I’m pretty sure Ozzy Osborne is going to outlive the entire human species, especially considering how his genome actually mutated and now thrives on alcohol, but apparently, he only has one thing let on his bucket list: a collaboration with Adele. “I’d die a happy man, I think she’s f–king great. She’s not f–king botox-faced, she’s a normal, healthy girl who speaks in her native accent.” He was discussing Black Sabbath producer Rick Rubin’s involvement…
Incubus guitarist Michael Einziger has revealed that he is working on the new Pearl Jam album. We found this out (how else ?) from his twitter, where he posted: “In the studio with my girl and Eddie Vedder, recording strings for Pearl Jam’s new album.” I’m really curious about this Pearl Jam album, apparently it will be a little different than what they’ve done. Guitarist Mike McCready has described it as a cross between punk…
Well I know most of you could not possibly care less about this, but I’m a long standing Man United fan, so I’ll beg your forgiveness on this one. Back when defender Gary Neville was the big gun there, rock was all that was played in the locker room. But following his retirement and the infusion of new players, rap and R&B took over – mostly supported by Patrice Evra. Thankfully though, goalkeeper David De…
Mumford & Sons banjo player Winston Marshal has recently confessed that their attitude is not really Rock ‘n’ Roll, but a little more on the soft side – as if that was needed from a band who has a banjo player. “We’re not, like, hard men. We’re emotional. We’re not rock’n’roll. If AC/DC apologized, that’d be the end of their career. But someone doesn’t say hello to us and we’re like, ‘I cannot believe the…
It never ceases to amaze me how effective music can be in acting as a therapeutic coping mechanism in getting us through the toughest situations life seems to throw at us. It had been two long, grueling years since BRMC suffered the tragic loss of sound engineer, producer, and father of bassist Robert Levon Been, Michael Been. Michael was an essential part of this project, and his sudden death was the main driving force…
With their fractured Angles recording sessions, the absence of any definite tour plans, and the complete media blackout surrounding their new album, The Strokes are giving every indication that their time together is up. When you consider that Comedown Machine, the band’s new album, will be their last on release RCA, it all makes sense. So when the video for their song “All The Time” was released earlier this month, it seemed to confirm what everyone was already thinking….
Leeds is a city with a vibrant music scene: buzzing sounds, great bands, and a community ethos. ZME chats to Happy Daggers about their home town and the music they make there. You have quite a mix of styles going on, yet all seem to blend well. Are there any particular influences? We all have very eclectic tastes and I think that helps bring new ideas to the table and keep things fresh. I’d probably…
The new Strokes album, Comedown Machine, is now streaming on Pitchfork Advance. You can listen to it here. The album is set to be released in the US on March 26th. I’ll have a review up for this very soon.
At an album release party on Monday, Justin Timberlake confirmed rumors that his album, The 20/20 Experience, is merely the first half of a two-part release. The rumor of a second volume was first floated out by Roots drummer ?uestlove, who had worked with Timberlake during the singer’s week-long stint on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Given the near seven year wait between his previous album, FutureSex/LoveSounds, and The 20/20 Experience, it’s not a surprise that Timberlake…
30 Seconds to Mars will be back with a new album pretty soon – May 20 to be more exact. ‘Love Lust Faith + Dreams’ is the name, and Jared Leto is the game; not only will he be fronting the band, but he’s also producing it, alongside Steve Lillywhite. “This is more than an evolution, it’s a brand new beginning. Creatively, we’ve gone to an entirely new place, which is exciting, unexpected, and incredibly…
