Album name: All I Ever Wanted Artist name: Kelly Clarkson Genre: Pop Rock Released: March 10, 2009 Label: Sony BMG ZME Rating: 8/10 Website: kellyclarkson.com Well to sum it up pretty well, I’d have to say that this album, just as her previous releases, is made of pop rock that doesn’t suck; quite the contrary. Kelly Clarkson manages to put her lovable self into her songs and face it, that’s why we listen to her….
50 cent echoes Eminem with 2 albums
A while ago, we told you about how Eminem will release 2 albums, and guess what. Now, 50 Puppy Dogg cent is doing the same thing, only according to him, it’s not the same thing. Whatever, idiots and 10 year old aside, I’m sure we can all draw the conclusions here. His first album ‘Before I Self Destruct’ was due for December, but it seems it will be released in June, and it will be…
Eminem will release not 1, but two albums this year
The rapper came out and said that he will release more than 1 (and less than 3 for that matter) album this year, making a comeback to “Relapse”. It’s been quite a while since his latest album, but I’m not in the mood for counting years. So according to him, his comeback record ‘Relapse’ will be a double header and the first LP is set for May 17. The second, which will beentitled ‘Relapse 2’,…
Michael Jackson announces comeback; web site gets 16.000 hits per second
After he announced a streak of comeback shows it seems the whole world has gone into a huge frenzy to get tickets; and they’re not even on pre-sale yet (they’ll be on March 11). I can only imagine how it will be on Wednesday morning. Or, can I?? I mean c’mon, massive massive traffic was expected of course, but this just seems to much. I mean 16.000 hits per second, just do the math, that’s…
Slipknot Chris Fehn: ‘I Think We’re Going To Overtake Metallica’
Let’s face it, rock it’s not living its best years yet; what’s more, it seems fewer and fewer bands with legendary potential are appearing with every year that passes, and if such a band appears, the odds are it splits right after they make it big. The biggest concerts are still held by the likes of Metallica and Maiden, everybody went mad over the AC/DC tickets, and face it, Led Zeppelin is was on everybody’s…
John Frusciante: ‘The Empyrean’
Artist name: John Frusciante Album name: The Empyrean Label: Domino Records Gender: Experimental Rock/Psychedelic Rock Release date: January 20, 2009 ZMErating: 9.5/10 Website: JohnFrusciante.com If you’ve listened to any of his solo work, you know that it’s got little to do with what he’s doing with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Still, this is by far the most different style he’s ever gone for, and it suits him like a charm. It’s a mix between…
Unsigned band, Boxer Rebellion outsells Kings of Leon, Coldplay, etc
It’s really amazing to see one of this bands, that without any backing up and without “star flatulations” come out and basically beat the shit out of almost every other band out there, digitally speaking. The unsigned band recently released their debut album, ‘Union’, is currently at number four on the iTunes chart in the UK and even better, they top the US iTunes Alternative countdown. Pretty good for guys that pay for everything they…
Stream U2’s latest single, “Get On Your Boots”
It seems U2 are finally getting their act together and making music, not war. We kinda guessed this was the next step since releasing their album cover, so we kept an eye out and guess what: now, they’ve released their single too. “Get On Your Boots” is the first single from U2’s latest album, “No Line On The Horizon”, which is also available for preorder through iTunes, at only 0.99$. Also, it has to be…
6 great grunge bands you would have never found out about [w/ bonus]
Anybody here remember the good ol’ grunge days ?? Grunge was about …well it wasn’t about anything, really, but it changed our lives and despite the fact that it didn’t last for a whole lot of time some songs will be remembered forever, in the golden frame of eternity, and the influence of grunge is ever so present in our times. We all know Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and of course, Nirvana; these guys were everywhere….
Wednesday smilejerker: Canon by Pachelbel
Well we haven’t did a smilejerker in quite a while, shame, shame, 3 times shame. If funny things ran out, I’d have an excuse, but they didn’t. I suck I don’t suck!! Anyway… We’ve all heard about the dude that plays guitar over Pachelbel’s Canon (no pun intended). Here’s the original version of the classic tune: And this is how it sounds covered (he didn’t transcribe it, a great guy named Jerry C did that)…
