Soundtrack? is a new recurring feature in which we tell you more about the music heard in each episode of Best Week Ever. This week, were talkin about Partie Traumatic, the debut album from the adorable indie rock band Black Kids.
Okay, everybody just calm down. Soundtrack is a feature that talks about music that played during Friday night’s episode of BWE. So obviously I’m aware of the fact that this is a year/weeks/however long on your hipster calendar…

These nine acts of musical crime literally brought hip-hop to the brink of death, and now we must learn from the past to ensure history never repeats itself. Why only 9? Because the man wouldnt let us have 10.
I debated whether or not Kevin Federlines disastrous 2006 foray into hip-hop even qualified to make this list since it was universally panned and did not make any impact what-so-ever on the world. I think he sold a grand total of…

With news and updates on the upcoming Terminator Salvation hitting the net between the first and second seasons of Foxs Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, fans of the show now have something to get excited about when Season 2 begins with singer and Garbage front-lady, Shirley Manson, in the cast for the premiere on Monday, September 8.
According to Friedman, landing Manson for the role of a CEO of a high-tech corporation was more personal than fans would expect. “I?ve known Shirley well for a couple of years and off and on for many years. She?s a friend of my…

This weekend on the Puget Sound waterfront, Myrtle Edwards Park plays host to America’s largest marijuana law reform event in the 17th annual Seattle Hempfest. The festival, the purpose of which is to educate the public on the many uses and benefits of the cannabis plant, runs from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
Although the issue of marijuana legalization is at the center of Hempfest, the festival's always-impressive band lineup is a major reason why it is expected to draw more than 150,000 people to the waterfront this weekend. Among the many…

U2, the only band to have had an official iPod model made in its honor, has dropped the DRM from its music catalog for the first time. All 19 of the band’s full-length releases (including some special editions with bonus tracks) are now available on the Rhapsody MP3 store for $10 a piece, or $20 for double-length releases that contain bonus tracks.
Rhapsody began selling 256 Kbps, DRM-free MP3s in late June (launch party) on the same day the company announced partnerships with iLike, MTV and Yahoo. This also represents a new development for U2, whose manager Paul McGuinness has…

Check out these popular strange (or counterculture) tunes from 1973
The name of the song came from the way they edited songs in the studio back then - by literally cutting and splicing the tape - they had the tape strung all over the studio - wondering if they would ever put it back together…

Lethal Bizzle, a Mobo-winning black rapper who once called David Cameron a “donut” for blaming youth violence on rap music, had to perform his set at the annual Download Festival on Sunday under constant shower of objects, including bottles thrown by the crowd who appeared to dislike his inclusion in an otherwise predominantly heavy metal line-up.
The 24-year-old grime star, who was born to Ghanaian parents and grew up in Walthamstow, east London, initially declined to talk about the racist abuse but has decided to urge festival-goers to be more accepting of urban acts appearing…

Reflecting an eclectic Broadway season, the 62nd Annual Tony Awards crowned a salsa-flavored musical written by a theater novice, a nostalgic glamorous revival, a sweeping melodrama from a writer making his Broadway debut, and the revival of a 60s sex farce.
Mr. Sher paid homage to the show’s composer (Richard Rodgers), its lyricist and book writer (Oscar Hammerstein), its director and co-writer of the book (Joshua Logan) and the man who wrote the novel on which…

Last month, the police chief wrote a six-page letter to the church to seek solutions. The document stated that the music is 10 times the legal limit, even after it had been turned down.
“No one denies that it’s a code violation, but no one wants to do anything about it,” Allen said. “It’s frustrating after a year and a half.”
