Matthew Good is in town for a two-night stint at the Jack Singer Concert Hall, smack-dab in the middle of his cross-Canada tour in support his latest album, Lights of Endangered Species.

I’m sure by now you’ve heard of the latest internet meme, “First World Problems”. If not, it’s basically a collection of trivial complaints like “My parking spot is too far from the door” or “I’m bored of all the food from the restaurants close to my work” or “My smartphone changes “lol” to “LOL” making [...]

Written by: Andy Stewart To say that the follow up to 2009’s West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum album has expectations on it is an understatement. Kasabian‘s last effort garnered them a two week stay at #1 on the UK Charts, a short-listing for the 2009 Mercury awards, ‘Best Album’ from the Q awards and ‘Best [...]

Written by: Chris Andrade Fuck that, this could easily be Video of the Year! Last night on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Roger Waters was the musical guest, there to perform “In the Flesh” from the seminal album the Wall. Here’s the thing though; his backing band was Foo Fighters. Is there nothing these guys [...]
Written by: Chris Andrade Phantogram are a new discovery for me. Stumbling upon them this week after OtD contributor Show informed me of some hilarious comments to their YouTube video. There is something entrancing about both this video and this song. Part of the Barsuk Records family (which includes OtD favs Ra Ra Riot), the [...]

This isn’t like any other Video of the Day, this is 53 minutes of Mastodon‘s new album, the Hunter, in it’s entirety. A full week ahead of it’s release! Now, online streaming the week before a new album’s release isn’t new, it’s pretty much the norm these days. However, Mastodon have kicked it up a [...]
Following the cast of Community on twitter has paid off for me today. Danny Pudi (who plays Abed on the show) posted a tweet and a photo that he was “Bumpin to Childish Gambino‘s “Bonfire””. Now, if you don’t know, Childish Gambino is also known as Community cast member Donald Glover, (who plays Troy). Glover [...]
Oddly enough, I had this song stuck in my head last week. Today, in an interview with the Quietus, Peter Gabriel reveals that he originally asked Dolly Parton to duet with him on the 1986 single. “There’s an interesting story about this song.

That said, it should come as no surprise that his latest offering, The Less You Know, The Better, arrived 5 years after his last album. The extended breaks between albums isn’t [...]
