The cover art for Oasis’s upcoming album, Dig Out Your Soul, out October 7th Well, the last news I expected from Oasis right now was concerning their upcoming album. I mean, I was certain we’d hear something of a response from Noel Gallagher, regarding the whole Jay-Z/Oasis dissing from a few days. Anyway, I’m glad the band has somewhat abandoned their publicity whoring, for a while at least, and concentrated on what really matters: music….
The post-punk New Yorkers of Les Savy Fav are set to go on tour this fall, that’s sure to delight their fans around the country, although the dates are stretched quite thinly. More dates, however, are sure to come up in time. Just be patient, and the band might just come to a city near you. Their latest album, “Let’s Stay Friends,” is out now via French Kiss Records. Les Savy Fav – 2008 Tour…
Everybody seems to be crazy about Manu Chao’s reggae infused upbeat anthem Politik Kills, off his critical darling “La Radiolina.” Now the smashing single gets remixed by London’s Mike “Prince Fatty” Pelanconi, in what’s a great new rendition of the song. The new version has some great new beats over some skillfully put layers of sound, but what makes it really beautifully different is the new latinized vibe the song now has, packed with latino…
A lot of The Cure related news this week, but who’s here to whine about it? After The Cure emo remix EP (featuring appearances from Jared Leto, Gerrard Way, Pete Wentz and other ‘super stars’) and the Perfect As Cats: a tribute to The Cure cover LP have been announced with great fuss, before the band’s latest upcoming thirteen record comes out on October, we’ve finally treated with some decent sampling from the new album….
Glasgow’s favorite post-punk revivalists, Franz Ferdinand, have a new album in stored for us, with recordings well underway since 2007, with an expected released out of January 2009. A bit of a long wait, but I’m confident it will end up alright, after all you don’t rush greatness *cough. Anyway, Franz have released a new song recently, which they put out for streaming down at their website. The song, titled “Lucid Dreams,” is on the…
Man, Kanye sure knows his timing. The world class producer just released the video for his Steely Dan heavily sampled track, “Champion,” a video that features Kanye training and competing in the Olympics. Of course, he becomes a champion. Song off the recommended latest West album, Graduation. Kanye West “Champion Video” Official Directed by NEON from nabil elderkin on Vimeo.
Finally some Death Cab For Cutie live action. The band is set to concert a bit of what’s left of the summer through Asia, then they’re set to go on a small autumn trek in North America.
Last week’s Jay-Z dope appearance on the Madison Square garden stage, next to Kanye, proved to be a shocker for the whole rap scene. That was the coup de grâce of ultimate marketing stunts. The perfect entry and the perfect announcement for the new album, Blueprint 3. However, in all the commotion and all, I couldn’t get a good fix on the Kanye produced song, off Bluepring 3, titled “Jockin’ Jay-Z.” Well, not anymore, as…
Some would say that love and music, when mixed together, form the most beautiful eclectic expression possible. Brooklyn based duo Courtney Kaiser and Benjamin Cartel, together known as KaiserCartel, can be considered living proof of this. The two met each other in a show, down at the Knitting Factory, where both were scheduled to play on the same bill. Each missed the other’s show, but chatted briefly after. They eventually remained in contact, and after…
