Chris Brown has been ordered back to anger management rehab for three more months. On November 10, Brown was booted from the rehab center that he checked himself into for violating their non-violence policies.

I didn't get a chance to see Shannon & The Clams' when they passed through my hometown of St. Augustine last week, and few things could make me regret it more than the band's absolutely bonkers new video "Rat House." Read More »
Grimes be Tumblin'. Every time we turn around it seems like the Canadian bleep-blooper is taking to her tumblog and unloading both barrells into some unsuspecting a--hats. At least she's always entertaining. The latest group to feel her wrath are dogmatic vegans who trashed the artist for cheating on her dietary restrictions with a pint of Ben & Jerry's "Scotchy Scotch Scotch." Read More »
It's time to seek out the number of that shady co-worker who always had strong, because Mastodon are getting ready to drop a new album.

Anyone who has heard Bethany Cosentino wail on "No One Like You" knows that some of Best Coast's best tracks are best experienced on the tail-end of a bad break-up. It should come as no surprise, then, that she appreciates the work of fellow sad musician Drake and expects his Nothing Was The Same to have quite an impact on her new album. Read More »
Until now I wanted to believe. Sure, "Work Bitch" was terrible. Sure, "Brightest Morning Star" didn't sound any better. But I wanted to believe that Britney Spears would not let the corrupting influence of Will.i.am turn her new album Britney Jean into a lowest common denominator-pandering sh*tshow of Apl de Ap proportions.

Kanye West is at it again, dropping yet another rant at the first of two Barclay's Center Yeezus shows in Brooklyn. This time there was no screaming, and Yeezy actually made quite a bit of sense. Read More »
Last year, Joey Bada$$ garnered a lot of unwarranted praise for his Golden Age-aping all style, no substance mixtape 1999. Fellow dollar sign connoisseurs A$AP Mob must have taken notice, because their next collaborative effort will have a '90s throwback sound, according to A$AP Ferg. Read More »
Only an artist as delightfully absurd as Action Bronson could name a song after the victim of a horrific NYPD shooting and make the resulting track and video so much fun to watch. Bam Bam shouts out MTV Unplugged (a note for younger readers: this was a show in which popular artists would perform acoustic renditions of their songs for a live audience), having his go-to producer Party Supplies play the Blue Chips 2 tracks' Tracy Chapman sample while he smokes weed and lets loose a string of non-sequiturs.

I would never say this to her face because she would undoubtedly kick my ass but...Kathleen Hanna is GD adorable. And she only got more so in her 5-10-15-20 interview with Pitchfork. In the piece (which asks artists to talk about music that affected their lives, five years at a time) the riot grrrl pioneer revealed that she learned to sing from cornball TV mainstays Donny & Marie Osmond - of whom she was a huge fan Read More »
