Music site NME.com has named Radiohead's "Paranoid Android" the best song of the past 15 years. It beats out Arcade Fire's "Rebellion", Outkast's "Hey Ya!", The Strokes' "Last Nite" and The Killers' "Mr. Brightside". The site has a full 150 song »»

The loud/quiet, two contrasts dynamic has been done to death, of course, but Midas Fall show they are far from two-dimensional with tracks ranging from the vocal and piano-led "War Pigeon" with its sparse yet engrossing four minutes that never threaten to fall flat, "Fog Sky Nun" and its out-of-nowhere sucker-punch... »»
Radiohead's improved profit margins were, of course, helped by the lack of record label middle men taking their slice. I wonder what will happen when the public become completely accustomed to free-on-demand music? Not even democratic pricing will penetrate wallets once we're used to paying nothing and getting everything. ... »»
It’s nutty. This was the first decade where I was an adult through the entire thing, thus it’s the first decade where I’ve really been able to have an opinion about the “best of the decade” topics. It’s a weird feeling; it’s excitement coupled with obligation. ... »»
I made a mix for myself to listen to on the bus ride from Baltimore to Pennsylvania. It's composed mostly of songs that I was either digging at the time or singles/albums that I'd recently picked up. There's a pretty respectable hip-hop side. ... But there's also an unfortunate alternative side that hasn't aged nearly as well. ... »»
A week ago I got my latest issue of Entertainment Weekly in the mail. As usual, I immediately flipped to the music section to (a) read the reviews and (b) see which albums were about to be released. ... I was greeted with the sight of Thom Yorke's mug. Now, his visage isn't for everyone... »»
I work at a place that has Muzak satellite radio piped in, which means that I listen to a handful of songs by a couple of dozen artists. There really isn't too much variety involved.
I believe that the channel we listen to is "Adult Alternative," and it seems like whomever is in charge of the programming for the channel goes though phases. Back in the day, Pete Yorn would get some songs in the mix, as would Ben Folds Five. I always enjoyed when they'd get some play, but I haven't heard either for quite some time.
There was also a time when you'd hear quite a few songs from Ryan Adams' Gold. Not that long ago, the soundtrack for I Am Sam was all the fashion. But lately, things have taken a sinister turn.

So it's that time of year again; time for my annual column to "no one knows whom." It's a tradition. Every year I put it out there and lay it all on the line... OK, I lay most of it on the line. But that's really just for self-preservation. ... »»
Welcome to the latest edition of the VIII, where, as before, I'll be featuring eight different performers, currently on the move, whom I have enjoyed in the past, with a few recent discoveries as well.
Danny Ross, is a excellent pop vocalist and pianist, very similar in style to Norah Jones and Bens Fold Five with the winter-appropriate "When You're Down (And You're Out)" from his 2007 release, Introducing Danny Ross! EP. We all go through moods like this, and this particular track could have easily been included in the Peanuts series if it were made now.

One of my favorite things about coworkers is the sharing of music. In fact, given my misanthropic tendencies I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it's the only thing I like about coworkers. ... During my time in the "702," I had coworkers who tried to sell me on U2 and Lil Wayne with a single mix offered to me by my closest friend out there. U2 and Lil Wayne. Does my move back to Baltimore make any more sense now? ... »»
Yeah, that's right. I'm still lamenting aspects of my life that currently reside in Tucson.
This time I'm focusing on my actual minidiscs. I had dozens of those things all filled up with perfectly crafted mixes. I'd spend hours poring over discographies trying to come up with the precise mix to encapsulate an artist. And if you were an artist that I really dug, you'd get more than one disc.

When the band is clicking, Lensing is really good—the grind of opener "Paradise Is a Boxcar", the hook of "Automatic Doors", the flourish of "Selling Oxygen", the beauty of "This Mortal Engine". In fact, the entire first half of the album is pretty much spot on. ... Some of the later tracks start to sound a little too much like Radiohead, and the songs become almost uninspired. It's difficult to put your finger on, but these tracks just seem to lack the spark of the album's first half. ... »»
