Spinal Tap was on the "Daily Show" earlier this week. Above is their rendition of "Funky Sex Farm," and below is their extended performance, that didn't make it to air. The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Mon - Thurs... » more

Earfarm has a neat little quiz up, in which you have to determine if a given musical outfit is for kids or disaffected hipsters.

They include one of my new favorite bands, Drink Up Buttercup, which I'll give you for free is a indie band. Although, confusingly enough, the below video is from a Kidrockers session at Pianos last winter.

Also, I didn't know this when I started writing this... » more

• Steely Dan plays Beacon Theatre July 28, 29, 31 and August 1, 3, 4, 10, 11.

Beck, one of our favorites, has launched a series of new ventures (Pitchfork has a pretty good summary here, you don't need me to rewrite it). The highlights include an acoustic version of 2008's "Modern Guilt," with one... » more

Here's Jack White and his new band, The Dead Weather, just shooting the breeze. I know White's persona can really rub some people the wrong way, but I really love it. Also, his hair is getting magnificent.

The other band members are no slouches either.

Oh, you want to hear what they sound like? Here's "Treat Me Like Your Mother."

Well, Albert Hammond Jr. did it first, to great acclaim; and Nikolai Fraiture and Fabrizio Moretti followed suit this summer, to mixed results; and now Julian Casablancas is doing it, leaving guitarist Nick Valensi the only Stroke to not have a side project.
