Looking to Jetset? An abridged guide to holiday trips on the east coast First off, I would like to say "Thanks" to Benji for bringing me aboard. I hope to offer something different, yet complementary; something fun, yet informative. I will strive to become the Simon to his Garfunkel, the Cher to his Sonny, the Big Boi to his Andre. While I don't want to become the Jessica to his Nick, it is ultimately in the hands of the readers; the faithful proletariat who [...]
Strokes guitarist Albert Hammond Jr. , who I posted about two weeks ago (for his new video), has announced a lengthy tour for early next year opening for Incubus . Yes, Incubus. He's from The Strokes so we'll give him the benefit of the doubt. His album Yours To Keep is currently out in Europe and Australia, will be hitting Japan soon, but still has yet to set a US release date. We'll keep you updated, but until then, download two of the songs off [...]
The comparisons are inevitable. Unavoidable even. As much as you may not want to mention the 'S' band, tonight Albert Hammond Jr sounds like The Strokes . There, I said it. But the strange thing is, the shadow of his other band doesn't hang that heavy. Sure the show is sold out, but there's a distinct lack of hangers on. There's no air of expectation. No dangerous over hype. The crowd isn't full of scenesters wanting to be seen. People seem to be here out of curiosity [...]
(No Ratings Yet) Loading ... I treni espresso sono la maledizione del mio tempo. Un tempo che si dilata incessantemente secondo dopo secondo e si espande come un gas nocivo. La cosa che più mi incuriosisce dei treni a lunga percorrenza è la loro capacità di far puzzare tutti quelli che ci sono dentro allo stesso modo. Niente discriminazioni di sorta. Puzzano tutti: ricchi, poveracci, donne, bambini, vecchi e animali. Eccolo il vero [...]
Usually my Sundays start like this, around noon to 1pm I open my eyes and roll over for the remote. I flip through the NFL games and pick my favorite and watch till half time and then I actually get out of bed. The Cowboy game yesterday against the Colts almost made up for a string of disappointments this season by my favorite NFL team the Dallas Cowboys. The win over the undefeated, number one team in the league, Indianapolis Colts was something that all Dallas Cowboys fans needed and deserved. I've liked Romo but I hadn't believed in him [...]
In the seas of indie music out there, it's hard to follow through all the new artists and songs hyped up each day and find the one you truly like. So when you find one, you stick with it and treasure it, you might try to tell everyone you know about it or include it in every single one of your playlists. That's how this new feature was born. To honor the great great indie songs I discovered and gave them proper ravings, because they deserved their own posts. Since this week's indie-heavy themed, I'll be spreading out a bunch [...]
How is it that even in death Ric Oh-KASS-eck's favorite Stroke looks better than we ever could in a skinny suit? Here's the first vid from Albert Hammond, Jr.'s coming out record Yours To Keep. Ways in which it resembles...
remember last week when i decided to try to start deleting albums from 2006 that i don't listen to ? no? well, anyway, before deleting them, i decided to really listen to them. much to my own dismay, i am here to report that i have really bad taste in music, and i am deleting the album through the windowpane by guillemots . if you check around, you may find that this album is alternately described as brillliant and/or beautiful. i don't think it is bad, i just don't like it. (there's a [...]
Voxtrot, "Your Biggest Fan" - My number one complaint about modern relations between the sexes - or, more accurately, about modern relations between girls and me, since I couldn't give less of a shit about the belt-level doin's and transpirin's of other dudes - is that it always falls on my shoulders to make the first move. I know that sounds egotistical, but I honestly don't say that out of any egotisical conviction that society ought to rework itself for me; for the lack of a gentler way of putting it (not that I'd necessarily be interested in one [...]
I'm nowhere near the first to blog about Albert Hammond Jr , nor will I be the last. That's what happens when you're a member of a larger-than-life hipster band like the Strokes. My friend Alex is a huge fan of the Strokes so I'm pretty sure he'll take issue with me when I say that I prefer Mr. Hammond Jr here. The Strokes may have had higher highs (back in the day), but this album is solid. It's immediately familiar, a little more approachable, like Is This It -era Strokes with more pleasant vocals. Do with that [...]
On peut faire de la bonne musique et mériter sa place dans les "worst of" de Flickr. Albert Hammond Jr. - In Transit (MP3) Albert Hammond Jr. - Bright Young Thing (MP3) Il y a des actes d'achat (ou de téléchargement) qu'on fait un peu comme ça au hasard, sans trop y croire. L'arrivée du premier album d'Albert Hammond Jr. dans ma discothèque (ou mon iTunes) se classait assez largement dans cette catégorie. Je m'attendais à une resucée molle des Strokes, une sortie de [...]
Okay, this could be the most entertaining site I've come across in a while. Gizoogle.com will translate any website into "jive" (and yes, the silver rims spin on the real page header). So for example, my recent post on Tom Luce becomes the following: "...A fizzy gutted tha apartment of lead wannabe gangsta Tom Luce (izzy is truly one of tha funky assst & sincerest guys you'll meet) cuz I put gangsta rap on tha map. They is appear'n at a [...]
~ ALBERT HAMMOND JR. ~ The Strokes'un mütevazi afrosu, adından da anlaşılacağı gibi Albert Hammond'ın oğlu, 'yeni rock hareketi' ni ateşleyen minimalist rifflerin mimarı, .... o artık SOLO! Hayır, The Strokes dağılmıyor* ; Albert'da aynı Thom gibi, nefes alma ihtiyacı içinde kendini stüdyoya atmış; yanına bas gitarist Josh Lattanzi ve baterist Matt Romano'yu da alarak. New York'ta kaydettiği
"Melhor banda do mundo ao vivo" Ontem o Muse fechou o segundo dia do Reading Festival . Confiram alguns videos dessa apresentação e baixem o Bootleg. É incrÃvel como Matt transforma as canções da banda, cada show um riff diferente e um novo modo de tocar... "Starlight" por exemplo, vem sendo tocado um tom abaixo da versão original; "Knights Of Cydonia" ganhou um solo no final; Antes [...]
Albert Hammond Jr, el guitarrista de los Strokes que domina la moda a su antojo, sacará el 9 de Octubre un disco como solista titulado "Yours to Keep" y las pocas canciones que se pueden escuchar en su myspace son de buen nivel, muy melódicas y un poco distinto al sonido tan peculiar que tiene con los Strokes. En este album habrá colaboraciones de importantes artistas en el mundo del rock alternativo como Sean Lennon, Judy Porter de Fountains Of Wayne , Ben Kweller, Mikki James, Sammy James Jr. o el manager de su banda, [...]
It's been a tough year for televised marriages, let me tell you. While the general divorce rate for American marriages is standing pat at around 50%, MTV has seen every single one of its celebrity couples call it quits in just the past few months. Back in July, while the nation was still reeling from the end of Nick and Jessica's Newlywed fairytale, Carmen Electra and Dave Navarro announced that they, too, would be parting ways long before death had any say in the matter. And now we can add Travis and Shanna Barker's sacred union to [...]
As if making records with The Strokes and having to tell Drew that Fab isn't in when she calls during rehearsal isn't enough, now Albert Hammond Jr is releasing a solo album as well . Curiously, it also features Sammy James Junior and Sean Lennon, which makes us wonder if it's going to be about living your life under your father's name. It's called Yours To Keep, although they may add "or to pass on to the next generation" before they start to sell them on October 9th. music [...]
