Monday night, Wilco simply electrified the whole Coney Island’s Keyspan Park stage with their dazzling performance, going from hit to hit. Jeff Tweedy was simply amazing, particularly, laying some of the finest and cleanest vocals/guitar solos I’ve seen in a live show (thank God for YouTube) all year long. What made the night even more memorable though were the guest appearances…
Props to You Ain’t No Picasso for blogging about this incredible video, featuring a gang of good friends grooving off to Phoenix’s catchy “Lisztomania.” If you find the moves familiar, then your guess is probably right, since this is a tribute to a… tribute. Anyway, wonderful feel good vibe these beautiful gals and gents are emanating. Have a good one!
Next month the highly anticipated third installment in the Sheffield rockers’ catalog, “Humbug,” is due – as such, yet another blazing Arctic Monkeys tour is on the horizon. The album’s production was handled by QOTSA’s Josh Homme and Mobile Disco’s James Ford, and it seems to mark a departure from the Monkeys’ signature sound with which we’ve grown so fondly of. It’s a lot more psychedelic, more marsh and, above all, more adventurous. Yes, this…
Beth Ditto really never ceases to amaze me with her apparent ever replenishing energy. Be it in the studio, on the stage or in a music video, she’s literally everywhere. As it’s the case with most of The Gossip’s video productions, there’s not really much to talk about the music video for the band’s latest single “Heavy Cross,” simply because it’s a tad difficult to understand it. Beth changes like 5 outfits, while the band…
Pictured above is the ACTUAL cover art for “Rain Machine”, the upcoming debut by Kyp Malone, TV on the Radio’s vocals/guitar/keys/beard man. The childish-like, crayon rendition will undoubtedly stir up some sweet memories from one’s grade school days. Yup, those were the days. No worries, no stress, just play, rainbows and naked chicks on lions. Oh, and you guessed it – Kyp drew this one with his very hand. Rain Machine gets out September 22…
Yeah! Girls, think twice before asking of a man like Jack White to treat you like his mother. First, it’s plain weird, I mean what woman would want to babysit a full, grown-man (don’t answer this. We’re guilty enough as it is). Secondly, because he might bust a cap in your ass, as the new video for “Treat Me Like Your Mother” off The Dead Weather’s upcoming debut plainly shows. Quite the automatic showdown between…
Guess it was really just a matter of time until someone thought of shooting a music video solely with an iPhone. I mean, if you can make music on your iPhone, why not shoot a music video too? Makes sense. Showdown Productions LLC, an Ohio based small time production company, just recently finished production on a music video for “Play” by BJSR, using only the new video-capable iPhone 3GS and an improvised camera stabilizer for…
Blitzen Trapper’s last year full length effort “Furr”was with out a doubt their best work as of yet, as well as one of the best album put out in 2008. Since I first listened to it a long, long time ago, the Dylan-esque “Black River Killer” has always struck out to me as the definite stand out amongst the 12 other gems. The Daniel Elkayam directed video shot for it doesn’t fall any shorter as…
It’s really hard not to love Tenacious D, the greatest band in the world! OK, maybe not quite the greatest, but it’s definitely the most awesome satirical duo to ever grace a stage (Flight of the Conchords does a good job in coming up next). Anyway, I was grooving on Tenacious D’s “The Complete Master Works 2” DVD for the 4315161 time now,when it hit me. I had then just realized that up until now,…
Topping this week’s Box Office, the second installment in the Transformers franchise, “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” is one hell of a blockbuster. Being a big Transformers fan myself since the early cartoon days, I just couldn’t have left the theater not loving it, although I have to admit I kinda prefer the first one. If you saw it too, chances have it you weren’t just impressed by it’s multitude of stunning visuals, but also…
