Some time ago we uploaded [tag]Bruce Springsteen[/tag] latest single “Radio Nowhere” and put it out for download, now the video for this awesome track has surfaced. It’s great we can get a glimpse of the E Street band in videos for a change, I honestly feel their terribly underrated. The video itself is made out of bits of big city life society (traffic, crowds, tall buildings etc) and Boss featuring E Street jamming.
Indie rave trio [tag]Klaxons[/tag] have managed to win the British annual 2007 Mercury Prize, for their revolutionary debut album “Myths of the Near Future”. The competition was far from easy, with such contenders as: [tag]Amy Winehouse[/tag]’s “Back to Black”, [tag]Arctic Monkeys[/tag]’s “Favourite Worst Nightmare”, [tag]Dizzee Rascal[/tag]’s “Maths + English” and loads of other great brit bands.

Portland based experimental band Menomena are back with a new video about “the bird and the bees”, a tale of love or circle of life documentary, you’ll be the judge of that. The “Evil Bee” video has succeeded in diverging my focus entirely on the video, barely noticing the song at all, and that’s a big thumbs up for director Stefan Nadelman. Glasses of redish liquid are carries across assembly lines, until finally they reach…

The end of labor is to gain leisure. Aristotle I guess there isn’t a working class man that isn’t aware of the importance of today, I mean you get the whole day off, right ? Labor Day is a federal American holiday that is ironically celebrated in the spirit of labor, by rest and a whole lot of barbeques. I live outside of the US, but as I’m not part of the work force, I’ll…

The mp3 is of Zach’s second album The Flying Club Cub, set for October 9, an album that we’re all looking forward too, as it seems very promising. If you didn’t knew who sang it, you might think…
A few days ago it was sadly announced, via the bands MySpace, that their lead guitarist Colin Mee has left the band and that they are now once again a four piece band. Apparently the reasons why Colin left the band were that the tours were a “strain on his schedule” and the what the band “stood for in the media didn’t reflect anything about his tastes or values”. The band have already played a…
