New Coldplay video: ‘Lost!’

When Viva la Vida came out back in June, I was wrongful to hastefully criticize the album without putting enough consideration into it. Thing is, I really didn’t want to put that much thought into the band’s music at the time, since I’ve never been a fan. I don’t know what happened next, but I decided to give the album a chance and gave it 6-7 consecutive runs one day, and it totally got stuck…

Bloc Party get way too ‘Intimate’ on their new LP cover

The above …err… caption, is the new covert art for Bloc Party’s third LP, “Intimacy.” However, this new version is for the record’s physical release of October 28th, as the old cover was for the already out digital release. Compare the two, and then let me know which of them seems more prettier. The old serif font on a dull background or two passion lovers engaging in fluid exchange (you can even see the saliva!…

New Against Me! video: ‘Borne On The FM Airwaves of the Heart’

With all this political mambo jambo flying around lately everywhere, Florida punkers Against Me! couldn’t have picked a better time to exist.

Josh Groban goes through 30 Years of TV Themes at the 2008 Emmys

Josh, dude, that was freaky!

Just like the VMAs or Oscars, I just don’t give a shit about the Emmys. However, this weekend (September 21), when this year’s 60th Emmys were held, something pathetically fun occurred, which, I’m sad to say, I regret not saying it live. I mean, I’m still watching this stuff as I type and I’m almost rolling over the floor! Yes, I’m talking about the now…

There you have it folks, the first official AC/DC video in a very, very long time is finally out! “Rock N’ Roll Train” is the first single off the Aussie hard rockers’ latest album, “Black Ice,” the first in eight years. As far as the video goes, it seems like it’s been copy/pasted off the rest of the bunch, but we don’t mind it all, because the song simply rocks! You know, it has the…

Pinback kicks off autumn tour

Pinback’s last year Autumn of the Seraphans was really awesome for me, with a lot of great hooks and memorable riffs. Anyway, what better way to promote the album then an autumn tour? No pun intended, of course. The tour kicks off tonight, in Dallas, and is set to keep the band all busy the whole months of September and October. Joining Pinback on stage, during the curse of the tour, will be Kylesa, sBach…
