The already humongous lineup for this year’s Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival has been updated with the addition of a few more artists, such as Chromeo, Cat Power, Zappa Plays Zappa, The Disco Biscuits and MSTRKRFT. As usual, the festival will take place between June 12-15 in Manchester, TN. Tickets can be pro-bought from here.
American Gangster was one of the few rap albums, of the last year, that really managed to pack a punch on the scene and actually deliver. The Neptunes produced “I Know” was from the start my favorite track from the album and now that it, recently, was joined by a video, I can only rejoice. The video, directed by Philip Andelman, was made in the same dark and mysterious vibe as the song, but also…
Avril Lavigne has a simple description for her upcoming live production: “It rocks,” Lavigne said during a recent teleconference. “It’s very much me, but just the next level. And it’s exciting because the reason why I wanted to bring in more [dancers] and I got a new band and added more players to it is because I wanted more energy on stage.” No comment here. I can take this. This could be a good thing…
Ahh the mighty sasquatch. Such a noble, but at the same time fierce beast, who’s myth has intrigued, rather entranced, so many people, is once again making a stop at Gorge, Washington. Before you start calling me a cuckoo or something, I’m talking about the Sasquatch! Music Festival that is. The three long festival will be held between May 24-26 2008, with tickets on sale starting March 8th. The peaceful green sasquatch has also revealed…
Well mates, concerning this record I’ve heard pretty much anything that could be imagined, and even more. It seems to be just an illusion, closing in on you and making promises only to dissapear again in the shadow of Axl’s dark robe. His children, led by Buckethead, seem ready to continue the music, but the dark man himself is not ready. Will it be good? Will it be bad? Those answers don’t make sense anymore….
Were pretty fun. Wasn’t able to watch the event live, because of the whole time frame and stuff, it was something like 4 AM here when the Oscars aired. But I somehow managed to refrain myself from finding out the winners, as I find the element of surprise to create suspense and I love suspense; anyway I watched a rerun of the Academy Awards, a few hours ago. My general impression was somewhat favorable, maybe…
This is just one of those things that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Not because of the act itself, but rather because the man who made the sale is Paul Mawhinney, a 68-year-old man who is legally blind after having suffered a couple of strokes. The Pennsylvania man says he can finally retire because someone has bought his massive collection of vinyl albums, singles and CDs on EBay for the price he…
For those complaining about the lack of decent east side festivals, the Jersey located All Points West Festival, will undoubtedly quench the thirst for good live music. The Jersey fest is at its first edition and It’s already managed to gather some big names, as its headliners, including Radiohead and Jack Johnson (the man is everywhere). Radiohead are set to play two consecutive nights (Friday, Saturday), marking “the first time that a cutting-edge band will…
Jack Johnson has a very interesting story, after being a pro surfer who suffered from an accident, turned (during a butterfly sort of metamorphosis) into a great singer, which has the rare ability to put pure feeling into words and sounds. He is already a legendary songwriter, and the critics are fascinated by his work and unique signature sound. I’ve admired him since his first release, and he truly is a pleasantly unexpected appearance in…
I found X-Men to be among the only present day movie series, that did somewhat justice to the iconic Marvel comics their based upon. I really enjoyed the whole X-Men trilogy, because of it’s dazzling special effects, so-so story line and of course the spectacular mutants, each with its special ability. My clear favorite? Wolverine, hands down; so recent news of a new X-Men movie, a prequel to the events in the original series, that…
