The Horror !!! 2008-10-07 03:19:00 Well I knew it was coming... the rumors where circling for a year, but I never thought it would be this bad.The new Chris Cornell album "Scream" produced by Timbaland seems to be near release, with tour dates published (they are even performing together !!! I wonder if Chris will be dancing on stage like Justin Timberlake) and some first songs out.The songs sound much worse than I ever imagined...
Interpol, Editors, The National - How can you tell them apart? 2008-10-05 14:31:00 There are a lot of bands which sound alike, first time I heard Coldplay I thought it was a new Radiohead song for a second (now they sound like U2).But with the three bands above it was really hard...I first heard Interpol
with their excellent "Turn on the bright lights" album.Interpol - Obstacle 1Interpol - PDAA year or two later I heard this song and I was sure it was a new Interpol song (and a Read more:Editors

show and just rips on them and their fans, hats down though for Bon Jovi for playing along with this.

Not much you can do about that, right?Well Pearl

Berlin - Live 2008-11-06 10:33:00 Lou Reed has released a CD and DVD of his 2006 5 nights straight Berlin
concerts, where he plays the entire album (plus some extras, like Sweet Jane).I'm more excited about seeing the concert DVD which is directed by Julian Schnabel who's last film was The Diving Bell and The Butterfly. So I hope the film will have his "artsy" added value.You can order the CD from Matador Record for a good deal +
New James Bond Theme Song 2008-10-24 07:35:00 The new 007 movie "Quantum of Solace" is coming out soon, and the theme song is already out.Another Way To Die by Jack White and Alicia Keys sounds like a typical Jack White production. vocals, drums and guitar sound just like a White Stripes song.Its hard to imagine it fitting in the opening titles of a James
Bond movie... Read more:Theme
The Director's Cut - Fantomas 2008-10-20 16:18:00 Fantomas is one of Mike Patton's many bands since the legendary Faith No More (Tomahawk, Mr. Bungle, Peeping Tom... the guy is busy, he also did the voices for the creatures in the Will Smith film “I Am Legend” !!!).Together with guys from Slayer, The Melvins and Mr. Bungle the potential for insane metal is pretty big...In The Director

Eddie Vedder & Corin Tucker do John Doe 2008-11-14 10:15:00 Eddie Vedder & Corin Tucker
(of Sleater-Kinney) have collaborated covering John Due's "the Golden State". The previous time these two collaborated was on "Hard Sun" from Vedder's "Into the Wild" album which left me wanting more. The collaboration of Ed's voice with a female voice (especially Corin Tucker's sweet voice) is just great and you can't find that listening to Pearl Jam.The collaborat Read more:Eddie

Fireman - Paul McCartney 2009-01-03 10:01:00 Nothing Too Much Just Out Of Sight Wow, that's Paul McCarthney not the Black Keys! proving he can still rock in the new Fireman
album Electric Arguments.The Fireman is actually McCarthney produced by Youth, and it is getting pretty good reviews.From listening to the whole album and not being so big on McCarthney I was a bit surprised with some of the songs especially with the rock'n'roll opening a Read more:McCartney

Punk Attack 2008-12-27 08:16:00 Lately I got familiar with two great punk acts that just blew me away - Marnie Stern (especially) and Los Campesinos! (the exclamation mark is part of the name).I'll start with Marnie Stern, wow I was just amazed when first listening to her latest This Is It And I Am It... this is just crazy hyper fast punk and I expected the usual pop-punk you hear today. The sound is somewhere between the Yeah Y
McCready does Hendrix 2008-12-19 01:59:00 Pearl Jam's Mike McCready has been performing with Shadow '86 as a Jimi Hendrix
tribute band for a while now.Shadow '86 was McCready's band before he joined Pearl Jam and in this round they seems to be playing just for the love of playing and having fun.They got great reviews on their live shows but I could never find a good quality video or audio of them 'til this one of "Voodoo Child".They sound
Kurt Cobain: About A Son 2008-12-10 13:26:00 About A Son is a documentary about the life of Kurt Cobain
. It's based on interviews between Cobain and journalist Michael Azerrad done for the book Come As You Are: The Story of Nirvana.The film is set of beautiful cinematography of Kurt's surroundings through out his life and voiced by the series of interviews he gave Azerrad.The result is haunting and seems like Kurt is narrating a national geo Read more:Kurt Cobain
