NETFLIX | PURCHASE Have you ever thought to yourself “I could do this for a living” while you were playing a game of Scrabble? If you’re like most people you probably haven’t...
NETFLIX | PURCHASE Red Sox vs Yankees, Chevy vs Ford, Ali vs Frazier, and of course Steve Wiebe vs Billy Mitchell. Few rivalries have been as intense and stood the test of time...
BUY ALBUM | SPRINGSTEEN WEBSITE This is still one of my favorite songs and albums by Bruce. I chose to feature this one because the content is as relevant today as it was when he wrote it...
I am here reporting live at Times Square in New York and it is pandemonium! People weeping openly in the streets, long embraces between strangers, spontaneous kissing and cheers that are ringing off the concrete pillars that surround us and echo throughout the labyrinth streets of the city...
I don’t know about you, but I had a fucking amazing time in high school. We released terrible rap albums, evaded the cops (mostly), and engaged in all-American debauchery in the heart of a troubled Milwaukee neighborhood...
PURCHASE | NETFLIX | WEBSITE We don’t want to come off as a bunch of nerds when talking about Helvetica, a documentary film by Gary Hustwit. That will be hard though, primarily because most people invision this film as a simple homage to a common typeface that you find on your computer...
Air & Sea Battle They’re back in town and crime is doomed.

Music, Media, Opinions & Recommendations
It’s a sad fact that a lot of bands can’t even hold themselves together for a set longer than an hour. Of the many bands I’ve seen, only a few have been able to pull off anything over an hour and forty-five minutes...

Music, Media, Opinions & Recommendations
Air & Sea Battle There’s something about Metric that makes me want to file their record along with the cassettes and CDs from my high school days, and I’d like to keep the information overload at bay so I can be left alone with the music.

Joel Dobbins' free online release Investment is almost astonishingly well produced. And Dobbins certainly has an ear for the grand, but this album is too epic for its own good.
Fullsteam Records (Finland) is a force to be reckoned with in Scandinavia and thanks to Paper Tiger AV, a new label & management company based out of the US, Fullsteam Records will finally be bringing their exceptional catalog to North America for the first time...
Galactic makes Frenchies scream with listenable rap You know what I was doing last night? (Besides watching totally awesome episodes of House and 24 [Pay me later, papa Rupert, I'm busy]) Listening to Galactic. Then I got to thinking ‘.. shit....
by Andrew Bates - A&SB contributor Wednesday night I saw MAE/personL/Barcelona at the Social here in Orlando. This is probably the best show that I have seen this year. First of all, I’ve been looking forward to seeing this show since earlier this year when dates were announced...
New A&SB contributor Zach Huff thinks the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s needed some enhanced interrogation techniques to rein in Nick Zinner’s guitar. Superchunk’s Misfits and Mistakes EP is bright and refreshing. Loney, Dear’s video for Airport Surroundings is my favorite of the year...
Though we are impatiently waiting for a US release date for the new Rubik record, we are held over by the release of their new video for the track “Wasteland”. Check it out above and check back soon because we will be posting up the release date when it comes
*and tell me this show has been canceled Whether it’s the lame, hackneyed writing, painfully forced pop culture references or the predictable, predictable plots - this show is the bane of television. As advertised, this is a blog that promotes positivity...
Do yourself a favor and get familiar with Fullsteam Records. The first thing you can do is download a free 8 song sampler (c/o AbsolutePunk.net) featuring 8 amazing tracks from some of their upcoming artists. The second thing you can do is visit FullsteamRecords.com and take some notes...
Joensuu 1685 is worth checking out for those who love shoegaze, video feedback and opium. Well, maybe not opium. Either way, just check out the video above and visit them on MySpace for more songs. We hope they can eventually get a release here in the US.
Okay, so we haven’t been updated as frequently as I like, but there is an explanation — your humble editor is on vacation in Milwaukee visiting family and friends (and totally not watching Maury). Problem is, the stone ages of 56K modems are still alive and well in his old house...
BUY $8.99 | MYSPACE I’m just going to come right out and say it: Doves can do no wrong by me. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of their records, each one well crafted and beautifully recorded...
I am not fascinated with death. But I do imagine what I might say if I knew it was coming. Whether I would be obsessed with its immediate circumstances or whether I would try to put my life in a small capsule of words. Would I be grief or panic stricken? Cold or desperate for human contact...
by David Debiak - A&SB Contributor I still spend quite a few hours during the week in a record store listening to the old man there tell me his stories. Like the time he met Springsteen or how his shop was once filled with customers...
It seems like once a month an artist from Scandinavia comes across my desk and completely makes my jaw drop. This month it was the artist Delay Trees from Helsinki & Hämeenlinna...
Do yourself a favor and check out Loney, Dear’s new video for “Airport Surroundings”. Then, once you’re done, do Loney, Dear a favor and vote for the video on mtvU’s The Freshmen...
We must say, it’s good to have Superchunk back. Leaves In The Gutter, their first release since 2001’s Here’s To Shutting Up!, captures the same old essence of the band, but Superchunk manages to stay relevant with these 5 bright and refreshing new tracks...
“Zero” Video | Myspace by Zach Huff - A&SB Contributor Have you ever stayed awake at night, staring at the slowly rotating ceiling fan blades above (or empty ceiling, should you be fan-less) while wondering, “What would a Yeah Yeah Yeahs album sound like if Karen O and Brian Chase decided...
