• The Download: New Team9 MP3s

  Neil Mason is best known for mashing up other artists' work (at times, to the chagrin of record labels), but he isn't afraid of originality. From his Team9 website: "I've spent the last few months neck deep on an original album - the first since 2003. 'We Dont Disco' is an electronic soundtrack to the days of my life. A little bit ambient, a little bit pop, a little bit dance......its a little bit kind of thing. If you like it then great, its free to download and completely copyright free - y

• The Download: New Steinski MP3

  Steve Stein, a.k.a. Steinski, has a knack for turning history into hip-hop. Back in the 80's, the NYC producer (alongside his collage cohort, Double Dee), caught the world's attention with by chopping and mixing the drum track from the Rolling Stones' "Honky Tonk Women" with soundbites from the JFK assassination. Thankfully, the subject matter associated with his latest blend is a bit lighter. From his blog: "The more I watched the clip of Reverend Lowery delivering the benediction after Obama

• This Weekend: ex-Brian Jonestown Massacre guitarist drifts in to Replay

  Lawrence's Replay Lounge was built for bands like Spindrift, a large ensemble of freaky West Coast psych-rockers who play the sort of music you might imagine emanating from the venue's jukebox right before a squinty-eyed gunslinger walks in. Led by former Brian Jonestown Massacre guitarist Kirpatrick Thomas, the seven-piece ensemble takes inspiration from Ennio Morricone's spaghetti westerns and Anthony DiLorenzo's vampire-flick soundtracks as well as acid-rock kingpins like the Doors and Jeffer

  There's nothing coming out today. Seriously, I scoured pretty much every list I use to put this thing together: Largeheartedboy's weekly new release post, Pitchfork's guide to summer releases, Metacritic's upcoming CD releases page, and Punknews.org's release schedule to miss what falls through the cracks. ​I was going to write about the RX Bandits's Mandala, and how they used to be a ska-punk band (or, rather, a ska-emo band) and are now something like a prog-rock jam band, but that albu

• "Seven Nation Army" Doesn't Need Any More Covers

  When Kelly Clarkson and the Oak Ridge Boys have both covered a song, it can officially be retired. We don't need any more covers of this White Stripes number -- okay, kids? 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

• Video: Copyright Criminals Trailer

  Copyright Criminals, a film that takes on the tough topic of sampling, and where it fits in both the legal and artistic realms, comes to the Tivoli on October 22, at 7 p.m. Director Kembrew McLeod will be on hand at the screening. (Thanks to DLC for the tip.) ​It's something that has many facets, such as Biz Markie's use of of a Gilbert O'Sullivan sample or the Verve's notorious tussle with the Rolling Stones over "Bittersweet Symphony." Interestingly, it seems that the film focuses main
