Well whoever said that [tag]The Mars Volta[/tag] music is “puzzling” is oh so right, especially when the Long Beach, CA based band, recently put out a brain challenging puzzle on their website. The puzzle is made out of 16 blocks, all forming the cover art for TMV’s forthcoming 2008 studio album “The Bedlam in Goliath,” the type where you have to move a block one at a time. Yeah I know it’s really frustrating. If…
Seems like the end of the year, apart from holiday and best of compilations, is a good time to release rap albums, at least that’s what the pour of constant hip-hop records, released in these past days and week, leads us to believe. Leading the pack is [tag]Wu Tang Clan[/tag] warlord [tag]Ghostface Killah[/tag], with his much awaited seventh solo release “The Big Dough Rehab”, after last year he delighted us with fish and later with…
Artist name: Kylie Minogue Album name: X Label: EMI Group Gender: Pop/Dance Release date: November 26, 2007 ZMErating: 6/10 Website: http://www.kylie.com Considering what [tag]Kylie Minogue[/tag]’s been through this past years, we can only wonder if the energy and determination she’s put in, fighting and eventually beating breast cancer, could be conveyed in her most recent comeback. Her tenth album, suggestively titled “X,” is far from her best, like the perfection she atteinded with “Can’t Get…
I believe it’s safe to say that [tag]Michael Jackson[/tag]’s Thriller is one of the best records ever made, an album that brought a dose of fresh funk and at a same time a dash of claustrophobia to the back then transitioning music scene. It was the album, with song for everyone and anytime, from rock to soul, thus Michael’s Thriller got to influence much of the ’80s and although he is now just a shadow…
Talented Jacksonville “heart breaker” is back with a new video, this time for the slow paced, chilling “Follow The Lights.” Much like the whole song, the video lacks passion and as result gets terribly dull. It features Ry chopping his guitar and singing the song, while a pretty down dude walks through a empty, uninhabited home. Although it’s a bright day, only a few portions of the house are lighted, the man follows these “lights”…
It seems more and more bands are starting to release their material through unconventional and exclusive distribution methods. Only this year there’s been [tag]Paul McCartney[/tag] with his Starbucks Memory Almost Full, the famous [tag]Prince[/tag] Verizon mobile released single “Guitar,” [tag]Eagles[/tag] comeback album “Long Road To Eden” released exclusively in Walmart stores and a lot lot more. We live in a digital age of piracy, so I guess artists have to find new ways of promoting…
It’s been a while since we’ve heard or seen anything new from the intoxicating rapper [tag]Snoop Dogg[/tag], except for maybe that reality show, but now it seems he’s trying a comeback and his taking the ’80s with too. His latest video “Sensual Seduction,” released today, features Snoop singing in auto-tune, in a 80’s background ranging from the crappy editing and filming to the cheap ass disco clothes. Well… interesting. “Sensual Seduction” is the first single…
There’s little things that could shock us right now, from behalf of goth dork [tag]Marilyn Manson[/tag], he’s bought some Nazi memorabilia and a child skeleton (buy a real one and I’ll be impressed!), done a semi-sextape with his barely legal girlfriend Rachel Wood and a lot more “disturbing” stuff. This time Marlyn wants to enter Guiness Record Books; to do this he intends to enter a tube filled with 87 venomous snakes and stay there…
Ok, we admit, we got rick rolled. Apparently the highly publicized albumsix.com website that has sprung up news alleging [tag]Weezer[/tag] will be releasing its sixth album, is all a big lie, hoax, banana oil, bunco, con or plain old bull****. The dudes behind the website admitted they never believed things would go so far and expected the band’s official to close their mouths, but nothing happened. A few days ago they debunked Weezer’s new album,…
I knew the Whites had a thing for read, but their taking it to a whole new level in their new video, for the Corky Robbins-penned “Conquest.” Here, Jack is a matador in a hispanic arena, dueling a really bad ass bull. Soon Jack and the bull embark in a deadly dance of blood as he dodges and repeatedly stabs the oversized cow. Jack is however a man with a big heart and can’t manage…
