Sometimes you think about all the things that are going on in the world right now, as you live your everyday life. Things like… butterflies going extinct, Stephen Colbert making a cameraman laugh with boundless joy, a child in Uzbekistan putting the final stitches on your Urban Outfitters short shorts, a baby bird building a home with its mama bird. Beautiful things. Terrible things. And into the midst of all that worldly clamor comes psych/synth/dub mad genius Dylan Ettinger, merrily driving his tour van deep into the heart of tour land. (That’s from a nursery rhyme my ...

If there's anything that unites the golden age of cable drama in the last decade or so, it's the way that their characters -- often the ones you're meant to be rooting for -- are responsible for some truly terrible, terrible things.

On cable, it tends to be a question of watching people we like slowly lose their souls via abominable acts, from Tony Soprano and Al Swearengen to Walter ...

The London based four five piece craft electronic pop of a whizzing, fingers-in-the-air but then plant lyrics on top which contain a deep layer of melancholy. This summer’s ‘Celeste’ album is a case in point –all fashionable pouting and 80s sounds, the catchiness of the melodies were tied to often quite emotive lyrics. “I like to think that the songs are written from the ...

Music has faced some terrible things in its time. The second act of Peter Andre's career. Paul Weller chumming up with Noel Gallagher. The invention of the banjo. But now, according to George Martin , it is facing its biggest challenge yet. Er, the takeover of EMI: Sir George has claimed the deals will hand both Sony and Universal a “virtual monopoly”. “I am saddened that great companies have been swallowed up by the giants, and the domination of the recording and music publishing industry by Sony and Universal can only lead to a virtual monopoly in the European market ...

Parole was once again denied to the famous lunatic Charles Manson today. And while we’re very very glad that such a horrible person is locked up and unable to do terrible things in the world outside of his California prison, we would love to see old swastika-forehead do one thing while he spends out the rest of his [...]

So um… I’ve got a lot to say, and music to share. Creative energy stewing, while I wait for May 22nd. After I posted a video dictating the top songs in the Pop Punk/Rock/Alternative/Emo turntable.fm room, I got a bunch of feedback saying that I should start a podcast.  I’m shy as fuck.  My friend, Pip , hosts an Internet radio show every Thursday on Radio Xenu. Lately I’ve been calling in and shootin’ the shit with him on air. I earned myself a theme song and everything! Well a few weeks ago I ...

It looks as if Terrible Things is continuing on and has begun the recording process for what we hope is a new record. In the past year, Terrible Things lost two of their three members. First, Andy Jackson left the group and returned to Hot Rod Circuit. Next, drummer Josh Eppard was invited back into Coheed and Cambria. This left singer Fred Mascherino (The Color Fred, Taking Back Sunday) alone to carry on the name. He has not yet named any new members, but we expect to hear new information soon.  …
