Tibi PuiuKanye’s back with yet another video version for his explosive track “Flashing Lights,” the second in a three video series. If you’re memory still serves you well, you’ll recall the first video, directed by Spike Jonze, was centered around a tied up Kanye, a shovel, gasoline and a half-dressed woman. This, second one, directed by Bill Pollock, is a lot more cloudy, ambiguous and especially sexy, most probably because we get to see less Kanye…
Anathema – new album update
Andrei Mihai
Anathema pleased us all again when they announced that they have finished the “Hindsight” album – it’s already been sent to the record company by the masters. As you may (and should have) heard, “Hindsight” is a semi acoustic album of classic Anathema tracks, and includes one new song. They made this public (or at least I read it) at metalstorm.ee. Also, their new album, “Horizons”, is well underway. What surprised me was that they…
Apocalyptica: ‘I Don’t Care’ Video Posted Online
The Finnish quartet has delighted us once again with another great video: “I Don’t Care”. This time, they worked with Three Days Grace frontman Adam Gontier, which also appears in the clip. The video can be watched here. But if you think this is the only thing they’ve been up to, you’re really wrong. They enlisted the help of Fuel frontman Toryn Green to handle the lead vocals for their North American tour, which began…

NIN, Nirvana, Elvis and much more memorabilia up for charity auction
Music Rising, is a world renowned charity organization, co-founded by the U2 lead guitarist The Edge, that seeks to bring back life and a spark of hope into people’s life, by reviving the local musical culture in the Central Gulf region of the U.S. in the wake of several disastrous hurricanes. Basically what they do is hold free concerts and give away loads of instruments to unfortunate artists. This of course costs money and with…
Led Zeppelin – 4 Summer tour dates ?
I wouldn’t dare to guess what will really happen to Led Zep; ever since their O2 gig (actually, even before that), there have been all sort of rumors and “certainties” surrounding the band. At first, a tour seemed almost certain, and it was set for September. Then the word was out that Led Zep will not tour. After all these things, now it seems there will be some shows. Yeah, as it turns out, they’ll…
Red Hot Chilli Peppers are “disbanded”
Whoa there just for a minute; they didn’t break up or anything, they just decided to take a well deserved break, of at least a year. With the situation being as it is, Anthony Kiedis has taken on a new role as festival curator for Pittsburgh’s New American Music Festival August 8 – 9. Besides that, he took the time to talk to rolling stone, and he definitely has some interesting things to say: “We’re…
Xiu Xiu with new late summer trek
Right on the heels of their recently completed European spring tour and newly released album, the San Jose quartet Xiu Xiu are gearing up for yet another tour, this time in North America for some mid-summer performances. The tour will start up in mid August in the sunny California, after which the band will be traveling through out the country, playing venue after venue, before finally returning to California, San Fransisco, some time in September. …
New Bon Iver video: ‘Skinny Love’ (Live on “Later… With Jools Holland”)
After we presented Bon Iver’s latest music video for the beautifully haunting The Wolves (Act I and II), Justin Vernon is back with another video to delight both our eyes and ears, this time, however, with a live performance on “Later… with Jools Holland.” Here, Justin played a wonderful performance of his “Skinny Love,” from Bon Iver’s 2007 debut album For Emma, Forever Ago. Check it out bellow.
New Tapes ‘n Tapes video: ‘Hang Them All’
Tapes ‘n Tapes’ sophomore album, Walk It Off, didn’t impress me too much, not as much as their debut album anyway, but their main, featured single “Hang Them All” makes up for half of the uninteresting tracks. More on why I love this song on a previous post of mine, when I put the MP3 up for download. Bellow you can watch the video for the single, which is ever better then the song, being…
