The self-titled second album from Bon Iver, aka Justin Vernon, is what some may consider to be one of the masterpieces of the 21st century, consisting of ten beautiful, emotional, and ingeniously thought out tracks. This album being his second and not having an actual title may be considered strange. Along with the album cover- a painted landscape with a log cabin surrounded by trees and water, this makes for a fairly mysterious first…
One of the coolest things about Apple’s iPhone is that you can customize it with fun yet protective covers and cases. These items can show off quite a lot about your personality, especially when you select those that are music related and depict a musical artist or band you love. Some of the most wicked iPhone music covers are those that boast and elaborate and funky design and feature great bands that are known for…
The Maccabees are proving to be a huge brit-indie rock band – and with their new album “Given To The Wild” – have definitely grown. I must admit I was quite oblivious to the fact they would be releasing a new album, but after hearing the news I was fairly mellow, not excited. I absolutely loved their first album “Colour It In” and found it hard to stop listening to it. Their follow up “Wall…
Gorillaz just recently released their new single, “DoYaThing” which is available for free download on Converse Music, and also threw in a music video to go with it. James and Andre 3000 are great in the track, and you’ll be delighted to see how they’ve been depicted for the video, along with the series of creepy, yet exciting scenes, like a toast and human ears breakfast, overly “aggressive” product placement and a 3-D 2-D. Great…
Let me tell you – this album is bizarre. REALLY bizarre. it’s a pop-opera based on a crazy novel about Atlantis from the late 1800s, with a style that mixes up hundreds of musical sub-genres in each song. Each individual element seems too far-fetched to enjoy, but when combined something wonderful and twisted is created. Speaking of the combined pieces, Pepe Deluxé describe themselves as “an inter-continental orchestra,” but the two “conductors” of this orchestra are…

The headline says it all, folks. Canadian indie/alternative twin-duo Tegan and Sara have officially come back from their year and a half off, and are expected to enter the studio in the middle of this month. Having not toured since a year before the release of their three-part short film series Get Along in November of 2011, this installation can be expected to deviate slightly from the latest Sainthood and even more (most likely) from…
Jack White, former frontman of the garage-rock duo The White Stripes and current member of The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather, has just unveiled the first single off his debut solo album Blunderbuss. The single, “Love Interruption,” is currently streaming at Third Man Records’ website, and will be released as a 7″ single February 7th. This leading single is a bluesy acoustic track, with a soft jazz organ and clarinet playing in the background. Jack…
Since her sudden death of July 23rd 2011, Amy Winehouse has been the focus of more tributes than can be counted. From Bruno Mars at the VMAs to Green Day at their secret show, quite a few high profile artists have thrown their musical hats into the ring of Amy tributes. Not to say all of these aren’t sincere, but the truth of the matter is that most of these artists had most likely never been…
