SNL’s satire music video I’m on a Boat stirred a lot of comments when it first surfaced more than half a year ago, bashing auto-tune and the current MTV scene. Looks like some well intended good-doers decided to capitalize on the video’s viral success and produce a hilarious spoof to help raise money and donate [...]
We’ve raved about auto-tune, T-Pain and the likes before, but this track right here is sheer gold for anyone left with a sower taste after channeling through MTV nowadays. A while ago, Jay-Z released a called D.O.A. (death of auto-tune), in which he openly condemned the overuse of auto-tune in the mainstream scene today. “This [...]

Hooray! I love when I get to talk about Irish indie heroes Ham Sandwich, as I’ve done before here, wherein I recount how their gig both melted my face, and rescultped it in a new, smiling, more handsome fashion. But now? Now I bring news of their new single, Out of the Darkness, which is [...]
I like Weezer, I really do, even though everybody nowadays is up and about calling them sell outs and the likes. The band just found a winning formula, producing music that’s fun and easy to relate to. If you’re on the ‘Weezer sell out’ bandwagen too, keep this in mind: Weezer will never, ever produce [...]
“The Unforgettable Fire” is, questionably or not, the first U2 album that managed to finally deliver a cohesive and uninfluenced sound. Upon it’s release in 1985, it topped every chart and solidified the band’s position as the number one rock act of the moment. It’s no wonder that for it’s 25th anniversary, The Unforgettable Fire [...]
“Nowhere Boy” is the most recent movie in the wave of deceased artist biopics that have been produced in the past few years - this time it’s all about John Lennon. This isn’t a movie that goes behind the curtains of his Beatles days, however. Instead, it’s a chronicle of childhood and troubled teenaged years [...]
I’m sure I’ve mentioned at least a couple thousand times before how stoked I am about Wolfmother’s sophomore release. For the last week or so, Wolfmother’s new album, “Cosmic Egg“, has been streaming in its entirety down at the band’s myspace, and, so far, there hasn’t been a day in which I’m not heavily streaming [...]
Last week, the annual The Future of Music Coalition Policy Summit took place in Washington DC, making the US capitol the most densely populate place on Earth with record industry people. Here, artists, entrepreneurs, record label officials, PR companies, tech enthusiasts, music critics and other diverse individuals with more or less tight ties to the [...]
While I was shamelessly burning my workplace’s broadband on youtube, forums and reddit I stumbled across this hilarious Beatles coloring book from way back in 1964. It features the fab four in various scenes, like Paul brushing his teeth, Ringo showing up his bling, George tripping like hell or the whole band enjoying some tea, [...]
