I just stumbled across this incredibly magical video a few minutes ago over the web and I just can’t stop watching it over and over and over again! Ok, I’ve left you a bit in the mist, and I apologize for it. To be more explicit, I’m talking abut the music video for “Thurso” by Glasgow indie band Over The Wall. The song itself, although very soothing and melodic, is far from being anything mind…
This is extremely funny as hell… in the first second, that is. After that it’s just ahhhhh, another lol cat, I mean lol dog or whatever. Considering the above captioned canine levitating through a living room will be the cover art for Weezer’s upcoming seventh album, titled “Raditude,” makes the down spiral slump the band’s been on for the last few album even more embarrassing. This album should better deliver something valuable and quick before…
Hate it or love it, the new Muse album, with its new bigger than life sound, is out this week, much to my personal delight. A lot of good, and bad things alike, have been said about “The Resistance,” but the truth lies somewhere in between I guess. It’s just a matter of taste and … well, respect. It’s the band’s decision to evolve to higher grounds, even if they’re just trying. I, for one,…
Happy 7th bday to Chromewaves.net! The A.V. Club gives Jay Z’s The Blueprint 3 a B+. More than decent by my accounts. Public Enemy Ltd. will be reforming for a 5 gig stint in the UK this December. Lady Gaga’s Poker Face tops UK’s all time download charts. This is weird: apparently, David Bowie got a species of spiders named after him. 46 essential books in rock ‘n’ roll history by the LA Times. Are…
My latest find of the week is the Swedish duo Hearts of Black Science, who managed to impress me thanks to their ice cool electro sound which has kept me on their myspace, streaming songs, for hours now. From what I can tell, their previous material had a bit of a dark vibe in their ambient synth pop, but the band’s latest work, the single “Gold and Dust,” seems a lot more upbeat and, dare…
Here’s something special to kick off the day, if you’re into fencing that is. Either way, you’ll most likely love Grizzly Bear’s recently released video for their smashing single “While You Wait For The Others” directed by Sean Peknold. Abstract imagery, packed with wacky animations and after effects make quite the fun view as well, as opposed to the more mellow and somewhat creepy video for Two Weeks. Enjoy! Off Grizzly Bear’s most recent album…
Depending on when you catch up with ZMEMusic on your local internet browser, Good Morning, Good Afternoon, and/or Good Evening. My name is Tyler, and I’m the newest addition to the fold here in the contributors’ nest. Our man Tibi has given me the go-ahead to spill some thoughts about music both new and old, so I’m not going to make him regret it. I’ll be contributing (hopefully) weekly columns, including this one that I’m…
Once again, Slate.com reminds us of just how bizarrely back-asswards their writers’ arguments can be. This time, Slate writer Jonah (ugh, of course his name is Jonah) Weiner has published a piece in which he (attempts to) systematically lay out the case for Pearl Jam having sold out. First, the article claims that PJ is “proudly out of step” and has always been for the following reasons: 1.) They stopped making music videos in the…
We all understand we’re living in though times with the recession being in full swing and all, but boy is this video low budget. No, I mean really low budget, even for a indie label. I can understand that the producers were going for a spontaneous, fan made-like take on the song, but the end result is really dreadful. It’s just about a bunch of people, let’s call them friends, gathered around the beach, having…
