In a previous article, I expressed how much it surprised me to see the likes of Jack Johnson top the charts, with music that is nowhere near mainstream. In my opinion, music desperatly needs this acoustic/folk/soft rock genre to thrive, because it’s quite unique and distinct from what is generally sung today, bringing a much needed breath of fresh air, inspiration, and a fantastic message. Aren’t you tired of a world filled with Britney and…
Well mates, concerning this record I’ve heard pretty much anything that could be imagined, and even more. It seems to be just an illusion, closing in on you and making promises only to dissapear again in the shadow of Axl’s dark robe. His children, led by Buckethead, seem ready to continue the music, but the dark man himself is not ready. Will it be good? Will it be bad? Those answers don’t make sense anymore….
Just months after releasing his latest record, Memory Almost Full, ex-fab four Paul McCartney is making plans for a new album. New material has already been written in vast majority and actual recordings have also started, as detailed by Paul’s publicist: “Paul started recording last week, but he has been writing for a while. It should be ready by the summer.” Rumors have it, Paul’s working with producer Youth, famous for prodicing Guns N’ Roses’…
Were pretty fun. Wasn’t able to watch the event live, because of the whole time frame and stuff, it was something like 4 AM here when the Oscars aired. But I somehow managed to refrain myself from finding out the winners, as I find the element of surprise to create suspense and I love suspense; anyway I watched a rerun of the Academy Awards, a few hours ago. My general impression was somewhat favorable, maybe…
One of my favorite electronica group, the duo of Goldfrapp are releasing their forth studio effort, titled “Seventh Tree;” a record that’s somewhat strayed a bit from their more conventional work, but in my opinion, in a better direction. It’s more soulful and alive, qualities that will definitely enlarge their already packed fan base tenfold. Having stayed, almost all of her professional life, in the shadow of his iconic brother, Janet Jackson will also release…
This is just one of those things that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Not because of the act itself, but rather because the man who made the sale is Paul Mawhinney, a 68-year-old man who is legally blind after having suffered a couple of strokes. The Pennsylvania man says he can finally retire because someone has bought his massive collection of vinyl albums, singles and CDs on EBay for the price he…
Some songs are way serious, while others are just hilarious. But the thing is a very serious tune could be turned into an even more hilarious one; this is what Weird Al does best. He can sing, he can rap, he can play guitar, and he’s a comedy genius. We’re gonna let the parodies speak for themselves so without further ado, here are two of his best parodies (hard to choose just two, probably we’ll…
It was clear from the very start, when we saws Goldfrapp’s video for its latest single A&E, that the duo have strayed a bit from the electro sound, that defined them in Black Cherry and Supernature. The same goes with the rest of Seventh Tree, Goldfrapp’s upcoming record, set for a release next week (February 26th). Some believe the record sounds a bit boring and too poppy. I disagree, I’m quite digging it actually; it’s…
Fresh after their double Grammy Award winning night, where they also performed the show’s most intense live performance, the Foo Fighters reveal they’d fancy doing a follow-up to last year’s Echoes Silence Patience & Grace in the near future. We’re already working on songs,” bassist Nate Mendel tells Billboard.com. “We’ve got a handful of them that we’re working on at sound check, which has never really happened, so we’re getting a good start. The band’s…
Well Joe Perry was the featured guest on Eddie Trunk’s “Friday Night Rocks” radio show on New York’s Q104.3 FM February 15. In case you didn’t catch it, you missed out. Joe talked about several things, from his son to a new Aerosmith album.First, he revealed that he is doing two shows with his sons’ band Tab The Band. They will play Aerosmith stuff, Joe Perry stuff, original stuff, covers, and much more. Sounds pretty…
