Video of the Day: Graham Coxon, “What’ll It Take”
March 05, 2012
It would charitable to say that Coxon’s new single is lyrically slight, and the effects look like a “Doctor Who” episode in which London is attacked by pixels, but with a new Blur album on the way, it still gets me excited.

Album Review: Frankie Rose, “Interstellar”
February 28, 2012
Rating: 91
Since emerging as drummer for the Vivian Girls in 2007, Frankie Rose proved to be so peripatetic that just maintaining her official bio could be a fulltime job. After leaving the Vivian Girls, Rose moved on to similarly minded garage-rock bands such as Crystal Stilts and the Dum Dum Girls before... Read More

Album Review: Van Halen, “A Different Kind of Truth” (Interscope)
February 10, 2012
Rating: 82
