Lauryn Hill lured back by jazz…
So maybe we’re not the biggest jazz experts, but upon hearing Grammy Award-winning singer, rapper, actress, and all-around kickass artist Lauryn Hill was one of a thousand musicians booked for the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival, perhaps it’s time we start devoting greater attention to the genre. First, a refresher: Born in New Jersey, Hill is [...]
Rock the Bells plans summer full of Nas, Big Boi, The Roots, and more!
This summer, Rock the Bells will return for its fifth incarnation, and what better way to celebrate than with a bill that features 1/2 of Outkast, T.V.’s favorite house band, and America’s favorite Irish hip-hoppers… Yes, Big Boi, The Roots, and House of Pain (featuring all three original members and La Coka Nostra) are among [...]
Festivals in Brief: Northside, 80/35, All Good, 10KLF, and more!
A new day, a new slew of festival news. Let’s round up all the important info in today’s edition of CoS’ Festivals in Brief: Coachella Music Festival: Could Coachella be up to something? We won’t speculate other than say rumors of a big last second addition have been a float over the last week. Then, [...]
List ‘Em Carefully: Top Ten Songs by Ex-Beatles
When my editor asked me to list the top ten songs recorded by John, Paul, George, and Ringo following their world-changing stint as the Beatles, I knew I was in for a daunting task. Actually, it proved to be downright overwhelming. The Fab Four have put out over 70 albums of material and recorded over [...]
Stream: Battlefields’ Thresholds Of Imbalance
With Metallica taking supreme legacy and acceptance to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, heavy metal this week has certainly made public headlines in the music world. While the glitz and glamor shines bright for this early edition of April, the underground isn’t looking too shabby either. A little while ago, we introduced you [...]
Album Review: Static-X – Cult of Static
For years, fans have watched Static-X trudge past the classic Wisconsin Death Trip up through various soundtrack spots, from Queen Of The Damned to Punisher: War Zone — yet after all this time, their style has hardly changed. However, to be fair, this mainstream industrial behemoth has maintained some credit, adding more textures to their [...]
Watch: Silversun Pickups hit the “Panic Switch”
It’s only a week or so away, but the Silversun Pickups are just about ready to unleash its second full-length effort, Swoon. Alternative enthusiasts craving for nail biting riffs and a slew of angsty verses should be watering at the mouths by now. After all, nearly three years have passed since “Lazy Eye”, and its [...]
Manu Chao pisses off Mexico
Manu Chao is no stranger to political commentary. In fact, it’d probably be safe to say the French born musician is the Latin American equivalent to Springsteen, with a little Joe Strummer mixed in. So, it should come as little surprise that Manu is again in the news for comments recently made about the Mexican [...]
The Masters get Remastered: Beatles catalog gets refurbished
Lots is going on in the world of The Beatles these days. For one, the surviving members recently reunited and will probably do so again in a couple weeks. George Harrison is getting a posthumous star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Then, there’s that Beatles based video game set to hit record shelves in [...]
Eminem returns with new single…unfortunately
Now that Eminem has finally pinned down a release date for his Relapse, the rapper is in full-fledged publicity mode, which was kicked off today with the release of the album’s first single, “We Made You”, and subsequent music video. So, the result? Let’s just say it’d probably be best to pretend what you’re about [...]
