Ryan Adams sick of life, but not actually retiring from music
And this is why we waited 24 hours before posting about Ryan Adam‘s supposed retirement from music. Because, well, as evident in the singer/songwriter’s recently updated blog post regarding the matter, it simply isn’t true. Per Adams himself: Of course everything i said got taken out of context. as always, i did not say i [...]
SXSW ’09 offers many more acts
By now, we’ve said enough about this year’s South by Southwest. It’s good. Really good. So good that we still haven’t even fully taken in the latest round of additions, let alone finished counting the total number of acts currently appear on on the 2009 bill. And the best part? There are still a slew [...]
Watch: Franz Ferdinand’s night with “Ulysses”
For months now, Franz Ferdinand has been teasing us with their extremely delayed third studio effort, Tonight: Franz Ferdinand. Between the album cover, track names, video game contributions, and even a video of the four-piece outfit dishing the goods on its long-awaited followup to 2005′s You Could Have It So Much Better, these Scots have [...]
Vinyls trump CDs in major comeback
It would seem that the newest competitor in music and music accessories is not the soon-to-be-extinct Zune or the MP3 itself, but vinyl records. During reissues of Capitol Records’ stockpile onto vinyl, CD sales went down while 30-cm of The Beatles’ Abbey Road and Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon skyrocketed across the board. [...]
Album Review: Blackout Beach – Skin of Evil
Carey Mercer will never write that perfect three-minute pop song. Or, maybe his sweating, bustling compositions sound like perfect three-minute pop songs to him. Perhaps, he picks up his guitar every time with the intention of writing the next “Louie, Louie”, but what comes out is something closer to “Ella Guru”. Take, for example, the [...]
Less Than Jake plans many months on the road
Less Than Jake may very well be one of the most loved musical outfits alone. They also may very well be one of the most despised. At least, that is if you go by our review of the Gainesville, Florida rockers’ latest studio album, GNV FLA, and the mixbag of rather passionate emotion it generated. [...]
We post “People Got A Lotta Nerve”, Neko Case donates $5.00!
Three things are pretty evident about Neko Case. She’s a talented musician, an incredibly caring human being, and one hell of a marketing genius. After all, just take one look at the Virginia native’s latest offering. Ahead of the March 3rd release date of her brand new studio album, Middle Cyclone, Miss Case has asked [...]
Watch: Of Montreal’s hallucinogenic “Instance”
Of Montreal has always been known for its outlandish and abstract visualizations, from album covers to stage setups, so it’s really not surprising that the group recently revealed yet another trippy new piece of art. This time around, it’s a video for the equally trippy Skeletal Lamping track “An Eluardian Instance”. Directed by Jesse Ewles [...]
Listen: Six Gun Lullaby
There’s nothing left to be said about Nashville, Tennessee’s legendary music standpoint. For eons upon American lives, this southern city has always remained a staple of not just country music, but a gate of Heaven for music lovers in general. Coming down to the small skinny of it, Tennessee’s capital put out some of music’s [...]
Fever Ray issues debut, releases video
Saving the surname “Ray” from its past atrocities (we’re looking at you, Mark McGrath), Karin Dreijer Andersson, who you might recognize from The Knife, is back with a new project. It’s called Fever Ray, and despite sounding like either a Farrelly Bros. flick or a shameless cover band of you know who, this is one [...]
