At the beginning of the month, we announced that Rivers will be releasing a new follow-up to last year’s bootleg Alone, in the form of the upcoming November 25th release of lost, stuffed away Cuomo goodies, titled Alone II. You saw the funky yearbook haircut and had a first sample of Alone II, when we streamed I Want To Take You Home Tonight, now it’s time for a new song. Rivers Cuomo just posted a…
Download: The Killers – ‘A Creeppling Blow’
The Killers’ new album “Day & Age” is still a bit distant, concerning its release date, with another 2 weeks left before it finally gets out. Despite this, most of it’s tracks, including the lead single Human, got leaked all over the internet for quite a while. Speeking of Human, the single’s B-side is called “A Creepling Blow,” and from my personal point of view, at least, it sounds better then the single itself. Quite…
Rick Astley: best. act. ever
If any proof was relevant or even need, Rick Astley received the Best Act Ever Award, yesterday night at the EMAs, proving his fans ‘never gave him up’ either. Sadly, Rick wasn’t present at the EMAs to pick up the award or even sing his smashing hit song, “Never Gonna Give You Up.” In his absence, though, the Award was picked up by Katy Perry and Perez Hilton who charmed the audience with a quick…

New Feist video: ‘Honey Honey’
This goes to show that Feist can also release more deep and artistic videos, as she just did with the Anthony Seck directed music video for “Honey Honey.” It’s far from sophisticated work art, but it’s damn well no iPod commercial. The melancholic, weary vibe of the song suits the video’s dreamy atmosphere perfectly, making time fly by in heart beat. To end this little post with a somewhat sad note, Feist just announced she’ll…
Chinese Democracy album art and tracklist revealed
I didn’t want to believe it when I first heard “Chinese Democracy” was gonna finally go live sometime this year, but it seems more and more veridic that the fact is, indeed, happening! The 14 years album in the making by what’s left of the Guns N’ Roses, just a shadow of its former, glorious self, is, as previously reported a while back, going to officially hit BestBuy stores (where the album will be released…
Download: The Killers – ‘Human’
The Killers are working hard and long prepping their third record for the highly anticipated release date of November 25, when “Day & Age” finally gets out. Last year’s rarities/B-sides box set, “Sawdust,” didn’t deliver at all and left me with a bitter taste in my mouth. I mean, it’s not that they’ve released any high-end material, really, but let’s face it they have a few good songs. “Mr. Brightside” or “When You Were Young”…
Noel Gallagher is planning a solo LP
I don’t know if Noel Gallagher’s recent bump to the head affected his judgment or anything, but just recently he announced he’d like to release a solo album soon. His first one, as far as my humble knowledge is concerned (and Google’s of course). Furthermore, the Oasis singer/songwriter said he’d like all four members of the band to releasing their own stuff, as soon as their latest effort, “Dig Out Your Soul,” gets out and,…
Lily Allen set to release new album in 2009
After her debult album, “Alright, Still,” made a lot of waves in the Brit pop scene, Lily Allen is ready to take things to the next level with her upcoming sophomore album, “Stuck on The Naughty Step,” in which she’ll try to make a bit of sound transition from Ska to electro-pop, while still retaining her well written verses. Apparently, the album is already written and recorded for over a month, but complication with her…
