Dueling Apps: Pandora vs. Last.fm, Round Three — David Bowie
October 29, 2009
Having gotten my first iPhone two months ago, my main focus in collecting applications is on music and news, and the music part has been chaotic at best — while I enthusiastically downloaded apps for KCRW and Indie 103.1, I became frustrated at the number of dropouts and buffering issues I faced with both these...

Dueling Apps: Pandora vs. Last.fm, Round Two — St. Vincent
October 28, 2009
My best iPhone music app experiences are currently with Pandora and Last.fm. I downloaded Pandora almost instantly once I got the phone, but I was pointed to Last.fm by a friend this past weekend, and since the two services are fairly similar in format and functionality, I decided it would be interesting to take...

Movie Review: “Michael Jackson’s This Is It”
October 28, 2009
Rating: 72
Doubters have every reason to be skeptical about “Michael Jackson’s This Is It,” mainly because it was assembled in less than four months and carries all the warning signs of both a cynical cash grab and a maudlin lionization of a dead superstar. But “This Is It” confounds expectations by... Read More

Them Crooked Vultures, “New Fang”
October 27, 2009
For those not fully paying attention, Them Crooked Vultures is Josh Homme, Dave Grohl and John Paul Jones, and “New Fang,” the leadoff track from the trio’s self-titled debut (due Nov. 17) sounds exactly like all three.
This is what happens when a) Robert Plant dithers on the Led Zeppelin tour, b) Dave... Read More

Video of the Day: Weezer, “(If You’re Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To”
October 23, 2009
In this video for Weezer’s insanely ear-wormy new single, Odette Yustman (“Cloverfield”) causes untold carnage through her insurmountable power of distraction, which makes sense in the grand scheme of current starlets, because Yustman makes Megan Fox look like Edward G. Robinson.

Music Review: The Flaming Lips, “Embryonic”
October 21, 2009
All great artists understand that every idea has its termination point, and with their big, apocalyptic howl of a headphone album, “Embryonic,” the Flaming Lips are at that jagged end and daring everyone who came on board in the past decade to march off the edge with them. If “In a Priest Driven Ambulance”... Read More

Rating: 98

Since the full-scale reinvention of U2′s tours as an electro-savvy stadium extravaganza with the 1992-93 “Zoo TV” tour, the chatter about each worldwide venture centers on the new set.
