Since the super-group trio of Josh Homme/Dave Grohl/JP Johns was first announced a few months back, Them Crooked Vultures have become the number one act in the scene, with all eyes turning towards them, watching the band’s every move. Be it secret live shows, teasers and cryptic messages, The Vultures haven’t been too generous with details at all, but we’re pretty happy about what we’ve learned today. So, finally, Them Crooked Vultures debut self-titled will…
Rumored to be called “Google Music,” “Google Audio,” or “One Box, this latest search service targeted exclusively to the music niche, plans to revolutionize the way people find music. Apparently, upon searching for a particular artist or song will bring up a box, hence the “One Box” name, where users will be able to stream songs randomly chosen by the search engine, as well as particular tracks. The search giant won’t become a retailer though,…
I simply loved Yeasayer’s 2007 debut, “All Hour Cymbals”, an album that shines of an epic, out worldly atmosphere – a world where sludgy metal textures, gospel, a capella and liberal doses of electronic psych-rock mania reign undisturbed. As a result of their well received debut, the Brooklyn band was signed by Secretly Canadian for their upcoming sophomore effort, details of which were just recently finally announced. The new Yeasayer album is titled “Odd Blood”…
Forget what Chinese astrology might tell you, 2009 is the year of the Phoenix! After delivering what can only be described as almost pure pop perfection, in the form of their last record “Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix”, and becoming the most remixed band of the summer, it’s pretty clear the band is at the top of its game. We posted a few remixes before, really great ones too, but you’ll probably find the best ones on…

The Brooklyn dance punk duo have gone a long way since their first major label debut, “Oracular Spectacular”, got out back in 2007, propulsating them to instant stardom. It’s been hectic – it can be pretty clear for anyone to notice, fact noted by the band numerous times before too. Let’s just hope that MGMT’s upcoming new album, just recently dubbed “Congratulations”, isn’t going to be affected by the incredibly massive hype their break through…
Julian Casablancas’ first single, “11th Dimension”, off his upcoming debut solo album, has been more or less unanimously voted the hottest track of the past month, based on the outrageous amount of reactions on blogs, twitter, facebook and all the other social networks that you can think of. With “Phrazes For The Young” being slated for official release only two weeks from now, we’ve been treated to yet another track from the album, the cascading…
As previously reported, The Flaming Lips’ follow-up to their recently released full length “Embryonic” will be a cover album of Pink Floyd’s classic Dark Side of the Moon, most probably adapted to the band’s eclectic experimentalism. This Friday, The Flaming Lips hit the KCRW studios where they played Pink Floyd’s 1973 classic closer “Eclipse”, as part of their session for the station’s Morning Becomes Eclectic show. You can check out the faithful rendition of Eclipse…
Just only a few weeks after Sufjan Stevens released “Run Rabbit Run,” a re-worked string instrument based version of his 2001 electronic album “Enjoy Your Rabbit,” the talented singer/songwriter is at it again this week with yet another release, in the form of “The BQE” – a mixed-medium artistic exploration of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. The record contains the soundtrack to the live show Stevens put together back in 2007 as part of the project, accompanied…
