The Cribs new single ‘Cheat On Me’ has been released three weeks early to ‘beat the leakers’. In a press release to fans, lead singer Ryan Jarman had this to say, “Hey kids, Instead of buying a McDonalds burger this Monday please buy our new single “Cheat On Me” from iTunes. We’re releasing it almost a month early on the 3rd of August to beat the leakers. If you care about the band then please…
I don’t know why this even surprises me, but I guess it’s worth point out what a shy, crying little girl Marilyn Manson is. He is, really, take a look at his latest blog post on myspace. I can, but do not need to defend myself And the absurd accusations that the average press has clinged onto. If we need a nude photo of me to prove that I am far different than the soon-to-be-murdered-in-their-home…
Nina Persson is simply lovely in her latest video for the nostalgic “Love Has Left The Room.” Director Maximilla Lukacs added a delightful touch of baroque-esque lighting and setting which makes the video look even more bohemian and reminiscent. What does Nina when Love Has Left The Room? She goes for long strolls on the beach, watches old sailors play chess, before realizing the best thing to do is wait for a new suitor to…
Today, I’ll be reviewing Severed Ways: The Norse Discovery of North America, a movie whose long and drawn-out title should say it all, but in case it doesn’t, I’ll explain a little: it is a movie that follows the struggle of two battle-weary Norse warriors to rejoin the rest of the exploring party following a massive battle against Native Americans. My first impression after reading the back of the packaging was one of anticipation. After…
This is maybe one of the best summer jams I’ve heard in ages! Seems like the influence of Noah Lennox (Panda Bear), and both the time Bradford Cox spent with Animal Collective on tour in Europe, played an enormous role on “Walkabout,” this brilliant collective effort. It’s a welcomed departure from Cox’s murky and at times all too personal previous material. Warm and filled with hope, it’s a song that will make the summer a…
Have I ever mentioned what’s my second favorite super group of the year? Coming before The Dead Weather, and beneath the Josh Homme/Dave Grohl/J.P Jones extravaganza (you can’t possibly compete with this. sorry) is the newly confirmed Monsters of Folk, comprised of Jim James (My Morning Jacket), M. Ward (solo/She & Him), Conor Oberst and Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes). Exactly what I thought too! The first single off the MoF’s upcoming self titled is “Say…

Album name: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen – The Album Artist name: Various Genre: Soundtrack Released: July 13 2009 Label: Reprise ZME Rating: N/A Website: transformersmovie.com/ I would love to give this CD a horrible review. I’d really, genuinely enjoy ripping apart its poxy devotion to dated post-grunge sludge rock. Or better yet, going on a bloodthirsty, rampaging rant about how the Transformers franchise as a whole has gone from being a treasured reminder of…
It’s been called one of the defining sounds of this era as well as a trend [that became] a gimmick. TIME Magazine acknowledged it as a rare gimmick that can lead to innovation. Rick Rubin has called its use lazy and argues that using it can remove the emotion from a performance. All this over a simple computer program? Yes, Auto-tune has both captivated audiences and caused tidal waves of hatred usually reserved for Twilight…
In honor of, what’s probably, The Pixies’ most loved album “Doolittle” 20th anniversary, the band will head out on a North America/Europe tour where selected tracks from the album, plus B sides, will be performed. The first to get a glimpse of the influential alt rockers will be the European peeps, pretty soon enough starting late September/October. North America soon follows after that. “We wanted to do something special for Doolittle’s 20th anniversary,” said Pixies…
