Brand New Blog Ahoy: BAD COVER VERSIONS!
A New Band A Day celebrates creativity, daring and cunning. Rock, however, doesn’t do a lot of cunning, and even less creativity. What it does do is a lot of is stupid, as demonstrated by the truly dreadful decisions made when bands start to cover other band’s songs. Evidence?

Newsflashes (Phoenix, Hold Steady, and more)

Phoenix In addition a ridicuously cool album title, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, and some Royal Tenebaums looking promo art, French art-rockers Phoenix now have a release date (March 25) and a new single called “1901″.  From the looks of things, this will be no doubt be one of the albums of the year. The new song...
