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…
A while ago, we told you about how Eminem will release 2 albums, and guess what. Now, 50 Puppy Dogg cent is doing the same thing, only according to him, it’s not the same thing. Whatever, idiots and 10 year old aside, I’m sure we can all draw the conclusions here. His first album ‘Before I Self Destruct’ was due for December, but it seems it will be released in June, and it will be…
In this first quarter of ’09 we’ve been graced with some pretty amazing compilation albums. Actually, they were of such a surprising quality, that I can go as far as saying they’re even better than most of the regular releases we’ve seen so far. There’s the incredible indie compilation Dark Was The Night or the all star cast of Heroes, and now yet another great various artists release, a refreshing cover compilation, suggestively titled “Covered,…
After he announced a streak of comeback shows it seems the whole world has gone into a huge frenzy to get tickets; and they’re not even on pre-sale yet (they’ll be on March 11). I can only imagine how it will be on Wednesday morning. Or, can I?? I mean c’mon, massive massive traffic was expected of course, but this just seems to much. I mean 16.000 hits per second, just do the math, that’s…
When the wind picked up – the fire spread And the grapevines scene, left for dead And the northern sky looked like the end of days The end of days In, what you’d normally call a normal, happy suburban community, fires sweep through the greapvine. For a young couple, though, hope is not lost, for they know “it’s gonna be alright” and life will continue on with its natural, animated course. Still, beyond the tune’s…
There’s still a long time to go until Veckatimes’ May 26th release date, even though it leaked and anyone who can operate a torrent site can download it, know that you’ll soon be able have a taste of the real thing since Grizzly Bear will immediately part on a North American tour in support of their upcoming LP. If you haven’t seen the band live before, book a ticket right away and count the days…
Röyksopp’s new video for its latest single “Happy Up Here” is quite the coolest thing to drop off the internets in the last couple of… minutes. Hey, the internet is a very cool place, so don’t be fooled – this is definitely an awesome visual experience. Imagine this, high end graphics + space invaders + a city in distres = Röyksopp madness! Check out the video bellow. “Happy Up Here” is out as a single…
One of my very favourite things I’ve seen on Youtube over the years was Mike Patton, giving an interview at Lollapalooza. He talks about his upcoming projects – some Italian music, and probably a record consisting solely of him gurgling on some turps, while jabbing a violin into some children’s eyes (although he neglects to mention that one) – before getting distracted by the strains of Wolfmother playing on a stage nearby. He administers a…
I know. 99% of the time, music journalism isn’t very helpful. It’s, at best, pretentious attempts to appear to be gripping the zeitgeist, and at worst, thinly-veiled marketing schemes disguised as a semi-cogent thought process. But I feel that here at ZME, we can be something more. An agent of virtue – a voice that’s willing to champion the good and stamp on the bad. A veritable He-Man amongst Cringers. At the very least, we…
“The Crying Light”, the latest LP signed Anthony and The Johnsons, is a beautiful 10 track set, that lifts you up and transcends the mind to distant, carefree lands. It’s truly a magical experience. Aeon is quite possibly the most impressive song off The Crying Light, a song that Anthony and co. performed recently at the Late Show with David Letterman, now available bellow. The live tune doesn’t affect its flavor one bit, although the…
