An Open Call to Musicians: Come Work for Me!
I’ve decided to offer up some real help to the artist community. I work for an advertising agency as a Producer, creating video content for relatively large clients. But before I did this, I was a full time touring musician. I know how hard it can be to pull in steady income while on the road. So I’m here, offering freelance work. If you have any interest in working on set, in any...

Check out the new video for Holy Ghost’s remix of “Drunk Girls” by LCD Soundsystem, courtesy of Adult Swim. Love love love this remix, and the video ain’t bad either if you dig jousting and semi-steampunk imagery.

Pay to Play and Why It's Bullshit
Recently a friend brought this article from the Phoenix New Times to my attention. The article concerns the ruminations of a local Phoenix music message board, and the concept of Pay to Play. If you’re unfamiliar, Pay to Play is one of the more prevalent and shitty ways in which bands get screwed and promoters suck the quality out of a music scene. It works like this, Venue X is throwing a...

No Posts Today!
I’m traveling around the Midwest for work, with limited Internet access so unfortunately I’m postponing Music Monday. I’ll make it up to you all later this week. For now, let’s just hope these tornado warnings in Kansas City are called off. I’m not really a fan of Tornado Flying.

Listen to How to Destroy Angels
Pitchfork has posted the first track from How to Destroy Angels,  the new project from Trent Reznor and wife. The track is 7 throbbing minutes of tension and darkness. Pretty awesome. LISTEN HERE.

Music Monday: OCELOT "Beating Hearts"
This is the new single from Ocelot. I can’t write anything here that the music won’t be able to say better. Listen to the original, then have a few drinks and let the Louis La Roche remix explode your brain. Enjoy the party!

Last week I posted the new video for “Miracles” by Insane Clown Posse, which proved to be nothing short of an awesome train wreck of hilarious proportions. For those of you that still watch Saturday Night Live (seriously, it’s still pretty funny!), you caught last night’s parody of the “Miracles” video. For the rest of you, you can thank me for not letting this...

Jonsi: Behind the Scenes Videos
My love for Jonsi is no secret. I’ve been championing him ever since the first tracks from his impending solo album made their way onto the net. To add to my fanboy lameness, I clamored to get tickets for his NYC show on May 8th and in a lapse of judgement, purchased four tickets before asking any friends if they wanted to go. The result was my brother also purchasing four tickets, and...

OK GO Does It Again!
Another phenomenal video from OK GO for their new single, “This Too Shall Pass.” Thanks to State Farm for picking up the slack for those dipshits over at EMI, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to post this. Why wouldn’t they want this video to be embeddable?

The Best Way to Share Your Music on Twitter
So there’s a handful of services out there that let you tweet about music; Twt.fm, Songtwit, Song.ly, etc. However, after some thorough testing, it’s become clear that for musicians, Twiturm is the way to go. Here’s the deal: 1) Log into Twiturm with your Twitter info to create your account. 2) Upload your track and include a brief message. 3) Tweet that shit out! The...

Walter Schreifels - Arthur Lee's Lullaby
“Arthur Lee’s Lullaby” is the first single from the new Walter Schreifels album, An Open Letter to the Scene. While I’m no stranger Walter’s past works, none ever sounded as barebones and nerdy as this. I mean nerdy in a good way, like in a Ben Folds-with-an-acoustic-guitar kind of way. Or maybe like a Blake Schwarzenbach-playing-Jets-to-Brazil-songs-unplugged kind...

Delay in Game!
I spent this past weekend hanging out and playing shows with House of Fools, who are some of the very best dudes around and an incredible band. Since I was traveling all weekend, I’ve got to delay my weekly Music Monday while I catch up on everything. This means more music posts, more mp3s, and more music industry tips and commentary. Thanks for your patience! (Oh yeah and that pic up...

Product Review: LiveMusicMachine
LiveMusicMachine touts itself as the future of booking; yet another widgified concept, aimed at assisting artists. The concept is simple, LiveMusicMachine creates an embeddable widget based on your band’s specific requirements, and allows anyone to make a booking offer. When the transaction is completed, LiveMusicMachine takes $10 from you and $10 from the promoter. However, I’m left...

A Few Words About The Oscars
The Oscars are one of the few awards programs I actually look forward to. They regularly honor films that I actually think deserve it. Sure there’s politics involved, but it’s in no way as embarrassing as some fraud program like The Grammys. So let’s look at the highlights real quick: Avatar is up for 9 major awards, as predicted. And why shouldn’t it be? Sure the plot...

Shortly after my post about the previously unreleased Minor Threat track, “You Betrayed Me By Growing Up,” which made its way online earlier this year via More Than A Witness, I decided to contact Ian MacKaye for comment. Here’s an excerpt from what Ian had to say: “The reason you and others are having such a difficult time finding any information about the song is that...
