Indie 103.1 is dead, at least in its terrestrial radio incarnation. This was one of the last truly great alternative stations in the country. They played a ton of new music and really broadcast original content, essentially everything K-Rock once was. The fact that they couldn't make it happen in a city like LA pretty much means the format is dead. Hello internet.

Every year music heads and hangers own descend on Austin for the South By Southwest Music Festival. It's amazing, frustrating and exhausting. You will always hear asshats say things like "it's totally changed from back in the day" but they're asshats and everyone who digs music needs to experience this at least once...so you can hate it. Should you have it in you, here are just a few of the shows you might want to check out...can i get a hell yeah?

I don't know what to think about this. If we were playing poker I'd say this is a sign of weakness but we're not, it's the music industry which is one fecal I mean fickle bitch. Download the new single from Lily Allen for free (as long as you consider your personal information free).

New Fountains of Wayne?
Tuesday 12-02-2008 12:17pm ET
Fountains Of Wayne have revealed a few details about their new album.
Bassist Adam Schlesinger recently told billboard that the band hoped to release the new album sometime in 2009.
We still have a ways to go, but we have eight songs that are
relatively close to complete now. We're looking to regroup after the
New Year and do the second batch
I think were trying some different things on this record, but
were still the same band, to me. Its kind of too early to say what
direction its going to as a whole.
