One of album’s stand out track is ‘Lake Michigan’ a song that’s video premiered earlier today on Spinner, featuring the band no where near Lake Michigan, as some of you might thought, but in a quite the opposite environement, just outside Los Angeles. Playing in middle of nowhere,…

Download: Sunset Rubdown – ‘Winged/Wicked Things’
Both Dan Boeckner and Spencer Krug, the leading men of the Montreal indie sensation [tag]Wolf Parade[/tag] seem to be doing great with their solo projects, but that just means a apron on the WP current hiatus. Dan, together with his wife released a lovely album back in December under the [tag]Handsome Furs[/tag] tag, while Spencer and his band Sunset Rubdown are just weeks away from the release of their first album Random Spirit Lover.

Forever in our hearts: Luciano Pavarotti
This is truly a sad day for the opera world and music lovers alike, as the “king of the opera” Luciano Pavarotti just recently past away, in his home located in Modena, Italy, due to pancreatic cancer complications. Regarded by many as the most important tenor of our times, the 71-year old singer achieved global fame and success during the mid ’60s and ’70s , becoming a global ambassador for the opera and Italy.

Black Lips: ‘Good Bad Not Evil’
Artist name: Black Lips Album name: Good Bad Not Evil Label: Vice Records Gender: Alternative Rock/Garage Rock Release date: September 11, 2007 ZMErating: 7.5/10 Website: http://www.myspace.com/theblacklipsThe term of garage rock revival seems to get tossed around a bit easily, few bands really follow up to their label so to speak, but a band of witty post-teenagers that jams in dark basements to Stooges songs, such as early [tag]Black Lips[/tag], might deserve their tag line. Although…
New Biffy Clyro video: ‘Machines’
[tag]Biffy Clyro[/tag] has always been notorious for their energetic and raw videos, like Semi-mental or Saturday Superhouse, but this time its a bit different. Their latest video “Machines”, the fifth single of Puzzle, is a lot slower then Biffy has accustomed us to, very static and emotional, packed with Simon Neil’s shivering and beautiful voice and acoustics. The powerful lyrics ( i would dig a thousand holes, to lay next to you) are meant to…

New Bruce Springsteen video: ‘Radio Nowhere’
Some time ago we uploaded [tag]Bruce Springsteen[/tag] latest single “Radio Nowhere” and put it out for download, now the video for this awesome track has surfaced. It’s great we can get a glimpse of the E Street band in videos for a change, I honestly feel their terribly underrated. The video itself is made out of bits of big city life society (traffic, crowds, tall buildings etc) and Boss featuring E Street jamming.
Klaxons win Mercury Prize
Indie rave trio [tag]Klaxons[/tag] have managed to win the British annual 2007 Mercury Prize, for their revolutionary debut album “Myths of the Near Future”. The competition was far from easy, with such contenders as: [tag]Amy Winehouse[/tag]’s “Back to Black”, [tag]Arctic Monkeys[/tag]’s “Favourite Worst Nightmare”, [tag]Dizzee Rascal[/tag]’s “Maths + English” and loads of other great brit bands. The award came as a complete surprise for the Klaxons, as they were ravished by emotions, bursting in tears,…
Mew Menomena video: ‘Evil Bee’
Portland based experimental band Menomena are back with a new video about “the bird and the bees”, a tale of love or circle of life documentary, you’ll be the judge of that. The “Evil Bee” video has succeeded in diverging my focus entirely on the video, barely noticing the song at all, and that’s a big thumbs up for director Stefan Nadelman. Glasses of redish liquid are carries across assembly lines, until finally they reach…
