This week’s a bit poor, in term of releases, but some worthy mentions are certainly present. Lindsey Buckingham, who some of you old timers may recognize him as the Fleetwood Mac guitarist and occasional vocalist, is releasing his latest solo effort today, called “Gift of Screws.” His previous solo stuff, “Out of the Cradle” and “Under the Skin” were really good, and from what I’ve read Gift of Screws isn’t any lower, quality wise. The…

Although he’s been under some heavy critique lately, especially after that little Norwegian Wood incident, Josh Homme is still a more then capable artist, and last year’s Era Vulgaris more then proves that. However, QOTSA isn’t the only thing keeping him busy, as his garage side project with Jesse Hughes, Eagles of Death Metal, is prepping to release a new album in October. Those familiar with the band know the band shines with devilish eccentricity,…
If M.I.A. plans on quitting music for real, then she’s got a strange way of doing it, considering she’s been really active, musically speaking, lately. Just a few days ago, she got featured on Esau Mwamwaya + Radioclit’s latest leak, Rain Dance, and now she’s released yet another song, this time in collaboration with Baltimore’s Rye Rye, on “Tic Toc.” The song’s really smashing, with some really, really heavy beats and interesting samples. Next Paper…
It’s no secret I’m a huge fan of the upcoming Quantum Solace flick, who’s soundtrack is under more then capable hands with Jack White and Alicia Keys onboard. Now, it seems Jack and Coca-Cola have team up for the new Coke Zero commercial, that has Bond theme and vibe to it. The song in the background was obviously made by Jack White with Bond-like themed riffs and heavy beats. Oh, and guess what the predominant…
The Aussie hard rock veterans, AC/DC, have just finished mapping the first North American leg of their upcoming massive tour, in preparation for the much anticipated “Black Ice” album. The band is set to get onboard the rock train immediately after Black Ice gets out, as Brian Johnson and co. will first salute those about to rock in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania on October 28th, after calling it a wrap on December 18th in Charlotte, NC. Along…
Back in July the French electro duo, Justice, were comissioned by Dior Homme to make a mix for their Spring/Summer 2009 runway show. Of course, faboulous results didn’t fail to arrive, and the whole fashion show buggied to Justice beats. Now, some good months since the incident, Justice has released the whole 15 minute mix, titled “Planisphere” and distributed into four parts, as a free download at their MySpace page. What’s interesting is how the…
B. B. King is not the artist that sold the most albums in the world, he’s not the artist that attracted the biggest crowd at a concert, but he’s an artist that can release more passion and feeling in a single note than most guitarists can give in a lifetime. Perhaps the most respected blues player of all time, B. B. King is believed to be the third-greatest guitarist of “the 100 greatest guitarists of…
There has been a huge amount of attention directed at Led Zeppelin after the O2 gig, but not many clear things have seen the light of day since. The word was out that they were getting ready for a handful of concerts, but then the band seemed to hang by a thread and a bit later, Robert Plant gave the word out that Led Zeppelin is not going to tour again. Recently, Jimmy Page went…
