The pop-hooks of “Diane Young” (get it?) and the slow hip-hop vibe of “Steps” make Vampire Weekend’s forthcoming Modern Vampires of the City (May 7) a must purchase for long time fans of the band, and those hearing them for the first time.

Rise in Music Sales

I’m giddy about it, others are giddy about it, you should be giddy about it even at this small percentage. Let’s all boost it a little more especially on Record Store Day.

So, ‘bout that Loveless follow up that My Bloody Valentine has been promising since…well, forever. Apparently our wait is almost up. (via My Bloody Valentine to Release a New Album in “Two or Three Days” | Under The Radar)

Excellent, excellent, news.

McCartney Steps into Cobain's Shoes

Wed, 12 Dec 2012 13:04:02 -0500

Dave Grohl announced that for the Nirvana reunion, Sir Paul McCartney will step in for deceased frontman Kurt Cobain and will debut a new song along with Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear.

The reunion is taking place at the 12.12.12 concert for victims of Superstorm Sandy at Madison Square Garden.

Not intending to take away from the reason for this concert, I am using the hastag #mccartneycobain on Twitter where I am posting other musicians that would make suitable (maybe more sensible) stand-ins for Cobain.

To donate to victims of Superstorm Sandy go here.

How do you feel about McCartney subbing for Cobain?

“I think there’s going to be a big resurgence of people hearing music live. As people become more isolated in front of their screens, they’ll look for more excuses to get together. Music’s a good excuse for that.”

- David Byrne is bullish on live music. (via newsweek)
