Tibi PuiuFrank, the Funkasaurus Rex, is back once with his latest feature in The Black Keys video for “Next Girl”, a very low and sexy song off the band’s upcoming new album. While Frank is always a joy to watch dance and lipsync, the whole take goes to the gorgeous ladies in the video this time. Watch out for the cat fights! The Black Keys new album, titled “Brothers”, is due May 18 on Nonesuch Records.
Like A Naturist Woman
Al Byrne
I really hope Niamh doesn’t kill me for that title. But yes, I’ve made no bones about my unfettered enthusiasm for Ham Sandwich – I’ve previously told you how heartswellingly splendid they are on precisely four thousand different occasions. But now there are four thousand and one occasions, because I’m about to do it again. The reason for that is this: they’re building up to the May 14th release of their new single “The Naturist”…
Yes: Even More Hold Steady Stuffs
Look. I’m sorry, but I make no apologies for this: due to a series of internal misunderstandings, my review of the Hold Steady’s Heaven Is Whenever (released – oh! – sometime in the last 24 hours) is unlikely to be ready until Thursday or Friday at the earliest. (“Not even a proper excuse!” I hear you wail. I sighingly look up from my other important duties to explain that I was accidentally killed while retrieving…
Download: The Concretes – ‘Good Evening’
A lot of people were heartbroken by Victoria Bergsman’s departure from the band, but I’ve always had faith in Lisa Milberg vocal talents, and judging from The Concretes’ latest song off their upcoming album, she couldn’t had made me more proud. The Concretes’ new album, titled “WYWH”, is set for a Octomber release. [mp3 via MBV Music] [MP3] The Concretes – ‘Good Evening’ ZME: You’ve released 3 albums, 7 Eps and a couple of singles…
New Music Monday: May 3
Quite a few quality releases this week. The obvious standout of the week is Hold Steady’s new record “Heaven is Whenever”, which aside from our obvious affection for the band is well on par with their previous material, making it a definite recommend! “Forgiveness Rock Record”, Broken Social Scene’s first record in five years, is also out this week. I’ve been sampling FRR for a few weeks now, since it leaked on the web, and…
Bettye LaVette “Is” The Rolling Stones
I like to think that I keep my finger on the pulse. I sniff out news, I hunt down obscure albums to review, and I rend asunder songs and feast on their bulbous, nutritious entrails. Also, I mix my metaphors, and I get confused about time zones and stuff, and sometimes I sleep until 4pm in the afternoon. All of that somehow adds up to the reason that I bring this to you today, only…

Here There Be Nudedragons
Or, as they’re perhaps more commonly known, Soundgarden. Y’know: Soundgarden. The most interesting band of the big Seattle four, who recently played a reunion show at the famous Showbox Theatre. That Soundgarden. And now there is a pro-shot video of their performance of Beyond The Wheel from that gig, which – quite honestly – defies all logical expectations, and both illogical ones. It’s gooooooooooood. That’s after the jump.
