Brian Wilson can be considered nothing less then an icon of contemporary music. He’s an awesome front-man, a very talented songwriter and let’s not forget he can drink you under the table and knows how to surf! Yup, a true legend, and we couldn’t have possibly not mention his upcoming solo album, “That Lucky Old Sun,” scheduled for a September 2nd release. Fan can listen to the whole album over at USA Today, where a…
Photo by LtRandazzo A flickr user posted this yesterday, after attending a Nine Inch Nails show, most probably in Saint Louis’ Scottrade Center, on August 20th. The pic perfectly surprises the much feared blue screen of death, that’s been haunting computer geeks around the world! CTR+ALT+DEL :( Anyway, the Windows 98 error screen was obviously faked by NIN, as fun thing. After all, Trent is notoriously known as a huge “Apple fan,” and righteously so…

Metallica, trying to be badasss
Ok, this is pretty breaking news. Apparently Apple’s iTunes has been blocked by “the great firewall of China” (awesome name btw), as a reaction to a pro-tibetan album that’s been getting really popular there. To be more exact The Art of Peace Foundation’s Songs for Tibet compilation, featuring tracks by Alanis Morissette, Sting, Moby and 17 more artists. The album was released as a download on the iTunes Store on August 5 – three days…
We’ve been hearing a lot from Daniel Rossen this past year, with new music, TV & radio appearances with his main band Grizzly Bear, and now with his side project Department of Eagles, a folktronica duo, that he founded with his friend Fred Nicolaus. You can blame Grizzly Bear’s erratic performances all over the country and countless other musical collaboration for keeping Daniel away from DoE, but now he and Fred are back on the…
We’ve had a real indie soap-opera this weekend, with the whole Deerhunter/Atlas Sound records leakage. The whole event was categorized like a big ol’ publicity stunt by the media, fans and even labels, but Bradford (Atlas Sound) gives indications that that’s certainly not the case. Furthermore he posted a really lengthy apology down at his blog, where he explained the whole thing, said sorry to all the people that felt in any way offended by…
I don’t know what’s with bands these days releasing albums straight out of the blue, just around the time they have a boner. Maybe it’s a trend or something, frankly I don’t really care, and to be honest I like a good surprise now and then. A new Bloc Party album certainly makes a good one. The band just announced earlier today the release date and name of their new LP, that’s been in the…
Kings of Leon are really a great band live. They have that particular energy in their live sets, that adds a further dimension to the studio tracks, and make up a total different experience. It’s often said that good, genuine live performances are the mark of a excellent band, and I agree. Problem is, southerners Followill quartet are really pissed off on bootleggers who record their shows. Apparently, the band would really like to play…
I wouldn’t go as far as saying the new Oasis album will be of biblical proportions, but I definitely believe it’s gonna rock and prove to be a hell of comeback, after two, let’s say, disappointing albums. After the strikingly good Falling Down (sorry, crew, but you’ve put out some crap lately), the band’s now released “The Shock of the Lightning,” a song even better then the previous, reminiscing the golden age of “Definitely Maybe,”…
