Home to various and sundry 1980’s underground giants, I.R.S. Records has finally caught up with the present, placing a large selection of its catalog on iTunes for the very first time.

Interpol commences writing fourth record
March 7th, 2009
Interpol just published a letter to fans “Cherished Interpudlians” to announce work on its fourth record has commenced, at least the writing stage that is, which is a perfectly justifiable excuse to post this video of the best song off Our Love to Admire, “Pace Is the Trick.” The band succinctly describes the state of […]
Michael Jackson press conference as creepy as you’d expect
March 5th, 2009
So, I guess the rumors of Michael Jackson’s imminent demise were greatly exaggerated, as the King of Jesus Juice practically strutted out to take the podium to announce his July residency at London’s O2 Arena.

Lone hold-out Eric Avery had long said he had no interest in pursuing the past, but I guess he caved […]
