Summer Dregs and the Scooter Riding Robot

Chattanooga’s Summer Dregs took a stab at Neon Indian’s “Mind, Drips” here with surprising success.

Neon Indian : “Mind, Drips (Summer Dregs Remix)” (mp3)

SXSW: State of Music Blogs in 2010, Part 15

This is an interview series in preparation for my SXSW Panel: The State of Music Blogs in 2010. I reached out to a number of influencers, musicans, labels, marketers and music fans to get their perspectives on the topic and will be posting these in a series leading up to the conference.

BRMC: Interview with Robert Levon Been

Only Son pulls a rope out of a hat, climbs it

Check out this new video from New York-based Only Son, directed by Adria Petty.

I love the rope-climbing concept at 1:15, although personally, I always sucked at climbing the ropes in gym class.

The White Stripes new Under Great Northern Lights box set looks sweet

I already own every White Stripes album — most on CD and vinyl — and probably 20 live concert bootlegs. But this live album/DVD set looks too good to pass up…
