Although he’s been under some heavy critique lately, especially after that little Norwegian Wood incident, Josh Homme is still a more then capable artist, and last year’s Era Vulgaris more then proves that. However, QOTSA isn’t the only thing keeping him busy, as his garage side project with Jesse Hughes, Eagles of Death Metal, is prepping to release a new album in October. Those familiar with the band know the band shines with devilish eccentricity,…
It’s no secret I’m a huge fan of the upcoming Quantum Solace flick, who’s soundtrack is under more then capable hands with Jack White and Alicia Keys onboard. Now, it seems Jack and Coca-Cola have team up for the new Coke Zero commercial, that has Bond theme and vibe to it. The song in the background was obviously made by Jack White with Bond-like themed riffs and heavy beats. Oh, and guess what the predominant…
The Aussie hard rock veterans, AC/DC, have just finished mapping the first North American leg of their upcoming massive tour, in preparation for the much anticipated “Black Ice” album. The band is set to get onboard the rock train immediately after Black Ice gets out, as Brian Johnson and co. will first salute those about to rock in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania on October 28th, after calling it a wrap on December 18th in Charlotte, NC. Along…
B. B. King is not the artist that sold the most albums in the world, he’s not the artist that attracted the biggest crowd at a concert, but he’s an artist that can release more passion and feeling in a single note than most guitarists can give in a lifetime. Perhaps the most respected blues player of all time, B. B. King is believed to be the third-greatest guitarist of “the 100 greatest guitarists of…
Here’s something I managed to grab off a cool thread on 7chan (no, I don’t hang out there, but a WoW buddy linked me). Yup, that’s Enter Sandman on a rhythm of lol cats. Now, that’s what I call LOL.
Bon Iver took Conan O’Bien’s Late Night show by storm, last night, after Justin Vernon and the rest of the gang made their US nation-wide television debut with a stelar performance of “Flume,” as part of their 08 tour in support of the debut album. A well deserved shout out to Conan for the impecable pronounciation (obviously, I didn’t know it right, till now.). Also, if you’re looking for more Bon Iver goodness check out…
Man, Bloc Party’s taking the whole surprise, out of the blue effect a bit too serious, to the point of exaggeration even. After releasing their latest LP, “Intimacy,” on a very short notice a few weeks ago, the band has now premiered a new single, “Talons,” that off Intimacy, but the thing is it wasn’t present on the digital release, as Kele were saving it to add an even greater effect to the spontaneous album….
Haha, you gotta give it to those Canadians, they really know how to crash a party. During Oasis’ set on last night’s Toronto Virgin Festival, right in the middle of “Morning Glory,” a dude from the crowd came from out of the nowhere and put a good shuv on Noel Gallagher, causing him to fell off the stage. The band took some good 10 minutes to recover and then returned to complete their set. In…
At last Sunday’s Disney VMA’s Kanye West premiered a new song, performing the new drumline-backed Love Lockdown (stereogum). Now, apparently Kanye’s not only rolling out new songs, but also a new album. No official word has been released by either Kanye or his publicist, but retail sites like Amazon and Target are listing LP4 under the title 808’s & Heartbreak with a release date of 12/16, so this seems as real as it can be….
Boy, oh boy. Folks, there’s a new Quantum Solace trailer on the horizon and let me tell you that from these short, but intense, 2 minutes this is gonna be a one heck of a ride. I mean the franchize has really gonne to a whole different level once Craig joined in as Bond. He definitely adds a lot of depth and feel into the character; definitely the best Bond ever. Btw for those of…
