Nirvana Source Yes, this is about that Nirvana band which used to feature Kurt Cobain as singer and guitarist. It seems that the band was added to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and with this occasion at the ceremony also attended the former Nirvana members, Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic and Kurt Cobain’s ex-wife Courtney Love and family. Check out below the band’s acceptance speech: Even though the band lost…
Source St. Vincent The American artist decided to share another track from her upcoming self-titled album. Digital Witness is the fifth song from the album that is set to be released on February 25 this year. Talking about her upcoming album, which was produced by John Congleton and features artists like Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings’s drummer Homer Steinweiss and Midlake’s drummer McKenzie Smith, the artist describes it as: A party record you could play at…
Looking back at 2009, with only a few couple of weeks left in the year, I can now safely say it was a great year for music, and one of the first albums to come to mind justifying just this would be St. Vincent’s “Actor.” It’s serene and crazy, soft and loud, and just about everything in between, allowing for an eclectic experience that should suit almost anyone with an open mind. All of these…
We’ve raved a lot over what an awesome compilation the soundtrack for the upcoming teen-vampire-in-love New Moon flick will make. Today, however, we can finally sample the O.S.T. and settle once and far all if the hype is justified or not. The soundtrack itself is yet to have been released, but, like it usually happens, it got leaked all over the internet recently and Youtube is packed with streams. I’ve added bellow some streams that…
It seems like my bitching was heard or something (start a blog too, people. Who knows who might hear your whining and do something about it. Just kidding – don’t mind me). Either way, a few months ago I was feeling a bit dishearten about the straightforward approach St. Vincent received for her video of Actor Out Of Work, but in this latest music video for the cascading “Marrow” it’s all the other way around….
Check out this incredibly chill acoustic set by Annie Clark (St. Vincent) in which she plays “Actor Out of Work” and “The Strangers” for the fine folks down at Grandcrew.com. It’s just Annie (and the dude with the camera), her guitar, a pair of sun glasses, clean air and beautifully warm ultraviolets. Lounge!
On 09/09/09 the remastered catalog of the Fab’ Four will finally see the light of day after 22 years of analog sole existence. Abey Road engineers have been working for the last four years, combining the latest cutting edge technology with vintage equipment, to preserve “the authenticity and integrity of the original analogue recordings” and ensure “the highest fidelity the catalog has seen since its original release.” It will probably be a golden day for…
People, you can’t possibly miss this! Two of my favorite indie artists, Annie Clark, more known after her stage moniker St. Vincent, and the mellow Andrew Bird will be touring together this summer and autumn in most of North America. Both are exquisite live performers and I can only imagine what it must feel like seeing them both play on the same stage in the same night *rants because there aren’t no European dates. Dates…
We praised a lot Annie Clark’s new album, “Actor,” in these past weeks, but who can honestly say she doesn’t deserve the hype ? Today, we’ve got a new Annie Clark track for your ear’s delight, the melancholic B-Side on the LP “Bicycle.” From the first verse you can tell it’s a deeply Annie-centered song of ravishing fines. Actor is out now, and you can order it from Amazon or iTunes. [many thanks to The…
St. Vincent is releasing her sophomore album, “Actor,” this week and, from the looks of it, it already announces itself as being one of 09’s best. One of the most prolific singer/songwriters of our time, Cat Stevens, is releasing a new album this week as well, under his muslim name Yusuf Islam, dubbed “Roadsinger.” Another really sweet release is “White Lies for Dark Times” by Ben Harper & Restless 7. Let’s not forget about the…
