Steve LampirisSo it’s been a while since a Queens of the Stone Age record. More than a little while, actually: Their last effort came out in 2007. Well that’s all gonna change sometime in the near future, apparently. Frontman Josh Homme tweeted the above pic to not only announce that a new record is in the works, but that Dave (fucking) Grohl will be rejoining the band behind the drum kit. The decision to bring Grohl back came…
The new British invasion rocking American POP
Staff
Recently, America has seen an influx of British pop artists propping up the top ten spots of the charts. This musical invasion by the Brits now contributes to 1/8 of all album sales. Many explanations have been bounced around trying to speculate the reason for the sudden surge of interest in British bands, from the abundance of UK talent shows to the accessibility the Internet provides for musicians and groups. Whatever the cause, here is…

Andrei Mihai
The Evening Standard top 1000 tries to determine the most important and powerful figures from the world of politics, art, culture sport – I’m not really sure how relevant the top is, but it’s definitely not very far off. According to them, rapper Plan B sits in the top 20, just between James Bond actor Daniel Craig and comedy writer and director Armando Iannucci. Plan B, real name Ben Drew is the highest musician on…
Thom Yorke’s Atoms for Peace new album details revealed
In case you might not remember, Atoms for Peace is a supergroup which consists of Radiohead’s Thom York, Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers, longtime Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, Joey Waronker and Mauro Refosco. XL Records made a big bubu and published details about the album, something apparently they didn’t want to do. Thankfully, several fans took screenshots before they took it down, and sent it to us. Now, not only do we have a…
Robbie Williams’ “Candy” breaks record, but gets banned from BBC
Robbie Williams’ comeback single ‘Candy’ has become the fastest-selling single by a male artist this year after 137,000 copies were snapped up this week, but was banned from BBC Radio 1. I kinda like Robin Williams. Not really my kind of music, maybe not even my kind of guy, but he’s got talent flowing through his every pore, and he really likes to take it to the edge – and over it. This is the…
Paramore finish recording new album
The pop (sort of) punk band finished recording their fourth album, as frontwoman Hayley Williams announced on her twitter: Getting ready to walk out these studio doors for the last time. #album4 It’s already been three years since their past album, ‘Brand New Eyes’ in 2009, and for Hayley, this album is like “an answered prayer”. The band were working on the album in Los Angeles with producer Justin Meldal-Johnsen – who is most known…
Daniel Bedingfield gets naked in his new video: Secret Fear
Alexandra
Source Daniel Bedingfield relapses again by deciding to get naked for his new video, where he appears with a sexy, beautiful naked girl, playing the game of love, passion and fury. Looks like he has a thing for appearing naked – he did it the first time in his other video, Rocks Off, where a bunch of horny girls actually rip off all of his clothes. I really like the video’s…
New Green Day video and single from “Twilight” soundtrack
Source Green Day released a new video for the song “The Forgotten” – a video with scenes from Twilight: Breaking Dawn-Part 2. Somehow, I think that this event covers the fact they canceled all their scheduled live concerts for the following months, although the second part of their album trilogy: ‘¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, ¡Tré!, is due to come out on November 12th. Mike Dirnt, the bands bassist, talks about taking part of…
Listen to the new Crystal Castles song: Affection
Source. Crystal Castles The song “Affection” is the latest Crystal Castles’ third album, ‘III’ , which will be out on November 12th (see Crystal Castles reveal new album) – they postponed the release date actually with a few more days than they originally announced. In my opinion, this song is different from Plague (from the same album), which only makes me more curious about the other songs from this new album….
Amy Winenouse’s wedding dresses stolen by burglars
Source. The wedding dress Poor Amy Winehouse (I just can’t believe how many things happen in Amy’s “absence”), some burglars have broken into her former home, in Camden-North London, and stolen two dresses worth £130,000: one of them is her wedding dress, worn by her at her Miami marriage in 2006, and the other one she wore during a performance on Later… with Jools Holland later, same year. Since Amy is…
