Tibi PuiuSome time ago we did a Thriller 25th anniversary special post, in which we discussed [tag]Michael Jackson[/tag]’s iconic album from its sound to its sales to its legacy. Also back then we mentioned there was gonna be a re-issue with remixes and covers, from the current pop and R&B celebrities. Such a re-edited track is MJ’s smashing Billy Jean, on which [tag]Kanye West[/tag] put his word class producing skills to the test, by infusing some…
The Whigs: single stream and album art
Athens, Georgia garage rock band The Whigs, came under my radar 1 year ago, when the southern duo, back then a trio, were featured on Rolling Stone as “possibly the best unsigned band in America.” A righteous claim I might add, considering they’re surprisingly talented, mixing a blend of late 60’s garage rock and contemporary indie music. Time passed and they eventually got signed by ATO Records, that helped re-release their initial interdependently recorded debut…
GN’R song causes mayhem at school
Andrei Mihai
They have a way of staying in the center of attention even without releasing music or without singing at gigs or in fact without doing anything. What happened is that some teenagers were performing an impromptu after-hours karaoke that resulted in a police response. That was because she believed she was being threatened over the loudspeaker. State police say the teacher at Booth Free School barricaded herself inside a classroom Wednesday when she mistook someone…
Anthrax has room for one more
The veterans made it big in the 1980s and early 1990s and the band was known for its speed, intensity, and genre-crossing 1991 collaboration with Public Enemy on the rappers’ “Bring The Noise.”. Now they have signed up a virtually unknown singer. His name is Dan Nelson and he is a part-time singer and personal trainer from New York. “It really is a dream come true,” Nelson, 31, told Newsday as the announcement was made…

Boy does time fly, we just can’t believe it how this year went by so fast, well ZME Music’s been around for only 6 months, but that’s not important.

Vintage Rilo Kiley video: ‘Wires and Waves’
It was the year 2001 and [tag]Rilo Kiley[/tag] were just making their debut into the indie mainstream with their own lovely Take-Offs and Landings. One of the stand out track was “Wires and Waves,” a heartbreaking now conventional Rilo Kiley anthem, that was also picked for a music video as well. But when you film a video with planes and sing lines like “sometimes planes they smash up in the sky,” right after the 9/11…
Led frontman announces tour dates for 2008
The massive [tag]Led Zeppelin[/tag] reunion gig that took place at the O2 Arena, this Monday, left fans begging for more, sadly this was a one time only. Most probably their last, but Led fans that were disappointed by the lack of a tour, can get the next best thing: Robert Plant. That’s right, this summer will see Rob tour Europe, in support of his highly praised latest album “Raising Sands”, in which he duets with…

Radiohead add more dates
A while back [tag]Radiohead[/tag] announced, on their blog, that further copies of In Rainbows box set will not be produced (guess they’ll get pretty valuable in the future) and that the free download, of the digital In Rainbows, will stop as well, starting from 10 December 2008. Despite the fact they’ve put a bit of a cork on it, the band has decided to gracious with even more tour dates, two to be precise, as…
