Thom Yorke fails at remixing DOOM

I know it’s Thom Yorke and he’s a genius and all, but his remix of Doom’s EPIC “Gazzillion Ear” is a FAIL. It’s everything I don’t want it to be. It’s boring, it’s ambient, it’s pretentious. It basically takes out everything that was cool about the song (sans vocals) and replaces it with weird Thom Yorkian stuff.… Continue reading Thom Yorke fails at remixing DOOM

Codename benefit concert at UMD for ‘The Mockingbird Foundation’

Despite your greatest beliefs, Knox Road is actually run by people (who we like to think are humane – I know, shocker), and when we hear about music combined with a worthy cause we’re always ready to pounce. This time we provide an ultra special treat though: the benefit concert is happening right at the… Continue reading Codename benefit concert at UMD for ‘The Mockingbird Foundation’

New Matt Kanelos & The Smooth Maria song

Of course this would happen. Merely two days after posting about Matt Kanelos & The Smooth Maria (I’d link to the post but like, all you have to do is scroll down…) they come out with another new song from their upcoming cd, Silent Show. Because of the extremely positive reader response to the previous… Continue reading New Matt Kanelos & The Smooth Maria song

Dayliner releases April song, “Mrs. Kuwaltz”

Dayliner just released their latest monthly song, this time titled “Mrs. Kuwaltz”, and I’m starting to think it’s my favorite song yet from them – mostly because of the enormous potential on display. It strays a bit from their previous arrangements and shows us that they may have a little progressive rock in them yet.… Continue reading Dayliner releases April song, “Mrs. Kuwaltz”

The Vaselines announce “tour dates”

I understand that older bands can’t tour very much, what with the back pains and arthritis and family yadda yadda. But I’m sorely disappointed Scotland’s The Vaselines, who Kurt Cobain like worshipped, are only doing a few dates primarily on the West Coast. Seriously, they have two shows in California, one in Oregon, another in… Continue reading The Vaselines announce “tour dates”

Trent Reznor wins April Fool’s Day

Trent Reznor twitted excitedly about a “new NIN album” “out now” called Strobe Light. He said it was produced by Timbaland. Do artists still collaborate with Timbaland? I think that’s an old joke. But because of the sheer effort Reznor put into this, he wins. Check out the album deets. He even made a whole fake… Continue reading Trent Reznor wins April Fool’s Day

I’m too busy doing taxes to write a proper post

I don’t get taxes. Why we have them or how to do them or why if my address is in Pennsylvania I send my forms to Missouri (seriously, wtf). So because I’m pretty much FML right now (SO trendy to say), I’m going to post this cop out post that has songs involving taxes and… Continue reading I’m too busy doing taxes to write a proper post

Knox Road interview with Exit Clov

With great excitement I announce to you all that we recently had the wonderful opportunity of doing some q+a with a KR favorite, D.C.’s own indie pop darlings, Exit Clov. Fittingly, Exit Clov will be starting their East Coast tour in D.C. at the Black Cat on April 1 (as Jamie noted) and then right… Continue reading Knox Road interview with Exit Clov

About my interview with After Last Season’s Mark Region

I’ve received a lot of questions about my interview with After Last Season writer/director/producer Mark Region, so I guess I’ll do some verifying. (See the bizarre trailer here and the interview here). I found Mark Region’s phone number through a WhoIs search on the website for his production company, Index Square. Since the number was… Continue reading About my interview with After Last Season’s Mark Region
