“It just dawned on me that this is our last show ever in the United States. Don’t be sad. I’ll keep going. But I think I’m going to lose my mind if I keep doing this, and I have to stop.” Don’t be sad my ass. How would you react, if the frontman of a band that basically has a cult following revolving around it announced the dissolving of over 20 years of musical genius?…
The album art for TMV’s upcoming album, Octahedron – out June 23. A few months ago I talked a bit about The Mars Volta’s latest up and coming record, titled “Octahedron,” and how glad I was to hear that we’ll be finally dealing with a more cohesive and unitary record, seeing how supposedly the whole band is now creatively involved. Well, time’s past and we’re now only one week away from Octahedron’s release date. Consequently,…
I’ve just finished watching Karim’s latest video for the chilling “Triangle Walks,” that just premiered over at stereogum, at the end of which is hard for anyone not visually impaired not to sit back for a few good seconds and gasp “WOW!” The video just hits you from the very few frames – beautifully dark-blue lights, ambiental chills and Karim Andersson’s elusive appearances make it a creepy, yet, at the same time, a surreal experience….
Awesome news for Flaming Lips fans and neo-psychedelia aficionados alike, as the Oklahomians are set to return with some new material this fall in the form of a double-LP (like x2!). That’s twice as much music, twice as much Wayne Coyne and twice as much fun! Don’t get too eager now, fellas, since although the album is titled, namely “Embryonic,” and quite a great deal of material has been recorded in Steven Drozd’s house, the…
When I first layed my eyes upon this official polici mug shot of what was once one of the most saught after producers in the world, it was pretty much impossible not to exclaim in my mind – “What a cunt!” Apparently, he was denied access to his vast collection of wigs during the mug shot photo shoot, revealing his Golum shaped cranium in all its splendor. Spector has just been recently been encarcerated to…
Did I happen to mention how much I love Twitter? I’m sure I have, nonetheless it never hurts reminding people how remarkable this social media giant is. Everybody’s using it. Now, it’s really easy for people to feel more connected, and a lot of boundaries between people have been eliminated, whether they were of physical or social nature. One of my favorite duos, surf rock outfit The Raveonettes have been sturdy supporters and compuslive users…
I’m really a big fan of Vincent Moon and his La Blogotheque sessions. The spontaniety of the show, how you can watch your favorite indie band playing in the street, even with ‘house hold’ instruments, all from the confort of your own home is amazing for me. However, I nearly can’t believe it how a big of fool I’ve been for missing out Delta Spirit’s Blogotheque session, where the San Diego soulful musicians just killed…
It’s curious how Devendra Banhart went around mixing Oasis, if you consider the later is a band that’s more into dance strings, while Banhart’s music is as weird and inaccessible per he is talented. Nevertheless, Banhart was given the opportunity to remix any Oasis track of his choosing from the 2008 LP “Dig Out Your Soul,” with a permit from the band itself, in the end preferring to give a go to the chilly, down…
We haven’t held a contest in a very, very long time, and yes, we know you’re probably feeling a bit neglected. That’s why, dear ZME reader, we’ve decided to organize this little competition for you – the first of many, as part of a regular series of contests we’ll be holding in the future. This particular give away if a of a broader significance, however. This month ZME Music turns two years old and it’s…
“Kids, don’t do drugs” might serve as a good motto for MGMT’s latest video for their incredible single “Kids.” The video’s story follows around a toddler (most likely on acid. lol) who seems to see monsters everywhere he walks around, even in people. Guess there’s a dormant monster within every of us, even in your postman! The mom was totally annoying though, compelling me to smack my notebook’s display multiple times out of disgust for…
