• Strum and Twang: A Look At This Week's Top Five Country Singles

  Rap and rock are about rappers and rockers, about virtuosity or bad-assedness or some other salable trait specific to an individual performer. Country hates all that. Instead, it takes as its subject its own listeners. The only boasting you'll hear from the hatted pros concerns their audience: that they're decent, humble, and everything that's right with America. It's no coincidence that the audience in turn reflects these salable traits back on the flatterers. Whether it's talk radio or CMT, th

• Concert Review: the Creature Comforts reunion at the Record Bar

  Saturday night's Creature Comforts reunion show at the Record Bar was one of those nights where I hung out, drank too much, and generally acted like I was ten years younger than I am. And, really--the Creature Comforts were a major part of my early twenties. Confession time: while I've probably seen more Ultimate Fakebook shows that I have Creature Comforts shows, the Creature Comforts were always my favorite. As much as I enjoyed the UFB reunion show, this was the one to which I was really loo

• New releases, Tuesday , June 23

  Dinosaur Jr's Farm is currently charting at #1 over at KJHK, Pitchfork gave it an 8.5, and it's on Jagjaguwar, home to such current indie rock faves as as Okkervil River and Sunset Rubdown. I haven't heard it, but considering those three facts, it's probably a safe bet to pick up Farm today and not worry about whether you're wasting your hard-earning scrilla. They're playing on Jimmy Fallon on Thursday, or you can just avoid the whole painfulness of watching an entire episode and check it out on

Also on the list of "no more covers": Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" Cheap Trick's "I Want You to Want Me" any chart hit by the Beatles, Rolling Stones, or the Kinks Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" any ironic '80s hair metal covers by pop-punk bands Discuss songs you'd rather not hear covered in the comments, and check out thr

  Okay, so Matt Pryor of the Get Up Kids told a story to Spinner earlier this month about the tour they did opening for Weezer back in 2001 (it played Memorial Hall, and Ozma also played, and it was fucking AWESOME). So, in it, Pryor said of the Weez that they were "the only band I've toured with for a month that I've never spoken to. They're jackasses." Well, Rivers Cuomo is telling his story and making overtures towards healing via Twitter: ​ Aw. How sweet. If anyone is going to be in NYC

• Concert Review: Brendan Benson at the Bottleneck (plus Dead Girls video)

  Going into a show aware of an artist's reputation, but completely unfamiliar with any of that artist's material is a double-edged sword. I've not a clue as to how any of Brendan Benson's studio work compared with the live show he and his band put on Saturday night at the Bottleneck. Thus, while being completely ignorant with anything he's done, I'm going into this without any preconceived notions.
