Jazzy & The Pussycats

As Pitchfork notes, "It happened to the Smashing Pumpkins. And Sonic Youth. Not to mention Metallica, Radiohead, R.E.M., 50 Cent, Tom Jones, and yes, even Baha Men. And now it will happen to everyone's favorite yappin', yollerin', doorbell-thinkin' divorcee duo the White Stripes: Simpson-ization."

Videos! Yeah!

Aahh, remember music videos? Remember when MTV played them, and they used to be a wonderful blend of camp and coolness? There is a new trend toward beautiful, cinematic music videos being made by a combination of innovative musicians and creative producers. And chances are, you won't be able to find them anywhere on TEEVEE. M3 Online has collected the 65 best videos of the year, and it is a wonderful collection that is available for download.

"A Masterpiece"

At least that's what Drive By Truckers' Patterson Hood has to say in his official biography of the soon-to-be-released Centro-matic album, "Fort Recovery"
I've had the pleasure to see Centro-matic 4 times at various venues including the hi-Pointe and Off Broadway, and it's always a whiskey-soaked affair. They are an incredible live band, and I am extremely hot for this record.
