Sun Jan 28, 2007 9:43 PM EST

When "Terd" Nugent -- affectionately known as the "Nooooge" by legions of imbeciles who mistake the Ultimate Fighting Championship cage for the rock stage -- isn't being a total racist @!$%#, do you think he just hangs out in a suvival bunker shooting flaming crossbow arrows at …

Mon Jan 22, 2007 5:02 PM EST

Fri Dec 22, 2006 8:53 PM EST

Even though Sonic Youth didn't use famed avant-garde music producer Jim O'Rourke on this album as in the past, John Agnello does a great job keeping the "Murray Street" and "Sonic Nurse" vibe continuing along...which is a good thing. No, which is a GREAT thing.

Beck - The Information - (music reviews)

Tue Dec 5, 2006 6:52 PM EST

"1, 2, You know what to do" and "Elevator Music" kicks in on the new Beck album. It's good. It picks up where Guero left off. A little more organic sounding. Not quite as whacky (until the 11 minute closing track "The Horrible Fanfare/Landslide/Exoskeleton").
