You should give money to Jersey City, New Jersey radio station WFMU during this year's pledge drive, which runs through March 15. Why? Because it's a bastion of independence in an increasingly corporate world. Not convinced? Well, maybe a track-by-track covers album devoted to Paul and Linda McCartney's 1971 LP Ram featuring a bunch of indie rock heavies will sway you. If you pledge $75 or more during the station's music'n'comedy extravaganza "The Best Show" on March 3 or 10 from 8-11 p.m. ET, you'll get the Ram disc, named Tom, after "Best Show" host Tom Scharpling. Tom features Death Cab for Cutie, Ted Leo, Portastatic, Danielson, Aimee Mann, Dump (aka Ira McNew of Yo La Tengo), Spider Bags, James Pants, Black Hollies, and more. Sure beats a coffee mug. Thanks to Grant Bessel for the tip!In a coincidental twist, there's another indie rock Ram covers project out, and while it doesn't feature many big names, it is free. (Is this album due for another deluxe reissue or what?) Ram on L.A. is currently downloadable from music blog Aquarium Drunkard. The record features Angelenos like Earlimart and the Broken West doing their best Paul, and though it's available on the internet free of charge, its makers urge listeners to contribute to McCartney-friendly charity No More Landmines.Click on to see who's covering what:read more

You have to love a band name like Rat Cage. When a band picks a name like that, you know exactly what you’re getting. The Sheffield group makes the kind of frantic, intense, ripshit-angry hardcore punk that evokes images of fleas, diseases, and desperate pent-up energy, and they deliver on that. We last heard from Rat Cage when they dr...
