Christmas is a commin’, folks. Flashing lights, people gathering around singing carols, pompeous chrismas trees, bla, bla. You can feel all of that Chrismass cheer floating in the air … and in your whallets, of course. Capitalistic remarks aren’t my thing, though – music is. Just recently the madly ecstatic Danish duo, The Raveonettes, just released a new Christmas special EP, called “Wishing You A Rave Christmas.” Quite an interesting choive of words, if I…
Yes, I know this has been all over the Internet this past summer, but I’ve just found out about it a few minutes ago and thought it would be awesome to post it. I’m talking about Radiohead (half of it actually – Thom and Johnny) and their cover of Portishead’s “The Rip,” off this year’s awesome comeback album, “Third”. The song’s acoustic nature and the video’s casual setting (try to ignore the MAC) makes the…
Whoaaa aren’t we loving this!! After the Velvet Revolver soap opera, after going back to lifetime love STP, Scott Weiland decided it’s time to move on in his musical carreer. Again. After releasing his second album, he spoke to USA today about that. According to him, writing songs that would become hits is the least of his priorities at the moment. “There’s a beauty in being part of a band, when there’s equality and trust….
In case you’ve been living on some other distant planet, you know that in every shop you go there’s at least one record in the ‘must have’ section that involved Ritchie Blackmore. Whether it’s from Deep Purple, Rainbow, Blackmore’s night or any other project he’s been involved in, you know it’s a work of art. Still, you have to admit, the man’s taste for music has changed considerably along the years. Starting with hard rock…
Little Joy’s latest self titled debut made quite the buzz in the indie rock scene, upon it’s recent release, gaining quite a lot of positive buzz. Maybe that’s, also, partly because it’s Fabrizio Morreti’s side project, and the swarms that make up The Strokes fan base floked to listen to it. An awesome, feel good album, nonetheless. The lead single, “No One’s Better Sake,” makes up for a great party starter – too bad summer’s…
Artist name: Coldplay Album name: Prospekt’s March Label: Parlophone Genre: Alternative Rock Release date: November 21, 2008 ZMErating: 3/10 Website: www.coldplay.com Like it or not, you have to admit that Coldplay made one of the best records this year with their Viva La Vida or Death and all his Friends. That’s understandable why they want to ride on its success and squeeze all the juices till the fruit is fresh. Prospekt’s March is the EP…
“In Ear Park”, the latest album from the brilliant duo of Department of Eagles, consisting of Grizzly Bear’s Daniel Rossen and old college pal Fred Nicolaus, just got released a few weeks ago and I’m already feeling that it’s some of the best new music I’ve listened in months. Now DoE is ready to set out on a promotional tour across a few dates in Europe and then, right after the new year, in the…
I just stumbled upon a really, really sweet remix of Vampire Weekend’s “The Kids Don’t Stand A Chance,” by one of my favorite DJ duo, Chromeo. I just really love how the two managed to transform the track into a up-beat, ’80s-like disco anthem. Something to light up your day. [display_podcast]
The Boss is ready to put out another solid release, as his 16th studio album, “Working on a Dream,” is set to get out at the beginning of the new year. I really enjoyed Bruce’s last year album, Magic, and thought it made quite an awesome winter record, because it had that Christmas cheer on so many of the tracks. It had a lot of hope and passion, like most of Bruce Springsteen’s records to…
Awesome news, everybody! No Doubt is finally re-grouping after a very long absence and is set to embark on a new tour, probably, right after their new album is out – as reported by nodoubt.com. Last year we reported that the band was working hard in the studio on a new album, but because Gwen was busy with her solo tour, progress has been slow. The band last played together in 2004 and since then…
