Vampire Weekend already got plenty of attention for “Diane Young,” the frantic first single from their truly great new album Modern Vampires Of The City, when they burned a couple of Saabs in the lyric video. But now, they’ve released a proper video (though that really depends on your definition of ‘proper’). It starts out with an anarchic dinner party and filling it with indie-universe celebrities in cameo appearances. The big party includes Santigold, Sky…
The British electronic band have spoiled us with another video – something pretty rare, considering how the artists usually use in-between-albums time to work on separate projects. But this really nice song just goes to show that they’re operating on peak levels.
I’ve been really excited for this Stone Roses comeback, and apparently, they have been too – that’s why they took the dust of some old songs and played some songs which remained unheard for over 20 years. The band took to the stage at La Cigalle in Paris last night (June 3) as a warm-up for their two huge London gigs this weekend (June 7/8). Featured on their setlist were also ‘Elephant Stone’, ‘Going Down’…
It may not be your cup of tea, but it’s definitely something – The Rolling Stones were joined by Taylor Swift at the band’s gig at the United Center in Chicago last night. They performed ‘As Tears Go By’, a song which has a really interesting story – it was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards for Jagger’s then girlfriend, Marianne Faithfull. She went on to sing the song and actually made a top…
In the words of guitarist Stone Gossard, the new album is “almost done” – so we really should be expecting something from them. However, things are a little shady, because the release was announced on All Access, but then was deleted, but one thing’s for sure: Pearl Jam’s definitely cooking something. If it does show up in July, then it will be the band’s first release since the 2011 “Ole”. According to recent statements from…
To say that I’m excited about the new Black Sabbath would be an understatement – it’s their first album in thirty five years! 35 years! I wasn’t even born 35 years ago, not even close to it. But after listening to this… man, they still got it. Here’s their first released single: “The End of the Beginning” “13” was described by Ozzy as “satanic blues”, and one can easily understand why. He also added that the…
Who here has heard ‘Lulu’? Ok, now out of you, who thought it was crap? Lots of people, apparently. Lulu was probably the most controversial album Metallica wrote (to put it lightly) – working with Lou Reed and doing this kind of music just… it didn’t sound bad but… it didn’t sound that good either. Speaking to the Detroit Free Press, bassist Rob Trujillo has conceded (via Metal Hammer) that it wasn’t exactly what fans…
As drummer Chad Smith declared, the band will start recording their new album in just a few months – in September. “We’re probably looking at getting together in September and getting on a roll and starting to write songs for the next record,” Smith tells Billboard (via NME). “We always have little ideas percolating in jams and rehearsal warm-ups and soundchecks and gigs.” Asked about the writing process, he added: “Sometimes we bust into stuff…
I just love Lana Del Rey! She’s extremely talented, funny, and absolutely gorgeous! She’s just something else – and that was revealed once again, at her gig in Dublin. The 26-year-old singer was performing one of the plenora of hits, when one of her fans surprised her by throwing a pair of female pants to the stage – an honor apparently not reserved only to male singers. She took the situation quite well, giggling away…
In between Thom Yorke and RHCP bassist Flea, Atoms for Peace is one of the hottest bands, definitely one we want to know more about. Yesterday, Nigel Godrich tweeted and linked to this video of Atoms for Peace performing as a full band a while ago. Currently trying to remember how to do this….>>>>youtube.com/watch?v=7YHyOb… — nigel godrich (@nigelgod) 26 mai 2013 It’s pretty much high time they started doing it again, because they’re about…
