Pearl Jam

Can we get Sirus for minute? It's time to give these six artists their own channel already!

Moving Pictures: A first look at 20XIII's "Vigilante"

Just screened 20XIII's new video for the song "Vigilante." Not much in the way of subtlety here. The title of the track pretty much gives away the plot, which is a quite literal depiction of the lyrics for the song, itself straight out of the mid '90s modern rock canon, recalling kindred groups fr ...

An Avalanche of old tunes

On Sunday night we had the chance to watch the Colorado Avalanche get pummeled by the visiting New York Rangers. While we should have been paying more attention to the game, we couldn't help our ears being caught in familiar sounds. The music selections -- and there were many -- were just awful. Co ... More >>
