So after five weeks at number one, Eminem’s utterly bland Recovery was knocked from the Billboard’s top spot by another gray-scale release, Avenged Sevenfold’s Nightmare. The “metal” record moved 163K units to Eminem’s week six tally of 159K. I don’t know how to feel about this. On the one hand, “Not Afraid” is Em’s best single since “Lose Yourself” but the rest of the album is pop-rap nonsense with a few lyrical gems scattered throughout….
As if the name wasn't terrible enough...
As previously reported, the new Black Mountain album , “Wilderness Heart“, will be out on September 14 via Jagjaguwar, and if their first single “Old Fangs” just got you started, here’s yet another new song off the new record, titled “The Hair Song,” which suit your hard riff needs until the release date.

Built around the a cappella of the Love Committee’s “Cheaters Never Win”, Teengirl Fantasy’s completely revamped version, called “Cheaters”, turned the track upside down, filling the dramatic vocals with liquid synths, an uplifting bass line, against a wall of splattered neutral tones of sound that lift you up, only to bring you back on your feet emotionally the next second, then back up. It’s quite the emotional roller coaster, but if I have to give the Ohio duo credit for just…
Despite the fact that at the end of 2007 Radiohead released with much hype one of the decade’s musical milestones In Rainbows, all for free on the band’s website, it seems like the ghost of the RIAA is still here to haunt us. The latest attack on file sharing is addressed to bloggers that posted in parts or integral the In Rainbows album, even though the record is probably most known for its innovative free…
Simple, yet highly entertaining, Broken Social Scene video for “Forced to Love” taps into more high-tech grounds, depicting the band’s hologram playing the flying guitar rocker. Forced to Love is off the talented Canadian collective’s latest recently released full length, “Forgiveness Rock Record”, out now on Arts & Crafts.
If you have 17 months to spare that is… A certain crafty, passionate and, not lastly, obsessed individual took the liberty and time to recreate the famous Daft Punk helmets in the comfort of his own studio. The end-result is nothing short of spectacular, and can be seen in the YouTube video embedded below in all its 749 steps towards completion. [via Radio Exile]
At the dawn of a new decade, it’s a safe guess to state the future arenas will be dominate by acts such as the Kings of Leon, a band whose success has been steadily been built upon its Southern roots foundations to it’s modern day U2-like status. A new Kings of Leon album will only enforce their status, and as I’ve been given to find out a few movements ago, it seems like the new…
A pesky leak forced the eccentric NYC quintet to move their latest album’s digital release date from mid-September to August 3rd, which for you couch potatoes is today. As a small sample of what’s to be expected from “Root for Ruin”, Les Savy Fav’s fifth full length if you wanna count them, I present you with “Let’s Get Out of Here”, a densely guitar packed, full stomp anthem. Yeah, typical Les Savy material, which is…
Alright, this is one of those disturbing videos you run into, and immediately after hitting the play button through out the end of it all you’re left with that oh so familiar what-the-fuck feeling. One thing’s for sure with Ratatat’s latest video for “Drugs” – it’s damn well suggestive. Ratatat’s latest album “LP4” is out now on XL. DrugsRATATAT | MySpace Music Videos
