So that’s how you pronounce “Veckatimest”! Thanks, Dave. Grizzly Bear paid a visit to Letterman’s Late Show last week (how the heck did I miss this?!), where they played an incredible performance of “Ready, Able” with a string quartet. The end result was simply stunning – clean, sharp and full of passion. No One Does It Like Grizzly Bear, I guess :). Definitely glad they didn’t choose to play the usual Two Weeks. Which reminds…
Being both a huge Josh Homme and Arctic Monkeys fan, it’s impossible for me not to love this neo-psychedelia bomb. Adventurous and murky, “Crying Lightning” is a brilliant move forward by the monkeys. Oh, yes, this is gonna be a terribly interesting album – the third in the Arctic Monkeys catalog. Not too interesting of a video for Crying Lightning , though. Just the band, with increasing hair issues (somebody should tell Alex Turner the…
We’ve got something different in stored for you guys today as we release a new ZME feature – “The Week in Music.” Every Friday we’ll be highlighting interesting events in the music scene from across the web, as well as from our own posts, since you can never know when something REALLY important passes you by. Don’t be alarmed by the “#29,” it’s not the 29th post in the feature, it’s just the 29th week…
I’m getting more and more surprised by the stupidity shown by the contemporary record industry as each day passes, and Scottish electronica artist Calvin Harris is the latest to feel it’s fowl stench. Seems like Calvin tried to upload a video on YouTube of ”Ready For The Weekend – Original Mix,’ a song he 100% produced – his sole creation, you know, the works! – only to find it removed by the British Phonographic Industry…
I know this is as old as the internet, but I just came across it again, while I was into a Tool listening sessions on YouTube, after not seeing it for a very long time. The power, the passion and feeling with which this talented piano player, Adam Monroe, managed to turn Lateralus into a whole new song is simply incredible and definitely worth sharing with anyone, be it you’re seeing it for the first…
The black bodysuit man has now become a motive in its right word for of Montreal, since he’s been making cameos in almost all of their shows. Actually the man in the suit is Kevin Barnes’ brother, David, who from time to time likes to alternate the suit with a satyr-like wardrobe. Seems like David isn’t limiting himself to shows either, as he’s the featured star in of Montreal’s latest video for “Mingusings,”one of my…
I think “Popular Songs,” Hobokon’s Yo La Tengo twelfth album, is probably on everybody’s wish list by now, and if the September 8th release date sounds a bit too distant, here’s a tasty appetizer to quencher your thirst for good music. Bellow you can stream and download Yo La Tengo’s latest single “Here to Fall,” a very elaborate track, filled with string arrangements and acid groove. [MP3] Yo La Tengo – ‘Here to Fall’ Also,…
Before listening Muse’s latest single, “United States of Eurasia,” I was totally psyched about hearing their new and upcoming album “The Resistance.” Yes, I’m terribly disappointed with Muse on this one, and it’s pretty plainly easy to see why, since the song fails to deliver on so many fronts. Simply put, it sounds like a bad Queen cover. A surprisingly unoriginal and unimaginative track, especially coming from a band like Muse that tailors itself as…
A while ago we announced that everybody’s favorite Oklahomians, The Flaming Lips, will soon release an incredibly huge, both in size and awesomeness, double LP set. The 2xLP titled “Embryonic” will be the band’s eleventh full length studio release, the first in three years, after the band’s previous highly well received “At War with the Mystics,” and allegedly it will be the band’s most sonically adventurous material to date. Considering The Flaming Lips have some…
I had loads of fun watching the new and intense Dead Weather video for “Treat Me Like Your Mother” released just last week, even though the track is kinda my least favorite off Horehound. Today, we’ve got something maybe even better – a Diplo remix of “Treat Me Like Your Mother.” I’ve always loved Diplo’s work. He has this uncanny talent of being able to reinvent songs, through his clever sample and beats arrangements -…
