• David Letterman freaks out after seeing The Orwells perform, demands an encore

    It's starting to become pretty clear what kind of music gets 66-year-old David Letterman hyped up: high-energy garage rock. We first noticed it when Letterman freaked out over Cage the Elephant's performance of "Come A Little Closer" on the Late Show last year. Now he's at it again with Chicago rockers The Orwells, who happened to be one of our first Tuesdays Under 21 featured artists. They made their network television debut last night on the Late Show, performing the lively title track of their latest EP, Who Needs You.

  • Appeals Judge upholds conviction of Michael Jackson's doctor

    A California appellate court has upheld Dr. Conrad Murray's conviction in the case of Michael Jackson's death, verifying the death was a case of involuntary manslaughter, according to The Washington Post.

  • Lively aims to make any concert you just saw available for download

    Live albums are a hit-or-miss endeavor. For every 23-minute version of "Whipping Post," there's going to be five other acts that play all the hits you'd hear on the actual album, except with the annoyance of screaming fans blotting the sound of the guitars out. We have to admit, having attended many an excellent concert, that having the chance to own a recorded version of the very gig you just attended is an appealing prospect. It's not a new concept: Bands such as The Grateful Dead and Pearl Jam always encouraged their fans to self-record and trade bootlegs of live shows. One company is looking to make a profit out of offering downloads of the show you just saw. Nearly any show.

Most recently we learned that President Barack Obama is a fan of West's music despite having had beef with him in the past. Now, thanks to an interview with NPR, we've learned that Bruce Springsteen is also a fan of Yeezus.

    In the beginning of October we reported that The Dead Weather would release a series of new singles leading up to a new album in 2015. We heard the first track of the series, the ghoulish garage-blues rocker "Open Up (That's Enough)" back in December, but now the band has released the B-side "Rough Detective."
