If you’re trying to occupy yourself with something fun or just make the time run faster at work, then I warmly recommend a little game web based game I’ve been playing for hours now, called Gorillaz Cookie Game. Obviously the purpose of the game is to eat as many cookies as possible in a given time limit. Play the game on Facebook now and be sure the boss doesn’t sees you.
Since they first popped out on the mainstream radar, with the critical acclaimed release Z, the Louisville quintet hasn’t quite fancied itself in making public appearances, apart from the usual gigs. If you add that to almost 3 years of non existing new material, you could MMJ is kinda holding back on us, details, however, concerning their much anticipated upcoming, still untitled album, have emerged. For now what we know is that the recordings are…
We usually don’t like to talk about politics, actually I personally hate it, but [tag]Arcade Fire[/tag] frontman, Win Butler, recent statement is worth posting, as it sums a bunch of sentiments, I myself had accumulated during these seemingly neverending election campaigns. Although Win rarely update’s his blog scrapbook, he makes it up for it with incendiary posts, like his recent outburst against Hillary Clinton’s “bullshit” (I’m quoting, cut the crap), in which he heavily criticizes…
As expected [tag]Morrissey[/tag]’s upcoming record, his latest best of compilation titled Greatest Hits, got leaked a few weeks before its scheduled release of February 11. A reader tipped us that “How People Grow Up,” one of the two never released songs from the compilation, is up on the net. It’s a song made in Moz’s familiar style and fashion, with simple guitar riffs and a epic intro, topped by his unmistakable vocals. Thanks Matt ;)…
Tim DeLaughter and his 20 something followers, that form the eccentric indie rock orchestra of [tag]The Polyphonic Spree[/tag], just released the video for their second single “We Crawl,” from last year’s The Fragile Army. What makes the video special is that instead of shooting a conventional video, each of the 23 members were handed a camera and asked to shoot whatever they feel like. Thus hundread of hours of footage was mailed to indie director…
Breakout British group [tag]The Horrors[/tag] and director Marvin Scott Jarrett (Nylon Magazine) are set to attend the 2008 Sundance Film Festival where the documentary film “Counting in Fives,” centered around the band, will be unveiled. The “rockumentary” follows the group through the streets of London and the US, in the studio writing their second record, and throughout concerts in the UK and the US, ultimately exploring how these dynamic personalities came to form The Horrors….
Things are really shaping up this week, with some awesome new releases, especially from the rock and indie scene. The clear highlight of the week is [tag]Ringo Starr[/tag], one of the fab four, with his whooping 14th solo album, called “Liverpool 8”. We haven’t had the honor of sampling the record yet, but from what I’ve been reading and hearing, it should be a album that takes Ringo back to his roots, after all Liverpool…
The Atlantic was a rocking it out last week, when a all star jam band, got together and decided to pay homage to the great [tag]David Bowie[/tag], who through four decades of music, provided a constant influence for young, emerging bands. As the title suggests all was staged on a cruise ship, where the group operated under the moniker ‘Oh, You Pretty Things,’ led by Ron Johnson and featuring the relatively reclusive Jon Fishman (Phish),…
The trip-hop UK duo, of [tag]Morcheeba[/tag], are just a few weeks away from their highly anticipated new album, titled “Dive Deep,” release. With over 6 million albums, several tours behind their back and some of the most moving and instantly recognizable tunes throughout the nineties, Paul and Ross Godfrey are confident they’ve made a record that’s set to propell them back into the spotlight. Actually the Godfrey brothers consider Dive Deep as a “emotional blueprint”…
We talked a bit about [tag]Sheryl Crow[/tag]’s forthcoming new record called “Detours”, in a previous post, but now we’re back with some details. For instance, after resolving, her misunderstandings with long time friend and collaborator, Bill Bottrell, the both in a burst of creativity, recorded twenty-four songs in forty days in the basement studio of Crow’s Nashville-area home. Of these, only fourteen made the cut, on what’s considered Crow’s most personal album yet, fact she…
