The Aussie hard rock veterans, AC/DC, have just finished mapping the first North American leg of their upcoming massive tour, in preparation for the much anticipated “Black Ice” album. The band is set to get onboard the rock train immediately after Black Ice gets out, as Brian Johnson and co. will first salute those about to rock in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania on October 28th, after calling it a wrap on December 18th in Charlotte, NC. Along…
Back in July the French electro duo, Justice, were comissioned by Dior Homme to make a mix for their Spring/Summer 2009 runway show. Of course, faboulous results didn’t fail to arrive, and the whole fashion show buggied to Justice beats. Now, some good months since the incident, Justice has released the whole 15 minute mix, titled “Planisphere” and distributed into four parts, as a free download at their MySpace page. What’s interesting is how the…
B. B. King is not the artist that sold the most albums in the world, he’s not the artist that attracted the biggest crowd at a concert, but he’s an artist that can release more passion and feeling in a single note than most guitarists can give in a lifetime. Perhaps the most respected blues player of all time, B. B. King is believed to be the third-greatest guitarist of “the 100 greatest guitarists of…
There has been a huge amount of attention directed at Led Zeppelin after the O2 gig, but not many clear things have seen the light of day since. The word was out that they were getting ready for a handful of concerts, but then the band seemed to hang by a thread and a bit later, Robert Plant gave the word out that Led Zeppelin is not going to tour again. Recently, Jimmy Page went…
Here’s something I managed to grab off a cool thread on 7chan (no, I don’t hang out there, but a WoW buddy linked me). Yup, that’s Enter Sandman on a rhythm of lol cats. Now, that’s what I call LOL.
Bon Iver took Conan O’Bien’s Late Night show by storm, last night, after Justin Vernon and the rest of the gang made their US nation-wide television debut with a stelar performance of “Flume,” as part of their 08 tour in support of the debut album. A well deserved shout out to Conan for the impecable pronounciation (obviously, I didn’t know it right, till now.). Also, if you’re looking for more Bon Iver goodness check out…
With only a week or so until the new Kings of Leon album, “Only by the Night”, lands on September 22, things have really begun to shapen up. We’ve already released two songs off the new album, including the first single Sex on Fire, but this time we have for you what I find to be the best song off The Night, in the form of the record opener, “Closer.” The song is really slow…
Man, Bloc Party’s taking the whole surprise, out of the blue effect a bit too serious, to the point of exaggeration even. After releasing their latest LP, “Intimacy,” on a very short notice a few weeks ago, the band has now premiered a new single, “Talons,” that off Intimacy, but the thing is it wasn’t present on the digital release, as Kele were saving it to add an even greater effect to the spontaneous album….
Haha, you gotta give it to those Canadians, they really know how to crash a party. During Oasis’ set on last night’s Toronto Virgin Festival, right in the middle of “Morning Glory,” a dude from the crowd came from out of the nowhere and put a good shuv on Noel Gallagher, causing him to fell off the stage. The band took some good 10 minutes to recover and then returned to complete their set. In…
At last Sunday’s Disney VMA’s Kanye West premiered a new song, performing the new drumline-backed Love Lockdown (stereogum). Now, apparently Kanye’s not only rolling out new songs, but also a new album. No official word has been released by either Kanye or his publicist, but retail sites like Amazon and Target are listing LP4 under the title 808’s & Heartbreak with a release date of 12/16, so this seems as real as it can be….
