Yes, track number 3 from the proposed 44-song, 11-EP “album” Teargarden by Kaleidyscope has been released. This one, called “A Stitch in Time,” is about as left-field as the title suggests. There’s sitar over acoustic indie-pop flair, as well as swirls of guitar here and there that float around the simple ditty. Think the lighter side of Mellon Collie if Billy had pulled a Beatles trip to India. This is easily the best of the…
Yes, the forthcoming Gorillaz record, Plastic Beach, can be streamed in its entirety here. Go listen to it now. It’s that awesome.
Thom Yorke’s solo project was seen with great enthusiasm by critics and fans alike when the all-star supergroup, composed of Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, R.E.M. drummer Joey Waronker, talented Brazilian multi-instrumentalist Mauro Refosco, and the one and only Flea, played two LA gigs at the end of last year. The band played the entirety of Thom Yorke’s solo debut album, The Eraser, as well as some new songs and Radiohead B-side “Paperbag Writer”. Today, it…
I knew this was gonna suck even before the nominations were announced. I knew it because I knew that they wouldn’t bother to have albums of quality – ya know, Merriweather Post Pavilion or Us or Wilco (the Album) or Cuban Linx II. No, they decide that the following are the supposed best of last year: TAYLOR SWIFT, FEARLESS Black Eyed Peas, The E.N.D. Beyoncé, I Am…Sasha Fierce Lady GaGa, The Fame Dave Matthews Band,…
We’re living in an increasingly tiresome world where our attention and patience is constantly being put to the test. Buy 50$ Converse snickers because that’s what’s hip, read NME because that’s where all the good music is, love this band because Pitchfork gave it a 8.4/10 review. Brands, advertising, media, sex etc. – it all can take its toll and make us lose focus on what’s really important in life. Luckily, we can all find…
Tom Meighan, for those of you who may not know, is the explicit and unreserved frontman of UK alternative/ indie rock outfit Kasabian – a band that, for those of us who know well, like to say a thing or two about the state of our society. Meighan’s latest diatribe has come in the form of an attack on the most powerful outspoken voice of the modern world – the internet. According to the singer,…
This post is part of our “Top Albums of The Decade” series. Follow the series to read about the best music to grace our ears in the 2000s. Sufjan Stevens – Illinois (Asthmatic Kitty) At the beginning of the decade, one of the nation’s most talented songwriters Sufjan Stevens endeavored in a project as ambitious as it was preposterous, called The Fifty States project. Sufjan intended to share his vision on American life and culture…
You know Phoebe from way back when she started performing and touring with Nouvelle Vague. No long introduction is needed for this artist, as I’m sure you all know about her totally original and impressive performances of Human Fly, Bela Lugosi’s Dead, Escape Myself etc., about her absolutely brilliant performance with Melanie Pain of Too Drunk To Fuck, where they dance and scream (in the most pleasant way) and give out Whisky to the audience…
There was an entire soap opera revolving around the Stone Temple Pilots a few years back. They reformed, only to split up again a few months and a number of muddy statements later. Evidently, I become terribly surprise at the end of last year when I received a press release in which Scott Weiland announced the band was not only back together, but also planning a new record and huge tour to boost. I didn’t…
Last month I tried to decrypt the meaning of the whole iamamiwhoami viral campaign that’s been circulating all over youtube since the beginning of the year. With not luck, of course, because you either have to be suffering from OCD of the highest level or you need to have way too much time on your hand. Judging from my desk and low posting rates on ZME, I don’t seem to cross with any of the…
