Grandaddy : Just Like The Fambly Cat : Summer…It’s Gone

Friday Free-Style

The Shins will be at the Atlanta Civic Center on October 17th. Tickets go on sale at 10am tomorrow. I think Wincing The Night Away is one of the most overrated albums of 2007 and also one of the most underrated albums of 2007. Vids:

Speaking of early 2007 albums you might have forgot about, The Apples In Stereo will be playing at Park Tavern September 23rd for free thanks to 99x sponsorship in a series called Unplugged In The Park. From an epic episode of a great TV show:

PJ Harvey‘s new album, White Chalk, is in stores on September 25th.

Daft Punk has an official live album coming soon.

Here’s a recent Kanye West with Peter John And Bjorn backing him performance:

In case you’re keeping score, Jay-Z is the richest rapper.

Ryan Adams claims he has stopped snorting heroin and cocaine together.

How about some interviews:
