The latest scandal in the rock scene erupted a few days ago, after it was shamefully discovered that the latest Metallica record, Death Magnetic, released just this Friday, sounds a lot, lot better on Guitar Hero 3, then on the actual CD. That’s what mastering engineer Ian Shepherd discovered when, on a tip from a Metallica forum, he compared the compression rates between the CD and the GH versions. What’s even sadder is that the…
The miraculous, extravagant, uber psyched out dance-punk duo, MGMT, dropped off by KCRW’s radio station yesterday, where they performed an awesome set. The powerful indie anthems, “Time to Pretend” and “Electric Feel,” were obviously the stand out songs, after all they’re the radio darlings, but the band surprised us by opting to also do a cover song. The victims covered artists were a ’80s Danish synth-pop band called Laid Back, that had a short break…
We’ve really talked about the new Bond theme song pretty extensively, these past few days, from the coke ad we first had the chance to glimpse a few riffs of it, to Jack White’s flattering praises when discussing his collaboration with Alicia Keys. Anyway, the latest Bond theme song, “Another Way to Die,” finally hit the air waves today, and, from the few listens I’ve had, it deserves the hype. The song’s simply wonderful! Jack…
Pinback’s last year Autumn of the Seraphans was really awesome for me, with a lot of great hooks and memorable riffs. Anyway, what better way to promote the album then an autumn tour? No pun intended, of course. The tour kicks off tonight, in Dallas, and is set to keep the band all busy the whole months of September and October. Joining Pinback on stage, during the curse of the tour, will be Kylesa, sBach…
Sad news for Foo fans everywhere, today, after Dave Grohl stated the band will be taking a “long break” from music and have warned fans not to expect a new album any time soon. “We’ve never really taken a long break, I think it’s time,” he told BBC Radio 1’s DJ Chris Moyles, who he also told the Foos will now officially go on hiatus then return with a new sense of purpose further down…

After her debult album, “Alright, Still,” made a lot of waves in the Brit pop scene, Lily Allen is ready to take things to the next level with her upcoming sophomore album, “Stuck on The Naughty Step,” in which she’ll try to make a bit of sound transition from Ska to electro-pop, while still retaining her well written verses. Apparently, the album is already written and recorded for over a month, but complication with her…
Kanye’s latest single, that seems to be on every hip kid’s iPod as of lately, “Love Lockdown,” has been remastered, after he hit the studio again, in an attempt to hide the song’s hurried, cranky and, well, just incomplete nature. Love Lockdown was released for the first time during last week’s VMA’s, in an attempt to capitalize on the live performance of the song, however, due to Kanye’s intent on getting this song as fast…
