• Kings of Leon to Tour With The Walkmen

  Well, check out The Walkmen. Just a few months ago the NY stalwarts were playing The Basement with The Privates as their backing band. Now, they're hitting the road and playing above ground at large, large places like the Constant Convocation Center (?) with none other than Nashville's own Kings of Leon. As you may have heard, KOL, in addition to playing Clive Davis' pre-Grammy party (where they made quite an impression on Taylor Swift--more on that later) picked up the all-important Grammy fo

• Far Right Goes Off the Deep End: Are Conservatives Inciting Violence?

  "People once again are feeling oppressed by an out-of-control state. ... Like it or not, fascism is on the rise."--Glenn Beck. Speaking of kooks and guns, I've been laughing off all the red hot right-wing rhetoric about revolution and socialism and fascism and Second Amendment rights. Just those wacky wingnuts acting out again, I thought. But now I'm beginning to wonder if it's so harmless. As Charles Blow points out in this New York Times column, extremist "leaders" are calling for people to

• Pittsburgh Cop Killer Posted Beck Rant

  Glenn Beck wants YOU to prepare for the New World Order.On Monday, Pith's Jeff Woods posed a question: Do right-wing radio and TV hosts like Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh bear any responsibility for the actions of people like Richard Poplawski, the Pittsburgh man who killed three police officers on Saturday?As we all know, Woods is a limp-wristed liberal who's never kissed a girl in his life. So any claims he makes about manly things like guns or booze or booze and guns are to be sneered at. But

• Fresh Track: Roman Candle Hit the Road With Deep Vibration, Give Us a Free Tune

  I'm a Roman Candle. My head is full of flames.I've always wondered if Roman Candle named themselves after the Elliott Smith album. Probably not. I suppose it's more likely that they're named after...you know...roman candles. Either way, they're pretty cool, and they were dubbed "the Wilco of the South" by Prefix Magazine, so I guess I'm technically a little obligated to dig 'em. RC has just kicked off a tour in support of their latest, Oh Tall Tree in the Ear, and they'll be co-headlining with

• Summer Dates, Fresh Track: Those Darlins, "Red Light Love" [MP3]

  Drinking!I know there's been a lot of Darlins talk lately, what with The Black Lips playing their release on June 27 and them looking sexy at Bonnaroo and all. But their people (they have people) gave us the green light to post the first track/lead-off single from their eponymous debut full-length, so we're gonna go ahead and do that. It also happens to be what I think is the best song on the album. Listen up: Those Darlins - "Red Light Love" [MP3] Those Darlins, the album, is now available on

  ​ Last night. It finally happened. I was pushed over the edge. No longer a begrudging capitalist pawn, I am now a radical, ready to burn the whole country down and start from scratch. I actually uttered the words "I hate America right now." The catalyst was not a conversation about race, or health care, or immigration, or 9/11, anything that actually matters. It was that ridiculous NFL pre-game show. What the holy hell was that about? I'm not a sports fan, but I have been known to enjoy vario
