Tibi PuiuThere was an entire soap opera revolving around the Stone Temple Pilots a few years back. They reformed, only to split up again a few months and a number of muddy statements later. Evidently, I become terribly surprise at the end of last year when I received a press release in which Scott Weiland announced the band was not only back together, but also planning a new record and huge tour to boost. I didn’t…
15.6.6.9.3.9.14.1.18.21.13.56155 – another iamamiwhoami
Last month I tried to decrypt the meaning of the whole iamamiwhoami viral campaign that’s been circulating all over youtube since the beginning of the year. With not luck, of course, because you either have to be suffering from OCD of the highest level or you need to have way too much time on your hand. Judging from my desk and low posting rates on ZME, I don’t seem to cross with any of the…

Wayne Coyne’s home is one hell of a lair
Heck, the man wants a dragon on his roof! If you ever wondered what kind of home the eccentric Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne lives in, now’s your chance to take a glimpse. Basically, the man’s house is a faithful rendition of his wacky/psychedelia persona, and I’m sure no one could have imagine it otherwise.

Music turns to life with Uniform Motion
Since I’ve received the press for their sophomore album “Life”, I became simply punch drunk in love with Uniform Motion’s eerie atmosphere. My talented co-editor Al Byrne put the band’s sound in words better than I ever could have a while back, when Uniform Motion was first featured on our website. “Anytime I receive a press release that labels a band “an extremely exciting arts collective [and] a perpetual multimedia art installation“, a tiny emergency…

Every year at the SXSW fest, out of the slew of bands flocking in from all over the country, you can be sure there will be one or two acts that will definitely stand out as somewhere up there in the bands to watch of the respective year. For 2009 the crowd, and critics *cough, clear favorite were the Silver Lake five-piece Local Natives who will finally release their debut record “Gorilla Manor” this week….

Wolfmother just recently premiered the video for their smashing heavy-funky groove single “White Feather”. Very simple and straight forward, the video basically features the band jamming crunchy riffs like there’s no tomorrow on a cross-fading dawning lighting. Heavy, heavy stuff!
