Yesterday brought some sad news, folks. Our favorite post punkers, the Nashville quartet Be Your Own Pet just announced through a press release on their MySpace blog, that the band will officially disband soon. “To all of our fans, we are sad to bring you the news that our upcoming shows in the UK are going to be our last as a band. We thank you for all your love and support these past few…
I was really impressed and ecstatic about the new Radiohead video, for In Rainbows slow jam “House Of Cards,” when I first talk about it last week. Now, finally, the video has surfaced on the web (well actually it’s been on for a few good days now, but I’ve been away and stuff like that) and let me tell you it doesn’t fail any of my grandeous expectations I had for it. It’s simply stunning….
I wasn’t quite fond of [tag]Bloc Party[/tag]’s recent, sophomore release A Weekend In The City, not to say it was bad or anything, but I just believe the more experimental direction the band is heading to, isn’t to my liking. It seems like the third album, scheduled sometime at the end of this year (nothing has been announced, but you can expect it to be sometime later this year), will follow in its footsteps in…
What does [tag]Rage Against The Machine[/tag] guitarist Tommy Morello and Presidential candidate Barrack Obama have in common? Well according to Tommy the similarities between them are quite striking… “Well, you know, being the half-Kenyan Harvard graduate from Illinois in his early forties, not running for president this year’s election gives me a unique perspective,” Morello tells Rolling Stone’s Austin Scaggs. “I’ve always felt more comfortable on the other side of the barbed wire fence, you…
Who here doesn’t love sample mashups? I know I find them yummy and Girl Talk is one of the people who’s brought it to a state of art. Feed the Animals, his latest and fourth album is another record comprised exclusively out of samples from other people’s music, with a few dashes of original GT instrumentation here and there. “Still Here” may just be my favorite song, off the June 19th released album, but what…
At last month’s Bonnaroo fest, the hip-hop/indie sensation [tag]M.I.A.[/tag] stormed the stage and delivered a dazzling performance to all the fans and occasional blokes in the audience alike. However, after such an awesome spectacle (and during it a few time, if you think about it) she said this was her last show and she’d quit music. I thought this was rubbish at first, seeing how she’s such a promising artist, however rumors that she’d quit…
The Brooklyn dwellers of [tag]The Hold Steady[/tag] have always appealed me through their classic/hard rock eclictic music, coupled with meaningful and dense lyrics. I’m not what you’d call a fan, but their latest album, “Stay Positive”, is brilliant and, so far, represents the pinnacle of their entire work; quite consistent work if I may add, with a new album every year. Few bands can really pride themselves with the achievement. For rootsie, old school American…
The LA quartet, Bodies of Water, have steadily grown into a memorable act of the indie scene in the last few years, especially around the Ca. zone. They first sparked a few waves with their self-titled EP from 2005, which got a lot of positive critical receptions from well known publications, which, subsequently, eventually helped them sign a deal with a label. Now, the band is prepping the release of their sophomore album “A Certain…
[tag]Radiohead[/tag] has a long history of forgetting conventions and experiencing new things. So there’s virtually little things that could surprise us coming from them. Or so we thought…. Apparently, it seems the video for their latest single, House of Cards, has been filmed projected in a whole different manner, with the help of two ultra-high end technologies Geometric Informatics and Velodyne Lidar. ‘ The Geometric Informatics scanning system employs structured light to capture detailed 3D…
It seems [tag]The Who[/tag] may embark on a tour, of unclear proportions, soon. Lead singer, Roger Daltrey, has expressed his intentions of permanently dissolving the band on multiple occasions and this seems like it will be the last tour the band will ever perform in. So, if you want to see one of the greatest and influential rock’n’roll band in history playing live, this might quite possibly be your last chance. So far only two…
