Tibi PuiuI’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…
New Common [ft. Lily Allen] video: ‘Drivin’ Me Wild’
If 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…
The Cure postpones American fall tour
In a apparent very sincere and from the heart press release, The Cure band members announced that they were forced to postpone their October/November US tour to spring time, due to schedueling issues, that intertwine with the groups studio project. They said: “The schedule as it stands only gives us a couple of weeks to finish our new double album before we hit the road again, and we know this just isn’t enough time to…

New Bat for Lashes video: ‘What’s A Girl To Do’
Brighton’s own Natasha Khan and her crew from Bat for Lashes have once again released a kick ass video, of hypnotic proportions: ‘What’s A Girl To Do’. The video looks like a classic horror flick intro, creepy piano lines and pulsing beats, with of course the usual BFL anomalies, like a band of mascot headed bicyclists riding behind Natasha K. and doing syncs. Director Douglas Wilson has really done a great job on capturing the…
New Girls Aloud video: ‘Sexy! No, No, No…’
We haven’t heard anything new from [tag]Girls Aloud[/tag] for some time, but now they’re back and in full throttle with a smashing new single “Sexy! No,No,No…”, the first one off their upcoming still untitled fifth studio album. The girls have called the song ‘edgy’ and as the video goes, it’s edgy alright, actually very sharp. The video is quite intertwined, with a lot of layers and “micro-worlds”, if you see the video you’ll know where…
Catch Queens of the Stone Age on tour this fall
When i get to talk about [tag]Queens of the Stone Age[/tag], It’s just so easy to write and to lay my words on ‘paper’, I mean there’s no secret I love this band to the death (not really, it’s just a figure of speech), their music has influenced my musical taste in a unimaginable degree, I could even go to such lengths and say I’ve discovered Rock’n’Roll alongside them. Few bands can light up a…
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…
New Animal Collective video: ‘Peacebone’
Uff! Just when i thought I’ve seen a lot of weird videos in my life, here’s [tag]Animal Collective[/tag] to correct me once more, with their latest video “Peacebone”, the first single of their upcoming 9/11 Strawberry Jam. The video features a very “lovely”, if you could say so, couple of err… freaks, aliens or whatever, engaging in day to day girlfriend/boyfriend activities: picnics near the countryside, a little go through the Merry-Go-Round and of course…
Bob Dylan biopic “I’m Not There” trailer
“I’m Not There” is a the on screen biography of one of todays biggest, living rock legends, [tag]Bob Dylan[/tag]. What’s makes this different from all the other biopics, is the fact that the character of Bob Dylan will be played by 6 different actors, all for different periods of his life. So Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Marcus Carl Franklin, Richard Gere, Heath Ledger, and Ben Whishaw will each play Dylan, a brilliant move or just…
