As expected, Animal Collective is indeed rolling out a new album in January, in the form of the upcoming Merryweather Post Pavilion via Domino Records. The news that the follow-up to last year’s fabulous Strawberry Jam will be available starting from January 29th on CD, double LP, and digital formats, came the other day with the press release we received. If you’re curious about the recording process, it took place in Oxford, Mississippi’s Sweet Tea…
The new album from The Killers, Day & Age, is right around the corner, with the release date of November 25th, getting ever closer. By the way, you’ve heard what other album lands on November 25th, right? I wasn’t really thrilled by the band’s latest single, Human, when it got out, but I’m confident Brandon and the rest of the gang can produce at least an equally satisfactory album as Sam’s Town. Above is pictured…
Ok, this is officially Oasis’ week. Everywhere I go, every blog, every podcast, mentions somewhere Oasis or the Gallagher brothers. Some part of me feels they deserve the hype, because this latest album is rock solid, a true comeback. However, the other part of me feels like this getting a bit overpretencious. Anyway, I laughed my ass off when I saw this heading on NME. Basically, in the article Liam Gallagher, one of the band’s…
It’s already a bit redundant annoying exasperating to hear about the release of Chinese Democracy. Axl’s cold hands have been clinging on to it for more than enough, and it’s still not certain what’s the current state of the album, but something really interesting happened recently. “Talking Metal” posted its latest podcast which you can download here, in which they continue the countdown of what is was by far the world’s most anticipated album. It’s…
With the release of their new video, the American quartet managed to break no less than 5 Guinness world records. Troublemaker is the second single from the band’s latest release, The Red Album, which is already stirring up spirits. An official from the Guinness World Records was there during the filming to see that everything is going acording to plan and the records are actually broken. But don’t think about anything classic, as few would…
He's not suffering from any head injury in this particular pic. He's just wasted.
Andrew Bird always struck me as an incredible songwriter, with a wide array of awesome songs spanned multiple albums, that could make even life long lived band envious. I mean, when someone releases a new internationally acclaimed album almost every year, for the last 10 years, at least, you know you’ve got true talent at your hands. Anyway, if any of you is interested in what our little Chicago troubadour has been up to lately,…
Earlier today, Kanye guested at the “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” where he didn’t miss the occasion to premier the video for his latest single “Love Lockdown.” Tribal motives, mixed together with Ikea furniture and suit dressed Kanye (No, Kanye, you don’t dress like white people). Love Lockdown is off Kanye’s upcoming new album, “808s and Heartbreak,” who’s release was announced today as being on November 25. Just in time to rip off the Christmas charts.
The Pretenders are back with a new album this week, in the form of “Break up the Concrete,” a fun, classic Pretenders record, that’s sure to delight any nostalgic punk (don’t give me any of that ‘punk’s not dead’ crap). Chrissie Hynde, which looks fantastic by the way (considering she’s in her late 50s!), and the rest of the gang stormed David Letterman’s Late Show with an awesome performance of “Boots of Chinese Plastic,” a…
Last year’s Strawberry Jam was definitely yummy! Quite scrumcious, if I may do so say myself. Actually, last year was an awesome one for the AC band members, since they toured a lot, released a very well received album, while Panda Bear also released a solo record of his own, the critically acclaimed Person Pitch. Let’s not forget about the new EP, Water Curses, Animal Collective rolled out back in May ’08. Now, these crazy…
