Ok, this is officially Oasis’ week. Everywhere I go, every blog, every podcast, mentions somewhere Oasis or the Gallagher brothers. Some part of me feels they deserve the hype, because this latest album is rock solid, a true comeback. However, the other part of me feels like this getting a bit overpretencious. Anyway, I laughed my ass off when I saw this heading on NME. Basically, in the article Liam Gallagher, one of the band’s…
He's not suffering from any head injury in this particular pic. He's just wasted.
Last year’s Strawberry Jam was definitely yummy! Quite scrumcious, if I may do so say myself. Actually, last year was an awesome one for the AC band members, since they toured a lot, released a very well received album, while Panda Bear also released a solo record of his own, the critically acclaimed Person Pitch. Let’s not forget about the new EP, Water Curses, Animal Collective rolled out back in May ’08. Now, these crazy…
Fuck. It’s official, Limp Bizkit are reforming! Back in 2006, the band members went their separate ways after releasing the crappy not so well received comeback album, “The Unquestionable Truth.” Anyway, apparently the band is back together, as Durst confirmed at Limp Bizkit’s myspace. “Yes, it has been a while. But a while worth the wait. It is getting very close to time to drop the Bizkit on the universe. I say this with the…
With their last record being released almost a decade ago, Rage Against The Machine have definitely left a generation of fans begging for more. Their music has stewed a lot of controversy, changed lives, possibly over throned regimes (?!), and most of all rocked the hell out of any arena. Last year, the band reformed under its original lineup and performed some massive gigs cross country, proving they’ve still got it in them. Now, fans…
Following the latest Metallica concerned scandal revolving around Death Magnetic doubtful quality, the band’s drummer and all round official blabbermouth, Lars Ulrich, decided to respond. For those of you unaware, a lot of people over on the Interwebs issued a list of complaints about Metallica’s recent album, including stuff like low bass, distortions, louder recordings and most importantly the significant quality differences between the Guitar Hero version and the studio version. I’ll leave you with…
I don’t know if Noel Gallagher’s recent bump to the head affected his judgment or anything, but just recently he announced he’d like to release a solo album soon. His first one, as far as my humble knowledge is concerned (and Google’s of course). Furthermore, the Oasis singer/songwriter said he’d like all four members of the band to releasing their own stuff, as soon as their latest effort, “Dig Out Your Soul,” gets out and,…
Sometime last year I was pretty pissed off that two world shattering bands like Metallica or The Stooges didn’t make the cut for 2008’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees list. That was a bit non-cool. Anyway, it seems my lamentations were well heard and both bands, as well as Run-D.M.C., War, Wanda Jackson, Bobby Womack, Little Anthony and the Imperials, Chic, and Jeff Beck were added to the nominee list for 2009’s Half…
Word has it Wilco are getting their groove on and will hit the studio next month to start recording a follow-up to last year’s excellent “Sky BLue Sky.” According to Billboard, the band hopes to get the new album ready for a spring release via Nonesuch. In a recent intereview, frontman Jeff Tweedy said this time around the band will take their time and will try to put out something really well produced and “allow…
The latest scandal in the rock scene erupted a few days ago, after it was shamefully discovered that the latest Metallica record, Death Magnetic, released just this Friday, sounds a lot, lot better on Guitar Hero 3, then on the actual CD. That’s what mastering engineer Ian Shepherd discovered when, on a tip from a Metallica forum, he compared the compression rates between the CD and the GH versions. What’s even sadder is that the…
