While on tour, playing in Auburn, WA, Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood moved close to each other and started playing a “Faust Arp” duet, like they always do shows, however… this time Thom forget the lyrics. Anyway, after a series of jokes and ramblings around the matter, to escape this somewhat embarrassing moment, the band went on and played a beautiful cover of Neil Young’s “Tell Me Why.” Check out the video bellow as…
There’s always something about Nordic indie music that makes it special, it’s really like nothing else. The band there have a unique approach to how they play their music, successfully blending electronic elements with rock amalgams. A perfect example is the Swedish power trio Peter Bjorn and John, a pragmatic band that’s managed to make a name for themselves in the international indie scene thanks to their wild, reinvigorating live shows and typical Stockholm sound….
Believe it or not, this is Jack Osbourne. Quite the makeover...
Bjork had some moderate differnces with the press this past weekend, when she reacted to an item in the The Reykjavík Grapevine crediting Valgeir Sigurðsson with writing the arrangements on her 2001 album Vespertine, although this was not the case at all.

Joining them, however, on the new record is none other…
We had a few weeks of kinda modest releases in the past, but the situation seems to have come back to its normal summer season self, as September’s dawn is about to begin, and with it a bundle of awesome new material. Now, the biggest thing this week is probably the new Verve album. I mean, definitely! The band hasn’t released anything in over 10 years, and, as you might guess, the anticipation has been…
Noel Gallagher, the Oasis lead guitarist, semi-frontman and overall douche-bag, paid Zane Lowe a visit the other day, at the latter’s BBC Radio 1 show which he moderates. There, Noel talked about Jay-Z’s response to the Glastonbury scandel, as he listened to the Oasis dis song Jockin’ Jay-Z for the first time,’ stupid informed journalists who ask him about his latest album being leaked and also rudely jokingly encourages people to rip off other’s people…
Boys and girls, Vampire Weekend is back! No, chill, not with a new album, but a new MP3, in which the NY quartet masterfully cover Fleetwood Mac’s “Everywhere.” The song was recorded on a Australian Radio show and let me say they’ve done a terrific job, especially on the vocals department, where Ezra Koenig virtually made the cover stand out. The MP3 is bellow thanks to Pretty Much Amazing via P4K. [display_podcast]
