Combing the web: Drive-By Truckers move units; Roy Coughlin gets archived; download Pride Parade's latest.




Drive-By Truckers new collection of B-sides and rarities The Fine Print outsold Taylor Swift last week, according to Country Music News Blog.




"This week they left Taylor Swift in the dust in overall record sales, making themselves the top-selling country act for the first week of September (according to StreetPulse)."

PeachBuzz goes record shopping with Vanessa Hay and more...


Pitchfork Media gave Circulatory System's long-awaited record Signal Morning a great review. We were lucky enough to host the band during this year's AthFest and they were INCREDIBLE.
