In Rainbows sale stats unveiled

The so called Radiohead In Rainbows model has been praised, criticized, analyzed, turned over and regurgitated so many times I’ve lost count myself. Their act of musical revolt against the major labels and conventionality for that matter, has lead to a wave of enlightenment among similar bands, who’ve since then released albums under the same [...]

Download: Radiohead - ‘Reckoner’ (Diplo Remix)

When one of my favorite DJs, Diplo, and one of my favorite contemporary rock bands, Radiohead, mix together, there can only be goodness getting out of the whole business. Diplo first posted a remix of Reckoner a while back, for the Radiohead Remix contest, now he just posted a final version of the remix down [...]

Hot Streaming: The Smashing Pumpkins - ‘G.L.O.W.’ (radio rip)

Marketing, Play Station 2 and rock music. Yup, two words: Guitar Hero. Now, with so many artists releasing their music in premiere or even in total exclusivity via Guitar Hero or Rock Band (rewind a bit to the recent Metallica/Guitar Hero/Death Magnetic scandal), it’s really no surprise that one of the biggest money wolves in [...]

New Music Monday: 13 October

Some great new, worthwhile music is coming out this week. My favorite is definitely Ray LaMontagne’s new LP called “Gossip in the Rain.” If you’re not too familiar with the name, maybe these two songs (one and two) might refresh your memory. Ok, you’ll probably see him for the first time, but, trust me, you’ll [...]

New MGMT video: ‘The Youth’

Last year’s Oracular Spectacular was quite delicious, especially when on ’shrooms, while MGMT’s video for Time to Pretend could either scare you to hell or strip and start dancing on the melody. The band’s new video for “The Youth” isn’t by far as trippy as Time to Pretend, but it’s very fun nonetheless. Directed Eric [...]

Led Zeppelin to reform with Myles Kennedy on deck ?

And the saga continues… Yes, I know this Led Zeppelin reunion crap has been going on for too long. Ever since their infamous O2 gig, things have been hectic, to say the least. First the band met for some talks in January, then various people began to hint towards a reforming and even possibly a new [...]

The new Animal Collective LP is indeed scheduled for January + tracklist + remixes

As expected, Animal Collective is indeed rolling out a new album in January, in the form of the upcoming Merryweather Post Pavilion via Domino Records. The news that the follow-up to last year’s fabulous Strawberry Jam will be available starting from January 29th on CD, double LP, and digital formats, came the other day with [...]

The Killers’s new album art for Day & Age

The new album from The Killers, Day & Age, is right around the corner, with the release date of November 25th, getting ever closer. By the way, you’ve heard what other album lands on November 25th, right? I wasn’t really thrilled by the band’s latest single, Human, when it got out, but I’m confident Brandon [...]

Liam Gallagher: ‘I’d make Noel’s attacker eat his own dick’

Ok, this is officially Oasis‘ week. Everywhere I go, every blog, every podcast, mentions somewhere Oasis or the Gallagher brothers. Some part of me feels they deserve the hype, because this latest album is rock solid, a true comeback. However, the other part of me feels like this getting a bit overpretencious. Anyway, I laughed [...]

Download Countdown To Guns N’ Roses’ ‘Chinese Democracy’ Podcast

It’s already a bit redundant annoying exasperating to hear about the release of Chinese Democracy. Axl’s cold hands have been clinging on to it for more than enough, and it’s still not certain what’s the current state of the album, but something really interesting happened recently. “Talking Metal” posted its latest podcast which you can download [...]
