Adam Green Declares Himself Nardwuar's Enemy

Adam Green hates our trusty friend, Nardwuar The Human Serviette. Green doesn't visit Canada often, so he was excited to return to Toronto on Saturday night ("Man, I'm so glad we played here!"), but couldn't hold his distaste for Chart's elite interviewer. "Do you guys have a Canadian Mr. Rogers?" he asked the crowd. "...

Adam Green

Sixes & Sevens, the fifth solo effort from The Moldy Peaches co-founder Adam Green clocks in just under 50 minutes with its 20 tracks. The album is filled with fun songs that have a polished sound, but that sound is hard to pinpoint. Green jumps around from '50s and '60s-inspired pop/rock on "Tropical Island" and "Festival Song...

Adam Green — Gemstones

After the vast improvement between his too-rough debut Garfield and his charming sophomore solo album Friends Of Mine, ex-Moldy Peaches dude Adam Green proves with Gemstones that a good schtick can’t last long. Whereas Friends Of Mine shone with a mix of naiveté and decent songwriting, Gemstones is the tedious cross between art rock and children’s...

Adam Green — Minor Love

Let's get two things straight, Adam Green: 1. You aren't funny. 2. Your music sucks.  Kimya's clearly had the better solo career.

Adam Green — "Cigarette Burns Forever"

Adam Green and his ladyfriend head to a cemetery to smoke a few cigarettes in the video for "Cigarette Burns Forever." Hey, Adam, if you keep smoking, you'll end up in a cemetery a lot sooner than if you quit. Just sayin'. Not sure what that pineapple is doing there, but I'm secretly hoping it sprouts arms and legs, jumps up and starts...

Cribs Get Torontonians Moving

Put a Los Angeles indie rock band will country leanings, an oddball, hyperactive comedian and singer/songwriter and a British rock band with punk rock and jangle-pop influences together and what do you get? Quite possibly the weirdest bill that's visited Toronto in a while. Los Angeles' The Dead Trees opened things up at the Phoenix Concert...

Adam Green — "Give Them A Token"

Adam Green finishes a painting in the video for "Give Them A Token" before heading to New York's Metropolitan Museum Of Art to compare his work with some of the most famous pieces ever produced. Instead of trying to get it a place at the gallery, he opts to leave it in a park instead. "Give Them A Token" will appear on Minor...

Adam Green Writing Musical About A Dog

Adam Green is making a musical about a homeless dog. There's no way it'll match the Shiba Inu Puppy Cam we're currently obsessed with, but we'll give Green a chance. The Broadway musical is apparently based on Timbuktu, a Paul Auster novella told by a dog that lives on the streets of Baltimore with his homeless and dying owner. Green says the...

Adam Green: A Fat Elvis Willing To Sell Out

"Fucking hell, man! This is the hardest interview I ever did in my life," Adam Green says while slumping into his chair. He's only mildly exaggerating. This is the fifth time his band members have interrupted us by entering the room to get cigarettes, bottled water, backpacks and other daily requirements for touring musicians. He's...

Moldy Peaches Heart Degrassi

With just a few days to go before they cross the 49th parallel to play for their northern brothers and sisters again, New York's Moldy Peaches seem keen on exploring some of their Canadian memories. Although there was one sour note on their last trip up here with The Strokes (some twit in Montreal stole one of their guitars), Kimya Dawson and...

The Circus That Was The Strokes

If you happened to be sauntering around Queen West yesterday in search of new pants or maybe some fancy boots, you'd have surely noticed the untold amount of Sloan Pretty Together posters stapled to, literally, every post along Queen between John and Spadina. If you didn't know there was a new Sloan record coming out before yesterday, you sure as...
