After his recent, tumultuous ride with Velvet Revolver ended (for him, of course), Scott Weiland’s future became highly uncertain. He then eventually, and a bit surprisingly to be honest, got his old band, Stone Templer Pilots, back together and toured extensively, with a new album in the making being on the horizon, too. But for a man who’s ego’s hardly overthrown, not even by his own shadow, going solo is the best solution. “Happy In…
This goes to show that Feist can also release more deep and artistic videos, as she just did with the Anthony Seck directed music video for “Honey Honey.” It’s far from sophisticated work art, but it’s damn well no iPod commercial. The melancholic, weary vibe of the song suits the video’s dreamy atmosphere perfectly, making time fly by in heart beat. To end this little post with a somewhat sad note, Feist just announced she’ll…
The Las Vegas native pop/rock quartet’s latest album, Day & Night, is fastly approaching its highly anticipated release date of November 25th. The video for the album’s first single, “Human”, just got out yesterday and can be viewed right bellow. I’ve already told my opinion about the song, in a previous installment, here, so I’m not gonna repeat myself with a review. As for the video itself, there’s not much to tell either. It basically…
Last year’s Oracular Spectacular was quite delicious, especially when on ‘shrooms, while MGMT’s video for Time to Pretend could either scare you to hell or strip and start dancing on the melody. The band’s new video for “The Youth” isn’t by far as trippy as Time to Pretend, but it’s very fun nonetheless. Directed Eric Wareheim, from Adult Swim’s “Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!,” the video for “The Youth” features a few kids,…
With the release of their new video, the American quartet managed to break no less than 5 Guinness world records. Troublemaker is the second single from the band’s latest release, The Red Album, which is already stirring up spirits. An official from the Guinness World Records was there during the filming to see that everything is going acording to plan and the records are actually broken. But don’t think about anything classic, as few would…
Earlier today, Kanye guested at the “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” where he didn’t miss the occasion to premier the video for his latest single “Love Lockdown.” Tribal motives, mixed together with Ikea furniture and suit dressed Kanye (No, Kanye, you don’t dress like white people). Love Lockdown is off Kanye’s upcoming new album, “808s and Heartbreak,” who’s release was announced today as being on November 25. Just in time to rip off the Christmas charts.
The Pretenders are back with a new album this week, in the form of “Break up the Concrete,” a fun, classic Pretenders record, that’s sure to delight any nostalgic punk (don’t give me any of that ‘punk’s not dead’ crap). Chrissie Hynde, which looks fantastic by the way (considering she’s in her late 50s!), and the rest of the gang stormed David Letterman’s Late Show with an awesome performance of “Boots of Chinese Plastic,” a…
I’m literally counting the days before the new EoDM album, Heart On, gets out, and this new video for the Jesse Hughes/Josh Homme extravaganza sure does hit the spot. Making it big in LA can be tough, often implying faustian pacts, but if you want a few moments of glamor, you might as well sell your soul to Jesse ‘The Devil’ Hughes. Btw, anyone notices any similarities between the video for the band’s latest single,…
The umbrella and raincoat have always been autumn motifs for arists across the years. The semantics of these two words can vary from artists to artist; they can signify protection, depression (rain can do that to ‘ya) or, in Leonard Cohan/Marissa Nadler’s case, nostalgia. “Famous Blue Raincoat” is the name of Marissa Nadler’s cover present on her latest disk “Songs III: Birds on The Water,” a song originally penned by master Leonard Cohen (click here…
There’s been a lot of hype lately around the latest Bond theme, performed by the flaming duo Alicia Keys and Jack White, typically named Another Way to Die. Only righteous hype, though, because this song is just smoking hot! The movie doesn’t come any lower either. The video just surfaced a few moments ago. From the few plays I gave the video, it doesn’t seem that badass. I mean, it just features the two playing…
