Brent Hinds doing yogo and burritos. True metal!
Paste Magazine’s “Producer of the Decade” is at it again; but, what exactly is he up to this time? Danger Mouse, the stage name for versatile producer Brian Burton, has aided in bringing us many of our last decade’s favorite albums, from Gnarles Barkley’s St. Elsewhere and The Odd Couple to the Black Keys’ Attack & Release and Brothers. He has also collaborated with countless other musicians in his producing career… So, what is it about Rome…

If it’s not the instrumental track “Gorilla”, by hip-hop beat juggler Clams Casino, a regular heart-stomping anthem, that’ll get you going through the day, then the video below edited by independent director Jamie Harley will most certainly do so. If the marvelous Cirque du Soleil-like art performance won’t make it up for you, I don’t know what will. Clams Casino : “Gorilla” from Jamie Harley on Vimeo. I’d love it someone is able to recognize…
Yesterday night, the NYC garage revivalists dropped by Conan, a mutual regular acquittance as the show’s host confessed himself, where they played “Games” off their recently released new album. The performance itself was flawless as far it faithfully followed the studio version, however I found it to be a tad plain and murky. Well, it was boring. How do you guys feel about it? Also, what’s with Julian’s outfit? Like a boss! The Strokes latest…
In preparation for the band’s upcoming, yet untitled, forth studio release the Arctic Monkeys recently unveiled online the first single off of it, called “Brick by Brick”, which now has a music video penned to it as well. The sunny waves, lazy afternoons and palm trees do well to hint to the fact that recordings took place in LA, at Hollywood’s Sunset Sound Studios by longtime collaborator James Ford. Further details regarding the follow-up to…
This Saturday the NYC garage re-revivalists returned to SNL as part of their third live appearance on the show, where they played two tracks promoting the new upcoming album, “Angles”. The band first kicked off their two song performance with the record’s lead single “Under Cover of Darkness”, a mediocre performance for an otherwise equally mediocre song, before continuing with a The Police cover of “Life is Simple in the Moonlight”, where they actually took…
I think I’ve probably stumbled upon YouTube’s greatest gem yet, where today the entire hour and a half splendid Arcade Fire concert from last year’s Madison Square Garden performance (8/5/2010) was released. The full length re-broadcast is part of the UNSTAGED series and was directed by legendary film director Terry Gillam. I recommend you make yourself comfortable, joined by someone dear to you, and watch this right away. Yes, it’s very good!
Last year, a unique musical opera based on Charles Darwin and his book “On The Origin Of Species” was performed, and subsequently released, by The Knife, Mt. Sims and Planningtorock, which from my understanding has been highly praised well beyond the Scandinavian scene. I haven’t sample the opera and before today I’ve been totally ignorant of Planningtorock, Janine Rostron musical alter-ego, a highly atmospheric and eery outfit – in a word a faithful, still genuine,…
Good news for Foo fans! As exploremusic.com reports, it seems the first single off the band’s yet untitled new album is called “Rope” and will be delivered to radio stations at 7am ET on February 23rd. You can listen to the song below in a low quality YouTube video recording the Foos performing the song during a recent secret LA showcase. It indeed doesn’t seem to do the original recording justice, filled of distortions at…
