Boy I’ve gotta tell you, Lady Gaga never ceases to amaze me. What is she up to this time ? Quite a good cause if you ask me: she’s sending a message out to people, speaking against the US Senate policy commonly known as “Don’t ask, don’t tell”; basically, this doesn’t allow gay, lesbian, or even bisexual people to serve in the military. Which is just absurd, as Gaga points out: [caption id=”attachment_6623″ align=”alignleft” width=”500″…
One can see the resemblance, but is Cohen capable to fill Freddie Mercury's immense shoes? I'm skeptical.
“The Wild Hunt”, Kristian Matsson’s latest full length released this spring is, for me at least, one of the best folk albums released in the past few years, but alas like any delicious pastry for the ears, it leaves the gourmand always begging for more. Luckily, the Swede, better know for his Tallest Man on Earth moniker (he’s just 5’9″ if you’re wondering), recently released a new EP titled “Sometimes the Blues is Just a…
I can’t believe how self-degrading this band has become over the years. If I wasn’t completely convinced that Weezer is just surfing the huge geek trend and trying to cut some cash by releasing crap material year after year, last night shattered any doubt. It’s enough to see Rivers Cuomo dance around like a socially awkward middle aged man on Jay Leno’s Late Night stage to realize it’s ALL OVER. Some of you nostalgic, naive…
It was and will always remain one of the most shocking moments in the history of music; the man of the moment and one of the most influential people in music, John Lennon, was shot to death by Mark Chapman. Now 55, Chapman has been denied parole every single time, despite working as a clerk in prison and and overall good behavior since incarcerated. But what could determine an otherwise average man in his mid…
A few weeks ago I told you all about this wacky new cinematographic project called The Social Network which is more or less a cross between a Mark Zuckerberg’s biopic and a thriller/horror/action/drama/comedy/whatchumacallit blockbuster movie. Now, the movie may seem kinda … for lack of a better term stupid, but when a man like Trent Reznor steps up and offers his musical talents for the movie’s score, then I guess more than just an eyebrow…
I find Dan Snaith to be one of the most underrated musicians of the electronica scene today, simply because the man isn’t getting by far the kind of coverage and credit he deserves. I absolutely adored and fell in love with “Andorra” day by day as I digested the album and each track started to grow on me. With this in mind, you can imagine I had high hopes and anxious feeling regarding Caribou’s latest…
A sensual atmosphere, seductive synths and whispering vocals filled with passion are just a few of the ever present elements that can be found in this new sensational band’s music I recently came across called Raw Moans. The band has an upcoming double five track EP (CD + remixes) set for release on September 22 titled “we want it beautiful NOT REAL”, and if you’re looking for a small glimpse of what this California outfit…
My appreciation for Mr. Carlos Santana’s music goes far, far beyond words, and as such my respect for what he’s done for the scene and classic guitar rock in general. OK, I know you all feel a big BUT coming right up, so here it is … A few months ago your favorite Mexican axe handler decide it would be a great idea to release a cover album of some of the greatest guitar rock…
Moving and extremely emotional, last year’s “The Crying Light” put Antony and The Johnsons in a whole different spectrum and finally made me appreciate them band for its true worth. Barely a year after this previous monument’s release, Antony Hegarty is prepping a new album titled “Swanlights”, whose cover is captioned above and release date set for Oct. 5 via Secretly Canadian. One of the tracks off this new effort is ‘Flétta’, which sees Antony…
