“I said maybe/You’re gonna be the one who saves me ? /And after all /You’re my wonderwal…” These are part of the lyrics that marked my adolescence, and got me into the genre defining act of Oasis. ‘Little by Little,’ I became a die hard fan and started checking out the band more. The bands last two records, however, did little to confirm their ’95-’00 stelar form they were in, when the only thing you…
Eagles of Death Metal on 2008 tour
Supporting their soon to be released record, “Heart On,” Eagles of Death Metal on tour this november, with further dates to be probably added. Interesting to see if Josh Homme will join the band on touring. They’ll be joined by The Hives as co-headliners, the opening day of the tour being on October 30th in Seattle. Other US cities to be graced by the Pigeons Eagles presence are Portland, Denver, New York or Washington before…
May God have mercy on our souls: Limp Bizkit is reforming
Fuck. It’s official, Limp Bizkit are reforming! Back in 2006, the band members went their separate ways after releasing the crappy not so well received comeback album, “The Unquestionable Truth.” Anyway, apparently the band is back together, as Durst confirmed at Limp Bizkit’s myspace. “Yes, it has been a while. But a while worth the wait. It is getting very close to time to drop the Bizkit on the universe. I say this with the…
Download: Jenny Lewis – ‘Acid Tongue’
Rilo Kiley’s previous record “Under The Blacklight,” didn’t quite deliver, not at its exceptions anyway. Sure, it had it’s moments, but they were more then shadowed by some lameass tracks like Smoke Detector or Money Maker. Anyway, Jenny’s still dear to me, no matter what crap she puts out. She’s like a button too. Her solo debut, featuring The Watson Twins, was pretty good. No, scratch that, it was quite awesome, even though it sounded…
New Eagles of Death Metal video: ‘Wannabe in LA’
I’m literally counting the days before the new EoDM album, Heart On, gets out, and this new video for the Jesse Hughes/Josh Homme extravaganza sure does hit the spot. Making it big in LA can be tough, often implying faustian pacts, but if you want a few moments of glamor, you might as well sell your soul to Jesse ‘The Devil’ Hughes. Btw, anyone notices any similarities between the video for the band’s latest single,…
New Marissa Nadler video: ‘Famous Blue Raincoat’
The umbrella and raincoat have always been autumn motifs for arists across the years. The semantics of these two words can vary from artists to artist; they can signify protection, depression (rain can do that to ‘ya) or, in Leonard Cohan/Marissa Nadler’s case, nostalgia. “Famous Blue Raincoat” is the name of Marissa Nadler’s cover present on her latest disk “Songs III: Birds on The Water,” a song originally penned by master Leonard Cohen (click here…
A new RATM album is getting more and more believable
With their last record being released almost a decade ago, Rage Against The Machine have definitely left a generation of fans begging for more. Their music has stewed a lot of controversy, changed lives, possibly over throned regimes (?!), and most of all rocked the hell out of any arena. Last year, the band reformed under its original lineup and performed some massive gigs cross country, proving they’ve still got it in them. Now, fans…
Lars Ulrich on Death Magnetic’s sound quality
Following the latest Metallica concerned scandal revolving around Death Magnetic doubtful quality, the band’s drummer and all round official blabbermouth, Lars Ulrich, decided to respond. For those of you unaware, a lot of people over on the Interwebs issued a list of complaints about Metallica’s recent album, including stuff like low bass, distortions, louder recordings and most importantly the significant quality differences between the Guitar Hero version and the studio version. I’ll leave you with…
New Jack White & Alicia Key video: ‘Another Way to Die’
There’s been a lot of hype lately around the latest Bond theme, performed by the flaming duo Alicia Keys and Jack White, typically named Another Way to Die. Only righteous hype, though, because this song is just smoking hot! The movie doesn’t come any lower either. The video just surfaced a few moments ago. From the few plays I gave the video, it doesn’t seem that badass. I mean, it just features the two playing…
New Coldplay video: ‘Lost!’
When Viva la Vida came out back in June, I was wrongful to hastefully criticize the album without putting enough consideration into it. Thing is, I really didn’t want to put that much thought into the band’s music at the time, since I’ve never been a fan. I don’t know what happened next, but I decided to give the album a chance and gave it 6-7 consecutive runs one day, and it totally got stuck…
