Street Sweeper, "Clap For The Killers"

Street Sweeper puts together two of my favorite things: Rage Against the Machine and the Coup, and the results don't disappoint.

"Clap for the Killers" is from the free promotional NINJA Tour Sampler. Unlike other past Nine Inch Nails free releases, this one doesn't feel like a collection of demos and B-sides. The contributions from Jane's Addiction are solid as well. Definitely worth grabbing while it's available.

Rage Agaist Jesus

Just last week we were wondering what ol' Zack de la Rocha was up to these days, and then on Monday, the LA Times busts off the good news that Rage Against the Machine are reuniting to headline the Coachella festival in April.

And then the BBC tells us yesterday that The Jesus and Mary Chain are playing the same festival. It's only January, and the Ticket of the Year is already a lock.
