Last week we brought you news of Justin Timberlake‘s somewhat cryptic announcement that he’s returning to music. The announcement came in the form of a tweet, which linked to the singer’s site, which contained a short teaser video of Timberlake explaining his emotional investment in his musical output, and proclamation that he’s ready to return.…
It’s been a spectacularly busy week here at No Country. Even reading this recap list is a bit of an undertaking, so we don’t fault you if you missed a feature or two. As always, we appreciate all of you reading, sharing, and commenting on the site and we’re eager to continue to grow along with…
2013 is shaping up to be the year of unexpected comeback, apparently! First Bowie, then The Postal Service, and now we’ve got two more for you: this morning ’90s/’00s darlings Justin Timberlake AND Destiny’s Child made unrelated announcements of new music! Timberlake’s last release was 2006’s critical and commercial breakout FutureSex/LoveSounds. The singer has…
In this week’s Music on Television post, I named the Pope of Mope’s Tuesday night stop on Letterman as the performance not to miss.

If this was The Hobbit, Gollum would be allowed to eat me now (shoutout to my nerds!). (UPDATE: Andrew has a guess that…
Hailing from Los Angeles, there’s one thing about The Young Rapscallions that you’ll probably notice right off the bat, so I’ll go ahead and get it out of the way: yes, that’s actor Chris Mintz-Plasse (from Superbad, Role Models, Kick-Ass, etc) on drums. No, this isn’t some Mintz-Plasse vanity project and no, it’s not some attempt for…
Current Grammy nominees The Black Keys have just been confirmed to perform live at the 55th annual awards in Los Angeles. Last month we brought you news that the band has been nominated for Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Best Rock Performance, Best Rock Song, Best Rock Album, and Producer of…
This show isn’t until Thursday, but since I’m about to make the case for a 3 hour drive through Alabama, I wanted to give you a couple of days to plan for it. You might remember how much I loved Forgetters‘ self-titled debut LP back in November. At the time, just the record alone…
