09.28.08Loudersoft Says @#$% Weezer | Chicago Pop-Punk Legends Smoking Popes Are Back And Better Than Ever(Ed. Note: I'm reposting this with updated information, so if it looks like you've read this, you have -- but now you can go buy the record) I'm so sick and tired of all the bullshit, aren't you? I am so tired of being force-fed the idea that clowning on a style that you used to do is supposed to be clever and cool. Weezer's completely over-hyped and under-delivering 2008 release, aka the Red Album, is getting one mention in this column and one only: every time you see another article hyping Weezer, remember that there's a conspiracy out ...

09.28.08INTERVIEW: Aimee Mann at Bonnaroo 2008Aimee Mann Interview - Bonnaroo 2008 from E.J. Friedman on Vimeo. Some things happened over the summer. Some things I did at Bonnaroo for another publication have gone unused and, honestly, I don't know or care why. After all, Bonnaroo happens in June and this is almost October. In this high-speed webmatic world of ours, some of that content is starting to collect cobswebs; however, I'm going to try and put as much of it up as I can & if anyone has a complaint, they can find me. I'm still here. I value my work ...

09.27.08Listen: New Britney – Womanizer (First Single)Ok readers, don't think I've jumped off the deep end here. I am not a Britney Spears fan. Never have been. That's why it's so weird that I really love this new song she just released as her new single -- so much so that I'm reblogging this post from Pretty Much Amazing which contains said new track, "Womanizer". It's a vast departure from her recent string of mediocrity, way more accessible, and much more confident. Good for you, Brit-Brit. Welcome back. Enjoy it while you can & thanks to Pretty Much Amazing for posting it. Listen: New ...

09.26.08COMO NOW in Memphis at Levitt Shell Tonight! September 26thI just haven't had the time this week to properly mention and promote this wonderful show. You need, and I do mean need to be at the Levitt Shell @ Overton Park tonight for COMO NOW. This press release is culled directly from a press release, but the music speaks quite for itself. Enjoy & I hope to see you tonight. COMO NOW: The Voices of Panola Co., MS, the latest release from Daptone Records (and first that moves away from the Brooklyn funk and soul) continues to get rave reviews from critics all over. Says Grant Alden ...

09.25.08The new Oasis album Dig Out Your Soul is phenomenal | The post in which I treat Loudersoft like it’s TumblrI don't have a lot of time this morning to give it a proper overview, but I can honestly say this: if for many a year it has seemed to you (as it has to me) like Liam and Noel have been on about nothing when calling themselves "geniuses" or "brilliant", their luck has turned (and thankfully, so has ours). Dig Out Your Soul is by far the finest new recording by Oasis in over a decade. I have enjoyed listening to it repeatedly over the last few days & plan to spend time telling you more about ...

09.21.08Burnlounge 3.0 | The Pyramid Scheme That Just Won’t DieWe've never been a fan of the Burnlounge v.1.0 or 2.0 (aka the "pyramid scheme" versions in which "store owners" were bilked of hundreds of thousands of dollars that they've never recouped). We've been infiltrated by Kool-aid sippers repeatedly defending the illicit financial practices of the once-notorious (and we thought dismantled) pyramid scheme, several of whose "store owners" were the subject of successful lawsuits filed by the Federal Trade Commission. Their CEO resigned in disgrace. Their website has been down for months now and most people figured that was that. So what does Burnlounge have up ...

09.21.08WIN! Loudersoft presents the “Design Your Drugs” contest | Win Jenny Lewis’ Acid Tongue on Vinyl!Druggies, hipsters and others, take note of this contest. It's going to be fun. Jenny Lewis has a new album called Acid Tongue which, pretty much, speaks for itself. If you've taken it, you know more than I do about it. If you haven't, some people say listening to this album can induce a feeling which emulates the experience of tripping on acid. Either way, Loudersoft is thrilled to offer up the "Design Your Drugs" contest, giving you a chance to win your *very own* limited-edition copy of Acid Tongue on high-quality, 180 Gram vinyl ...

09.20.08Album of the moment: Chad VanGaalen’s Soft AirplaneI wonder what it is about Canadian artists that continue to exude massive appeal to my ears. Among my favorites of the past decade, I count names like Julie Doiron, Joel Plaskett, Leslie Feist, A-Trak, Chromeo, and too many more to name off the top of my head. In a group of names like that, I might have forgotten about Chad VanGaalen except for he doesn't let me. Thanks to an opportunity to catch him at the Sub Pop showcase at CMJ a couple of years back, I became an instant fan. His newest release, Soft Airplane ...
