Apparently, SOAD will be co-headlining next year’s Rock am Ring and Rock im Ring. Supposedly. Same goes for the Download Festival next year. Official reports have yet to prove a full-blown reunion tour (or, for that matter, even the RaR/RiR and Download gigs), but the rumors are expected to be either confirmed or denied this coming Monday (Nov. 29). Along with the one “for-sure” performance, it has been reported that they will play in France…
Fresh after releasing a most impressive new album with his Grinderman project and whilst still in full tour, Nick Cave seems relentless and inexhaustible after recently stating that he’ll be releasing a new album with the Bad Seeds next year, the band’s fifteenth and the first after the 2008 “Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!”, #3 on our end of the year list. Fans shouldn’t be too eager as to the remark however, since Cave needs to write…
As reported last week, Sam Bean and his alt-folk band Iron & Wine will be releasing a new album in early 2011. Captioned above is the official art work for Kiss Each Other Clean, a captivating illustration of what seems to be Beam (beard and outfit kinda gives him away) surrounded by water in a colorful line and shape world. The 10-track follow-up to the amazing Shepard’s Dog will be out on January 25th via…
Robyn’s three stage Body Talk album is almost up for proper release in its entirety seeing how the third EP, Body Talk pt. 3, will be out in less than two weeks from now. As an exquisite treat from our favorite Swede synthpop artist, Robyn posted three tracks (it’s the post’s magic number alright) off the upcoming EP on YouTube, which can be streamed below. You can read more about Robyn and the EP over…
Does anyone still read the Village Voice? Well, they decided to publish a Top Ten of the best rap songs about Four Loko. ‘Cause, apparently, there are ten songs about it. Who knew? I’ve been sitting here going through the list – it has embeds for every song on the list, as well as short blurbs arguing for a given song’s spot on the list – and I can’t decide which part of this is…
Holy shit. Swift’s latest offering, Speak Now, has done what only two albums in the last five years have done and only a dozen previously in history have achieved: gone platinum in one week’s time. She just beat out Tha Carter III with 1.047M for best first-week since 50 Cent’s The Massacre moved 1.141M back in 2005. Considering the era in which Speak is being released, it’s an impressive number – to say nothing, of…
Hot on the heels of their previous critically acclaimed 2009 The Hazards of Love, the Portland five piece folk outfit is prepping for the release of a new album, recently titled The King is Dead. The upcoming 10 track LP is set to roll out at the beginning of 2011, and will allegedly feature R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck on three songs. Colin Meloy, the band’s frontman, actually stated that the R.E.M. feel will be present…
As a result of relentlessness attacks by the dying music industry against P2P services, one of the biggest players in the sharing scene LimeWire has been forced to shut down its service for a minimum of 6 months as a result of a court order. The order was definitely settles this Tuesday when U.S. District Judge Kimba Wood in Manhattan entered a permanent injunction, ordering the service to disable the searching, downloading, uploading or file…
This summer I managed to get ahold of some footage and samples of the alleged new Tron Legacy soundtrack by futuristic house DJs Daft Punk. I was sorry to find out a few days later that they were actually fakes. Today, it seems like we’ve been finally granted to hear the real deal once with the release of this latest Tron trailer, which besides revealing some incredibly awesome scenes from the upcoming 3D blockbuster, also…
THIS IS NASTY!
