The man that I find to be the best and most representative balladeer of new millenium, [tag]Devendra Banhart[/tag] will be releasing a new album called next Tuesday, 25 September. As a more then sufficient sample of his new work Devandra has put out for streaming the whole thing on his myspace, all 16 tracks. Listen it, feel it and buy it!
About two weeks have passed since the Italian legend named Luciano Pavarotti left us and the world is still not used to that idea. His fans and people from every corner of the world go and listen to his recordings or watch bits from the opera. But for some there are more pressing problems. Like his money. His second wife has an attorney named Giorgio Bernini and he has stated that in the final months…
The [tag]Sex Pistols[/tag] are an iconic and highly influential English punk rock band and they were described by the BBC as “the definitive English punk rock band.”. They were also credited with initiating the punk movement in the United Kingdom. So they formed in London in 1975 and then they stopped the band in 1978 and got back together in 1996. They performed together in 2003. Hard to understand but they are known for various…

As you most probably know a while ago the White Stripes were forced to cancel 2 months worth of touring, due to drummer’s Meg mysterious severe anxiety illness. Speculations always fallow mysteries and New York Magazine has come up with 10 reasons that would cause her breakdown. Enjoy ! 1. The cleaners keep washing her whites with her blacks and reds. 2. Difficulty of remembering drum part to “Seven Nation Army.” 3. The emotional scarring…
Old school indie rock band Les Savy Fav are back with a new record this week, in the form of Let’s Stay Friends, so a new video to go with it was a obvious choice. There not much to say about the video for “Patty Lee”, basically there’s a fashionably dressed teenaged girl dancing on the band’s music all alone, that is until she’s joined by the band at the very end. Ouch bearded groovy…
Artist name: Gloria Estefan Album name: 90 Millas Label: Burgundy Records/SonyBMG Gender: Latino/Pop Release date: September 17, 2007 ZMErating: 8/10 Website: http://www.gloriaestefan.com/ The artist which split from Miami Sound Machine in 1989 has some memorable hits but her most noticeable efforts are her Spanish-language ones. The fact that that language is not understood by everybody may haunt her but it may also bring more fans. It is a two way knife.
This is my favorite song from [tag]Interpol[/tag]’s masterpiece “Our Love To Admire”, it’s deep emotions that it inflicts upon listening are extraordinary, so I’m pretty pleased they decided to make a video for this as well and a very good one too, if you think how shady The Heinrich Maneuver was or how boring the live video for Mammoth was. Although the title might suggest a more explicit and sexual video, this isn’t the case;…
Last week was one of the busiest weeks ever in terms of releases and also very publicized due to the show down between [tag]50 Cent[/tag] and [tag]Kanye West[/tag].

Both Akron/Family and [tag]James Blunt[/tag] lead the pack for new releases…
