As you all probably know, the little spoiled princess of pop, [tag]Britney Spears[/tag] is busting her ass in the music studio, hard at work to produce the next teen sensation. Although she clearly isn’t a family icon or a bastion of virginity, her past sins will probably be erased, if she can release a smashing single. That’s a little hard i might add, as if the rest of the album sounds as terrible as the…
A week ago we had a sneak peek on [tag]Eagles[/tag]’ first single in 14 years, How Long, now it’s time for the video. Let’s say that old age might have caught up a bit with the mighty birds of pray, as frankly they don’t look very ecstatic in the video, and off it for that matter, for ‘huge’ comeback from 15 years of new release hiatus, i would expect a little more spirit. Anyway, you…
Widow City, the sixth studio effort from behalf of brother-sister act [tag]The Fiery Furnaces[/tag], is slowly, but steadily approaching. I’ve got to tell you, the anticipation is driving me nuts, every time I find a leaked song I’m all ecstatic and stuff, it’s got to be the most awaited album of the year for me. What I love most about this new album is that it’s so much different from what I’ve listened so far,…
When he’s not snorting lines of cocaine, [tag]Pete Doherty[/tag], makes, or at least tries, to make music, good one even. His band, [tag]Babyshambles[/tag], is set to release their second album called “Shotter’s Nation”, on October 23 in the US, via ASTRALWERKS Records. It will be interesting to see if Pete’s band can at least match the success of their debut album; alas many people don’t credit them with much chances and regard this upcoming effort…
Uff! Just when i thought I’ve seen a lot of weird videos in my life, here’s [tag]Animal Collective[/tag] to correct me once more, with their latest video “Peacebone”, the first single of their upcoming 9/11 Strawberry Jam. The video features a very “lovely”, if you could say so, couple of err… freaks, aliens or whatever, engaging in day to day girlfriend/boyfriend activities: picnics near the countryside, a little go through the Merry-Go-Round and of course…
[tag]Josh Ritter[/tag] is the type of artist, as opposed to today’s mainstream stars, who doesn’t sit in long hours studio sessions, just to let the computers do his work. He likes to walk in a studio and just start recording whatever comes to his mind, singing with his heart and mind; the end result can be seen in his latest album, The Historical Conquests Of Josh Ritter, a very raw and passionate release. Did I…
“I’m Not There” is a the on screen biography of one of todays biggest, living rock legends, [tag]Bob Dylan[/tag]. What’s makes this different from all the other biopics, is the fact that the character of Bob Dylan will be played by 6 different actors, all for different periods of his life. So Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Marcus Carl Franklin, Richard Gere, Heath Ledger, and Ben Whishaw will each play Dylan, a brilliant move or just…
After the explicit Moneymaker video, it’s time for [tag]Rilo Kiley[/tag]’s next single, Silver Lining, to get a video. This time the indie quartet turned to Autumn de Wilde, a very talented photographer turned video director, with whom singer Jenny Lewis has worked before on her solo album photo cover. The video’s plot is a wedding ceremony, in which Jenny’s is the bride and Blake Sennett, lead guitarist, the groom. In the begging of the video…
