Raconteurs chit-chat reveals upcoming album details

A peculiar conversation went on earlier today, at [tag]The Raconteurs[/tag] MySpace profile, between band members [tag]Jack White[/tag] and Brendan Benson. The conversation revolved mainly on the band’s future LP, but also sidetracked a bit on some hilarious lines about drugs, merchandising and the omni-present fear for L.J. ( ‘Little Jack’ Lawrence – the band’s bassist player). The conclusion, if existing, is that they’ve started writing and recording a lot of songs, that are different anything…

New Bat for Lashes video: ‘What’s A Girl To Do’

Brighton’s own Natasha Khan and her crew from Bat for Lashes have once again released a kick ass video, of hypnotic proportions: ‘What’s A Girl To Do’. The video looks like a classic horror flick intro, creepy piano lines and pulsing beats, with of course the usual BFL anomalies, like a band of mascot headed bicyclists riding behind Natasha K. and doing syncs. Director Douglas Wilson has really done a great job on capturing the…

Beck releases latest single: ‘Time Bomb’

Yesterday, 20 August, [tag]Beck[/tag] released his latest single “Time Bomb” via iTunes at 0.99$, you can buy it from other download and retail stores starting 28 August. The old man’s still got it, and hits us with a classic Beck single, with electro vibes, annoying piano line, and a ga-ga-ga chorus. At first listen its quite annoying, but it’s grown on me now, quite fun actually, with doom’s day lyrics about ticking bombs, red alerts…
