That’s right mates, Radiohead is no longer just a noun, it’s also a verb now! It means to offer your CD up as a digital download on the Internet and then ask your buyers to pay how much they think it’s worth it. While Radiohead did manage to create a phenomenon in this music industry, it’s still unclear how this strategy will affect them long term. But one thing’s for sure: record labels should…
Justin Vernon or Bon Iver, as he’s better known in the indie music community, made a lot of waves, towards the end of last year, with his independently released debut album “For Emma, Forever Ago.” The intense passion and soul of the album can be sensed from the very first listen, probably because it was truly an album centered around a man’s quest for finding himself. Isolation and sorrow are of the album’s themes, probably…
Foul language ahead! Proceed with care. Sarah Silverman is a comedian, writer, and actor. Since 2002, she also was involved in a relationship with Jimmy Kimmel, host of the late-night talk show called Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Everything seemed to be going more or less good, but nothing out of the ordinary. That is, until Sarah decided to make this video public, in which well… she says she’s f***ing Matt Damon, and he agrees: Well… that’s…

A San Diego native, the acoustic talent Tristan Prettyman, definitely charmed from her first hello. This time around however, she’s truly spoiling us with a acoustic cover of Yael Naim’s “New Soul,” or as most of you know it: the song from the Macbook Air commercial. Even more reasons to eagerly await her sophomore album “Hello,” out April 15. [display_podcast]
Some of you may remember when we wrote, in our Bands to Watch feature, about a nifty and emerging St. Louis pop-punk band, called Ludo. Their latest record “You’re Awful I Love You,” hit every respecting store on February 26th and was quickly embraced by their fans and new listeners alike. Recently I had the chance to have a short chat with two of the band members, frontman Andrew Volpe and synth master Tim Convy,…
Yesterday night “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” had none other the Chan Cat Power Marshall as its performing guest. The she sang a more then honorable rendition of Frank Sinatra’s classic “New York, New York,” song also present in her Jukebox covers album.
This is turning into a soap opera already. After they first announced it in February they changed their minds and delayed it, claiming they want to make something great. OK, that’s good, as long as it rocks. Makes sense, good things come to those who wait. But is it that good? Honestly speaking, I have a huge amount of fate in them. As far as I’m concerned, when you think about what kind of music…
