Check out these guys. A supergroup made from A-ha, Coldplay and Mew called ‘Apparatjik’. They love letting their fans contribute to their music, and in return give away a lot of their material for free. Check them out on Facebook and you can download a version of their new album for free. I’m sure you’ll enjoy them. And if you don’t…well…Levin Koo does, so I’ll just get excited with him.

news of the Smashing Pumpkins re-issuing their catalogue on record is very exciting. Back in the day only a few thousand copies of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness were released. A 2012 plus already.

On Sept. 21, 2011, alternative-rock pioneers R.E.M. announced they were calling it quits after more than 30 years together. So in honor of the iconic band, here are a bunch of cool photos of them mugging for the camera over the years.
Pictured: In 1983, from left, Michael Stipe, Mike Mills, Peter Buck, and Bill Berry.
