Sonic Youth Take Manhattan, Dis Radiohead

Earlier this week, Matador released The Sonik Youth's 16th album The Eternal. You've probably heard it, and if you enjoyed it you should know that the band (now with 100% Mark Ibold) will take it cross-country this summer (tour dates after the jump). One setlist fixture is sure to be Kim-sung Eternal opener "Sacred Trickster," which the band road tested in two intimate NYC venues this week: Apple Store SoHo (Tuesday) and Ed Sullivan Theater (Wednesday). We've got photos of the former, video of the latter, and an MP3 for your iPhone 3GS.

Courtney Love Does Not Approve Of Ryan Adams/Mandy Moore Union

thumbnail: Courtney Love Does Not Approve Of Ryan Adams/Mandy Moore Union

As far as Courtney's Internet rants go, this latest one is fairly straightforward. It's even got punctuation. Anyway, she's still pissed at Ryan Adams, who she claims stole Frances Bean's trust fund. With MySpace at Courtney's disposal, not even Ryan's wife Mandy Moore is safe. Nor is ... Kathleen Hanna?

Psychedelic Horseshit Hates On Wavves, No Age, TVOTR

Well, at least main Horseshittter Matt Whitehurst does. The following interview he did with the Washington Post is a few weeks old, but Brooklyn Vegan unearthed it today and we thought it was too amusing not to share, especially because, as mentioned, Wavves is such a polarizing figure. Whitehurst also goes on a one-man mission about the popularization of lo-fi (Robert Pollard just pointed at his 1992 calendar), but seems to forget that he took part in that MTV's dorky intro-to-lo-fi spot last year, along with No Age and sundry other acts who've since become more popular. Still, I do like Psychedelic Horseshit OK and it makes for good reading, especially because not enough bands harsh on each other in print these days.

Peaches Disses Radiohead!!1! In response to being told that "Fuck The Pain Away" allegedly influenced In Rainbows, the electroclash musician tells Out, "Actually once I was at an award show and I had to give Radiohead an award and they weren't very friendly." OUCH. Peaches obviously learned nothing from Mileygate.

Will Oldham Has Beef With Wes Anderson, Apparently? In an interview, the Bonnie one says Anderson has a "completely cancerous approach to using music," likening the filmmaker's vision to "'Here's my iPod on shuffle, and here's my movie.'" Adding insult to insult, Oldham has to be reminded of the "Darjeeling guy"'s name before he begins dissing him. Read more at A.V. Club.

Kanye West wasn't the only singer Radiohead allegedly dissed at the Grammys. Teen pop star Miley Cyrus was so devastated that her fellow Grammy performers wouldn't chill with her backstage, she left the ceremony early! So she promises to "ruin" them. This latest drama was revealed on the Johnjay & Rich radio show on Tuesday. Here's what happened.

Flaming Lips Vs. Arcade Fire Round 2: Win Butler Strikes Back

thumbnail: Flaming Lips Vs. Arcade Fire Round 2: Win Butler Strikes Back

This morning, out of nowhere, Flaming Lips ringleader Wayne Coyne tore the Arcade Fire a new asshole, accusing the beloved Canadian indie rockers of being pompous pricks who treat everybody -- crew, fans, Oklahoman psych-pop bands -- like shit. Blogging on his band's site, Win Butler expresses disbelief about the situation. He only met Wayne once years ago, so WTF? Then he drags Beck into it. The full statement...

Wayne Coyne Tears Arcade Fire A New Asshole

thumbnail: Wayne Coyne Tears Arcade Fire A New Asshole

It's true. That headline is not in the least bit hyperbolic. During a phone interview with Rolling Stone's Andy Greene, Wayne Coyne went to pretty great lengths to diss Win and his troops. According to Rolling Stone, the Flaming Lips frontman and Green were talking about "the movers and shakers in the music world" when the subject shifted from Brian Eno to Radiohead to Arcade Fire (of course). RS also notes that "Coyne is not comparing Eno to the Arcade Fire -- Eno was just a talking point." He actually has many talking points.
