When i get to talk about [tag]Queens of the Stone Age[/tag], It’s just so easy to write and to lay my words on ‘paper’, I mean there’s no secret I love this band to the death (not really, it’s just a figure of speech), their music has influenced my musical taste in a unimaginable degree, I could even go to such lengths and say I’ve discovered Rock’n’Roll alongside them. Few bands can light up a…
A week ago we had a sneak peek on [tag]Eagles[/tag]’ first single in 14 years, How Long, now it’s time for the video. Let’s say that old age might have caught up a bit with the mighty birds of pray, as frankly they don’t look very ecstatic in the video, and off it for that matter, for ‘huge’ comeback from 15 years of new release hiatus, i would expect a little more spirit. Anyway, you…
Widow City, the sixth studio effort from behalf of brother-sister act [tag]The Fiery Furnaces[/tag], is slowly, but steadily approaching. I’ve got to tell you, the anticipation is driving me nuts, every time I find a leaked song I’m all ecstatic and stuff, it’s got to be the most awaited album of the year for me. What I love most about this new album is that it’s so much different from what I’ve listened so far,…
When he’s not snorting lines of cocaine, [tag]Pete Doherty[/tag], makes, or at least tries, to make music, good one even. His band, [tag]Babyshambles[/tag], is set to release their second album called “Shotter’s Nation”, on October 23 in the US, via ASTRALWERKS Records. It will be interesting to see if Pete’s band can at least match the success of their debut album; alas many people don’t credit them with much chances and regard this upcoming effort…
Uff! Just when i thought I’ve seen a lot of weird videos in my life, here’s [tag]Animal Collective[/tag] to correct me once more, with their latest video “Peacebone”, the first single of their upcoming 9/11 Strawberry Jam. The video features a very “lovely”, if you could say so, couple of err… freaks, aliens or whatever, engaging in day to day girlfriend/boyfriend activities: picnics near the countryside, a little go through the Merry-Go-Round and of course…
After the explicit Moneymaker video, it’s time for [tag]Rilo Kiley[/tag]’s next single, Silver Lining, to get a video. This time the indie quartet turned to Autumn de Wilde, a very talented photographer turned video director, with whom singer Jenny Lewis has worked before on her solo album photo cover. The video’s plot is a wedding ceremony, in which Jenny’s is the bride and Blake Sennett, lead guitarist, the groom. In the begging of the video…
Mark Knopfler, renowned guitarist, singer and songwriter, most known as the frontman for the English rock band [tag]Dire Straits[/tag], is set to release his fifth solo album Kill To Get Crimson on September 18, via Warner Bros. Records. Recorded in Mark’s own, purpose-built studio, British Grove in West London, Kill To Get Crimson contains selected traditional instrumentation as well as the more usual guitar, bass, drums and keyboards. Featured players include accordionist Ian Lowthian, with…
[tag]Bob Dylan[/tag] and [tag]Elvis Costello[/tag] are set to tour together in an 13 dates long string of gigs, all around the US. The tour featuring the two iconic figures will kick off in Duluth, Georgia on September 22, before coming to a epic halt in Rochester, NYC on October 9. Presale tickets can be bought Bob Dylan’s website. Dates after the jump.
Yesterday, 20 August, [tag]Beck[/tag] released his latest single “Time Bomb” via iTunes at 0.99$, you can buy it from other download and retail stores starting 28 August. The old man’s still got it, and hits us with a classic Beck single, with electro vibes, annoying piano line, and a ga-ga-ga chorus. At first listen its quite annoying, but it’s grown on me now, quite fun actually, with doom’s day lyrics about ticking bombs, red alerts…
There was really a lot of hype around [tag]Foo Fighters[/tag] latest single “The Pretender” , when we released the mp3 out for download. Nearly 2000 people downloaded the song, now 2 weeks and half of our bandwidth later the video for this great song has surfaced. First I’d like to express my appreciation for the director of the video, Sam Brown (James Blunt, Fray etc) who through his excellent directing and editing skills has succeeded…
