Finally, it’s over! After months and months of politically blabbering, when where ever you turned you’d hear only Obama vs McCain vs Palin vs Clinton vs bla bla, talks. I was beginning to have it up to here, you know. I can barely express how much I’m glad this whole elections mambo jambo is over. As expected, everybody’s homeboy, Barack Obama, won easily over his republican counterpart today, open a new era of “Change.” Or…
Artist name: Cardinals Album name: Cardinology Label: Lost Highway Records Gender: Alternative Rock, Country Release date: October 28, 2008 ZMErating: 9.5/10 Website: www.ryan-adams.com From my point of view, it’s a big shame that Ryan Adams has been in the spotlight due to his drug related problems and mental meltdowns and tantrums than for artistic reasons. But if he had a chance to release an album that would rise him above his current level, Cardinology would…
When one of my favorite DJs, Diplo, and one of my favorite contemporary rock bands, Radiohead, mix together, there can only be goodness getting out of the whole business. Diplo first posted a remix of Reckoner a while back, for the Radiohead Remix contest, now he just posted a final version of the remix down at the home of awesomeness, MadDecent. The end result is somewhat more satisfactory, but I’ll just leave you to the…
Earlier today, Kanye guested at the “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” where he didn’t miss the occasion to premier the video for his latest single “Love Lockdown.” Tribal motives, mixed together with Ikea furniture and suit dressed Kanye (No, Kanye, you don’t dress like white people). Love Lockdown is off Kanye’s upcoming new album, “808s and Heartbreak,” who’s release was announced today as being on November 25. Just in time to rip off the Christmas charts.

Back in July the French electro duo, Justice, were comissioned by Dior Homme to make a mix for their Spring/Summer 2009 runway show. Of course, faboulous results didn’t fail to arrive, and the whole fashion show buggied to Justice beats. Now, some good months since the incident, Justice has released the whole 15 minute mix, titled “Planisphere” and distributed into four parts, as a free download at their MySpace page. What’s interesting is how the…
B. B. King is not the artist that sold the most albums in the world, he’s not the artist that attracted the biggest crowd at a concert, but he’s an artist that can release more passion and feeling in a single note than most guitarists can give in a lifetime. Perhaps the most respected blues player of all time, B. B. King is believed to be the third-greatest guitarist of “the 100 greatest guitarists of…
Bjork had some moderate differnces with the press this past weekend, when she reacted to an item in the The Reykjavík Grapevine crediting Valgeir Sigurðsson with writing the arrangements on her 2001 album Vespertine, although this was not the case at all. She took the liberty of correcting the respective article, offering the true full credits of the album and then went on and accuessed the journalists of sexism, not necessarily the Grapevine, but rather…
Burial is quite possibly the most enigmatic artist in the last few years, releasing two highly well regarded albums, in almost complete anonymity. He’s a totally focused individual, who cares about nothing but his music; his own person comes in second place. Add that to his London underground dubstep music, and you’ve got a really shrouded, but very intriguing persona on your hands. Now, In a recent blog post on his MySpace page today (August…
Who here doesn’t love sample mashups? I know I find them yummy and Girl Talk is one of the people who’s brought it to a state of art. Feed the Animals, his latest and fourth album is another record comprised exclusively out of samples from other people’s music, with a few dashes of original GT instrumentation here and there. “Still Here” may just be my favorite song, off the June 19th released album, but what…
