Tibi PuiuHard rock musician [tag]Jack Black[/tag] and rapper [tag]Mos Def[/tag] are the staring cast in the uber comedy flick of the summer “Be Kind Rewind”. I just love the premise of the movie: Jerry (Jack Black) is a junkyard worker who tries to sabotage his local power plant, because he thinks it’s harmful, but gets magnetized in the process; walks in his buddy Mike (Mos Def) video rental shop and accidentally erases the content from all…

Download: The Fiery Furnaces – ‘Navy Nurse’
[tag]The Fiery Furnaces[/tag] is a Brooklyn based indie rock band, consisted of two very talented siblings: Matthew and Eleanor Friedberge. A real great band which i’ve been digging for a while now, but which most people confuse it for a [tag]White Stripes[/tag] look-alike, because of the similar garage rock/blues sound and also because Jack and Meg White were considered brother and sister(they’re actually a divorced couple). That’s entirely not true, their a very solid and…

New Go! Team video: ‘Do It Right’
Sounding more like a TV commercial then a music video, [tag]Go! Team[/tag]’s latest video “Do It Right” goes retro, with a ’80s vibe and faded technicolor. The band’s all set in cartoony land, an outburst of colors and shapes, toped by a first-listen annoying chorus, but which later grows and you, after finally settling in. Frontsinger’s, Ninja, rapping is omnipresent, but new the new addition to the band Kaori Tsuchida energetic vocals, in the chorus,…
