Boys and girls, Vampire Weekend is back! No, chill, not with a new album, but a new MP3, in which the NY quartet masterfully cover Fleetwood Mac’s “Everywhere.” The song was recorded on a Australian Radio show and let me say they’ve done a terrific job, especially on the vocals department, where Ezra Koenig virtually made the cover stand out. The MP3 is bellow thanks to Pretty Much Amazing via P4K. [display_podcast]
The Philly hip-hop group, Jedi Mind Tricks, are prepping their sixth full length studio effort “A History of Violence” for the October 14th release date. To support it, the highly controversial rap quartet are set to head over on a cross-country promotional tour. Check out the full schedule bellow.
Brian Wilson can be considered nothing less then an icon of contemporary music. He’s an awesome front-man, a very talented songwriter and let’s not forget he can drink you under the table and knows how to surf! Yup, a true legend, and we couldn’t have possibly not mention his upcoming solo album, “That Lucky Old Sun,” scheduled for a September 2nd release. Fan can listen to the whole album over at USA Today, where a…
Photo by LtRandazzo A flickr user posted this yesterday, after attending a Nine Inch Nails show, most probably in Saint Louis’ Scottrade Center, on August 20th. The pic perfectly surprises the much feared blue screen of death, that’s been haunting computer geeks around the world! CTR+ALT+DEL :( Anyway, the Windows 98 error screen was obviously faked by NIN, as fun thing. After all, Trent is notoriously known as a huge “Apple fan,” and righteously so…

Metallica, trying to be badasss
Ok, this is pretty breaking news. Apparently Apple’s iTunes has been blocked by “the great firewall of China” (awesome name btw), as a reaction to a pro-tibetan album that’s been getting really popular there. To be more exact The Art of Peace Foundation’s Songs for Tibet compilation, featuring tracks by Alanis Morissette, Sting, Moby and 17 more artists. The album was released as a download on the iTunes Store on August 5 – three days…
We’ve been hearing a lot from Daniel Rossen this past year, with new music, TV & radio appearances with his main band Grizzly Bear, and now with his side project Department of Eagles, a folktronica duo, that he founded with his friend Fred Nicolaus. You can blame Grizzly Bear’s erratic performances all over the country and countless other musical collaboration for keeping Daniel away from DoE, but now he and Fred are back on the…
We’ve had a real indie soap-opera this weekend, with the whole Deerhunter/Atlas Sound records leakage. The whole event was categorized like a big ol’ publicity stunt by the media, fans and even labels, but Bradford (Atlas Sound) gives indications that that’s certainly not the case. Furthermore he posted a really lengthy apology down at his blog, where he explained the whole thing, said sorry to all the people that felt in any way offended by…
I don’t know what’s with bands these days releasing albums straight out of the blue, just around the time they have a boner. Maybe it’s a trend or something, frankly I don’t really care, and to be honest I like a good surprise now and then. A new Bloc Party album certainly makes a good one. The band just announced earlier today the release date and name of their new LP, that’s been in the…
