  • The Walkmen Announce Indefinite Hiatus

    The Walkmen have been a band for 14 years, and apparently, that might be the point in which they call it quits as a band, but it's not an official breakup. Peter Bauer told The Washington Post, "We have no future plans whatsoever. I'd call it a pretty extreme hiatus."

  • Jack White's Third Man Records Releases New Guitar Pedal for Black Friday

  • The National and 'Bob's Burgers'' New Video: "Sailors in Your Mouth"

    Brooklyn rockers The National have teamed up with Fox's comedy Bob's Burgers to create a video just in time for the gravy-filled holidays, "Sailors in Your Mouth."

It's bizarrely entrancing, as the band (in the form of gravy) spill out of the gravy boat, captained by frontman Matt Berninger.

It does seem like a bizarre tradition, but for Morrissey, it's way more than that.
