M.I.A. and Baltimore’s own Blaqstarr teamed up to do a Way Down in the Hole (Tom Waits) cover, mixing up various versions of the song that can be found as the theme song for The Wire. The song itself isn’t fantastic, but like any song featuring M.I.A. it has some crazy beats! In the hands of a capable DJ, this could rock a few clubs silly. From the video’s end, It’s clearly low budget, and…
Finally, it’s over! After months and months of politically blabbering, when where ever you turned you’d hear only Obama vs McCain vs Palin vs Clinton vs bla bla, talks. I was beginning to have it up to here, you know. I can barely express how much I’m glad this whole elections mambo jambo is over. As expected, everybody’s homeboy, Barack Obama, won easily over his republican counterpart today, open a new era of “Change.” Or…
OK. I’m totally stocked right now, after seeing the video bellow of young Sungha, playing Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” flawlessly at only 10 years. I’ll leave it to you to comment.
The new video for The Streets’ latest single, “Heaven for the Weather,” isn’t nearly as melodramatic as the last one, for Everything is Borrowed. This latest installment features the honorable Dr. M. Skinner, a sorta cult guru, who has a huge fan base of people who worship his book, ‘Get Low.’ Who knows what hidden paths to enlightenment this fictional book might contain, but I’m pretty sure it’s got some pretty slick scientologic rhymes.
It’s not a very spectacular week, in terms of new musical releases, but there are some pretty interesting stuff to pick from, nonetheless. After the UK release last month, which got pretty well received, Travis put out their latest album, titled “Ode to J. Smith,” on the US shelves, as well. Although it’s been out for such a long time, I have to say I haven’t heard a single track off the new record, but…
If there was even a single doubt in your mind, it has to be shattered NOW. AC/DC fuc*ing rocks. After everything they’ve done, after releasing just dozens of massive classic hits, they just come back and ripped everything apart with their latest release, Black Ice. My fingers are just itching to write a review for that, so keep an eye out, cause the album’s just brilliant. But that’s not the issue here. The rock gods…
Artist name: Cardinals Album name: Cardinology Label: Lost Highway Records Gender: Alternative Rock, Country Release date: October 28, 2008 ZMErating: 9.5/10 Website: www.ryan-adams.com From my point of view, it’s a big shame that Ryan Adams has been in the spotlight due to his drug related problems and mental meltdowns and tantrums than for artistic reasons. But if he had a chance to release an album that would rise him above his current level, Cardinology would…
