Music News Highlights

The new R. Kells album, Double UP, got a 6.7 rating on Pitchfork.

The Fork also reports on Iggy Pop, Jeff Tweedy and Frank Black’s participation in Comedy Central’s new show Lil’ Bush. Hopefully that show is better than the previews indicate…

Jarvis Cocker is not real huge on American Idol brought to you by Gigwise.

NME reports that Sufjan’s next piece of music will be about the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. Next exit: wtf.

Out today: Architecture in Helsinki - Heart it Races (Includes covers by Dr. Dog and Hey Willpower!), Shellac - Excellent Italian Greyhound, Tiffany - Just Me

Why do I look like Cher now?

Do you ever find yourself wondering what Grizzly Bear’s “Knife” sounds like a cappella by the Carleton Singing Knights?

R Kelly. One word: Peetastic! I can’t wait for Trapped in the Closet, part II. It’s a cliffhanger being forced to waiit so long for it.

  6.7 IÂ’ve been putting off this review for a couple of weeks now. I was thinking, all of this time, that Jenni would turn out to be bland Â– another pretty girl with a bad habit of playing guitar. 1.76 songs into The Fourth EP, her debut out on Clickpop Records, Jenni convinced me that [...]

Furthermore, as technology advances [...]
