Almost a month ago me and Andrei invaded Barcelona and painted the town red during our 3 days stay, when we even got to see AC/DC play live at the Estadio Olimpico de Lluis Company. Chances had it, though, that we weren’t able to prolong our stay a few more weeks so we might squeeze [...]
Just got word of some pretty sad news, seems like one of the most nicest artists in the indie scene, Jens Lekman, unfortunately contracted the all too dreaded and excessively publicized H1N1 “swine flu” virus during his stay in South America. Apparently Jens felt really sick during his flight back over the Atlantic when he [...]
Quick news thingy: courtesy of the ever-regrettable Pitchfork.com, it’s been revealed that My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James will be releasing an EP of George Harrison covers, entitled Tribute To (through ATO). Consisting of two Beatles songs that Harrison wrote, and four songs from Harrison’s All Things Must Pass solo record. And, in true “I [...]
Awesome news for Flaming Lips fans and neo-psychedelia aficionados alike, as the Oklahomians are set to return with some new material this fall in the form of a double-LP (like x2!). That’s twice as much music, twice as much Wayne Coyne and twice as much fun!
Don’t get too eager now, fellas, since although the album [...]
Did I happen to mention how much I love Twitter? I’m sure I have, nonetheless it never hurts reminding people how remarkable this social media giant is. Everybody’s using it. Now, it’s really easy for people to feel more connected, and a lot of boundaries between people have been eliminated, whether they were of physical [...]
A €15 entrance fee reminds me of the extortionate charge you’d pay to watch your mate’s brother bash out his unique brand of death metal improv in the local badly lit, badly attended, ‘rock’ venue (and in the time it took me to say that, you would have already spent it again at the bar).
But [...]
Don’t threat people, there’s nothing really going on with the all-ladies Brooklyn trio, apart from releasing a new, juicy album that is. Last year’s incredible, albeit very short self-titled gained the Vivian Girls a lot of praise, especially from behalf of music blogs like the one you’re reading now, but also attracted some criticism because [...]
Kanyes West is a very … let’s say, up front man. He’s always likes to be at the center of everybody’s attention and is well know for being a big douche. Yes, I tried avoiding that word as much as I could, but it’s just not possible under his circumstances. He just embowers douchbaggery in [...]
I wasn’t left very much impressed by Beastie Boys‘ last album, the all instrumental The Mix-up. Sure, it had some really nice beats, on which you could easily groove to, but at the same time it kinda felt a bit repetitive. My more or less disappointment was caused, however, by the sentiment of loathing for [...]
If you’ve been living in a cave for the last few weeks then the highly hyped Blink 182 reunion might come as a surprise. We really don’t have much time to explain what went on, so just follow the previous link if you want more details. What’s important though is that, what’s possibly, the most [...]
