Detroit indie rock fave Stef Chura is returning from a seven-year absence this fall with new album Dancing Alone On The Concrete. She made it in Athens, Georgia with Robert Schneider and his Elephant 6 associates, and half of R.E.M. played on the twangy, jangly lead single “Danny.” The same can’t be said about Chura’s two new tracks out today, …

They say Brooklyn is the place where stars are born. Biggie Smalls. Michael Jordan. Some of the best to ever do it have roots in “The Borough”. And while every… The post SOURCE SPORTS: JK Select Baseball Tryouts Bring Some Of NYC’s Top Prospects To Coney Island’s Maimonides Park appeared first on .

We’re just a few days away from the release of Julia Holter’s next album. On Friday, the gauzy, expansive singer and composer will share her new LP Materia, and we’ve already posted her tracks “The Laugh Is In The Eyes,” “Fantasy,” and “My Lost One.” To tide us over until the full-length arrives, Holter shares one more track today, and …

If you’re unfamiliar with God’s Hate, the gloriously violent chug-mosh heavy hardcore band from California’s San Fernando Valley, the main thing you need to know is that their singer is a big fucking wrestler.
