The man that I find to be the best and most representative balladeer of new millenium, [tag]Devendra Banhart[/tag] will be releasing a new album called next Tuesday, 25 September. As a more then sufficient sample of his new work Devandra has put out for streaming the whole thing on his myspace, all 16 tracks. Listen it, feel it and buy it!
Artist name: Gloria Estefan Album name: 90 Millas Label: Burgundy Records/SonyBMG Gender: Latino/Pop Release date: September 17, 2007 ZMErating: 8/10 Website: http://www.gloriaestefan.com/ The artist which split from Miami Sound Machine in 1989 has some memorable hits but her most noticeable efforts are her Spanish-language ones. The fact that that language is not understood by everybody may haunt her but it may also bring more fans. It is a two way knife.
Here’s a little gem to take home, a track close to my heart from one of my favorite electro bands LCD Soundsystems, covering one my favorite ’70s artists Harry Nilsson. “Down Into The Fire”, the B side from the Daft Punk Is Playing At My House single, is one of those songs that makes you feel like you’re there with the band, alongside it, rocking your socks out, a real moment of magic. All the…
The Portland sextet Blitzen Trapper are set to commence their North American fall tour this nigh in Wala Wala, Wa. Afterwards they’ll head up hill, until they reach the cold plains of Canada, before arriving in the more warmer shores of Los Angeles, where their close their tour.
You’ve heard it good alright, [tag]Radiohead[/tag] have just added the finishing touches to their latest, still un-titled, upcoming release and are currently pondering the release date, at least that’s what the band’s guitarist Jonny Greenwood told Paste Magazine. “We just had a meeting about that today,” said Greenwood on September 7. “We’re very relieved to have finished recording, now we have to decide what we should do with it.” You can listen to a sample,…
Some time ago we uploaded [tag]Bruce Springsteen[/tag] latest single “Radio Nowhere” and put it out for download, now the video for this awesome track has surfaced. It’s great we can get a glimpse of the E Street band in videos for a change, I honestly feel their terribly underrated. The video itself is made out of bits of big city life society (traffic, crowds, tall buildings etc) and Boss featuring E Street jamming.
Santa Fe natived [tag]Beirut[/tag], the one man band of Zach Condon, has just released its new website and with it a new track, called “A Sunday Smile” has been put up for download to celebrate this moment. The mp3 is of Zach’s second album The Flying Club Cub, set for October 9, an album that we’re all looking forward too, as it seems very promising. If you didn’t knew who sang it, you might think…
Many thanks to GorillavsBear for posting this amazing cover, of Kate Bush’s smashing 1985 single “Running Up That Hill”, by Seattle based noise rock band Chromatics. Running Up That Hill was always a ’80s favorite of mine, and out of all the covers that have surfaced around the years I definitely think this is the best. Ruth Radelet vocals are excellently suited to the sound of distorted harmonicas and guitar chops, the end result is…
[tag]Bruce Springsteen[/tag]’s soon to be released record Magic, with his supportive band E Street, is fast approaching in October, so an album promotion tour was expected to be announced. The tour will feature dates all around the world so everybody can have a piece of ‘The Boss’, starting from the very day Magic will be released, on October 2 in Hartford, Connecticut.
I’m really thrilled Austin based [tag]Okkervil River[/tag] finally decided to make a video for this epic song, filled with melodic twists and aggressive choruses, off a, what seems, a clear winner so far of album of the year: Stage Names. As the video goes it’s somewhat confusing with frame-in-frame action, or TV-in-TV if you wish. Frontman Will Sheff enters a room number 1972 (the year his favorite poet John Berryman committed suicide), where a man…
