Tibi PuiuIf you found the collaboration between Chicago native [tag]Common[/tag] and English pop star [tag]Lilly Allen[/tag] a tad strange, then you’ll find the video for “Drivin’ Me Wild” even more weirder. There’s Common rapping about, in a impeccable white tux, in his limo, around the streets etc and there’s Lily Allen singing the song’s chorus in a matching white … astronaut suit. Soft beats and down tempo piano line, toped by Lily’s slow and shallow voice…

New Eagles video: ‘How Long’
A week ago we had a sneak peek on [tag]Eagles[/tag]’ first single in 14 years, How Long, now it’s time for the video. Let’s say that old age might have caught up a bit with the mighty birds of pray, as frankly they don’t look very ecstatic in the video, and off it for that matter, for ‘huge’ comeback from 15 years of new release hiatus, i would expect a little more spirit. Anyway, you…
Download: Josh Ritter – ‘To the Dogs or Whoever’
[tag]Josh Ritter[/tag] is the type of artist, as opposed to today’s mainstream stars, who doesn’t sit in long hours studio sessions, just to let the computers do his work. He likes to walk in a studio and just start recording whatever comes to his mind, singing with his heart and mind; the end result can be seen in his latest album, The Historical Conquests Of Josh Ritter, a very raw and passionate release.

Beck releases latest single: ‘Time Bomb’
Yesterday, 20 August, [tag]Beck[/tag] released his latest single “Time Bomb” via iTunes at 0.99$, you can buy it from other download and retail stores starting 28 August. The old man’s still got it, and hits us with a classic Beck single, with electro vibes, annoying piano line, and a ga-ga-ga chorus. At first listen its quite annoying, but it’s grown on me now, quite fun actually, with doom’s day lyrics about ticking bombs, red alerts…

Neil Young with a new album soon
Canadian folk/rock legend [tag]Neil Young[/tag] has recently revealed, at his website, plans to release a new record called “Chrome Dreams II”. You might ask why the “II” ? Apparently Neil had a project called “Chrome Dreams”, way back in 1977, that unfortunately was shelved and never saw the light of day. The new album will feature 10 tracks, 7 brand new ones and 3 which were already written, probably from the old ’77 unreleased LP….
Download: Earlimart – ‘Happy Alone’
California native Earlimart have gone through a lot of changes in their musical style along their 10 years of existence. Their first records were more post-punk/folk influenced, sounding more like Pixies and Sonic Youth, but ever since Aaron Espinoza discovered that adding a piano can drastically improve their music, they’ve been spitting out sophisticated pop, that often resembling Elliott Smith. “Happy Alone” is a slow and melancholic track, off Earlimart’s latest album Mentor Tormentor. Espionoza’s…
