I’d eat some serious crow, but I’d also totally fucking go if this were to happen. According to the Daily Swarm, legendary shoegaze pioneers My Bloody Valentine is in negotiations to headline next year’s Coachella festival. Not only that but a possible tour is also on the table.

And now Idolator has received a tip that during […]

Achtung, babes. All is definitely nicht gut with former Ash Ra Tempel guitarist Manuel Göttsching. After catching the .jpg-only cover of LCD Soundsystem’s sole-selling Nike commission 45:33 – which really does look a heckuva lot like the godfather of techno’s 1984 meisterwerk E2-E4 – Göttsching’s camp had this to say: “LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy has […]

It sure as shit isn’t music, obviously. And to celebrate (?) MTV is posting ominous yet brightly colored posters throughout its office hallways, asking the question: “What does the “M” stand for?” There is a meeting Monday morning for employees to find out, but in the meantime people have been defacing the posters with their best educated guesses. My […]
