New Eagles of Death Metal album art for ‘Heart On’

Although he’s been under some heavy critique lately, especially after that little Norwegian Wood incident, Josh Homme is still a more then capable artist, and last year’s Era Vulgaris more then proves that. However, QOTSA isn’t the only thing keeping him busy, as his garage side project with Jesse Hughes, Eagles of Death Metal, is prepping to release a new album in October. Those familiar with the band know the band shines with devilish eccentricity,…

Download: Rye Rye & M.I.A – ‘Tic Toc’

If M.I.A. plans on quitting music for real, then she’s got a strange way of doing it, considering she’s been really active, musically speaking, lately. Just a few days ago, she got featured on Esau Mwamwaya + Radioclit’s latest leak, Rain Dance, and now she’s released yet another song, this time in collaboration with Baltimore’s Rye Rye, on “Tic Toc.”  The song’s really smashing, with some really, really heavy beats and interesting samples. Next Paper…

Jack White scores Coke Zero ad song for Quantum Solace

It’s no secret I’m a huge fan of the upcoming  Quantum Solace flick, who’s soundtrack is under more then capable hands with Jack White and Alicia Keys onboard. Now, it seems Jack and Coca-Cola have team up for the new Coke Zero commercial, that has Bond theme and vibe to it. The song in the background was obviously made by Jack White with Bond-like themed riffs and heavy beats. Oh, and guess what the predominant…

Download: Justice – ‘Planisphere’

Back in July the French electro duo, Justice, were comissioned by Dior Homme to make a mix for their Spring/Summer 2009 runway show. Of course, faboulous results didn’t fail to arrive, and the whole fashion show buggied to Justice beats. Now, some good months since the incident, Justice has released the whole 15 minute mix, titled “Planisphere” and distributed into four parts, as a free download at their MySpace page. What’s interesting is how the…

New Bon Iver video – ‘Flume’ (live on Conan O’Brien)

Bon Iver took Conan O’Bien’s Late Night show by storm, last night, after Justin Vernon and the rest of the gang made their US nation-wide television debut with a stelar performance of “Flume,” as part of their 08 tour in support of the debut album. A well deserved shout out to Conan for the impecable pronounciation (obviously, I didn’t know it right, till now.). Also, if you’re looking for more Bon Iver goodness check out…

Download: Kinds of Leon – ‘Closer’

With only a week or so until the new Kings of Leon album, “Only by the Night”, lands on September 22, things have really begun to shapen up. We’ve already released two songs off the new album, including the first single Sex on Fire, but this time we have for you what I find to be the best song off The Night, in the form of the record opener, “Closer.” The song is really slow…

New Bloc Party video: ‘Talons’

Man, Bloc Party’s taking the whole surprise, out of the blue effect a bit too serious, to the point of exaggeration even. After releasing their latest LP, “Intimacy,” on a very short notice a few weeks ago, the band has now premiered a new single, “Talons,” that off Intimacy, but the thing is it wasn’t present on the digital release, as Kele were saving it to add an even greater effect to the spontaneous album….
