Arizona alt legends Jimmy Eat World are back with a new LP in the form of their sixth record Chase This Light. Elsewhere [tag]R.E.M.[/tag] releases their firs long awaited live DVD, titled R.E.M. Live, that features some of the band’s greats hits, recorded on a live performance in Dublin, back in 2005. Your favorite pussycat [tag]Nicole Scherzinger[/tag], is also releasing her debut solo album this week, suggestively titled Her Name Is Nicole. Jimmy Eat World:…
We’ve been eagerly waiting to sample [tag]Kylie Minogue[/tag]’s new work, every since we posted about her comeback in the mainstream. Her latest single “2 Heats.” from her forthcoming tenth studio album, is looking pretty damn good and reminisces the glamor of “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head.” The video features Kylie dressed in a somewhat retro black dress, singing and dancing on top of piano, while the rest of her band jams around her….
Yesterday we unveiled the Sawdust cover art and it seems we can’t get enough of [tag]The Killers[/tag] lately. If you didn’t found their Joy Division take to your liking, then give another try to their latest teaser “Tranquilize,” featuring Velvet Underground frontman Lou Reed. It’s pretty much Killers work, nothing to fancy or unexpectedly brilliant, but pretty fun nevertheless, especially due to the Lou Reed duet; the man’s a god!
There is a lot of interest around record labels these days and there are bands like Radiohead and Oasis which are trying to shift the balance of power. They are trying to move the power from the record labels to the people. But aside from that there is also a shift of power inside record labels. [tag]Madonna[/tag]’s deal to abandon Warner Music for concert promoter Live Nation signals more than just a tectonic shift in…
He was known as lead guitarist for legendary hard-rock act Guns ‘N Roses and his drinking is somewhat legendary. He is 42 and a father of two and he says that he came of age in a pre-Internet, pre-camera-phone era — one where entertainers were still entitled to a modicum of privacy. But technology is at growing fast and there is a lot of gossip around the most intimate details of a rocker’s life. The…
Artist name: Jennifer Lopez Album name: Brave Label: Epic Gender: Pop Release date: October 8, 2007 ZMErating: 8/10 Website: http://www.jenniferlopez.com/ This is the fifth English language studio album recorded by [tag]Jennifer Lopez[/tag] and beyond any predetermined ideas it is not that bad. Her previous release which was named Rebirth lacked many things and the R&B act was not that good. She goes for a 70s/80s pop sound and manages to keep you listening to it….
Just a few weeks ago we told you how amazed we were of Natasha Khan’s cover of [tag]Bruce Springsteen[/tag] classic “I’m On Fire,” who slowed down the song’s tempo and added a melancholic piano line; the end result was a song of her own, what covers should really be. Now it’s time for Portland’s [tag]Chromatics[/tag] to cover the Born In The USA single, trying a minimalistic approach to the song. Subtle guitar chords and calming…
The Franz Ferdinand protégés [tag]The Cribs[/tag] have recently released the dates for their forthcoming trek to the States and Canada. The gigs will kick off next month and if you didn’t know this already, then beware the band is really fierce and wild on their live shows, for a indie band at least, being pretty notorious for chaotic performances and frontman Ryan Jarman in-crowd passing outs. Dates after the jump.
Last week we had the chance to sample [tag]The Killers[/tag] latest take on a Joy Division classic, “Shadowplay”, cover which is present in the Las Vegas quartet upcoming B Sides, rarities and remixes album Sawdust. Today it’s time for another cover . . . cover art that is, as the record’s artwork has been revealed later today. It features a autumn forest landscape with a big and neglected arm in the center.
The [tag]Radiohead[/tag] lead guitarist and part time lyrical guru, alongside Thom Yorke, has graciously accepted to respond to a few questions, pondered by our colleagues from Rolling Stone and NYC’s Gothamist. Questions range from general “In Rainbows” info, like it’s particular distribution method, it’s sound quality and over all sound; to Johhny’s recent solo work that includes a orchestra composition and a Paul Andresson flick soundtrack. Gothamist: What’s motivating the band to distribute the album…
