Coachella 2011 Round-Up: Day 3
Mon Apr 18 2011 by Becky Bain
After three days of roaming the desert at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, we're tired, we're sunburned, and mostly, we're overwhelmed with all the amazing music we saw performed live this weekend. It would be easy to say that Kanye West's powerhouse three-act set on the main stage Sunday night was the highlight of the whole weekend... which is good, because we're exhausted, and we don't want to do anything too trying. Check out all the highlights from Sunday's lineup, and yes, most of those highlights came during West's 140-minute stage spectacular.

CSS’ Creative Path Is Littered With The Corpses Of Bygone Alt-Rock Stars
Wed Apr 30 2008 by Maura
Those of you who lived through the ’90s, when “alternative music” broke and was subsequently broken, may remember the unfortunate cycle endured by a few bands who stormed out of the gate with a strong first single: The song would be inescapable, the album would be mostly decent, and the follow-up… More »
Monolith Festival Seemingly Comfortable With Indie-Intensive Lineup
Wed Apr 30 2008 by anthonyjmiccio
A festival with Justice and Devotchka as the headliners? Where’s the Jay-Z or Joe Jackson? Where’s the Weiland? The ironically named Monolith Festival, which will hit Red Rocks Ampitheater on Sept. 13 and 14, is keeping the scale kind of small, but kind of awesome as well. TV On The Radio, CSS, Del The Funkee Homosapien, and bands with even less name recognition may not pull in the suburbanites, but it should make for an enjoyable show. Lineup after the jump.

CSS Inadvertently Implicated In Gaming Of YouTube Charts
Wed Mar 5 2008 by Maura
The above clip for Cansei de Ser Sexy’s “Music Is My Hot, Hot Sex” isn’t an official clip by the Brazilian glitch outfit–it was made by an Italian music blogger who decided to take some viral-video contest footage and set it to the song that was made middlingly famous by an iPod Touch ad a few months back. Somehow, the clip has become the most-watched video in the history of YouTube, racking up 89,750,739 views and overtaking the (really stupid) “Evolution Of Dance” for the top spot. Lest you think that this success is a testament to the power of Apple’s music placement, Andy Baio at waxy.org is here to let you know: The clip may have actually cheated its way to the top. No, really. This is what the world has come to, everyone.
