New The Streets video: ‘Heaven for the Weather’

The new video for The Streets’ latest single, “Heaven for the Weather,” isn’t nearly as melodramatic as the last one, for Everything is Borrowed. This latest installment features the honorable Dr. M. Skinner, a sorta cult guru, who has a huge fan base of people who worship his book, ‘Get Low.’ Who knows what hidden paths to enlightenment this fictional book might contain, but I’m pretty sure it’s got some pretty slick scientologic rhymes.

New Music Monday: 3 November

It’s not a very spectacular week, in terms of new musical releases, but there are some pretty interesting stuff to pick from, nonetheless. After the UK release last month, which got pretty well received, Travis put out their latest album, titled “Ode to J. Smith,” on the US shelves, as well. Although it’s been out for such a long time, I have to say I haven’t heard a single track off the new record, but…

AC/DC are the first band to ever release video in Excel format

If there was even a single doubt in your mind, it has to be shattered NOW. AC/DC fuc*ing rocks. After everything they’ve done, after releasing just dozens of massive classic hits, they just come back and ripped everything apart with their latest release, Black Ice. My fingers are just itching to write a review for that, so keep an eye out, cause the album’s just brilliant. But that’s not the issue here. The rock gods…

Ryan Adams and the Cardinals: ‘Cardinology’

Artist name: Cardinals Album name: Cardinology Label: Lost Highway Records Gender: Alternative Rock, Country Release date: October 28, 2008 ZMErating: 9.5/10 Website: www.ryan-adams.com From my point of view, it’s a big shame that Ryan Adams has been in the spotlight due to his drug related problems and mental meltdowns and tantrums than for artistic reasons. But if he had a chance to release an album that would rise him above his current level, Cardinology would…

The Esential Halloween Mixtape by ZME Music

Photo by Gwen Halloween. Ghouls, specters, vampires, werewolves and candy – these are just a few words that sum up for most the jolly good vibe of All Saints’ Eve. For a special few, though, Halloween means a theme parties, costumes, beer and lots, and lots of music. For these special few, we’ve decided to compile a little mixtape, which should prove to be quite entertaining. How did pick the song? We’ll scary isn’t enough….

New Ryan Adams (with The Cardinals) video: ‘Fix It’ (live @ David Letterman)

Ryan Adams latest, tenth album, recorded with his long time collaborators The Cardinals, titled “Cardinology”, got out on shelves of record stores all over the country this week. It’s quite incredible how Ryan manages to spit out records after records in such a short time span. Sincerely, he would put most other songwriters to shame, but, like I’ve already said it before, I feel like he’s rushing things too much. This leads to half-baked stuff….

Download: Kanye West – ‘Robocop’

It seems Kanye’s goodie bag is getting ever loose, as another track off his new, November upcoming album, “808s and Heartbreak,” got leaked. “Robocop” is packed with robot-like samples, heavy beats crossed with harmonizing violins (right?) and, thank God, no rapping! Until now, 808s is forming up like a very good, solid installment to Kanye’s already impressive catalog. We’ll know once November 25th, the new album’s release date, finally arrives. Download: Kanye West – Robocop…

New Coldplay video: ‘Lovers in Japan’

I really loved this year’s “Viva la Vida” by Coldplay, quite unexpectedly, actually. Lovers in Japan, the band’s latest single, is one of my favorite songs off new album, next to Lost and 42, thanks to its easy going, anthemic vibe. I’m really a sucker for these types of melodies. The video doesn’t come any shorter, either, with simple, colorful, visually stimulative frames, that makes the whole experience a lot more pleasant and relaxing. It…

Mastodon ‘crack the skye’ with new LP and tour details

The Atlantian prog metalists of Mastodon are growing ever closer to releasing their latest LP, under the fine production skills of Brendan O’Brien (Bruce Springsteen, AC/DC, Rage Against the Machine). , which now finally has a title: ‘Crack The Skye.’ I still haven’t had the chance to track down the etymology of the name, but what I know for sure is that it’s gonna be another concept album, this time, however, while the previous three…
