Mad at Tebow for dominating college football? Then maybe you should screw Florida State by stealing Weezer from them. In what has seemingly become a new trend in marketing, Weezer is asking fans to vote via Facebook application to help them decide which college they should play at for free. If it worked for “Paranormal Activity“… And as it’s alluded to in the opening line, Florida State is currently in the lead with more than 10,000 votes, half of which were done by... Read Full Story

David Gray: Making it acceptable for anyone to engage in PDA whenever his music is played The Wang Theatre in Boston is an impressive place, with its vast lobby and impossibly high orchestra sections (there are three people). It has staged plays, musicals, opera singers and probably a few world-famous drunken rock stars. All of this makes the appearance of Lisa Hannigan all the more magical. We wrote about her this past February on the strength of her song “Lillie” and the accompa... Read Full Story

I’ve been listening to an album this weekend and I know it doesn’t do the musicians who are on it justice. This is usually the case with a recording of a live performance, but there’s something different with this album. For one thing, the entire thing is free. The album comes from a documentary by Bob Moczydlowsky, which features 72 musicians either performing or talking about life on the road. While I haven’t seen the film yet (it’s at some festivals at the mo... Read Full Story

We were on our way to play our first show in Brooklyn, NY. Not knowing where the exact location of the venue was a bit of a problem, but thankfully with the power of modern technology…we found our way! Once we got to the venue, we set everything up, and waiting till we got called to the stage. At the time that the first performer went on, the place was pretty much empty. But, as we went on..the place started filling up. We all took a quick breath and debuted our new song in front of ev... Read Full Story

Tonight’s show is an interesting mix of discomfort and excitement. We are supporting a band, whose audience is unlikely to have heard of us, and maybe they just won’t care; but it’s in our home town, which means dotted through the crowd of strangers are friends and family who know how we sound, how we act, and whether or not we’re faking it. So if we’re about to go down with the ship, people we know and love are going to witness it. Turning up early for sound check people are already lined u... Read Full Story

First, I like how the guy is grabbing his crotch in this picture. Special Patrol came into my life randomly through the email with the song “Right On.” With the childlike opening chorus and the rolling lyrics that follow, the song had me replying back furiously for more information on this band. Since then, the group’s music has done nothing but grown on me. I’m told the song is off their third album, titled “A Stranger’s Dozen,” and has been gaining... Read Full Story
