The holidays are just weeks away and this also reflects into poor releases, being that special time of the year when new records are kept to minimum, but not necessary in quality. Shinning this week is indisputably the invigorated [tag]Kylie Minogue[/tag], with her latest 10th album, suggestively titled “X”. [tag]Genesis[/tag] and live got well together, so the band’s latest record “Live Over Europe” should please a lot of fans. Ireland’s most famous boy band [tag]Westlife[/tag]…
Their initial reunion shock hype has died off a bit, so it’s a good thing the band’s taking it a step at a time, with new updates each week. Feels like a soap opera already. This week [tag]My Bloody Valentine[/tag]’s manager has announced the band intends to pull a Radiohead-wise stunt and release, their much awaited followup to the classic 1991 “Loveless,” as a digital download. Don’t expect a freebie though, according to manager Vinita…
Last week we were all syked, when [tag]Weezer[/tag] finally revealed some details regarding their sixth studio effort, announce a definite release date for April 22. Now, the band’s bassist Scott Shriner, broke a bit of tension by responding to a few albumsix related questions and announcing the record’s official name: “Tout Ensamble.” Which, from my limited knowledge, I believe is French for “all in all'” or something like that, if any one’s got a better…
[tag]Nine Inch Nails[/tag] fans, around the world, were exited about the release of the 1337 R3M1X album of Year Zero, titled Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D, however those whom actually like to contribute with material and remixes of the band’s tracks were terribly disappointed when the album’s accompanying website, remixes.nin.com, wasn’t launched. Apparently Doug Morris and Universal Records doesn’t want the website released, designed as a hub for submission and discussion of fan remixes, as they don’t want be…
[tag]Led Zeppelin[/tag] fans around the world were ravished, when the band announced they had to postpone their long awaited reunion gig, due to Jimmy Page’s broken left small finger. Hotel reservations, plane tickets and other were lost, but now fans have a new reason to rejoice: Led will play one of their old songs that hadn’t been played live before, ever! When talking about the band’s pre-reunion show rehearsals, guitarist Jimmy Page said they’ve been…
This week sees the most appreciated DJ duo [tag]Daft Punk[/tag] release their second live album “Alive 2007,” recorded during their set in Bercy, Paris. Skid Row fans will probably rejoice, as it’s former frontman Sebastian Bach releases his latest solo record “Angel Down”; so far previewers say “the metal album of the year, if not the 21st Century so far.” This should be interesting. One of my favorite albums of the year, “Year Zero” by…
A lot of die hard fans have been waiting for this for a long time, but apparently their wait is soon to come to a end, as [tag]Paul McCartney[/tag] stated, earlier today, that [tag]The Beatles[/tag] catalog is soon to be released digitally as well, sometime in 2008. McCartney tells Billboard.com that “it’s all happening soon. Most of us are all sort of ready. The whole thing is primed, ready to go — there’s just maybe…
Most of the rock scene was in shock last week, after the [tag]My Bloody Valentine[/tag] frontman Kevin Shields announced that the band will be reforming and not only that, but will be releasing a new record soon as well. The interview was conducted by Ian Zvenonious, in a really casual manner at a local London pub, as part of vbs.tv’s Soft Focus series. Head over to the official Soft Focus page and check out the…
Last week the [tag]White Stripes[/tag] mad a mystery press release on their website, announcing that they’ll be releasing a few brand new tracks, a secret collaboration with a big artist and a new music video. Well I have to admit that the whole thing’s been bugging me this week, but luckily before I had any chance to deviate into paranoia, the Whites reveled their secrets. Firstly the mystery collaborator is none other then uber producer…
Happy day boys and girls! At last some facts and info about [tag]Weezer[/tag]’s upcoming sixth studio effort, have been revealed.
