Christmas is a commin’, folks. Flashing lights, people gathering around singing carols, pompeous chrismas trees, bla, bla. You can feel all of that Chrismass cheer floating in the air … and in your whallets, of course. Capitalistic remarks aren’t my thing, though – music is. Just recently the madly ecstatic Danish duo, The Raveonettes, just released a new Christmas special EP, called “Wishing You A Rave Christmas.” Quite an interesting choive of words, if I…
Yes, I know this has been all over the Internet this past summer, but I’ve just found out about it a few minutes ago and thought it would be awesome to post it. I’m talking about Radiohead (half of it actually – Thom and Johnny) and their cover of Portishead’s “The Rip,” off this year’s awesome comeback album, “Third”. The song’s acoustic nature and the video’s casual setting (try to ignore the MAC) makes the…
Communism, comets, moving dead zombie meat, nostalgic old school animations and so on. You know, the usual Manchurian candidate stuff that Metallica have oh so often used it as a motif – like on their latest video for “All Nightmare Long.” Now if the song was on something like the Red Alert soundtrack, the video would’ve fit quite good, but, apparently, in the current setting, there’s nothing really to tie the video to the song….
Little Joy’s latest self titled debut made quite the buzz in the indie rock scene, upon it’s recent release, gaining quite a lot of positive buzz. Maybe that’s, also, partly because it’s Fabrizio Morreti’s side project, and the swarms that make up The Strokes fan base floked to listen to it. An awesome, feel good album, nonetheless. The lead single, “No One’s Better Sake,” makes up for a great party starter – too bad summer’s…
Hot Chip + Fake Blood = Awesomeness! Lately, I’ve really began to get into Fake Blood’s brilliant remixes, mostly because I love the way he takes other people’s music, mashes up, adds a bit of ‘fake blood’ and cinnamon and makes it his own. His latest remix is that of “Touch Too Much,” originally played by Hot Chip, off Made in The Dark. Check it out the mp3 bellow, as well as Fake Blood’s other…
This came up as really strange, when I first read about it in The Sun. Apparently Axl Rose is nowhere to be found for the last two months, fact that apparently aggravates the hell out of Guns ‘n’ Roses’ label, Geffen. It seems Geffen is really disappointed in Axl Rose, since the band just recently released its 15 years in the making album, “Chinese Democracy,” and the Guns haven’t done anything to promote it. No…
We’re all big fans of LOST, the TV series aired by ABC, and seeing how the show is nearing the premiere of its fifth season, enthusiasm is floating in the air. I like its intelligent and psychological nature, being made with an intricate plot, a heck load of twists (maybe too many) hand a lot of complex characters. It’s a bit too Sci Fi at times and the twists can be really frustrating, these being…
Anybody else feels the Grammys have grown increasingly irrelevant? I for one have had it up to here with the Grammys, every year we’re fed with the same old, predictable crap. Aren’t the VMAs enough for one year? Anyway, this year the Grammys nominees are surprisingly decent, with a lot of new and low buzz artists. Musicians like M.I.A, Rufus Wainwright, Hot Chip, Adele, alongside the likes of Coldplay, Radiohead, Metallica, Madonna or Daft Punk…
“In Ear Park”, the latest album from the brilliant duo of Department of Eagles, consisting of Grizzly Bear’s Daniel Rossen and old college pal Fred Nicolaus, just got released a few weeks ago and I’m already feeling that it’s some of the best new music I’ve listened in months. Now DoE is ready to set out on a promotional tour across a few dates in Europe and then, right after the new year, in the…
I just stumbled upon a really, really sweet remix of Vampire Weekend’s “The Kids Don’t Stand A Chance,” by one of my favorite DJ duo, Chromeo. I just really love how the two managed to transform the track into a up-beat, ’80s-like disco anthem. Something to light up your day. [display_podcast]
