The Case for Viral Videos (and Dance Teams)

This is sooooo much better --and much more appropriate-- than the official video for 'Sex on Fire'. Click to continue reading...

Soccer Mom Heaven: The Wizards meet Coldplay

0
There are two people in this photo who get paid to travel around, see the world and play music; those people are Chris Martin (sitting) and Will Champion (short hair, beard, best name ever) out of Coldplay. I'm sure you've heard of them as your missus and your mother listen to them when they need a good cry about how you're not doing what they want you to do. Click to continue reading...

On Musical Credability, The Roster and Frankencooper

0
Personally I would have preferred the INXS take on this; I firmly believe that no one really likes Dylan, they just say they do because they are supposed to. Same thing goes for Patti Smith. But whatevs, I just love that U.S. Soccer is pop-culturally astute enough to announce the roster for the match v. Click to continue reading...

Best box set ever.

0
People who listen to non-English rock music are a pretentious bunch. I've never met anyone who listens to non-English rock who isn't a total dweeb -- I'd throw this particular kind of music fan in the same category as Jethro Tull, Yes, or Moody Blues fans. I.e., people I'd rather not discuss music [. Click to continue reading...

NSR: Friday Funkyness with Friendly Fires

0


I'm feeling funky today so I'm gonna drop this Friendly Fires on you. I hung out with these Limeys a few weeks ago during CMJ and they were really chill. They're from St. Albans and they totally dress like it; they look like a band made up of accountants and professors and have singer who moves like an epileptic Mick Jagger.

I stopped believin’.

1
Journey was one of my favorite bands -- nay, my absolute favorite band -- when I was around 11. A few years after that I discovered punk, and I eventually lost track of them. I still like their music, but good Lord the lyrics are dopey. Here's some interesting news about one of their [...] Click to continue reading...

"It's That Chester Sh*t It's Outrageous, Don't Know What to Do"

1
Oh. My. Shit. MLS done hit it into and out the back net of the upper 90. For this year's MLS Cup they got Pharell's latest proteges and Ivy League hipster sensations Chester French for the pre-game entertainment. I'm not kidding you when I say that I have been waiting a solid year for their album, She Loves Everybody, and it's Neptunes-meets-Weezer freshness to be released (it's out today).

NSR: TV on the Radio on TV

I haven't watched The Tonight Show since Carson was on there until last night. I sure can pick 'em because by sheer happy accident the show I stumbled upon featured a live performance from TV on The Radio, natch. Get on on your "Dancing Choose" and enjoy. Click to continue reading...

NSR: Return of The Abstract

0
Q-Tip is back with a new album this week, The Renaissance. How is it? I think it's the mutt's nutt's but I'm olde, bourgeois and like "happy rap". But if you can watch the video for "Move" above and not get your head nod on you need your wrists slit with your own Soulja Boy CD. Click to continue reading...

NSR: Bloc Party Put On The Spot and Deliver

0



Those French freaks at La Blogotheque don't play. They spotted Bloc Party inside a Parisian watering hole a few days ago, put them on the spot and basically forced them to play a song for them so they wouldn't look like D-bags on camera. It's a guerrilla move for sure, but hey it's hard out there for the content-starved blogger. Click to continue reading...

Part of the Weekend Never Dies

0


The clip above is the trailer for Soulwax/2 Many DJ's recently-released rockumentary. I think it has officially surpassed Depeche Mode's classic film "101", which set the standard for dance music road flicks back in 1989, and will be the reigning champion of the medium until Justice slays us all with "A Cross The Universe" next month.

Glasvegas: Footie, Crap Dads, and Social Workers

0


Have you checked out Glasvegas yet? It's not for everybody but if you're down with olde, dreary British bands like Jesus & Mary Chain, Echo & The Bunnymen and pre-Joshua Tree U2 you might feel these guys (and girl). It's sort of like Editors but with all of their indie-disco ambitions thrown in the bin. Click to continue reading...

NSR: Justice Are in No Way Safe For Work. Unless You Work in a Really Messed Up Disco.

0
If you've been dipping into TOR for a while you know I have a thing for the heavy-metal house music of Justice. Dudes kill it on wax and on stage in a way that only another notorious French dance duo can. Sh*t, I still have blisters on my feet from the VMA after party they threw at Beauty Bar in Vegas last year. Click to continue reading...

NSR: The Trouble is Love Don't Want You

0


Common Market is a hip hop duo out of Seattle that KRS-One has been co-signing on for a minute now. Not really the typical sound of the Black Box (a.k.a. my iPhone) but their single "Trouble Is" is getting heavy rotation right now. If you want to really get the full effect of this highly narrative video, I recommend watching it in HD. Click to continue reading...

NSR: Japanese Motors Break the SF SoCal Punk Embargo

0



I've never really taken to punk music originating from southern California. When it comes to P.U.N.K. Rock! Rock! Rock! my tastes have traditionally pointed toward England, D.C., and New York. The one exception would be Social Distortion, although every time I see them live or read an interview with him I'm always on edge because I feel like you could say or do something ignorant enough to be a deal-breaker at any moment.

NSR: Kings of Leon Could "Use Somebody"

3
Damn y'all I don't know what it is but I'm tits-over-tail for this new Kings of Leon record. I never liked their first two LP's of dirty Southern twang, and only thought their last record was OK. But this new one, Only By The Night, is killing. I'm still not over "Sex on Fire" yet, and now they're dropping the U2-Meets-Journey anthem "Use Somebody" on me. Click to continue reading...

Who likes goals?

You do, so enjoy... Bundesliga (this clip spans the entire season to date, rounds 1-5) Eredivisie MLS Serie A (gotta dig the music on this one) I'm hangin' the chads for Frei, Elyounoussi, Rogers and Kaká. And for good measure, check out Fernandinho dialing long distance to win a Champions League match for Shakhtar Donetsk in midweek. Click to continue reading...

NSR: Return of The Killers

Nice to see them drop the Springsteen-chic of Sam's Town for a return to their former maudlin, dance floor glory. Their new single is entitled "Human" and the new Stuart Price (aka Thin White Duke a.k.a Jacques Lu Cont) produced album drops Nov. 25th. Click to continue reading...

Black Hole of Record Winless Streak Devouring Galaxy's Season

1

Wizards 2 Galaxy 0.

This was a game that looked like it involved the two last-place teams in the league, at least until the Wizards scored two goals in two minutes to dispose of the Galaxy.

The largest Wizards crowd of the season - 26,113 - watched as the Galaxy winless streak reached 12 games, a stretch that has seen L.

NSR: Love Lockdown

1
Y'all know I have a love-hate relationship with Kanye West. I have to be honest though when I say that after his hook on Farnsworth Bentley's surprisingly tight single "Everybody" and last night's unveiling of the brooding, paranoid groover "Love Lockdown" I'm kinda feeling him right now.

Not many YouTube football videos are set to techno music. Bit this one is. And though to begin with it just looks like some men you don't know holding hands... keep watching and you'll see two excellent goals.

NSR: The Verve's 'Forth' is Out Today

1
By the way, Toronto FC fans The Verve's first new album in 10 years was released today and I am going home to wallow in my 90's space-rock nostalgia tonight. If you --like me-- have a thing for moderately psychedelic Brit-rock with a penchant for grand overstatements and druggie guitar work, I highly recommend you get this album.

NSR: Kanye's Tuesday Morning Cartoons

Damn, y'all. Kanye is just throwing out video's just for something to do. This week it's the all-anime clip for "Good Morning". Last week it was the puppet track-meet joint for "Champion". And the week before that it was the 8-bit wonder for his remix of N*E*R*D's "Everyone Nose". Next week it will be. Click to continue reading...
