I’ve already talked a bit about Coldplay’s “Lost+” remix by Jay-Z, back sometime in October. Like I said before, it isn’t anything too extravagant, like Jay-Z’s ‘Encore’ with Linkin Park, but rather something just different – a well received diversification. The video for Lost+ just came out a few hours ago and frankly, on this department, it’s not at all impressive. What they did was just adding some Jay-Z pseudo-cameos (in a TV-set…), over Coldplay’s…
Currently, the hippest name out at the box office today, is none other then the new James Bond flick, Quantum of Solace. I got the chance to see the movie last week at the mall with some friends and it rocked our socks off. A bit too much gore and less charm from Daniel Craig (he only shagged just one woman after all..), but an awesome film, nonetheless. Anyway, I just stumble across a cool…
Since he released his brilliant debut album, “For Emma, Forever Ago,” last year, Bon Iver has been a bit scarassed with new material on us. Not anymore, though, as he’ll be releasing a new 4 track EP soon, titled “Blood Bank,” which will soon be in stores in UK/Ireland on January 19 and the U.S. on January 20, via Jagjaguwar Records. The format of the EP will be CD and download. Bon Iver will also…
This year’s Microcastle by Deerhunter was really beautiful from multiple points of view. I was really impressed by it, and considering I’m not a very big fan of the artsy genre, that says a lot. “Cover Me (Slowly)” and the title track, “Microcastle,” are two of my favorite tracks of the record – the first, a great soothing trip down chill-ville, too bad it’s a bit short; the other, a very upbeat song which just,…
Here’s something you don’t see everyday. Rob Stefaniuk, a dime a dozen producer, is set to write and direct a movie called – get ready for this – ‘SUCK,’ which will, apparently, star Alice Cooper, Moby, Iggy Pop and Henry Rollins, alongside Malcom McDowell (Heroes, Halloween) and Jessica Pare. The movie’s plot is fairly simple: a band of vampires that rock! The whole movie wants to be a fun satire, in which a group of…
When asked about their favorite Nirvana record, almost everybody, including yours trully, will fermly reply “Nevermind.” Smells Like Teen Spirit, Lithium, Come As You Are etc. One of the most influencial album of the last 20 years, nonetheless. Besides it’s music, Nevermind is also famous for the notorious baby in a swimming pool, chasing a one dollar bill. Kurt Cobain had a thing for subtle representations of society’s gaps. Anyway, I just recently found out…
First I was stocked by the new EODM album art, then I got really jumpy when the official video for the first single Wannabe in LA come up, but I finally got my copy of Heart On the day before yesterday I was really close to climax. I won’t go ahead with the actual spinning of the CD, as it involves wet pants. Whatever. Anyway, yesterday Jesse Hughes, joined by some QOTSA maestros, including a…
M.I.A. and Baltimore’s own Blaqstarr teamed up to do a Way Down in the Hole (Tom Waits) cover, mixing up various versions of the song that can be found as the theme song for The Wire. The song itself isn’t fantastic, but like any song featuring M.I.A. it has some crazy beats! In the hands of a capable DJ, this could rock a few clubs silly. From the video’s end, It’s clearly low budget, and…
OK. I’m totally stocked right now, after seeing the video bellow of young Sungha, playing Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” flawlessly at only 10 years. I’ll leave it to you to comment.
The new video for The Streets’ latest single, “Heaven for the Weather,” isn’t nearly as melodramatic as the last one, for Everything is Borrowed. This latest installment features the honorable Dr. M. Skinner, a sorta cult guru, who has a huge fan base of people who worship his book, ‘Get Low.’ Who knows what hidden paths to enlightenment this fictional book might contain, but I’m pretty sure it’s got some pretty slick scientologic rhymes.
