Found these over at I Am Fuel, Your Are Friends. Dave Grohl’s raw demo drum tracks for Queens of the Stone Age’s Songs for the Deaf. Even if you’re not a fan of QOTSA’s psychedelic glam metal, it’s hard not to appreciate Grohl’s masterful balance of swing and unbridled aggression. He is a bad ass […]

Dave Grohl’s raw drum tracks for QOTSA

Sanka Venti – with a double shot of sell-out – for Joni Mitchell
August 27th, 2007
We’ve all said stuff at times that we didn’t really mean (e.g. “I’ll never drink that much again,” “That new Rihanna jam is twee as fuck,” “Sure honey, I’d love to have breakfast at Denny’s with your parents on my only day off,” “What’s so bad about Sum 41?”), but I guess I just hold […]
Mark Ronson’s Dylan – blonde on bland
August 26th, 2007

Robert Wyatt’s got (bi-lingual) jokes
August 22nd, 2007
Tired of Wyatting? Drag City’s prison bitch Domino Recording Company is scheduled to release the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Comicopera – his first solo effort since 2003’s Cuckooland – as early as the 24th of next month. Regarding the weird-even-for-him title, Wyatt had this to say: “Greeks divided things into Comedy and Tragedy, and Comedy didn’t […]
Spike Jonze interviews M.I.A.
August 21st, 2007
Spike Jonze interviews M.I.A. for Vice TV in the first bit of a 6-part series. It’s a very laid-back piece in which they ride around in a car, discussing trivialities like how M.I.A.’s hairdresser, Shemkee, cut her hair while on Ketamine. Jonze and M.I.A. are obviously friends and comfortable around each other, and, despite Jonze’s […]
