Before even discussing this album, you have to give New York based indie powerhouse Matador Records some serious credit for choosing an ingenious method for unveiling their newest team player, Jay Lindsey (aka Jay Reatard.)  Z Rock on Independent Film ChannelBy

I always find myself somewhat conflicted when it comes to those reality shows known as “semi-scripted.” I think in most cases (”The Two Coreys,” “Hogan Knows Best,” etc.) they tend to fall flat. Where in other cases there seems to be perfect balance and the show comes off as quite entertaining (Gene Simmons’s “Family Jewels,” [...]  Dancin’ to Vampire WeekendBy

Rachel Burke
Did you ever notice how some contestants who win American Idol seem to fall off the face of the planet after the season is over? Then there are other Idol winners who become huge successes. Ever wonder why this happens? There’s no doubt about it, Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson are not only beautiful [...] Kids Music You Can Live WithBy

Are you a mom who’s looking to broaden your child’s music catalog with something other than Barney’s latest? Maybe you’ve had your fill of listening to Dora The Explorer and Baby Genius compilation CD’s in the car. Is one more version of “Head, Shoulders, Knees, & Toes” going to send you running? There is children’s [...] Rockers Unite for Road Recovery Program’s AnniversaryBy

I’m a sucker for a good piano bar, a good piano bar with alcohol. This past week I hit one as a member of an English teacher’s convention; the other large group was a raft of Coast Guard inductees. This made for pretty much the terrifyingly surreal audience you’d expect– after a few [...] Songs About Dad (pt. 2)By

It’s June again, which means it’s time to celebrate all things Dad. I’ve been blessed with not only being raised by a wonderful father myself, but also marrying a man who as it turns is a better father to my children than I could’ve ever hoped for. In honor of them and fathers everywhere, [...] The Best Breakup Songs from a Girl’s ViewpointBy
Nancy Lichtenstein
A friend of mine from Iceland is going crazy because her upstairs neighbor just broke up with his girlfriend and is playing “My Heart Will Go On” by Celine Dion over and over again until she’s ready to commit a felony, so a few of us put our heads together and tried to come up [...] Songs About Dad (pt. 1)By

I thought I’d wish all of the Dads out there a Happy Father’s Day the best way I know how: With a list of rock and roll songs, naturally. Off the top of my head, here are some examples of how the father/child relationship, whether it be positive or strained, can inspire some [...]  …but can she sing (pt. 2)By

On Thursday I posted a review of Scarlett Johansson’s debut album. However, ScarJo wasn’t the only acting starlet to recently drop her first recording. Zooey Deschanel and indie folkster M. Ward joined forces as a duo called She & Him to release Volume One last month.  The Beatles and a BoxBy
