Few artists can release five ‘best of’ compilations and actually get away with it, but if you’re name is [tag]Morrissey[/tag] you’re not just ‘any artist’, as his latest and sixth compilation record “Greatest Hits” is set for a early February release. The best of mostly includes hits from his post ’00s albums, like “You Are the Quarry” or “Ringleader of the Tormentors,” some tunes from the ol’ Smith days and also two bran new tracks…
Over complicated band names are every blogger’s nightmare and all I can say is a lot of people will be glad, that the Vegas quartet have decided to change their name. Well not entirely that is, just that messy exclamation point, that seems to cause a lot of trouble amongst press people, so the band’s name is just “Panic at the Disco” now. Oh and if you though one “!” is bad then check out…
I’ve always had loads of fun with [tag]Foo Fighters[/tag]’ videos, packed with a lot of humor, next to some hard rocking. The initial video for “Long Road To Ruin,” was no exception, managing to crack me up on each play. I guess there’s something about Dave Grohl, that make the Foos video magic and funny as hell. Anyway the fun train hasn’t stopped yet and a alternate version of the video was posted recently, this…
After becoming a four piece band once more, after Devin Hoff joined on bass in May, [tag]Xiu Xiu[/tag] are set to show the world, well just North America really, what the new lineup is capable of. With that in mind the band has mapped a string of shows in the US and Canada, that can be viewed right after the jump. The tour should prove to be a good chance to see how Xiu Xiu’s…
[tag]Led Zeppelin[/tag] bass player, John Paul Jones, has just been asked a series of very interesting questions by Rolling Stone, in what’s the first band member interview, since the massive O2 gig. In the interview Jones tells, famous RS critic David Fricke, that there’s a band meeting this year and confesses that “it could be fun to do more stuff.” Well that’s sure to spark a lot of commotion, meaning either their readying for a…
A lot of rumors floated around last year that, alt-rock legends of the 90’s Mark Lanegan and Greg Dulli would join forces and form a new band. Previous collaborations between each of the two’s musical projects, made it very likely and back in September 2007, the two announces that they’ve completed recording their debut album, under the moniker of The Gutter Twins. “Idle Hands” is the group’s first single and it sure does sound sweet,…
After releasing a set of European tour dates, now [tag]Radiohead[/tag] have sorta/kinda announced some North American locations, but no venues, no dates, just 22 mapped US and Canadian cities. At least you know where to expect them. Meanwhile In Rainbows sits well on the #1 of the Billboard 200, with 122,00 units sold in it’s second week, after a more weak first week (timing didn’t help). Radiohead is set to perform the North American tour,…
Here’s another opportunity to crack myself up, as [tag]Nick Cave[/tag]’s back with some new updates on “Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!” (just love the title) This time Nick and The Bad Seeds have released the video for this ‘epic’ song, that depicts the modern day interpolation of the biblical Lazarus resurrection. The video was directed by Iain Porsyth and Jane Pollard, check it out at the dig website (not digg). Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!, is out March 3,…
As of today every Wednesday we are going to write an article about something funny or what we think is funny or just what we think you would find interesting. It could be fascinating or just damn silly but in case you smile just a bit after reading the article or during the time you read it means we did it right.A few months ago I had the opportunity to go to a Rolling Stones…
