Their initial reunion shock hype has died off a bit, so it’s a good thing the band’s taking it a step at a time, with new updates each week. Feels like a soap opera already. This week [tag]My Bloody Valentine[/tag]’s manager has announced the band intends to pull a Radiohead-wise stunt and release, their much awaited followup to the classic 1991 “Loveless,” as a digital download. Don’t expect a freebie though, according to manager Vinita…
Vegas’ favorite quartet, [tag]The Killers[/tag], are back with a holiday special single, suggestively titled “Don’t Shoot Me Santa,” the second of this sort after last year’s A Great Big Sled.

The video cycles through scenes of the band, all dressed in…

A few weeks ago Vegas native [tag]The Killers[/tag] revealed their latest single, in the form of Joy Division cover, titled “Shadowplay.” Since then their efforts have been dismissed as very poor, not nearly enough delivering to the expectations that came with such a ambitious cover.

[tag]Nine Inch Nails[/tag] fans, around the world, were exited about the release of the 1337 R3M1X album of Year Zero, titled Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D, however those whom actually like to contribute with material and remixes of the band’s tracks were terribly disappointed when the album’s accompanying website, remixes.nin.com, wasn’t launched. Apparently Doug Morris and Universal Records doesn’t want the website released, designed as a hub for submission and discussion of fan remixes, as they don’t want be…
Sometime earlier this morning, the zoological quartet of [tag]Animal Collective[/tag], stopped by BBC Radio 1’s Rob Da Bank show and were gracious enough to play a few songs live for the show.
