What can we say about the Dead Weather that you don't already know? That they really really could have done better on the video for "Blue Blood Blues?" That Jack White covering "Creep" with Conan O'Brien was stranger than fiction? That Alison Mosshart has a way of turning us into......

Spacehog's first hit single is almost as old as Justin Bieber, and we point that out not just for the novelty of having "Spacehog" and "Justin Bieber" in the same sentence but because, like the glam-rock veterans, young Mr. Bieber is playing a little show in Los Angeles tonight as......

For a band with four singers at least that many solo projects, the New Pornographers' fifth album Together sounds pretty ... well, together.

Boy, girl. Boy, girl. Boy, girl. It's a bill made for date night on Sunday at the Hollywood Bowl as some of music's favorite collaborative couples team up to provide a soundtrack for your wine and cheese. Of course, the Swell Season -- Glen Hansard of Irish rockers band the......

We suppose it would be fashionable, this being a blog after all and an alternative publication's one at that, to play music snob and put Kings of Leon in the crosshairs this morning. But why, really? Somebody you know will be fighting traffic and crowds to hit the Hollywood Bowl......

Yes, that's the voice of Julieta Venegas on the re-imagined "Mientes," one of the five tracks on El Guincho's new EP Piratas de Sudamérica. El Guincho, the nom de tune of Barcelona experimentalist Pablo Díaz-Reixa, fueled some underground buzz with his 2007 album Alegranza. A principal in the Spanish band......

The title track to Admiral Radley's debut album is a paean to the Golden State as only Jason Lytle could pen it. "I Heart California" -- the first song from the project featuring Lytle and his old Grandaddy bandmate Aaron Burtch and Earlimart principals Aaron Espinoza and Ariana Murray --......
