Cody Diekhoff aka The Chicago Farmer is a “folk-singer.” But, just saying that would be a huge disservice! He combines the grassroots of folk, the swooning of blues and seals the deal with honesty + harmony. A clear Dylan fan lyrically and one hell of a musician. Cody is originally from Central IL hence his second release title, “From a Small Town in IL.” He made the move to Chicago a few years ago and…
It seems Scott’s really Happy In Galoshes. I mean, who can blame him, right? I’d be happy too, if I could get to ride around the mexican desert, next to a hot brunette and, as one can see in his latest video “Missing Cleveland”, get to play astronaut with a blond lady friend. I’m not gonna touch on how the track sounds, ’cause frankly there’s not too much to talk about. Moments like these make…
There was a time when Rolling Stone’s editorials and features could rise or break an artist. In time, though, it’s influence has steadily decreased, as the magazine became increasingly irrelevant. I blame MTV – damn kids. A lot of years back, one of the most awaited issues was the December one, as it presented Rolling Stone’s take on the years best albums. For 2008, Rolling’s Stones list is surprisingly diversed, but as usual with some…
Christmas is a commin’, folks. Flashing lights, people gathering around singing carols, pompeous chrismas trees, bla, bla. You can feel all of that Chrismass cheer floating in the air … and in your whallets, of course. Capitalistic remarks aren’t my thing, though – music is. Just recently the madly ecstatic Danish duo, The Raveonettes, just released a new Christmas special EP, called “Wishing You A Rave Christmas.” Quite an interesting choive of words, if I…
Yes, I know this has been all over the Internet this past summer, but I’ve just found out about it a few minutes ago and thought it would be awesome to post it. I’m talking about Radiohead (half of it actually – Thom and Johnny) and their cover of Portishead’s “The Rip,” off this year’s awesome comeback album, “Third”. The song’s acoustic nature and the video’s casual setting (try to ignore the MAC) makes the…
Communism, comets, moving dead zombie meat, nostalgic old school animations and so on. You know, the usual Manchurian candidate stuff that Metallica have oh so often used it as a motif – like on their latest video for “All Nightmare Long.” Now if the song was on something like the Red Alert soundtrack, the video would’ve fit quite good, but, apparently, in the current setting, there’s nothing really to tie the video to the song….
Whoaaa aren’t we loving this!! After the Velvet Revolver soap opera, after going back to lifetime love STP, Scott Weiland decided it’s time to move on in his musical carreer. Again. After releasing his second album, he spoke to USA today about that. According to him, writing songs that would become hits is the least of his priorities at the moment. “There’s a beauty in being part of a band, when there’s equality and trust….
In case you’ve been living on some other distant planet, you know that in every shop you go there’s at least one record in the ‘must have’ section that involved Ritchie Blackmore. Whether it’s from Deep Purple, Rainbow, Blackmore’s night or any other project he’s been involved in, you know it’s a work of art. Still, you have to admit, the man’s taste for music has changed considerably along the years. Starting with hard rock…
Little Joy’s latest self titled debut made quite the buzz in the indie rock scene, upon it’s recent release, gaining quite a lot of positive buzz. Maybe that’s, also, partly because it’s Fabrizio Morreti’s side project, and the swarms that make up The Strokes fan base floked to listen to it. An awesome, feel good album, nonetheless. The lead single, “No One’s Better Sake,” makes up for a great party starter – too bad summer’s…
Artist name: Coldplay Album name: Prospekt’s March Label: Parlophone Genre: Alternative Rock Release date: November 21, 2008 ZMErating: 3/10 Website: www.coldplay.com Like it or not, you have to admit that Coldplay made one of the best records this year with their Viva La Vida or Death and all his Friends. That’s understandable why they want to ride on its success and squeeze all the juices till the fruit is fresh. Prospekt’s March is the EP…
