Although the new Concretes album In Colour is already one of the biggest disappointments of the year. We have managed to find another track that doesn't make us physically ill. The band's dull performance at CMJ last year should have been a sign. A sign of poor things to come.
Mylo - Destroy Rock n' Roll
Man Man - Demon Bag - Ace Fu
Axl is back, and all over the internet. Here are three songs we've collected for you. Why use the Guns and Roses name though? Imagine Paul calling his wings bandmates...
Radiohead released pictures from there recording studio on their blog Dead Air Space.
How many of you got it on last night? Think about it, so many people making love at one time. Even some of your parents dusted off and went at it. Here is a song to keep that lovin' feeling going through the day. Look around you, and notice who is glowing.
The Minus 5 (The Gun Album) features the McCaughey/Buck/Ramberg/Rieflin line-up, as well as two tracks recorded in Chicago with Wilco, and guest appearances by John Wesley Harding, Kelly Hogan, Morgan Fisher (Mott), Sean Nelson (Harvey Danger/Long Winters), and Colin Meloy and John Moen (Decemberists). Here are our 3 favorite songs from the record.
Remember that post where we claimed the Concretes were better than Wilco? Of course you don't, we've quietly deleted it. We've put down the crack pipe and took a listen to the new Concretes Album, In Colour. The album will be released March 21st on Astralwerks. The question is, who will buy this dud? The songs sound like cheap sappy remakes of the last record. This is the only track on the record worth keeping. Please take notice Portishead.
"Last night following the first show of their tour in New York's Bowery Ballroom, all of the band's equipment was stolen from their trailer as it sat in Greenpoint, Brooklyn overnight."
Jeff Klein is a drunken musical master. We like these types don't we? Often compared to Ryan Adams, which he hates, he reminds you of your lonely college professor. The girls sleep with him, the boys drink with him, and the parents are oblivious to the whole thing. This track we've chosen to share is a little different than what we're used to from Jeff. Sounds like something that could be on the Garden State 2 soundtrack. You be the judge.
Has Mr. Ashcroft gone off on the deep end? Probably. Pitchfork recently blasted this record for cheesy music and poor lyrics. While this is probably true, what they fail to acknowledge is this has always been true for Richard. Urban Hymns made Richard Ashcroff a star, but it did not turn him into John Lennon (which he apparently things he is). The album is enjoyable for fans of the verve that find Ashcroft interesting. How can you fault him, the man is really out there. Here is one of the better tracks on Keys to the World.
Released in 1995 on Merge, this is still one of our favorite records. Stephin Merritt's songs are as diverse as they come. Here we get swept away to a lush dreamlike world of Merritt's making. Enjoy the escape...
Miho Hatori - Was part of the duo that made up Cibo Matto. Japanese born she now resides in New York. We always strive to bring you good new bands before anyone else. Everyone in our Bushwick apartment went nuts for this song last night. Play this loud, and feel great for the rest of the day.
