Last week(March 2), Nine Inch Nails shocked the scene, when they released their latest instrumental album “Ghosts: I-IV,” completely out of the blue and most importantly for free, to a certain extent of course. The first volume, out of four, was given out for free, while the complete record was put out in various formats, both digital and physical, ranging from 5$ to 300$ (the deluxe edition with uber NIN merc). Now one week later,…
Apparently the Brazilians from CSS have taken over the YouTube airwaves with a homemade video of their song “Music Is My Hot Hot Sex,” made by a fan, which has just recently cumulated just over 100 million views on the popular video social network. If the figures prove to be correct, then it means the video is clearly the most viewed upon in YouTube’s history, surpassing the previous record holder, Evolution of Dance, by over…
Probably the funniest things I’ve stumbled upon these days are once again music related, and once again we have youtube to thank, as well as the users who uploaded and created the videos.

You don’t believe it? Here’s the proof! The…

Whatsmore, it will be backed…
Kaki King is one of my favorite contemporary guitarists, she just has style beautiful weary way of playing the guitar, that just makes me feel all warm inside. She’s also got a pretty decent voice and she’s a girl, what are the odds? Anyway here new album “Dreaming of Revenge” just came out this week via Velour Records and as I expected the first video is for the album’s highlight “Pull Me Out.” The video…
The famous Canadian singer/songwriter and poet Leonard Cohen, as expected, is set to soon head out on a tour this summer; his first tour in 15 years!

April’s fool day prank or not, the lands from Radiohead have just announced that they’ll perform a another free entrance live setlist on April 1st, this time within the more spacious confines of London’s BBC Radio Theatre. The band made a similar attempt, back in mid January, when they announced and played a live concert, in a cramp location in downtown London, all in one day. The BBC will give out tickets either by applying…
