With their last record being released almost a decade ago, Rage Against The Machine have definitely left a generation of fans begging for more. Their music has stewed a lot of controversy, changed lives, possibly over throned regimes (?!), and most of all rocked the hell out of any arena. Last year, the band reformed under its original lineup and performed some massive gigs cross country, proving they’ve still got it in them. Now, fans…
Following the latest Metallica concerned scandal revolving around Death Magnetic doubtful quality, the band’s drummer and all round official blabbermouth, Lars Ulrich, decided to respond. For those of you unaware, a lot of people over on the Interwebs issued a list of complaints about Metallica’s recent album, including stuff like low bass, distortions, louder recordings and most importantly the significant quality differences between the Guitar Hero version and the studio version. I’ll leave you with…
There’s been a lot of hype lately around the latest Bond theme, performed by the flaming duo Alicia Keys and Jack White, typically named Another Way to Die. Only righteous hype, though, because this song is just smoking hot! The movie doesn’t come any lower either. The video just surfaced a few moments ago. From the few plays I gave the video, it doesn’t seem that badass. I mean, it just features the two playing…
When Viva la Vida came out back in June, I was wrongful to hastefully criticize the album without putting enough consideration into it. Thing is, I really didn’t want to put that much thought into the band’s music at the time, since I’ve never been a fan. I don’t know what happened next, but I decided to give the album a chance and gave it 6-7 consecutive runs one day, and it totally got stuck…
Yup, summer’s gone and autumn’s in bloom, but that doesn’t mean good records have to disappear once with the sunshine. First up are your favorite Glaswegians, Travis, one of this week’s highlights with their sixth full length studio album, “Ode to J. Smith.” After that we stroll abit from from britpop to more experimental/psychedelic fields with the new Mercury Rev record, “Strange Attractor.” Be careful with this one, though, because I’ve heard people say this…
If any of you were curious to know who made the most money off your backs last year, find out that its none other then your parents’ favorite band, The Police. Yup, like Sting didn’t have enough dope already, it seems the made a whooping 150 million dollars last year, since they reunited and toured the world. Runer-ups include Beyonce, Justin Timberlake or Madonna. There’s no question about it, most of you are probably wondering…
The above …err… caption, is the new covert art for Bloc Party’s third LP, “Intimacy.” However, this new version is for the record’s physical release of October 28th, as the old cover was for the already out digital release. Compare the two, and then let me know which of them seems more prettier. The old serif font on a dull background or two passion lovers engaging in fluid exchange (you can even see the saliva!…

The latest comedy flick that’s been sweeping the box office is a teen romantic epic, called Nick and Noah’s Infinite Playlist. The movie just came out, so neither of us had the chance to see it, but anything involving Michael Cera is sure to rock. Here’s the trailer. Anyway, speaking of infinite playlists, you should check out the soundtrack behind the movie, because it goes beyond epic. Devendra Banhart, Bishop Allen, Band of Horses, We…
