Watch the Arctic Monkeys perform a new song, “Do I Wanna Know” |Check It >>

Union Jack rockers the Arctic Monkeys have been out and about on tour fairly consistently since their last LP “Suck It And See” was released in 2011. But we haven’t heard any new material from them since “R U Mine,” a single released on last year’s Record Store Day. (more…)

Six best “Arrested Development” original songs: “Teamocil,” “Big Yellow Joint” and more |Check It >>

Dr. Funke’s 100% Natural Good Time Family Band Solution performs one of Reverb’s six best original “Arrested Development” songs. Did anyone else catch this snarky headline from the Atlantic Wire, “NPR Has Watched ‘Arrested Development’ More Closely Than You”? It’s an article in which the Atlantic Wire rather jadedly compares its own “Arrested...

Watch: Solange and the Lonely Island collaborate on the song, “Semicolon” |Check It >>

YouTube’s comedy week continues with a collaboration between singer Solange and the comedy musical troupe the Lonely Island from “Saturday Night Live” fame. This newest video is called “Semicolon,” in which the Lonely Island showcases their use of semicolons; the song includes raps like, “When you see me better; Frogger.” Then Solange comes in with a chorus...

Yo La Tengo at the Boulder Theater, 5-21-13 (photos, review) |Check It >>

When you walk into a show that is advertised as “An Evening with” you ought to expect something out of the ordinary, which is exactly what veteran indie-rock band Yo La Tengo delivered at the Boulder Theater Tuesday night. With around 30 years experience and 13 albums to its name, Yo Le Tango has continually been a favorite of critics and fans with a sprawling, eclectic brand of music. However,...

Watch Sarah Silverman’s song with will.i.am, “Perfect Night” |Check It >>

Sarah Silverman and will.i.am have released a song about staying in. Comedian Sarah Silverman‘s idea of a perfect night doesn’t involve bumping beats at a club, expensive cars or an excess of drugs and alcohol. Rather, Silverman reaches out to the lazy homebody in all of us with her newly released single “Perfect Night,” featuring Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am. The song...

Vampire Weekend at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, 5-20-13 (photos, review) |Check It >>

When Vampire Weekend first played Red Rocks shortly after the release of their self-titled, debut album, the band was humbled, misty eyed even, in front of the hulking mountain venue. And in terms of attitude, Vampire Weekend didn’t seem much different on Monday in front of a sold out amphitheater — it’s not becoming of the scholarly Columbia boys to show a big ego. (more…)

Telekinesis at the Hi-Dive, 5-20-13 (review) |Check It >>

Michael Benjamin Lerner and his band Telekinesis drew an unusually large crowd for a Monday night at the Hi-Dive. The Seattle five piece played just under an hour of pre-psychedelic, Beatles-esque indie-pop to a nearly filled house, while most everyone sang along. Lerner sat wrapped in his drum kit at the front of the stage. Surrounded by the band, he belted out sweet bits of emotional pop with hooks...

When you walk into a show that is advertised as “An Evening with” you ought to expect something out of the ordinary, which is exactly what veteran indie-rock band Yo La Tengo delivered at the Boulder Theater Tuesday night.

With around 30 years experience and 13 albums to its name, Yo Le Tango has continually been a favorite of critics and fans with a sprawling, eclectic brand of music. However, even for a band known for unpredictability and range of sound, they stepped onto the stage at the Boulder Theater in a unexpectedly quiet manner, with just two acoustic guitars and a snare brush.

Arrested Development

Dr. Funke’s 100% Natural Good Time Family Band Solution performs one of Reverb’s six best original “Arrested Development” songs.

Did anyone else catch this snarky headline from the Atlantic Wire, “NPR Has Watched ‘Arrested Development’ More Closely Than You”? It’s an article in which the Atlantic Wire rather jadedly compares its own “Arrested Development” info graphic to NPR’s. Come on!? The fandom surrounding the return of the well-loved and short-lived Fox comedy has finally culminated into boy fights between bitter members of the media.

It’s been seven years since “Arrested Development” was canceled after three short, brilliant seasons, and during that time we’ve had nothing better to do than sit and obsess over those 53 episodes. But what’s missing in the many lists of favorite running gags and favorite moments is an appreciation for the show’s original music.
