There's bound to be more clips surfacing from Fucked Up's free 12-hour show at the Rogan Store (330 Bowery, NYC) yesterday (10/14), but seems like video of the Toronto-based bathroom re-designers doing a cover of "Blitzkrieg Bop" with Moby on guest guitar/vocals is as good a place as any to start. (Other guests included J. Mascis, Vivian Girls, Ezra Koenig, etc. Akon didn't show, ha ha.) Last night a friend and I were talking about how it's pretty fascinating to see Matador putting so much into The Chemistry Of Common Life. I'm a longtime Fucked Up fan and dig the new record (though have to say I think Hidden World's better at this point), but who'd of thought the label would be pushing hardcore -- even in this updated form -- so hard(core). Anyhow, Moby looks like he's having fun.

It’s so tempting to make jokes about this, but it’s also a truly fucked up situation: As Al Jazeera reports, a recent Senate Intelligence Committee report on the CIA’s Guantanamo Bay prison reveals that the CIA has recently used music as one torture instrument among many. The report centers on the Saudi prisoner Zai...

Fucked Up are about to release their epic 18-minute single “Year Of The Dragon,” the latest in their long line of Zodiac 12″ releases. On the B-side, they’ve covered a couple of ancient, obscure Toronto punk anthems. We’ve posted one of those covers: The band’s version of Cardboard Brai...
In a sense, Stephen Malkmus and Fucked Up’s Damian Abraham are the chilled-out yin and the amped-up yang of the Matador Records roster. So it only makes sense that they more or less complete each other in the context of a TV interview. Malkmus stopped by Abraham’s MuchMusic talk show The Wedge to discuss Malkmus’ [...]
