Watch: Feist gets heavy in “The Water”
Feist‘s The Reminder was one of the smash albums of 2007. From it came a slew of dancable singles you can’t not have heard and some meticulously choreographed music videos you can’t not have seen. All that being said, now for something completely different: “The Water” is Feist’s second low-key, non dancey video after last [...]
Mors Principium Est changes lineup…yet again
The Finnish death metal band better known as Mors Principium Est has had a long history of changing its lineup. So perhaps it should come as little of a surprise that the outfit has given the boot to guitarist Tom Gardiner and added Kalle Aaltonen. That being said, Mors Principium Est still plans to forge [...]
k-os takes “pay what you want” on the road
In Rainbows, say what? I’m not entirely sure what’s more shocking: that beginning April 30th, k-os will be embarking on a 10-date, “pay what you want” Canadian tour – yes, it’s In Rainbows concert style, or that the hip-hopper’s label, Universal Music Canada, signed off on the deal. Whatever the case may be, fans will [...]
“DJ Hero” in hot water
Back in March, we mentioned how DJ Hero is supposed to be Activision’s response to Guitar Hero and Rock Band. Today, it might be more accurate to say DJ Hero was supposed to be Activision’s response to Guitar Hero and Rock Band. According to Paid Content, Activision and 7 Studios, the game’s developer, are being [...]
The Field & Juan MacLean to explore past, present, and future…
Talk about covering all the bases. Beginning in late May, Swedish musician Axel Willner – known to both you and me as The Field – will be teaming up with electro counterpart Juan MacLean for what will probably be the closest thing the music world will ever see to an examination on the idea of [...]
Newport Folk Festival turns 50; celebrates with name change and Colin Meloy!
For as awesome as the Coachellas and Bonnaroos of the world are today, the Newport Folk Festival trounces all when it comes to history – if you don’t know why do a search for “Electric Dylan.” In fact, one could definitely argue that if it wasn’t for the Newport, Rhode Island festival, there would be [...]
Album Review: Micachu – Jewellery
Mica Levi is the twenty-one year old embodiment of what the quirkiest alleys of independent music has sounded like in the last twenty years or so. “DIY” is scribbled with large capital letters across the red brick walls, the lazy house cat Lucy is gazing in the shadows from the corner of the hot street [...]
Chickenfoot is actually real; readies album & tour
11 months ago, word came of Chickenfoot, a brand new supergroup featuring ex-Van Halen alumni, frontman Sammy Hagar and bassist Michael Anthony, along with guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani and Red Hot Chili Peppers’ drummer Chad Smith. 11 months later, this eclectic group has not only defied logic and managed to stay together for 11, but [...]
Slayer and Megadeth team for tour?
Slayer may be busy with its upcoming album right now and headlining duties at Mayhem Festival this summer, but come the fall, the legendary metal outfit will reportedly set its sights on a mind-blowing co-headlining tour with none other than Megadeath. Well, that is if you believe MetalUnderground.com: Two of thrash metal biggest names will [...]

It turns out those rumors are true; head on over to www.attblueroom.com and you’ll be presented with the following two choices: AT&T Music and AT&T Fan Zone. But fortunately, the end of [...]
