Tibi PuiuFolks, I give you Talk Music! If up ’till now you happen to be unfamiliar with Dan Smith’s sound, better know as Listener, then be happy and rejoice for you have now come across one of the few artists in the scene today that can actually think with both heart and brains. His new album called “Wooden Heart” is out today, July 6th, and I urge anyone who’s keen on dwelling into a mind reinvigorating…
A movie about facebook – big fail. Trent Reznor scoring it – wait a minute?
Staring Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg - perfect seeing how both names end in 'berg'.
The Sword’s new album art is from a universe far far away
I first saw The Sword when they opened for Metallica two years ago and they simply blew my mind away with their hypnotic blend of stoner metal and hard banging riffs. These guys know how to stimulate your psychic, I’m telling you. Covered above is the new album art for the Austinites upcoming third studio album, “Warp Riders.” Appropriately for a “psychedelic space opera” concept record, the cover, by artist Dan McPharlin, perfectly illustrates the…
[VIDEOS] Gorillaz live @ Glastonbury Festival
Damon Albarn and his Gorillaz had some big shoes to fill this weekend at the famous Glastonbury Festival, where they played as headliners, replacing U2 who had to cancel their summer tour after Bono’s injury. Add that to the fact that last year Damon Albarn headlined the festival, when he played a legendary gig with Blur, and you’ve got really high expectations on your hands. Gorillaz where up to it, however, and delivered an uplifting…
[VIDEO] Interpol – ‘Lights’
Complementary body painting, drugs, Asian chicks, polygons fetishes, and some gross dripping saliva which could pass for NSFW if someone just happens to see that particular scene of Interpol’s latest video for Lights. Gosh, that was weird.
Here’s some horrid stuff to start off the morning: Diamond Rings – ‘Show Me Your Stuff’
First off, I’m not really sure why I’m going ’bout posting this kind of crap, but here goes nothing. John O’Regan, known on the indie scene under his Diamond Rings moniker, is a Toronto based maxx pop artist who’s been turning some heads locally with a few 7″s and gigs, and is now prepping for his full length debut “Special Affections”, allegedly slated for a fall release. This morning, O’Regan’s video for his latest single…
The new Black Mountain album // ‘Wilderness Heart’
The above completely ludicrous illustration is the official cover art for Black Mountain’s third studio effort, “Wilderness Heart”, designed by the band’s keyboardist Jeremy Schmidt. Yeah, any kind of art with jaws in it is badass art in my book. The psych rockers’ previous effort, the 2008 “In the Future”, was extremely well received, catapulting the Vancouver quintet in a hot position of the scene. Not too much is known about Wilderness Heart at this…
[VIDEOS] Arcade Fire play their first gig in three years / summer tour dates!
This weekend, Arcade Fire played their first gig in three years at the Notman House in Montreal, Quebec, where they played 12 songs, out of which 8 were brand new off the new upcoming album. The gig was actually some sort of private showing limited to a 75 strong crowd – an interesting warm-up for the band’s upcoming summer tour. Below you can check out a few videos shot by the people behind the Pop…
It’s Chico Time
Al Byrne
Is that Eddie Izzard fronting a rock band? It is not. It is this thing: Chico Fellini, who are some manner of rock n’ roll beat combo. And here is what I’m telling you about them: they are releasing a double A-side single on the first of every month, featuring a Fellini original, and a cover song chosen by a magic swan (I think/hope/imagine). They have dubbed this endeavour “The Singles Series”. Quite cleverly too,…
Good Morning, Captain: Awake Young Soldiers
As I busy myself with preparation for an excursion to London for an interview with the lovely Amber Rubarth (here is my itinerary: day one shall be spent getting lost, mugged and settled; day two doing my journalism “thang”; day three missing my flight, and resignedly lying down on the unyielding London streets to await the frosty fingers of death) I chance to receive a text message from old friend Mairéad Kavanagh, informing me that…
