Random 10 for October 29, 2008
October 29, 2008
1. Chris Cornell, “Ground Zero.” You know how it is: you download out of unquenchable curiosity, then the horror begins – the garbage just keeps jumping out at you like it’s being propelled out of a trash cannon. This is from Cornell’s upcoming disc with Timbaland, which is turning out to be... Read More

Wayne and the Lips Stay Happy At Warners
October 29, 2008
Few musicians are in love with their labels these days, but Wayne Coyne is sounding contented with Warner Bros. The Lips will fulfill their WB contract with their next disc, but Wayne is not looking to jump ship — he sounds like he’s tied himself to the mast.

1. New Young Pony Club, “Ice Cream.” Once you get over the initial embarrassment, New Young Pony Club plays like the happy counter-argument to Ladytron.
2. Bauhaus, “Endless Summer of the Damned.”
3. The Shaky Hands, “Why and How Come?”
4. Lindsey Buckingham, “Love Runs Deeper.”
5.... Read More
Video of the Day: Matt & Kim, “Daylight”
October 28, 2008
Are you bummed? The ecstatic happiness of this duo and their modified New Jack Swing beat will either break you out of your depression or send you down a seething path of destruction.

MTV Music Launches
October 28, 2008
The Flaming Lips |MTV Music
The name of MTV’s new music video portal is a little David St. Hubbins redundant — MTV Music is literally “Music Television Music,” grammar kids, but by its looks and functionality, it is Hulu for music video. My good friend Preston at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram sent me an... Read More

October 27, 2008
1. Rio En Medio, “Umbrella.” This is not a Rihanna cover, but the work of Brooklyn freak-folk singer Danielle Stech-Homsy, who plays a mean ukelele and looks super-cute in tribal furs. From the just-released “Frontier” disc.
2. Crowded House, “You Are the Only One To Make Me Cry.”
3. Art... Read More
Video of the Day: Scott Weiland, “Paralysis”
October 27, 2008
As exasperating as Weiland can be, this is at least a markedly different direction from Velvet Revolver. Which is like being praised for taking a markedly different direction from being a heroin addi– aw, forget it.

October 23, 2008
1. Weezer, “Troublemaker.” It looks like Rivers has been spending a little too much time in the Inland Empire.
2. Tomoyasu Hotei, “Battle Without Honor or Humanity.”
3. Jim Noir, “All Right.”
4. Ben Folds featuring Regina Spektor, “You Don’t Know Me.” Tim and Eric! Awesome show, Ben,... Read More
Either/Or, Episode 10: Pundits
October 22, 2008
In Either/Or, we take two people in similar pursuits, and you choose between them. It can be based on any criteria: professional ability, personality, intellectual prowess, physical pulchritude, or who you’d want backing you up in a knife fight. It really doesn’t matter: just choose Either/Or.

October 22, 2008
1. The Flaming Lips, “Waitin’ For a Superman.” Wayne’s greatest and most personal song is accompanied by a deeply emotional video, most of which was shot within one mile of my house. A classic — part of the Staticblog canon.
2. Lindsey Buckingham, “Show You How.”
3. Electric Light... Read More

1. The Kinks, “Do It Again”

6. The Psychedelic Furs,... Read More
Oops, She Did It Again
October 21, 2008
Britney’s back, bitches.
No, really.
Her latest single, “Womanizer,” has jumped to the topof the U.S. charts, making an unprecedented leap from No. 96 to No. 1, the sort of volatility that can make Hank Paulson break out in a cold sweat. It marks Britney’s first No. 1 single since “Baby, One... Read More
DVD Review: “Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten”
October 21, 2008
Rating: 92
The leader of The Clash was a fully self-invented man, and as Julian Temple’s exhilarating documentary “Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten” illustrates, the punk who was born John Mellor spent nearly the last 20 years of his life not knowing what to do with his invention. Strummer was a... Read More

Music Review: Nikka Costa, “Pebble to a Pearl”
October 21, 2008
Rating: 83
Seven years ago, Nikka Costa’s career looked certain to go supernova — her song “Like a Feather” was everywhere and her style had one foot in classic funk and another in sci-fi future soul. But then she fell prey to industry whims and was forced to re-record much of her 2005 disc,... Read More
