16 hours ago ago from Pop Tarts Suck Toasted
In recent years the crowd that is claiming "the album is dead" has grown louder and louder. We couldn't disagree more. As more and more people turn to iTunes and the Hype Machine to download the latest and greatest singles, we have stuck to the traditional album listening and found that there are still some truly great records being made these days. For most of this year we have been inundated by bands breaking into the world, mainstream ...

By 2005 or 2006, just about the only connection that I had to music was Ralph. Ralph and Diane had moved back to New Jersey, relocating to Trenton, and that was an unbelievable bright spot for me. At first, it was great just to see him and know he was nearby. Every year he and Diane would come to our Labor Day party, drink a few beers, eat a burger, and we'd catch up for an hour or two. Once or twice we went to a Nets basketball game ...

It was tough to narrow down the list, but here are the 20 releases by Houston musicians that I enjoyed most during ...

Once again, music blog colorama turned us onto a new band that we've taken a liken to. They're called Band of Skulls and you've gotta check them out. Our favorite part: they're from the UK but sound like an American rock band. The three members of Band of Skulls first met at college and quickly discovered that having two lead singers and three songwriters in a band was always going to present unlimited possibilities.

Alberta Cross Get Futuristic With 'Augmented Reality' Album Art
7 hours ago ago from Spinner
In the iTunes age, the importance of album artwork has basically been relegated to the obsessive fans and CD purists. Any feature of a physical copy certainly won't be the focal point of a band's marketing push -- unless, of course, the album's booklet includes never-before-used technology, like the debut full-length of bluesy rockers Alberta Cross. Released in September on ATO Records, 'Broken Side of Time' uses "augmented reality" ...
