Last Thursday at about 4:45pm , I got an email in my inbox from Ryan @ Swim Drink Fish saying that there was an opportunity for a brief interview with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

So who was in the offices of ExploreMusic.com yesterday? Melissa Auf Der Maur. When I asked her about Courtney Love’s plans for her, she said this:

Most people understand that Jack White doesn’t sleep. If he’s not doing something with the White Stripes, he’s on the road with the Raconteurs.

For whatever reason, I get plenty of requests from people who want to interview me about…something.

Alan, George, and Wade went to the Hard Rock Cafe in Toronto to have a few drinks and talk about things. At some point, they got onto the whole topic of vinyl.

It’s no secret that I have very eclectic taste in music and that I tend to lean toward the jamband side of things. Interestingly enough though, one of my favorite bands is not a jamband at all.

ExploreMusic’s Mike Sullivan caught up with bassist Kyle Johnson of Misery Signals before their show in Regina, Canada.

You don’t hear much about Derek Trucks cause he’s one of these dudes that toils in near obscurity, but is probably one of the most significant guitar players of the current generation.

Along with Metallica and Slipknot, Lamb Of God is pretty much the biggest metal band going these days.
