Coachella ’09: What’s the deal?
With new rumors pouring in by the day and message boarders currently basking in all sorts of fun, hot air balloon-friendly colors, it certainly appears as if the lineup announcement for Coachella 2009 is quickly approaching, if not imminent. In fact, if you believe Monklish, a Coachella focused blog that has gained quite a bit [...]
Check Out: Lily goes “Straight to Hell”
If you’re a longtime reader of CoS, you’ll know we love The Clash. We also really dig Lily Allen, especially when she chooses to go brunette. So when word came late yesterday that the lovely Brit covered Mr. Strummer and Co.’s classic number, “Straight to Hell”, let’s just say, we were really intrigued. First things [...]
Album Review: Late of the Pier – Fantasy Black Channel
Nottingham, England: home to legendary corrupt sheriffs and one of the biggest metal festivals in the world. Not exactly the kind of place an indie quartet like Late of the Pier, whose total weight may not actually exceed 400 pounds, might be expected to come out of. But, ’80′s fetish and Adderall prescription intact, this [...]
Asobi Seksu to Hush the crowds…
The most important thing to know about Asobi Seksu‘s upcoming new studio album? “Hush was written while we felt destroyed,” reveals guitarist James Hanna. Adds singer Yuki Chikudate, “our last record was done under such stressful conditions, especially given the time constraints, so there was not as much room to try out everything that we [...]
Listen: The Melloncollies
Do not be fooled by the band name, this is not a Smashing Pumpkins clone. The Melloncollies, hailing from New York City, bring to us a blend of Soul Asylum’s early days and Jakob Dylan vocals. With indie flavor and ’90s alternative emotional strains, the band’s northern exposure tour could do us all some good. [...]
Springsteen & Co. headlining Pinkpop; tour announcement imminent
12:00 p.m. Update: Added leaked European tour dates… For weeks, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band have been rumored as possible headliners for a number of summer music festivals, including Bonnaroo and Glastonbury. While the idea seamed plausible, especially considering Springsteen’s latest studio endeavor, Working on a Dream, is due out next week, critics [...]
Bishop Allen Grrr…
You couldn’t tell based on the band’s performance at last week’s Tomorrow Never Knows, but Jonathon Rice and Christian Rudder, the two core members of New York’s Bishop Allen, are angry about something. Or at least that’s the sense one gets based on the title of the band’s forthcoming new studio album. Then again, a [...]
10,000 Lakes Festival announces initial lineup
As we’re camping on our computers, eyes glued to the screen waiting for Coachella’s lineup, it’s nice to know we might have some actual outdoor camping to attend in the future. Just this morning, the music and nature extravaganza, 10,000 Lakes Festival, announced its initial line up, and if you’re a fan of all things [...]
Watch: Coldplay goes freaky on “Life in Technicolor II”
We decided to get Coldplay‘s new music video out of the way early just so you have to digest the images you’re about to see before darkness fills the air and nightmares ensue. Directed by Dougal Wilson, the video for the English outfit’s latest single, “Life in Technicolor II”, is for a lack of better [...]
List ‘Em Carefully: The Top 10 Sleepiest Albums
Sleep. We all need it. Most of us love it to the point of overindulgence. Sometimes, however, it’s hard to fall into that perfect slumber. Throughout our long days, we become restless and stressed, but just can’t shut off immediately when the time comes. That’s why God invented the sleep timer, lullabies, ambien CR, and [...]
