This is Ethan Johns’ solo project. I can’t decide if I like it, but he’s been opening for Ray Lamontagne in addition to producing some great records over the past decade.
NIN Fans Demand Liz Cheney Apologize for Trent Reznor "Pathetic" Comment
As previously reported, NIN’s Trent Reznor, Rage’s Tom Morello, R.E.M., Pearl Jam, the Roots, Rise Against, Billy Bragg, Jackson Browne, and other famous musicians have joined the National Campaign to Close Guantanamo and released a string of statements condemning the use of music for torture at Gitmo. Well, it looks like the debate is heating up a bit:
Debra Burlingame, director of Keep America Safe, a political organization co-founded by Liz Cheney that focuses “on issues like troop levels, missile defense, detainees, and interrogation,” called Reznor and company’s political stand “pathetic,” telling the Washington Times:
It’s almost laughable to think that heavy metal bands like Nine Inch Nails and Rage Against the Machine have a moral authority on national security issues.
They’re worried about torture of hard-core terrorists? This is really something I would expect to read in the Onion.
Love him or hate him, he’s a king.
The Beatles Never Broke Up...
Well-done.
Here here. Definitely one of the greatest debut albums of all time.
Nirvana - School
Sometimes I think that out in the ether somewhere there is this oil well of artistic creativity and greatness, and you’re lucky to get a few drops of it here and there over the years. I also think that, even given all the bullshit that came later, for about 18 months in 1989-1990 Nirvana mainlined directly into the motherlode of this oil well. “Bleach” could be, probably is, the greatest debut record ever. Punkmetal stoner rock to its fullest expression.

This is absolutely NSFW. You’ve been warned. It is, however, a really great song and music video.

@yvynyl Twitter Lists
Twitter recently began rolling out a new feature called Lists - basically a way for you to organize and categorize the streams you follow on the service, both publicly and privately.
I funnel this Tumblr blog into a Twitter account - and while I don’t love how it renders there, I mostly did it to give people the opportunity of subscribing in a different place instead of Tumblr or via RSS, if they so choose. Since I started the account, I’ve also begun following a bunch of great music-related folks. And while it’s by no means comprehensive yet, I did a quick pass at organizing them today and wanted to share with you. For your tweetin’ pleasure, I give you:
- Music Bloggers & Blogs
- Musicians
- Music Magazines
- Music Festivals
- Record Labels
- Music 2.0 People and Companies
- and Philly Venues for y’all Philly folk like me.
If you’d like to be included on one of these lists, by all means, @yvynyl me.
