Beck - Modern Guilt

Beck has had an interesting career in my book. After all, how could an artist top themselves once they gave us one of the most defining songs of a decade, which would be “Loser” of course.

The Melvins - Nude With Boots

Scott, from The Rock Dose and Metal Martyr, was awesome enough to send me this about the new Melvins album, which comes out today.

Blur to Reunite?

Could Blur possibly be joining the seemingly endless slew of disbanded 90’s acts who want to give it another go?

Understanding the FLAC Audio File Format

Okay, so you’ve recorded your album, had it mixed and probably pressed some cd’s.

This song is dedicated to Lindsay Lohan, since it’s her birthday and all.

Not to mention that it was on this day in 1776 that the Continental Congress declared independence from Great Britain, however, the Declaration of Independence wasn’t adopted until July 4. I already knew that little fun fact, seriously. So, just make your 4th of July festivities start two days earlier.
