FLOOD

Great year for music, terrible year for everything else.

The Brooklyn duo’s ludicrously titled second album, “You Can Catch a Lobster With Eggs But Not Egg Salad,” is out February 10.

At this point, we’ll take any excuse to celebrate.

The onetime sound guy for Portugal. The Man has a sound of his own.

The Oakland-based dream pop act brought their chill to the Original Penguin store in Chicago—sans rhythm section.

They’re almost worth trampling someone over.

The heartfelt track from last year’s “Some Kind of Champion” gets an equally heartfelt clip.

The collaborative debut from John Dufilho (The Apples in Stereo) and Brandon Carr (The Earlies) is out January 13 via Idol Records.

Some parents dress their kids up like superheroes. Some dress their kids up like athletes. But Sadie and Arlo’s parents dress them up like their favorite album covers.

The band will release Shin on November 18.

Like a New Orleans hotel is only gonna have one bar.

Look out, #33.

Featuring cover stories on M.I.A. and Wu-Tang Clan on one side, and Tenacious D (in conversation with political cartoonist Rob Rogers) and Paul Dano on the other.
