RS #1051 (best of rock cover)
Tunes to check out:
- Against Me "New Wave" (RS calls them "the definitive punk band of the Bush-Cheney era")
- Robyn (self titled) ("a shiny mainstream pop record with enough wit and weirdness to impress even jaded bloggers")
- Santogold (reggae/rap/rock mix)
- The Answer "Rise" (import only / rock)
Random news items:
- Green Day working on a FULL Foxboro Hot Tubs album. Yay!
- Al Green teaming up with the Roots (and dueting with Corinne Bailey Rae, John Legend and Anthony Hamilton).
- DangerMouse working on the next Beck album (oooo!).
And:
Dear Matt Taibbi,
Be careful out there.
Seriously,
those people are fucking crazy and when they see this article...they might come find you!,
