Here’s something I managed to grab off a cool thread on 7chan (no, I don’t hang out there, but a WoW buddy linked me). Yup, that’s Enter Sandman on a rhythm of lol cats. Now, that’s what I call LOL.
7chan vs Metallica!
New Bon Iver video – ‘Flume’ (live on Conan O’Brien)
Bon Iver took Conan O’Bien’s Late Night show by storm, last night, after Justin Vernon and the rest of the gang made their US nation-wide television debut with a stelar performance of “Flume,” as part of their 08 tour in support of the debut album. A well deserved shout out to Conan for the impecable pronounciation (obviously, I didn’t know it right, till now.). Also, if you’re looking for more Bon Iver goodness check out…
Download: Kinds of Leon – ‘Closer’
With only a week or so until the new Kings of Leon album, “Only by the Night”, lands on September 22, things have really begun to shapen up. We’ve already released two songs off the new album, including the first single Sex on Fire, but this time we have for you what I find to be the best song off The Night, in the form of the record opener, “Closer.” The song is really slow…
New Bloc Party video: ‘Talons’
Man, Bloc Party’s taking the whole surprise, out of the blue effect a bit too serious, to the point of exaggeration even. After releasing their latest LP, “Intimacy,” on a very short notice a few weeks ago, the band has now premiered a new single, “Talons,” that off Intimacy, but the thing is it wasn’t present on the digital release, as Kele were saving it to add an even greater effect to the spontaneous album….
Oasis frontman attacked on stage at Toronto’s Virgin Festival [video]
Haha, you gotta give it to those Canadians, they really know how to crash a party. During Oasis’ set on last night’s Toronto Virgin Festival, right in the middle of “Morning Glory,” a dude from the crowd came from out of the nowhere and put a good shuv on Noel Gallagher, causing him to fell off the stage. The band took some good 10 minutes to recover and then returned to complete their set. In…
Kanye with what’s possibly a new album + tours
At last Sunday’s Disney VMA’s Kanye West premiered a new song, performing the new drumline-backed Love Lockdown (stereogum). Now, apparently Kanye’s not only rolling out new songs, but also a new album. No official word has been released by either Kanye or his publicist, but retail sites like Amazon and Target are listing LP4 under the title 808’s & Heartbreak with a release date of 12/16, so this seems as real as it can be….
The new Quantum Solace trailer predicts awesomeness!
Boy, oh boy. Folks, there’s a new Quantum Solace trailer on the horizon and let me tell you that from these short, but intense, 2 minutes this is gonna be a one heck of a ride. I mean the franchize has really gonne to a whole different level once Craig joined in as Bond. He definitely adds a lot of depth and feel into the character; definitely the best Bond ever. Btw for those of…
New Music Monday: 8 September
Muhaha, finally the day has come! The day the new Metallica album, going by the name “Death Magnetic”, has finally surfaced, after never ending anticipation and, well, posts from our behalf. Still haven’t gone around to download grab a copy of the album, but from the first two singles already publicly released, Death Magnetic could end up pretty decent; I mean, definitely better then St. Anger, for Christ’s sake! Austin’s own Okkervil River are also…

Emma Quinlan
Artist name: Primal Scream Album name: Beautiful Future Label: B-Unique Records/Atlantic Records Genre: Alternative Rock/Indie Rock Release date: July 21, 2008 ZMErating: 6/10 Website: www.primalscream.net Shock. The initial feeling that engulfed my body after I had sat and listened to the new Primal Scream album, “Beautiful Future”. Shock because I felt as though the old Primal Scream that I knew and loved, had been replaced with new, melodic and calm impostors. Again I stress this…
Download: Keane – ‘Love Is The End’
There’s been a lot of talk around Keane’s upcoming third album, “Perfect Symmetry,” especially because, allegedly, the band has gone throw a change of direction from multiple points of view. “Love Is The End” is one of the 11 tracks that can be found on the new LP, and, from what I can tell, sounds the same as any other Keane song. I mean, I’ve only listened to only two songs from the new album,…
