String Cheese Incident Scalps $20,000 Of Own Tickets In Battle With Ticketmaster
16 May 2012 | 8:58 amContinuing their ongoing battle with Ticketmaster, jam rockers String Cheese Incident sent 50 fans to the box office of LA's Greek theater armed with $20,000 in cash from the band.

U. S. Approval Of Universal EMI Purchase A Toss-Up, Say Anti-Trust Experts
16 May 2012 | 7:43 amU.S. approval of Universal's EMI purchase is a toss-up, according to a Reuters survey of anti-trust experts: "Eight antitrust experts interviewed about the issue were divided about the chances for approval, largely because the music landscape has changed so much in recent years that it is not clear that a deal that would concentrate 40% of the recorded music industry in one company would harm competition." "Ten years ago, the labels had power. Today they don't have any power. If they (the U.S. Federal Trade Commission) block it, it's just because they don't understand the market," Daniel…

DOWNLOAD: Sonny & The Sunsets - I See The Void
16 May 2012 | 10:58 amSan Francisco group Sonny & The Sunsets, led by musician and songwriter Sonny Smith, has released two albums, each showcasing his introspective, vintage musical tendencies. Now the band will release its third LP, Longtime Companion, on June 26 via Polyvinyl – a collection of songs that Smith has described as country. “I See The Void" certainly has twang, rounding out its acoustic sparkle with Smith’s pensive drawl.

In layman’s terms? Massive, moody, black forest pop that you should know about. Here, lead song “It’s All Okay” from her upcoming solo effort is given a dip by angel-cum-ethereal-musician Active Child, whose subtle take is all organic swells, tinkling choir strains and cathedral-shaking bass. All okay, indeed, especially when By All The Horns comes out on… -

The album, a follow-up to the New Jersey band’s 2010 debut The Unmistakable Man, expands upon the group’s sparkling, thoughtful indie rock ethos. “If You Need Me Back In Brooklyn,” the record’s flagship single, is a pensive, slow-building track garnished with horn accompaniment and led by Joe Michelini’s affecting croon.

DOWNLOAD: Pond - Tears Of A Clown (Smokey Robinson & The Miracles Cover)

Side A: satiny Motown love. Side B: melodic discord, scratched raw with psychedelic guitars and a jetsam back. It’s a pre-punk groove in a post-punk world. Deep, no? Pond’s latest and greatest is out on Modular now. Pond - Tears Of A Clown (cover) by modularpeople

Dirty Disney cartoons? [video]
16 May 2012 | 1:16 pmIt’s hard to imagine Disney cartoons have ever been the subject of censorship, but like many beloved cartoons, there’s a seamier side that’s bound to offend if you get the references. Such was the case with “The Shindig” where Clarabelle Cow’s exposed udders were deemed too risqué for Ohio audiences as was her reading material; Three Weeks was an early example of “women’s mass market erotic fiction.” As the old saying goes, "What happens in the barn, stays in the barn."

Mammals may not get to cool climates in time
16 May 2012 | 12:09 pmNine percent of the Western Hemisphere’s mammals—and up to 40 percent in some regions—may not be able to outpace climate change. “I think it’s important to point out that in the past when climates have changed—between glacial and interglacial periods when species ranges contracted and expanded—the landscape wasn’t covered with agricultural fields, four-lane highways and parking lots, so species could move much more freely across the landscape,” says Joshua Lawler, associate professor of environmental and forest sciences at University of… -
