Artist: 30 seconds to mars

"I like a cinematic quality to music", claims frontman Jared Leto on the album commentary to 'Love Lust Faith + Dreams'. It's a sentiment at the heart of their fourth album, a hollow heart that's all style over substance. From the title alone (that immediately lays out the subject matter) it's clear that they're aiming towards the grandiose, the epic - but instead we're left with the bombastic and the overblown. Opening track Birth hits a rough start. It's clearly meant to provide a stirring fanfare to introduce the album, but the synthesised [...]

There are a few things you can learn from going to BFD, Live 1052s annual concert at Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View. Among these are that people will wait in huge lines to spin any prize wheel, it can take over an hour to go from the highway exit to a parking space, and there's [...] The post Show Review: Live 1052s BFD at Shoreline Amphitheater, 5/19/2013 appeared first on Spinning Platters .

No, no, you read that correctly. Our Jared is giving one super-lucky 30STD fan the chance to sleep in his bed, in his house via the 30 Seconds To Mars website . WOW. It's obviously a great and very personal prize to win if you're a fan of 30 Seconds To Mars but we cannot include ourselves in that hallowed category. To us, it's creepy. All one has to do is pre-order their new album, LOVE LUST FAITH + DREAMS . They'll even fly you over to wherever it is that he [...]

Of Monsters and Men I'm getting this post in JUST under the wire because we mopped the kitchen floor last night and my laptop was still in the kitchen. I could have gotten it, but, c'mon guys, it was late. And I have like 45 minutes to spare. In fact, if I hadn't told you, you never would have known how close to the airtime I'm writing this!....So just act like I didn't say anything.... Oh and we have a new Grammy Alternative Album of the Month to coincide with the new [...]

Watch the brand new lyric video for " CONQUISTADOR " now! "We are very excited to release CONQUISTADOR to the world and show the flip side of the coin to UP IN THE AIR . It is the dark wild child of LOVE LUST FAITH + DREAMS . Unbridled, and full of anarchistic madness, this song is crushed full of passion + energy. It will surely become an important part of our upcoming shows." -Jared Leto [...]

Everybody's favourite Swedish balladeer and apparently one-off wedding singer, Jens Lekman , has put out a new song for New York publication  Esopus Magazine   (I'm looking to do the same for my wedding so Jens , if you're reading this: stay alive and keep making music until I find someone). The song is part of a compilation, " Esopus 19: Customer Service ", by the magazine revolving around, you guessed it! The customer service experience. It's due to come out with the magazine's Esopus 19 issue. What's that? You guessed [...]

Muse That's right! Debut month continues as we welcome another song to the big show. Hehe. That's what they call the Major Leagues in baseball. I'm implying that my countdown podcast is as attractive to these bands as making it to the major leagues. I'm truly a humble, handsome man.

I 30 Seconds to Mars hanno fatto le cose in grande per il lancio del nuovo disco: dopo il nullaosta della NASA per spedire il singolo Up in the air nello spazio a bordo di un lanciatore a razzo Falcon 9 dotato di una capsula orbitale da trasporto Dragon, il 1 Marzo, e farlo ascoltare in anteprima all’astronauta Tom Marshburn; poi la scelta di girare un piccolo film per promuovere ulteriormente il singolo, uscito il 19 marzo, che vede alla regia proprio Jared Leto , frontman della band, [...]
