Watch: Placebo – “For What It’s Worth”
For what it’s worth, a battle for the sun might not seem like the most appealing of activities – I mean is a big, uninhabitable ball of gas really all that much getting excited for? But for Placebo, it’s all the legendary outfit is thinking about. After all, just check out the recently revealed music [...]
Pirates pay for music; EMI scoffs
If there’s any indication on how the music world works, the best way to describe it is simply a crapshoot. Everything and nothing is predicted at once, but no one really knows what happens. This is the case with a brand new study in regards to the paradox of illegally downloaded P2P music verses credible [...]
Street Sweeper Social Club readies Street Sweeper Social Club
Despite the name change, Street Sweeper Social Club is still alive and well. In fact, it just so turns out that when the brand new musical endeavor of Tom Morello and Boots Riley on vocals hits the road next month with Jane’s Addiction and Nine Inch Nails next month, they’ll be tour in support of [...]
Album Review: Doves – Kingdom of Rust
It’s been a long time since Manchester, UK’s Doves hit the airwaves with the catchy and light spirited “Catch the Sun” (off of 2000′s Lost Souls). It seems however that with each record since, they’ve been attempting to recreate that success, chasing the tail-end of their break out single. In fact, this mad odyssey left [...]
Jets preps Shaka Rock
This time last week, we learned that Jet is not only alive, but actually still making music, as evident by a new single called “K.I.A.” Today, Jet has offered a bit more details of its future plans, specifically regarding the release of third full-length effort. On August 25th, the Australian quartet will release Shaka Rock, [...]
Adam Goldberg finally ready to unveil LANDy
Back in February, we told you of actor Adam Goldberg’s new musical venture, LANDy. Well, it took a little longer than expected, along with a name change (it was originally intended to be called Everything Must Go), but come June 23rd, Goldberg will unveil LANDy’s debut effort, Eros And Omissions. As previously mentioned, Goldberg wrote [...]
And now there are three…Virgin Festival Toronto is a go as well!
Update: The MySpace listing has since been removed, but rest assured, August 29th and 30th are the dates. As our readers wisely pointed out, Burls Creek Park will mark a new location for Virgin Festival Toronto and given its distance from the city (ie., north of Toronto), it may be renamed to Virgin Festival Ontario. [...]
Bonnaroo ’09…strikes again!
Hot on the heels of news that David Byrne has been tapped to curate his very own stage, Bonnaroo has made yet another major announcement, this in the form of several more additions to this year’s lineup. Included in this batch are Phoenix, Tobacco, Dear and the Headlights, Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band, Joe Pug, [...]
It’s official! Corgan’s lost it!
“Hey, Pumpkin-heads, you know that new sound you lookin’ for? Well, listen to this…” There’s a part of me that wants to just sit back, drink a tall cool one, and enjoy reading how the remaining Smashing Pumpkins fans can explain or justify this video, but instead, I’ll try and forget this ever happened — [...]
Audio Archaeology: Musique D’Express (1990)
Throughout the ’80s and early ’90s, Express clothing stores were the number one source for fashion-savvy American women to indulge in sleek, Parisian style. Conceived as a younger, hipper version of its parent company, The Limited, Express channeled the streamline fluidity and comfort of European fashion. Even their clothing displays were chic. One of my earliest memories in a shopping mall is of [...]
