Cyndi Lauper is one hell of a singer ! If you haven’t listened to her, you really should, it’s exactly the 80s kind of oldies but goldies, and with a tremendous voice. But she’s also one hell of entertainer, and after all these years, she still knows how to have fun. Things were getting pretty ugly in the airport in Buenos Aires, flights were delayed and canceled, and everybody was on the edge of their…
In preparation for the band’s upcoming, yet untitled, forth studio release the Arctic Monkeys recently unveiled online the first single off of it, called “Brick by Brick”, which now has a music video penned to it as well. The sunny waves, lazy afternoons and palm trees do well to hint to the fact that recordings took place in LA, at Hollywood’s Sunset Sound Studios by longtime collaborator James Ford. Further details regarding the follow-up to…
So, just another morning, browsing the internet and all, when I came across this picture. I’m gonna chalk it up to no comment, but seriously, do you remember Nirvana ?
This Saturday the NYC garage re-revivalists returned to SNL as part of their third live appearance on the show, where they played two tracks promoting the new upcoming album, “Angles”. The band first kicked off their two song performance with the record’s lead single “Under Cover of Darkness”, a mediocre performance for an otherwise equally mediocre song, before continuing with a The Police cover of “Life is Simple in the Moonlight”, where they actually took…
I think I’ve probably stumbled upon YouTube’s greatest gem yet, where today the entire hour and a half splendid Arcade Fire concert from last year’s Madison Square Garden performance (8/5/2010) was released. The full length re-broadcast is part of the UNSTAGED series and was directed by legendary film director Terry Gillam. I recommend you make yourself comfortable, joined by someone dear to you, and watch this right away. Yes, it’s very good!
Last year, a unique musical opera based on Charles Darwin and his book “On The Origin Of Species” was performed, and subsequently released, by The Knife, Mt. Sims and Planningtorock, which from my understanding has been highly praised well beyond the Scandinavian scene. I haven’t sample the opera and before today I’ve been totally ignorant of Planningtorock, Janine Rostron musical alter-ego, a highly atmospheric and eery outfit – in a word a faithful, still genuine,…
Good news for Foo fans! As exploremusic.com reports, it seems the first single off the band’s yet untitled new album is called “Rope” and will be delivered to radio stations at 7am ET on February 23rd. You can listen to the song below in a low quality YouTube video recording the Foos performing the song during a recent secret LA showcase. It indeed doesn’t seem to do the original recording justice, filled of distortions at…
After last year’s Ted Leo hilarious music video for “Bottled in Cork”, comes a new extravagant roller coaster ride courtesy of the same director Tom Scharpling, this time for The New Pornographers latest single “Moves”. The video, disguised as a fake trailer for expectantdadsmovie.com “staring” Paul Rudd and Bill Hader, follows the rise to fame of one of Canada’s most appreciated artistic imports. Its indeed interesting to see actors portray the band members, and it’s…
The new Daft Punk soundtrack for one of the most anticipated theatrical release of 2010, Tron: Legacy, is slated for tomorrow, and this latest hype builder of a music video for Derezzed, which premiered just earlier today, does nothing but amplify the sentiment. Nothing too much to say about the video, other that it’s quite awesome – the duo enter the film’s legendary Flynn’s Arcade setting where they get sucked into Tron’s marvelous video game…
Last night Conan’s eccentric show, which featured the host wearing ladies’ jeggings and the three Kardashian sisters on the same couch, which is three too many, was topped by a sharp performance of Deerhunter’s “Helicopter” off the band’s latest full length effort, the recently released “Halcyon Digest”. This was Deerhunter’s first national TV appearance and the band performed well on par. Check out Helicopter live on the video player below. Watch the ghostly official video…
