The end of labor is to gain leisure. Aristotle I guess there isn’t a working class man that isn’t aware of the importance of today, I mean you get the whole day off, right ? Labor Day is a federal American holiday that is ironically celebrated in the spirit of labor, by rest and a whole lot of barbeques. I live outside of the US, but as I’m not part of the work force, I’ll…

The band have already played a…

I’ve been a really huge fan of Pinback, ever since their early days, when they weren’t big or anything. Time has passed and they’ve steadily grown in popularity and beards, but luckily Pinback is not one of those bands that sells out or turn overly commercial, their still playing their thing after almost 10 years now. “From Nothing To Nowhere” is their first video of their upcoming forth album Autumn Of The Seraphs, due 9/11;…

Many thanks to GorillavsBear for posting this amazing cover, of Kate Bush’s smashing 1985 single “Running Up That Hill”, by Seattle based noise rock band Chromatics. Running Up That Hill was always a ’80s favorite of mine, and out of all the covers that have surfaced around the years I definitely think this is the best. Ruth Radelet vocals are excellently suited to the sound of distorted harmonicas and guitar chops, the end result is…
When you think about how complex and mind blowing [tag]Interpol[/tag]’s video for Heinrich Maneuver was, you can’t help wondering why this latest video for Mammoth is so strikingly simple.
