Hot Chip + Fake Blood = Awesomeness! Lately, I’ve really began to get into Fake Blood’s brilliant remixes, mostly because I love the way he takes other people’s music, mashes up, adds a bit of ‘fake blood’ and cinnamon and makes it his own. His latest remix is that of “Touch Too Much,” originally played by Hot Chip, off Made in The Dark. Check it out the mp3 bellow, as well as Fake Blood’s other…
Missing In Action: Axl Rose
This came up as really strange, when I first read about it in The Sun. Apparently Axl Rose is nowhere to be found for the last two months, fact that apparently aggravates the hell out of Guns ‘n’ Roses’ label, Geffen. It seems Geffen is really disappointed in Axl Rose, since the band just recently released its 15 years in the making album, “Chinese Democracy,” and the Guns haven’t done anything to promote it. No…
2 minute sneak peak on the latest episode of LOST
We’re all big fans of LOST, the TV series aired by ABC, and seeing how the show is nearing the premiere of its fifth season, enthusiasm is floating in the air. I like its intelligent and psychological nature, being made with an intricate plot, a heck load of twists (maybe too many) hand a lot of complex characters. It’s a bit too Sci Fi at times and the twists can be really frustrating, these being…
51st Grammys: and the nominees are …
Anybody else feels the Grammys have grown increasingly irrelevant? I for one have had it up to here with the Grammys, every year we’re fed with the same old, predictable crap. Aren’t the VMAs enough for one year? Anyway, this year the Grammys nominees are surprisingly decent, with a lot of new and low buzz artists. Musicians like M.I.A, Rufus Wainwright, Hot Chip, Adele, alongside the likes of Coldplay, Radiohead, Metallica, Madonna or Daft Punk…
Department of Eagles head out on a winter treak
“In Ear Park”, the latest album from the brilliant duo of Department of Eagles, consisting of Grizzly Bear’s Daniel Rossen and old college pal Fred Nicolaus, just got released a few weeks ago and I’m already feeling that it’s some of the best new music I’ve listened in months. Now DoE is ready to set out on a promotional tour across a few dates in Europe and then, right after the new year, in the…
When Chinese Democracy is taken literal
Oh baby this was bound to happen. What am I talking about?? Yeah, a newspaper run by the Chinese communist rulling party is slamming and thrashing the oh so much expected Guns’N’Roses new album, Chinese Democracy. They claim it’s an attack on their nation, and there’s a really big chance that it’s going to be illegal in that country, though I have to say it’s hard for me to understand how an objective listener could…
Download: Vampired Weekend – ‘The Kids Don’t Stand a Chance’ (Chromeo remix)
I just stumbled upon a really, really sweet remix of Vampire Weekend’s “The Kids Don’t Stand A Chance,” by one of my favorite DJ duo, Chromeo. I just really love how the two managed to transform the track into a up-beat, ’80s-like disco anthem. Something to light up your day. [display_podcast]
New Bruce Springsteen video: ‘My Lucky Day’
The Boss is ready to put out another solid release, as his 16th studio album, “Working on a Dream,” is set to get out at the beginning of the new year. I really enjoyed Bruce’s last year album, Magic, and thought it made quite an awesome winter record, because it had that Christmas cheer on so many of the tracks. It had a lot of hope and passion, like most of Bruce Springsteen’s records to…
Axl Rose demands an apology from behalf of Dr. Pepper
I knew Axl and his lot were outrageous from the start, but this latest stunt is really weird, not to say stupid – the type of thing Prince would be proud of. Ok, remember the Dr. Pepper ad that stated if Chinese Democracy would finally get released in 2008, then the company would give out a can of Dr. Pepper to every American citizen (apart from Slash and Buckethead, of course)? Well, this week, on…
The Jesus Lizard is back!!1!1eleven! [re-groups and tours]
What’s maybe the most iconic and appreciated noise rock group ever, the Chicago underground super group The Jesus Lizard, is set to reform and tour next year just like in the old days. A lot of mayhem is predicted, thus! The last we’ve seen the band together was almost a decade ago, when Jesus Lizard decided to call it quits and let each member go on his own roads. Speaking of which, all four of…
