Marketing, Play Station 2 and rock music. Yup, two words: Guitar Hero. Now, with so many artists releasing their music in premiere or even in total exclusivity via Guitar Hero or Rock Band (rewind a bit to the recent Metallica/Guitar Hero/Death Magnetic scandal), it’s really no surprise that one of the biggest money wolves in the industry, The Smashing Pumpkins (read Billy Corgan), will soon release a three track single via Guitar Hero, which also…
If you don’t yet own a copy of Kings of Leon’s latest album, prolly the week’s best album (tied with “Dear Science” from Tv on the Radio) “Only by the Night,’ then you can still listen to it via streaming on the web.

Back in February of this year, the Baltimore dream pop duo of Beach House released what is, currently, one of the most charming indie records of 2008, in the form of “Devotion.” Now, Beach House is back again with some interesting, new music, fresh from the studio and straight into ZME. “Used To Be” is the band’s latest single, which is joined a 4-track version of the debut’s “Apple Orchard” to form one awesome 7″,…

Fan can listen to the whole album over at USA Today, where a…
Glasgow’s favorite post-punk revivalists, Franz Ferdinand, have a new album in stored for us, with recordings well underway since 2007, with an expected released out of January 2009. A bit of a long wait, but I’m confident it will end up alright, after all you don’t rush greatness *cough. Anyway, Franz have released a new song recently, which they put out for streaming down at their website. The song, titled “Lucid Dreams,” is on the…
[tag]Beck[/tag] and his upcoming new album, “Modern Guilt,” is just a few weeks days away from its release date, and of course the teasers and leaks couldn’t stop either. This time, after Beck previously previewed the first single from the new album, the psychedelic “Chemtrails”, the ’60s revivalist artist, much to the delight of his dedicated fans, has just streamed another two tracks from Modern Guilt. First the electro-gaze infused, Beach Boys harmony packed “Orphans,”…
As most of you probably know this already, or not, the new Coldplay album, Viva la Vida and All His Friends, leaked out yesterday over every torrent.

Just head over to IHeartMusic and enjoy the ride; if you’re from outside the…
Things are more and more shaping up like Beck is gonna release his upcoming Danger Mouse produced album, “Modern Guilt,” in a Raconteresque, out of the blue manner, as the singer/songwriter recently unveiled his first single off the album (or is it the second?), the haunting, psychedelic-like “Chemtrails.” Our colleagues from Rolling Stone, after a short preview, said the album channels British rock of the 1960s and upon our first listen of Chemtrails we could…

It was clear from the very start, when we saws Goldfrapp’s video for its latest single A&E, that the duo have strayed a bit from the electro sound, that defined them in Black Cherry and Supernature. The same goes with the rest of Seventh Tree, Goldfrapp’s upcoming record, set for a release next week (February 26th). Some believe the record sounds a bit boring and too poppy. I disagree, I’m quite digging it actually; it’s…
