Latest comment by: Tim Hanken: "Postal Service helped to kick off the whole indie/electronic collaboration, where as DCfC just keep making emo records cleverly disguised as indie rock. To Eric’s point, I think a new PS record would be disappointing and wouldn’t have the same “this is ...

Latest comment by: Betsy Boston: "P.S., Every time I look at the title of this song, I think of Grandaddy's "Nature Anthem," which is an all-time favorite song of mine, so after you listen to "Natural Anthem" by The Postal Service for a while, go listen to Grandaddy and watch their OMG WICKED ...

Let the Halloween video parade begin: Sonic Youth, Smoosh, Beck, Arcade Fire unite!

Here's a video put out a while back from The North American Halloween Prevention Initiative. It's kinda weird and it was hard to get my brain around it before the morning muffin... but it features a ton of awesomeness in the line-up -- and that's good enough for me.
