    Less Than Stellar: The Ten Worst Supergroups of All Time

    What's the deal with supergroups? They're rarely as great as the sum of their parts, or able to overcome the ghosts of bands past. Even the most commercially successful all-star bands usually fail on a musical level. Can they simply not live up to the hype? Or, as The Guardian proposed in this 2009 ... More >>

    The National and The Beatles Tops The Boxer Rebellion's iTunes Q&A

    As opposed to our favorite songs, or songs we'd like to think define our listening habits, taking a look at what a person actually listens to can be far more revealing. With that in mind, every Wednesday we ask an artist to take a look at the most-played songs in their iTunes libraries and share wit ... More >>

    Say What?!: The Nine Weirdest Feuds in Music

    Do you ever hear of musicians feuding and scratch your head, saying, "huh?" Like, why are these people even talking about each other? I'm not talking about Oasis vs. Blur or Azealia Banks vs. Kreayshawn-- those make sense. They're working in the same sphere, and it's only natural that they don't lik ... More >>

    Where Does Murray Stenson's Nickname Come From?

    ​Ever wonder how everybody's favorite bartender, Murray Stenson, came about his nickname, Murr the Blur? Over cocktails last week at Oliver's, Stenson, the Zig Zag vet who now slings drinks at Canon, informed Voracious that the moniker is derived from a speedy Kentucky-bred racehorse who finis ...

    Rumors of the Zig Zag's Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated

    In the months since Seattle's favorite bartender, Murray Stenson, left the Zig Zag to pursue other opportunities, hysterical tweets and other innuendo would lead the casual observer to believe the classy Pike Street Hillclimb bar had fallen into a hopeless rut without its superstar mixologist. Bull ... More >>

    Why Not Spend Three Hours of Your Day Watching Documentaries about Brit Pop and Pulp's Class Anxiety Anthem "Common People"?

    Yesterday, I fell down one of those wonderful Internet rabbit holes that ends up eating your entire day, and now I'd like to share the time suck with the fine readers of Reverb. It started, as these things do, with a blog post, this keen lyrical analysis of Pulp's "Common People" by the Gaurdian U ... More >>

    Mumm-Ra Mysteriously Trumps Megadeth

    It says a great deal about the potency of a pop song when it can erase a Megadeth fixation from my head.
