Cyndi Lauper is one hell of a singer ! If you haven’t listened to her, you really should, it’s exactly the 80s kind of oldies but goldies, and with a tremendous voice. But she’s also one hell of entertainer, and after all these years, she still knows how to have fun. Things were getting pretty ugly in the airport in Buenos Aires, flights were delayed and canceled, and everybody was on the edge of their…
In preparation for the band’s upcoming, yet untitled, forth studio release the Arctic Monkeys recently unveiled online the first single off of it, called “Brick by Brick”, which now has a music video penned to it as well. The sunny waves, lazy afternoons and palm trees do well to hint to the fact that recordings took place in LA, at Hollywood’s Sunset Sound Studios by longtime collaborator James Ford. Further details regarding the follow-up to…
The Oklahomans are no strangers to all sort of oddball endeavors, be it their ridiculous on stage antiques or various other promotion techniques; the latest – an upcoming commercially available gummy bear skull with an equally delicious gummy bear brain in it, ultimately inside of which you’ll find a flash USB stick with three new Flaming Lips songs. Oooook… “We found this guy in Raleigh, North Carolina, who makes all these gummy bear things– even…
So, just another morning, browsing the internet and all, when I came across this picture. I’m gonna chalk it up to no comment, but seriously, do you remember Nirvana ?
This Saturday the NYC garage re-revivalists returned to SNL as part of their third live appearance on the show, where they played two tracks promoting the new upcoming album, “Angles”. The band first kicked off their two song performance with the record’s lead single “Under Cover of Darkness”, a mediocre performance for an otherwise equally mediocre song, before continuing with a The Police cover of “Life is Simple in the Moonlight”, where they actually took…
Although Nathan Williams can be safely considered a dickhead, I’ll have to grant it to the man that he’s indeed very talented, but what I really like about him is that, like most stoners, he has a well developed sense of humor and doesn’t shy away from self-deprecation. It’s enough to follow his twitter stream to get a glimpse of what I’m talking about, but besides dicking around on the web, it seem Wavves is…
This is clearly the most hilarious thing I’ve heard all day long on the interwebs! It seems the city of Austin, TX is looking to name its Solid Waste Services Department and as proof of democratic consideration, officials are turning to its fair citizens for the name through way of a web poll. The officials claim they want want a name that can ‘better reflect all of the services the Department provides,’ including ‘rubbish collection,…
I mentioned a few days ago that LCD Soundsystem will be performing its last gig ever on April 2nd in a scheduled epic finale at NYC’s Madison Square Garden. Today I’ve been given to find out that all the tickets have been sold in a whooping HOUR! A true testament of the fans’ love for the band. With those waiting in lines for hours in the freezing rain, forced to go home empty handed, I…
I think I’ve probably stumbled upon YouTube’s greatest gem yet, where today the entire hour and a half splendid Arcade Fire concert from last year’s Madison Square Garden performance (8/5/2010) was released. The full length re-broadcast is part of the UNSTAGED series and was directed by legendary film director Terry Gillam. I recommend you make yourself comfortable, joined by someone dear to you, and watch this right away. Yes, it’s very good!
Last year, a unique musical opera based on Charles Darwin and his book “On The Origin Of Species” was performed, and subsequently released, by The Knife, Mt. Sims and Planningtorock, which from my understanding has been highly praised well beyond the Scandinavian scene. I haven’t sample the opera and before today I’ve been totally ignorant of Planningtorock, Janine Rostron musical alter-ego, a highly atmospheric and eery outfit – in a word a faithful, still genuine,…
