I don’t know why this even surprises me, but I guess it’s worth point out what a shy, crying little girl Marilyn Manson is. He is, really, take a look at his latest blog post on myspace. I can, but do not need to defend myself And the absurd accusations that the average press has [...]

Nina Persson is simply lovely in her latest video for the nostalgic “Love Has Left The Room.” Director Maximilla Lukacs added a delightful touch of baroque-esque lighting and setting which makes the video look even more bohemian and reminiscent. What does Nina when Love Has Left The Room? She goes for long strolls on the [...]

Today, I’ll be reviewing Severed Ways: The Norse Discovery of North America, a movie whose long and drawn-out title should say it all, but in case it doesn’t, I’ll explain a little: it is a movie that follows the struggle of two battle-weary Norse warriors to rejoin the rest of the exploring party following a [...]

This is maybe one of the best summer jams I’ve heard in ages! Seems like the influence of Noah Lennox (Panda Bear), and both the time Bradford Cox spent with Animal Collective on tour in Europe, played an enormous role on “Walkabout,” this brilliant collective effort.

The art work, designed by long time friend and collaborator of the band Tom Tomorrow, was split into 9 pieces which were scattered all across the internet, and fans had to put them all together [...]

It’s been called one of the defining sounds of this era as well as a trend [that became] a gimmick. TIME Magazine acknowledged it as a rare gimmick that can lead to innovation. Rick Rubin has called its use lazy and argues that using it can remove the emotion from a performance. All this over [...]

In honor of, what’s probably, The Pixies‘ most loved album “Doolittle” 20th anniversary, the band will head out on a North America/Europe tour where selected tracks from the album, plus B sides, will be performed. The first to get a glimpse of the influential alt rockers will be the European peeps, pretty soon enough starting [...]

Yeah, sounds like a combination out of a bad cappuccino commercial, but for this past weekend at least, indie rock and yoga went hand in hand as the Wanderlust festival unraveled itself over a three days period of non stop energy channeling and heavy rockin’ in the chilly Lake Taho, CA.
