Deerhoof: 'Deerhoof vs. Evil'new
Deerhoof have always been something of an art-rock superhero team, and with their 11th LP, the excellently named Deerhoof vs. Evil, they’re making it their mission to crush evil with their 1-2-3 punch of twee vocals, guitar pyrotechnics, and rapid-fire stylistic shifts.

'Watchmen' Star Jackie Earle Haley on Rorschach, Living in San Antonio, and Being a Badassnew
While Watchmen director Zack Snyder’s credentials or Matthew Goode’s accent as ubermensch ex-hero Ozymandias provoked staggering amounts of internet bitching, the casting of Jackie Earle Haley generated nothing but fanboy praise, adulation, and high hopes for the adaptation that many decried as impossible.

Vampire Weekend Creates Afro-Pop for the Ivy Leaguenew
Despite its convoluted heritage (or maybe because of it -- hey, those are some good genes!), Vampire Weekend sounds remarkably fresh and fun instead of painfully derivative.

'In Rainbows' Wears 'More Rock' Crownnew
It's kind of funny that every Radiohead album released post-Kid A has been heralded as the group's "return to rock" -- as though Thom Yorke's dips into electronic music and jazz have only delayed what we really want to hear: more versions of "High and Dry."
