Konami’s Rock Revolution title has been the subject of considerable derision since it was first brought to the public eye. Critics have complained that the game offers no guitar peripheral of its own. Then they complained that it’s seven-pad...

So far, all the build-up for the December 6th battle between Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao has focused on, well, the boxing. We’re certainly guilty, being a sports blog and all, but with a bit web searchin’...

Hey kids! What’s the best way to get your band noticed across the world? How about an online contest sponsored by a mediocre energy drink with a controversial name that no one you know has ever tried? You’re in...

Idm Enterprises has found a way to take “self-expression” to new and ridiculously commercial heights. With so many different styles of cases and covers for your iPod available these days, Idm looked a little higher on our heads and...

With that whole MMA thing not working out exactly as he’d hope, this video shows us there’s hope for Kimbo Slice after all. We went to the Jets-Bengals game last week and can vouch for the fact that at...

We know everyone is excited about the Cubbies making it to the playoffs (We’re not. Go Doyers!), but one musician faced a corporate wrath when T.G.I. Friday’s, the fast-food chain that pretends to be a restaurant, fired him for...

Gotta hand it to the RIAA. It sure knows how to ruin everyone’s fun. Its latest victim? Muxtape, which just announced its “comeback” plans. They’re pretty beat...

Oh, Sandisk. Or should that be, oh, record companies? Either way, this won’t end up well. Sandisk announced today that it, along with the big four record companies, are working on a brand new music format called slotMusic. It’s...

Illinois homeboy and grunge rocker Emeritus Eddie Vedder is a devout Chicago Cubs fan. He’s so into his team that he’s taken that bellowing rasp of a voice to the studio to record a tribute track, inspired by legendary...

The financial world may be collapsing all around us, but don’t tell that to Best Buy. The largest consumer electronics retailer in the U.S. has bought Napster for $121 million, the marginalized also-ran of legal music downloads. Now, unless...

There’s a new photosharing (think Flickr) that may interest you iPhone users. It’s called Oosah, and it’s got an interesting feature that turns your iPhone into a giant jukebox. Oh, and it’s free....

Latin soul rockers from the late 70’s, and band we’ve never ever heard of, “Seguida”, have released a new album triumphantly titled “Seguida III” and have hit the marketing scene runnin’. In fact, they have a hot new webpage...

Internet radio darling Pandora is in very real danger of going out of business. Ever since last year’s federal decision to dramatically increase the rate that Internet radio broadcasters must pay per song played (even though terrestrial radio pays...

Invite-only BitTorrent tracker What.cd, which specializes in music, isn’t merely about downloading the latest Oasis single or The Game album for fee. No, no, it’s goes much deeper than that. The site fosters community, and encourages up-and-coming musicians to...

While we like watching the Olympics, sometimes we can’t stand the pomp and circumstance surrounding them. Sure it’s the “World’s Games,” but after the third day of listening to NBC’s gallant horn section before a women’s badminton doubles match,...

Genuinely decent rapper (well, once upon a time) Dr. Dre somehow convinced the folks at Monster Cable to help him create a pair of headphones, which is called “Beats”. Available at your local Apple and Best Buy retail store...

Drummers. They are the driving force of a band. If the drummer is off with the bass, he’s screwed. If the drummer misses a beat, then he’s screwed. If the drummer loses a stick, then he needs to channel...

Of all the serenades in all the world, we think Ritchie Valens singing “Oh Donna” over a public telephone has got to be the greatest. But this Manu Chao rendition of his own song “La Tombola” (a song that...

Not to date ourselves too much, but remember how exciting it was when MTV World Premiered videos for new songs? (Um, do you even remember videos?) Well, since the channel has gotten out of the music video business, it...

The new NFL season kicks off in a few weeks, and EA is ready, like always, to release a new version of Madden. Today, though, EA isn’t talking about new features or anything like that, but rather the game’s...

The video game that made singing off key cool again is back. Rock Band II will hit the Xbox 360 in September. Harmonix (the developer), MTV Games (the publisher) and EA (the distributor) all eagerly await your hard-earned money....

Songs and anthems at sporting events are quintessential for any team wanting to involve their fans in more ways than allowing them to bring flares and toilet paper to games. Apparently there’s an official Euro 2008 song called “Can...

Inspired to post because of their eco-friendly appearance on last night’s Conan O’Brien show, Radiohead is the only group that can magically spurn our headache while making us rock out. It’s uncanny…and magical. Take a breather, stop looking at...

As if the Giants didn’t have enough problems already this year with the whole lack of runs thing, it looks like they’re trying to start a holy war. Their reliever, Brian Wilson, wants to enter the game as pumped...

We want to get your afternoon “Audio Clicks” session on down and dirty steelo. First off, does Cuban Reggaeton translate to “Cubaton?” We’re sincerely curious. Secondly, what the hell is this song talking about? We can’t resist falling prey...

Rhythm deficiencies are no longer something to worry about. 1990’s British outfit, Utah Saints, were coined as the “first true stadium house band” back in the day and their revitalized prowess as an Electronica heavyweight comes via a Van She...
