We’ve been bragging about a new design for the blog for a looooong, long time, but we’ve never really got around doing it. I guess money time was really a problem. Anyway, we got around finally do it, and we’re really pleased about it. We’re now thinking about adding some extra features, and here’s where [...]
Finally, My Morning Jacket, or whoever’s handling their promotion, thought about making a video for my favorite track off Evil Urges, the harmonic epic “Touch Me I’m Going to Scream Pt. 2.” The video features a googly-eyed critter on a quest to free some fireflies and reunite them with some werido orchids, going through [...]
Props to Bradford Cox (Atlas Sound) of Deerhunter, again. The man seems to write songs as often as I change socks, which is not often enough, apparently. Anyway, he just released another “7 virtual vinyl (No. 4) over at his blog.
Here I found a little gem of song, called “Holiday.” The song’s far from a [...]
A lot of great releases this week, although no big names to back them up. The indie and electronica scene is particularly popular this time of year. Staind is possibly the biggest name out of the list, with more then 15 million records sold during their 12 year career, but the last two studio efforts [...]
Few bands that formed less than 20 years ago have the fame and fanbase that System of a Down has, even after frontman Serj Tankian split and released a solo album. When we heard from him he seemed to be working on a musical and a reunion appeared to be impossible. The band and Serj [...]
The Velvet Revolver soap opera continues, as official sources announced that they are still loking for somebody to replace Scott Weiland. This comes as a shock, at least to me, because the word was out that the former Spacehog frontman was already the man for the job.
It really gives you a bad feeling when you [...]
Seems like Coldplay is expanding and further expanding its Viva La Vida tour, in support of their so-so decent latest album, every few months or so, which isn’t a bad thing at all. This time the band have mapped some further European dates in September, as well as some US dates in late October/beginning [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
