    Wire to Wire

    This track eschews the usual standard approach from rock bands where their first song from a new album is a faster -in-your-face anthem, followed by a ballad (we're looking at you, Oasis!). The song is a slow burning, piano-led track Borrel emoting as if the whole world is resting on his shoulders. Which in his mind, it is. [Similar Artists: The Kooks, Radiohead, The Clash]

    Life Is Better ft. Norah Jones

    A brilliant MC with a brillian singer. What a pair. Going straight to number one on the hip-hop R&B charts. [Similar Artists: John Legend, Tribe Called Quest, Norah Jones]
  • School Of Seven Bells

    Half Asleep

    Sweet lullabies from a band named aftr a pickpocket school in Columbia. [Similar Artists: Feist, Cocteau Twins]
  • Bon Iver

    For Emma

    Has that Neil Young shuffle feel with sould...recorded in the backwoods of Wisconsin. [Similar Artists: Band Of Horses, Neil Young]
  • Deerhunter

    Nothing Ever Happened

    Atlanta outfit that wouldn't be out of place in West London. Cool noise pop. These guys opened for a few Nine Inch Nails dates this past year. [Similar Artists: some Sloan, Radiohead, poppy Sonic Youth]

Win A Smashing Pumpkins iPod Nano!
11/19/2008

Everybody likes free stuff! So we’re giving you a shot at winning a special edition Smashing Pumpkins 8GB orange iPod Nano, which comes pre-loaded with the entire Smashing Pumpkins catalogue!

To win, you’ll have to do a little homework first. Email us a haiku, written by you, telling us why you think the Smashing Pumpkins are so cool.

You might be asking yourself, “What’s a haiku?” A haiku is a form of Japanese poetry with 17 syllables in three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables.

One lucky poet will score a Smashing Pumpkins iPod Nano and twenty lucky winners will get a copy of the new Smashing Pumpkins concert DVD, If All Goes Wrong, which is in stores now.

Now, get to work! The contest closes on Sunday, November 23rd.

And the entries keep coming! Here are some examples. (Now the question is: Can you do better?)
