OK, this is getting pretty preposterous. Just a few months ago, Trent Reznor and his Nine Inch Nails, released their latest studio effort, the 36 track long instrumental album Ghosts. The album was released in numerous formats, mostly digital, of which one was free (7 tracks long) and was more or less well received. Now, it seems the band are back with a new album, just a dozen weeks after NIN released their previous record,…
Out furiously promoting his latest Greatest Hits compilation, the revered Morrissey dropped off on the Late Night Show with Craig Ferguson, both yesterday and the day before that. That’s twice in a row. Talk about a groundhog day. There, he played “All You Need Is Me” and “Irish Blood, English Heart.” ~All You Need Is Me – 28/04/08 ~ Irish Blood, English Heart – 29/04/08
The famous Pink Floyd pig, which nowadays can only be seen live on Roger Waters gigs, has mysteriously disappeared at Coachella on Sunday (April 27). The giant inflatable pig, part of Pink Floyd’s stage show since their 1977 iconic LP “Animals,” simply broke free from its tethers above the Coachella crowd and drifted off. Organisers are offering a $10,000 reward and four festival tickets for life in exchange for Waters’ signature pig, which was seen…
Yesterday was truly a sad day for people all around the world, when Dr. Albert Hofmann, better known as the father of LSD, died at the age of 102. Dr. Albert synthesised lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) in 1938 and became the first person in the world to experience a full-blown acid trip. A moment of silence for the man, who’s brain child, made possible works of art from the likes of Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd,…
Nick Cave just announced a busy touring schedule for the rest of the year, recently, for both him and his Bad Seeds, to promote their most recently released LP Dig, Lazaurs, Dig!!!. The band will first play a over month long tour in Europe, with the first show kicking off tonight (April 29th) in Paris, after which they’ll head out to North America, a bit later though. About 5 months late to be more exact,…
Scarlett’s musical debut is right around the corner, in the form of the Tom Waits cover songs exclusive “Anywhere I Lay Head.” Bellow you can check out the video for Falling Down, the first track from the upcoming album, set to get out on May 20th. In it we can follow Scarlett through her daily life as she gets lost in transition (what subtletly). Although I have a now notoriously huge crush on her, I…
I was really heartbroken when I came to sense I couldn’t possibly make it to this year’s Coachella Festival. I’ve always been a fan of this wonderful weekend musical extravaganza, even though a lot of people have been a bit disappointed with this edition’s lineup. Dudes, Coachella is still Coachella, no matter what bands play it. Anyway, one of the bands that played there, this last weekend of 25-27 April, was none other then Cansey…
Finally, the trip hop pioneers of Portishead are back with their long awaited third album, suggestively titled “Third”, the band’s first record in 10 years! Then there’s “Rising Down,” the latest, highly anticipated studio effort from behalf of The Roots. Possibly this week’s highlight, however, is “Hard Candy,” the latest album from “the queen of pop,” Madonna. Another highly interesting release is Foxboro Hot Tubs’ debut album “Stop Drop And Roll;” if you didn’t yet…
