"32 Flavors" of Ani DiFranco



Apparently the idiosyncratic Ani DiFranco didn’t play my favorite song of hers, “32 Flavors,” at her recent 9:30 Club gig the other night. So here’s a gorgeous high-quality live version of the track from Sessions at West 54th back in 1997.

Broken Bells

Producer-extraordinaire Danger Mouse (Gnarls Barkley, Gorillaz, The Grey Album) has formed another strange collaboration, this time with James Mercer, lead singer of indie-poppers The Shins. For the most part, Broken Bells tracks are melodic with a laid-back vibe and stripped, low-key electro-beat grooves - perfect for chilling in the lounge. The new album will be streaming over on NPR here until its release March 9th. And yes, they’re a “real band,” performing live at SXSW March 17th.

New Marah


Some news from the Marah front. They claim the new album, Life is a Problem will be dropping June 1st. We'll believe that when we see it. In the meantime, another new song has been released, the sweet acoustic "Waiting for a Devil." Get it using the widget above, or on their website here. Maybe it's just me, but I kinda wanted some rollicking rock n' roll...

Jersey Shore Reaction



Hitler reacting to the new season of Jersey Shore not being filmed in New Jersey. This is actually pretty good.

Flying Pink



Pink put on one amazing acrobatic (literally) performance last night at the Grammys.
