What’s this? Dave Grohl just wrote to Metallica? That’s right, former Nirvana drummer and current Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has released an “open letter” to Metallica. Call me an idiot, but there’s only one reason he’d do this – he’s afraid it’s going to suck. OK, maybe suck is a harsh word… he’s afraid the album they’re going to release will not rise to it’s potential (aren’t we all?). Anyway, great letter, and I…
OK, this is definitely one of the biggest issues of the music industry – it could just be the biggest. With the ever growing influence and power of the internet, it’s only natural that artist would seek a cheaper yet more effective way of promoting himself. Also, the internet has some other advantages, such as the fact that it appeals to a way larger number of people and there are no deadlines, no nothing. After…
Daniel Snaith (read Caribou) return with a fantastic effort last year, when he unveiled his paradisaical Andorra (no, not the financial paradise). “Irene” was one of my favorite tracks from it, so you can imagine the joy when I first set eyes on the video a few hours ago. Speaking of the video, it centeres the song’s vibe and ideas perfectly, featuring calming and serene footages of nature, sleepy animals, lazy insects and still waters…
With the band’s new album, “Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends” right on the corner, it was righteously expected Coldplay would soon announce their tour dates. And so they’ve had, at least the initial North American ones. The band is set to play through the whole summer and much of autumn in the US and Canada, as part of their massive world tour planned that will see Coldplay play in 4 continents…
Things have cooled off a bit, after these last few weeks of really serious releases. Nevertheless, there’s still a few interesting stuff out this week, that will definitely grace your ears with some fine music. First off there’s the pop/rock/acoustic/jazz, and whatever different genres he’s playing, singer/songwriter Jason Mraz, with his highly anticipated third record “We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things.” One of my old time favorites, the indie rock quartet Death Cab for…
“There are a lot of stories I could tell about places I played and people I played with,” says Jorge Otero, the founder and only continuing member of the Spanish rock band Stormy Mondays, a name that most hardcore blues fan can relate to, being the title of one of T-Bone Walker’s classic songs. Indeed Jorge and his band have traveled and played in a lot of places, from the rainy Spanish Northern Coast, to…
A while back, Beck said he’s planning a new release for this year, but he refused to give further details, other then he’ll be collaborating with a famous producer. According to a recent press release the alleged famous producer, is non other the Danger Mouse and Beck’s, still untitled upcoming album, will get out much sooner then most of us thought, namely in the summer, maybe even in June. The record will be 10 track…

Jack Rubinacci is an artist that just recently graced my ears, with his beautiful, soulful music. Half English/Italian, Jack spent a big chuck of his life on the road, traveling from country to country, until he eventually landed in Norway, where he currently lives. His particular experience of life, appreciation for the intellect and sensible character (he likes to think of himself as a true Virgo), makes his music sounds beautifully eclectic and very lyrically…
