The jovial Canadian eight piece band are set to release their fifth full length studio album “Together” in early May, and as a very sweet appetizer I’d like to invite all of you to sample their latest song “Your Hands (Together)”. It’s a typical Pornographers track – catchy hooks, pop friendly chorus and power chords. Not their best, by a long shot, but it’s still a very promoscing sign of things to come.[via Hero Hill]…
Tons of fireworks, dead unicorns, super heroes, Canadian Mounties etc. – you’re likely to find any of those at a Flaming Lips concert, where every town that guests it automatically becomes the international capitol of mind fuck for a whole night. This summer, Wayne Coyne will be leaving his extravagant lair to join the rest of the Flaming gang for a set of gigs around North America and Europe. Trust me, if you haven’t seen…
Models and music don’t usually make a good mix, but Jack White sure knows how to pick ’em, considering his wife, Karen Olsen, has some great set of legs pipes. Don’t believe me? Check out her first music video for the title track off her 12 songs debut album “The Ghost Who Walks”. Simple, yet strangely spooky, the video features Karen gently strumming her acoustic guitar unfolding a gentle ballad. The Ghost Who Walks was…
Thom Yorke’s solo project was seen with great enthusiasm by critics and fans alike when the all-star supergroup, composed of Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, R.E.M. drummer Joey Waronker, talented Brazilian multi-instrumentalist Mauro Refosco, and the one and only Flea, played two LA gigs at the end of last year. The band played the entirety of Thom Yorke’s solo debut album, The Eraser, as well as some new songs and Radiohead B-side “Paperbag Writer”. Today, it…
We’re living in an increasingly tiresome world where our attention and patience is constantly being put to the test. Buy 50$ Converse snickers because that’s what’s hip, read NME because that’s where all the good music is, love this band because Pitchfork gave it a 8.4/10 review. Brands, advertising, media, sex etc. – it all can take its toll and make us lose focus on what’s really important in life. Luckily, we can all find…
There 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…
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…
Them Crooked Vultures, hot off a mind-erasing Saturday Night Live performance, and the release of their debut album are teaming up with ZME Music to give one lucky fan a chance to score a sweet prize pack. One winner will be able to jam to Them Crooked Vultures on Rock Band 2 on their brand new XBOX 360! To enter the contest, all you have to do is register your details here and you’ll have…
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. Check out some of the photos bellow of Wayne’s house published by Fitzsimmons Architects, the people responsible for its renovation….
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…
