Music: Like supergroups? Check out Them Crooked Vultures. Now.

  • The hardest drummer in rock. One of modern guitar’s greatest heroes. One of classic rock’s greatest bassists. Them Crooked Vultures gets the best of Dave Grohl, Josh Homme and John Paul Jones to create a truly compelling mix of modern rock. Their full album comes out next week, but listen to the full thing at NME. source

Music: The kings of mopey strummer music create their own supergroup

  • who Conor Oberst (the mastermind of Bright Eyes who’s recently gone solo), Mike Mogis (also of Bright Eyes), M. Ward (of solo career and She & Him) and Jim James (of My Morning Jacket) have created a supergroup. Yay!
  • what The quartet, which calls itself Monsters of Folk, will release its self-titled debut September 22. Usually we’re against supergroups, but these guys have way more pedigree than Tinted Windows. (But fewer hit singles.)
  • why Because, seriously, who can dispute the awesomeness of an indie rock supergroup that actually calls itself Monsters of Folk? It’s like the Justice League, except it’s gonna put you to sleep and make you a little sad. source
