Photo by Matthew Field As previously reported the Californian super group [tag]Queens of the Stone Age[/tag] was set to play a gig in the cold deeps of a German salt mine. The concert took place, in front of a small and intimate crowd, on November 20, where the band played live 700 meters underground. The initial press release reported that the band was going to play a never before performed live track, but haven’t heart…
I believe it’s safe to say that [tag]Michael Jackson[/tag]’s Thriller is one of the best records ever made, an album that brought a dose of fresh funk and at a same time a dash of claustrophobia to the back then transitioning music scene. It was the album, with song for everyone and anytime, from rock to soul, thus Michael’s Thriller got to influence much of the ’80s and although he is now just a shadow…
It seems more and more bands are starting to release their material through unconventional and exclusive distribution methods. Only this year there’s been [tag]Paul McCartney[/tag] with his Starbucks Memory Almost Full, the famous [tag]Prince[/tag] Verizon mobile released single “Guitar,” [tag]Eagles[/tag] comeback album “Long Road To Eden” released exclusively in Walmart stores and a lot lot more.

There’s little things that could shock us right now, from behalf of goth dork [tag]Marilyn Manson[/tag], he’s bought some Nazi memorabilia and a child skeleton (buy a real one and I’ll be impressed!), done a semi-sextape with his barely legal girlfriend Rachel Wood and a lot more “disturbing” stuff.

Their initial reunion shock hype has died off a bit, so it’s a good thing the band’s taking it a step at a time, with new updates each week. Feels like a soap opera already. This week [tag]My Bloody Valentine[/tag]’s manager has announced the band intends to pull a Radiohead-wise stunt and release, their much awaited followup to the classic 1991 “Loveless,” as a digital download. Don’t expect a freebie though, according to manager Vinita…
Last week we were all syked, when [tag]Weezer[/tag] finally revealed some details regarding their sixth studio effort, announce a definite release date for April 22. Now, the band’s bassist Scott Shriner, broke a bit of tension by responding to a few albumsix related questions and announcing the record’s official name: “Tout Ensamble.” Which, from my limited knowledge, I believe is French for “all in all'” or something like that, if any one’s got a better…
