Download new Oasis song ‘Falling Down’ + new album art

The cover art for Oasis’s upcoming album, Dig Out Your Soul, out October 7th Well, the last news I expected from Oasis right now was concerning their upcoming album. I mean, I was certain we’d hear something of a response from Noel Gallagher, regarding the whole Jay-Z/Oasis dissing from a few days. Anyway, I’m glad the band has somewhat abandoned their publicity whoring, for a while at least, and concentrated on what really matters: music….

Metallica Live in Bucharest

Wednesday, 23 July, I had the luck of being at a Metallica concert, in Bucharest, at Cotroceni stadium. Living not that far from it and knowing the city pretty much, I arrived early in the morning to check some parts of the city. Some good and bad news came up from then: some parts of the city looked great, with amazing architecture, while some were in very bad shape. The traffic was almost really stuck…

This weekend, while Fergie was singing in Coast Mesa, California, Slash joined her on the stage to sing some tunes, including Sweet Child O’ mine and Heart’s “Barracuda.”.

Jewel – from pop hit to country princess?

The gorgeous blonde has recently lost some fans due to what they call a shift to country music. But her response is the same, no matter how many times she is asked about this. The acclaimed singer-songwriter is trying to explain why even though the music on her seventh record, “Perfectly Clear,” is a departure from the smooth dance-rock of 2003’s “0304”. Basically what she said is “I haven’t gone country. I didn’t wake up…

Josh Groban – Awake Live CD/DVD

We’ve written about Josh Groban before, about what would become Amazon best-seller Noel. I thought I knew him – I honestly did! But then, he did something to completely change my mind about him as a man: he appeared in this hilarious video (NSFW), along with Silverman, Kimmel, Damon, Affleck and many more. Now, after watching Awake, I had to change my mind about him as a musician too. Filmed in 2007 in Salt Lake…
