Things to look forward to... →
New albums from Fiona Apple, Mazzy Star, Tool, U2, Three Six Mafia and Blanche in 2012?  Should be an interesting year.  And maybe just maybe (fingers crossed) we’ll finally hear that new album from Dr. Dre, too.

Best Cover Songs of 2011 →
Here are Paste Magazine’s submissions…we think they left out all of Eef Barzelay’s covers this year (including all of those Journey covers!) but that’s okay…these are all pretty cool, too.

We sold so many copies of this all weekend…Black Keys vs. Adele’s “21” for favorite holiday gift?  Or were people just shopping for themselves, we wondered?

Nate dropped by Plan 9 in Carytown the other day…but it just wasn’t the same as the days he used to set up in front of our store and rock out.  We miss those days! soundsofrva: Support Gull’s quest to Africa, which will be a project focused on street music around the world. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/838772288/street-muse-project

Bass is the new black. →
What do you get when you add 2 bass players + 1 drummer + some awesome?  Check out Kid is Qual if you haven’t heard them yet…a fuzzy, bass-driven dance band from RVA.  They completely rocked Ghost of Pop 7 on Saturday night…sorry if you missed it!  Go see them soon!
