Other US cities to be graced by the Pigeons Eagles presence are Portland, Denver, New York or Washington before…

Download: Jenny Lewis – ‘Acid Tongue’

Rilo Kiley’s previous record “Under The Blacklight,” didn’t quite deliver, not at its exceptions anyway. Sure, it had it’s moments, but they were more then shadowed by some lameass tracks like Smoke Detector or Money Maker. Anyway, Jenny’s still dear to me, no matter what crap she puts out. She’s like a button too. Her solo debut, featuring The Watson Twins, was pretty good. No, scratch that, it was quite awesome, even though it sounded…

New Eagles of Death Metal video: ‘Wannabe in LA’

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,…

New Marissa Nadler video: ‘Famous Blue Raincoat’

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…

A new RATM album is getting more and more believable

With their last record being released almost a decade ago, Rage Against The Machine have definitely left a generation of fans begging for more. Their music has stewed a lot of controversy, changed lives, possibly over throned regimes (?!), and most of all rocked the hell out of any arena. Last year, the band reformed under its original lineup and performed some massive gigs cross country, proving they’ve still got it in them. Now, fans…

New Jack White & Alicia Key video: ‘Another Way to Die’

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…

New Coldplay video: ‘Lost!’

When Viva la Vida came out back in June, I was wrongful to hastefully criticize the album without putting enough consideration into it. Thing is, I really didn’t want to put that much thought into the band’s music at the time, since I’ve never been a fan. I don’t know what happened next, but I decided to give the album a chance and gave it 6-7 consecutive runs one day, and it totally got stuck…

Tv on the Radio: ‘Dear Science’

Artist name: Tv on the Radio Album name: Dead Science Label: 4AD/Interscope Gender: Art Rock/Experimental Rock Release date: September 23, 2008 ZMErating: 8/10 Website: www.tvontheradio.com You can easily hate this record from the first listen and I will not be the one to judge you. In comparison to ‘Return to Cookie Mountain’, the band’s previous effort, ‘Dear Science’ is more mainstream, more accessible and even more pop. But don’t hurry up labeling it. Just give…

Bloc Party get way too ‘Intimate’ on their new LP cover

The above …err… caption, is the new covert art for Bloc Party’s third LP, “Intimacy.” However, this new version is for the record’s physical release of October 28th, as the old cover was for the already out digital release. Compare the two, and then let me know which of them seems more prettier. The old serif font on a dull background or two passion lovers engaging in fluid exchange (you can even see the saliva!…
