Is Bob Dylan the man or what? As if it wasn’t enough he’s the crowing figure of the entire beat generation, he’s now defying both time and, well, mediocre mortal conceptions, by releasing a new LP, his 46th album to be more exact, very soon. As previously reporated, Bob Dylan’s new album, now dubbed “Together Through Love,” came out more or less out of an accident, since he wrote a song for French director Olivier…
The follow-up to Grizzly Bear’s breakthrough album has been in high anticipation by the whole indie scene for some time now, and, while these little teasers are all fun and all, the May release date is just killing us! The most recent of these teasers, after the initial unveiling of the album name from last week, dubbed “Veckatimes”, after an uninhabited island on the Massachusetts coast, is the cover art (as seen above) and tracklist…
Mastodon’s new album, “Crack The Skye”, is just a few couple of week away, but, even so, anticipation grows ever unbearable, especially with the annoyingly awesome teasers the band’s promo company do. Above is pictured the official art work for Crack The Skye, definitely too abstract and packed with symbolism for all of us to fully comprehend. An impaled bear walking over the globe, two twin Tsar genies (two Rasputins, more likely), levitating a globe…
2009 will definitely be an interesting year for music – a lot more inspiring and pleasant than 2008, that’s for sure. The latest issue of Billboard tries to do a rundown of this year’s upcoming releases, although mainly mainstream-only acts, mentioning artists like Kelly Clarkson, 50 Cent, Eminem, Franz Ferdinand, U2 and a few more. Among them was also Chris Cornell, a man I’ve always admired and looked up to, because of his extraordinary talent…
Yup, that’s the new cover art for U2’s upcoming twelfth studio effort, “No Line on the Horizon,” and while many hail it as one of the worse album art of the decade, we kinda find it okay, in a zen sorta way. The gray ocean horizon thingy was shot by Hiroshi Sugimoto, a Japanese photographer, symbolizing the never-ending horizon and the eternity of dreams. Ok, I get that, but what about that big ass, gray…
Awesome as it may be, I can’t help stareing and wondering what each element in Royksopp’s new cover art, for the duo’s upcoming album “Junior”, represents. Trippy eyes + lashes, melted plastic, grinded asphalt, a ’50s telephone call by a isteric, but beautiful lady (Yeah, you can tell a lot about a women by looking at her hands) and, of course, the two electro Norwegians, all make interesting subjects for thought. Junior is out March…
Last year’s “Alone,” by Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo, was pretty awesome, of course, in a geekish, fun way. You know, it’s Weezer, more or less. Anyway, I was pretty much exited when I heard I will get the chance to hear some new, unreleased materials from Rivers this year, as he’ll be releasing a new solo compilation record in the form of “Alone II.” I’ve always loved compilations of unreleased tracks, B-sides or various band…
I didn’t want to believe it when I first heard “Chinese Democracy” was gonna finally go live sometime this year, but it seems more and more veridic that the fact is, indeed, happening! The 14 years album in the making by what’s left of the Guns N’ Roses, just a shadow of its former, glorious self, is, as previously reported a while back, going to officially hit BestBuy stores (where the album will be released…
The new album from The Killers, Day & Age, is right around the corner, with the release date of November 25th, getting ever closer. By the way, you’ve heard what other album lands on November 25th, right? I wasn’t really thrilled by the band’s latest single, Human, when it got out, but I’m confident Brandon and the rest of the gang can produce at least an equally satisfactory album as Sam’s Town. Above is pictured…
The above …err… caption, is the new covert art for Bloc Party’s third LP, “Intimacy.” However, this new version is for the record’s physical release of October 28th, as the old cover was for the already out digital release. Compare the two, and then let me know which of them seems more prettier. The old serif font on a dull background or two passion lovers engaging in fluid exchange (you can even see the saliva!…
