I for one am impressed of Mr. Adams’ recent long run blogging stint for The Awl where he just made his debut at as a columnist. It’s hard not to laugh out loud while reading his piece, as Danzing gets slipped through video game consoles, space invaders and intolerable amounts of late pizza. Speaking of video games, who knew Adams was such a dork? I mean, the man really knows his video game history, and,…
Right in time for John’s upcoming fall European tour, the talented singer/songwriter will putting out two new 7″ releases Too Much Time” b/w “Moon Rocks,” out 10/6, soon followed by “D.I.A.L.O.” b/w “Do What You Want.” While most Vanderslice fans will recognize the A-sides as two featured songs off his recently released full length “Romanian Names,” it’s worth noting that the B-sides are completely new and unreleased tracks. Very curious to hear those. [via MBV…
Oh yes it’s ladies night And the feeling’s right Oh yes it’s ladies night Oh what a night – Kool & The Gang Rock n’ roll is a wonderful, chaotic beast. Borne of a decadent tryst between blues and boogie, it’s grown from its simple, Chuck Berry beginnings into a many-tendriled monster, sprouting new bands and sub-genres from every possible pustular orifice. And while a lot of the descendent bands have grown up to be…
The supergroup is still amidst European festivals, much to the frustrations of North Americans, playing new song after new song, teasing the world with their awesome rock, until some day a proper tour and album release date will be finally announced. Their latest stint was at the Lowlands Festival where they played two incredible new songs, the grungy “Caligulove” and the heavy riffage jam “New Fang” (JPJ’s influence on this one can be smelled from…
The band’s latest EP, titled “Loosing Feeling,” has been available for free stream down at the Sub Pop website for some time now. All you need to do is submit a working e-mail address and you’re set. Today, the fine people at No Age’s label have also released the last track off the EP out for download – the guitar blazing rocker “You’re A Target.” Walls and walls of sound will hit your out of…
Islands’ third full length “Vapours” is just a few weeks away from its scheduled release date, and subsequently we’ve been treated with a little appetiser in the form of this free MP3 of the title track. The song, albeit very short, perfectly conveys much of the band’s moody, laid back vibe. Aren’t the horns in the background just delightful? [MP3] Islands – ‘Vapours’ Vapours will be out September 22 via ANTI- Records. [via YANP!]
Last week Radiohead revealed a new, non-LP, non-EP track called “These Twisted Words.” “We’ve been recording for a while, and this was one of the first we finished. We’re pretty proud of it. There’s other stuff in various states of completion, but this is one we’ve been practicing, and which we’ll probably play at this summer’s concerts. Hope you like it,” said Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead. We really like it, Jonny, but no one expected…
A few months ago, I expressed my enthusiasm (CHECK OUT THE TRAILER! CAPS FAIL) regarding the upcoming fantasy flick “Where The Wild Things Are,” a film adaptation of Maurice Sandak’s popular children book. Today, we get out first taste of the furry, fantastic, mind blowing and, of course, wild adventures that lie ahead once with the release of the first song of the soundtrack – “All Is Love.” The song was written and played by…
If the last few weeks have been a bit stale when new, worthwhile music was concerned, consider this late August period as a small sign that things are finally beginning to shape up as we’re being treated to numerous valuable releases. I’ve been following the Sheffield quartet’s career since their debut from a few year back, so, personally, my favorite release of the week out of the whole bunch is naturally “Humbug”. I looked forward…
ZME interviewed Astronauts of Antiquity. Bob Dylan got somewhat arrested by police authorities after strolling through someone’s back yard. Freaky! Get some interesting insights on Woodstock by The Daily Swarm, like set lists, declined invitations and the likes. Guitar God Les Paul passed away last week at the venerable age of 94. Rest in peace, maestro! Megadeth is streaming a brand new song. ZME interviewed We’ll Make It Right. The Decider interviews Kim Deal. Michael…
