Pink Floyd wants its “money”
There’s many examples of legendary rock bands getting screwed by the man. Pink Floyd doesn’t want to be known as one them. According to The Guardian, the legendary outfit has filed a lawsuit against music label EMI, “claiming the private equity-backed firm has miscalculated royalty payments.” While terms of the suit haven’t been revealed, as [...]
Kevin Shields is psyched for “radical changes”…
He might not sound it on stage, but Kevin Shields is a happy man as of late. Why wouldn’t he be? After all, his band, My Bloody Valentine for the ill informed, is one of the hottest (and most requested) acts on the market today. And rather than simply hole himself away again, Shields wants [...]
Lollapalooza finally shares ’09 lineup
There’s really no good way to open the lineup announcement for Perry Farrell’s brainchild that is Lollapalooza, what with all the leaks, rumors, and war of words accompanying the recent months. In fact, to say this moment has been anticipated is perhaps the biggest understatement of the year. So, rather than crack jokes about Perry [...]

Oh, and what dates said acts will be playing at the Austin based music festival as well. Talk about a super [...]
David Byrne somehow manages to make Bonnaroo even better
How does a festival that already kicks ass, kick even more ass? By having David Byrne curate a stage! On the evening of Friday, June 12th, the Talking Heads frontman turned solo artist extraordinaire will host recent collaborators Santigold and the Dirty Projectors, along with St. Vincent, Ani DiFranco, and Katzenjammer for what will be [...]
Late Night Lobotomy (Week of 4/20)
Well, late nighters, the good news is that most acts this week are new. The bad news is that few acts jump out (to me, at least) as compelling viewing. That said, it’s always fun to be surprised by acts who exceed your expectations, so maybe I’ll be floored by someone. That said, I’m definitely down [...]
Virgin Festival Calgary also a go!
Did we honestly believe Richard Branson was going to disappoint? Hot on the heels of news that the U.S. Virgin Mobile Festival will return this year – though where is still TBD, comes a report in today’s Calgary Sun that the same can now be said about Virgin Festival Calgary… After nearly a year of [...]
Listen: Colossal Yes
Anyone up for some dry bass lines, guitars that scream louder than abused children yet become calmer than a morning rain, rolling drums that move you like a rollercoaster at high speeds thrashing you about every chance it can get or vocals that blare out like a drunk at a quite bar? (Let me catch [...]

For the next month, Babelgum.com will be streaming the film in its entirety free of charge. Of course, if you’re one for the old, aka DVDs, Bananaz is due for physical release on [...]
