Garbage’s new album Strange Little Birds isn’t due until June, but the band recently shared the first single from their new sessions: the dark and soul-baring rocker, “Empty.” Long known for their post-industrial, tricked-out rhythms and electronic-pop melodies, the band’s new material is set to have the back-to-basics feel found on their self-titled debut 20 years ago. The…
Last night, I finally got the chance to sit down with Dave Grohl’s 2013 documentary (and directorial debut) about Sound City Studios, a studio responsible for so many legendary albums from Fleetwood Mac, Nirvana, Tom Petty, Pat Benatar, Rage Against the Machine, and countless others. The film, simply titled Sound City, chronicles the studio’s early…
It’s no surprise that I think Garbage is one of the best rock bands in recent music history. (No, really. We should all be bowing down to their excellence on a daily basis.) Gushing aside, it’s important that great bands be able to pull off great covers – and Garbage has accomplished this with new…
When the Foo Fighters set out to record their latest release, Wasting Light, frontman Dave Grohl and his bandmates went old school, digging the art of analog from its grave and recording straight to tape. No computers, no bells, no whistles. With the upcoming Rock-Doc Sound City, Grohl is still celebrating analog from the vantage…

Hey now – it’s another presumptuous and pretentious Top 10 of 2011 list! Well…yeah. Fuck you. But how can I not? In true Littlest Winslow form, this post is being presented all 2012-style. But hey – last year I posted this in March. (Really, Nick? Fucking March? I couldn’t be bothered to type something up…
Countdown to new Foo: 4 days! VH1 is airing the brand spankin’ new Foo Fighters documentary (titled Back and Forth) tonight at 10pm. Directed by James Moll, the doc will cover the band’s history and is interspersed with interviews, concert footage, and more awesome Foo-ness. Academy Award winning documentary filmmaker James Moll will chronicle the…
So The Subways – why aren’t they huge yet, dammit!? The first album, “Young For Eternity” was badass. The second album, “All or Nothing,” even moreso. They’re a trio, with male-fronted vocals by Billy Lunn. Female bassist Charlotte Cooper sings as well; Josh Morgan rounds out the trio on drums. They’re good shit – standard…
After watching Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles this week, (click here and here) I reached an astounding realization: I MISS GARBAGE. Although I’m glad Shirley told her label to shove it when they shelved her solo record (“I’m not interested in getting up in a short skirt and singing a pop song.”), I must admit:…
