• Beatallica: Because the Beatles & Metallica Need the Money

  Ever wonder what Beatles songs done in Metallica's heavy, hyper style would sound like? Me neither. But the clever buggers in Beatallica thought this would be a smashing concept; hence the forthcoming release of Sgt. Hetfield's Motorbreath Pub Band (out July 10 on Oglio Records). The group consist of Jaymz Lennfield, Grg Hammetson, Kliff McBurtney and Ringo Larz. They put the pun in punishment. As is the case with most of these novelty projects that aren't Spinal Tap, the song titles are the m

• Indian Students Try To Make World's Biggest Sandwich

  Somewhere in Springfield, USA, Homer Simpson drools, "Mmmmmm...World's Biggest Sandwich."  But in watching this Reuters video, I'm noticing that there's a lamentable lack of meat. Surely this one's meant for Apu Nahasapeemapetilon and his friend Sir Paul McCartney.

• Five Ways To Survive the Current Economic Crisis

  BY COLE HADDONThese are tough economic times, what with the depression that's being driven by the housing crash, and skyrocketing unemployment. It's damn near impossible in such a climate to enjoy or even splurge on our hobbies and passions. Who can afford those New Kids on the Block tickets or iPods jam-packed with soundtrack-baiting Killers tracks when they can't even make their rent? Well, because care about your need to rock, we've come up with a few suggestions on how you can survive the cu

• Paul McCartney at Coachella?

  Nope, we still don't have an official Coachella lineup yet (grr), but rumored/"confirmed" names keep popping up, the most recent and notable being famed former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney.Music blog Consequence of Sound have moved him to their "confirmed" list; he's currently promoting Electric Arguments, the third album released from his "The Fireman" collaboration with producer Youth, so it's not totally out of the question though it would be, of course, sort of weird. Coachella dipped its feet

• Daily Coachella Update: Still No Lineup, but There is a Fake One

  It's getting to the point where the idea of the Coachella lineup is actually more appealing than whatever the eventual Coachella lineup will be, even if the actual lineup is really impressive. It's like Spock said, "having is not such a pleasing thing as wanting."So yeah, still no official Coachella bill, but a relatively entertaining fake one has made the rounds, with a mix of heavily rumored names (Paul McCartney, The Killers, Fleet Foxes), reasonable estimates (The Knux, She & Him, Yeasay

• Way Too Early Coachella Must-Sees

  I wanted to be the first person in the blogosphere to comment on what bands you should see at Coachella. So here goes. The Aggrolites -- LA's best white boy reggae/soul/funk band. They wear cool clothes and know how to throw a dance party. Thievery Corporation -- Maybe you know them, maybe you don't. The only time I went to Coachella (hello 2003), I saw these guys and they were great. Killer dance/groove stuff. Or maybe that was the weed talking. Superchunk -- They're still around? Bob Mou

  April 18 is Record Store Day.

• Live(ish) from Coachella: Paul McCartney Plays Nearly his Entire 50-year Catalogue

  Hey, so sorry for not being very update-y last night: my iPhone's Internet apparently decided that we were no longer on speaking terms, and I didn't have any time to make it over to the LUXURIOUS PRESS TENT! because I was too busy seeing shows, man. So allow me to make up for lost time here.Paul McCartney closed down last night, of course. Oh boy did he. He played for two and a half hours (maybe closer to 2:40?), which I think is actually pretty typical for his recent solo shows, but an eternity
