Fire up your media player of choice and share the first five random track of your shuffle in the comments. The Five : Foo [...]
Con qualche ora di ritardo ecco che arriva anche questa settimana la classifica degli album più venduti al mondo compilata da Mediatraffic . Questa settimana si abbassa a due il numero di nuove entrate, due nuove entrate di cui abbiamo già parlato più volte nell'ultimo periodo. Ma andiamo con ordine: i Foo Fighters scendono alla 10 mentre continua la marcia trionfale di Taylor Swift (le "nuove edizioni" fanno sempre miracoli) alla 9 con il suo "Fearless" che ha quasi venduto 5 milioni e mezzo di copie. "The E.N.D." dei Black Eyed [...]
Secrets, secrets are no fun. Secrets, secrets hurt someone. Not every secret is bad though, because sometimes they're more welcome surprises than hurtful disappointments. So when word of a supergroup called Them Crooked Vultures emerged this fall, I approached the situation with every bit of wariness you might expect. That being I heard they were playing their first ever secret show in Chicago immediately after Lollapalooza, and I scrambled to purchase tickets. The trio of Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age), Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters/Nirvana) and John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin) was a rock and roll grouping seemingly made [...]
Filed under: News Although the surviving members of Nirvana have always been tremendously loyal to each other, former bassist Krist Novoselic has taken his allegiance to a new level with this week's installment of his Seattle Weekly blog . Novoselic has proclaimed former bandmate Dave Grohl "the greatest rock musician in the world today". While it's weighty praise, Novoselic insists such accolades are well deserved. "[It] dawned on me when I was reading Sunday's New York Times ," he wrote. "Don't [...]

Eccoci all'appuntamento con la classifica settimanale degli album più venduti al mondo stilata Mediatraffic . Altre cinque nuove entrate in top10 questa settimana e due (l'inutile " Raditude " dei Weezer e il nuovo disco degli Slayer ) appena fuori dai primi dieci, alla undici e alla dodici. Alla 10 rimangono i Black Eyed Peas che questa settimana superano i 3 milioni di copie vendute del loro The E.N.D., alla 9 la soundtrack di New Moon in netto calo (probabile che risalirà appena esce il film). Sting scende [...]
The Starbucks Incident Yes, I am going to continue to bitch about Slash. I understand that Slash is not Jimi Hendrix but this might be the single biggest betrayal to my formative years since Metallica released everything they've released from Load on, and I need to mourn. So. Some lady says that the following singers are all [...]

Nirvana Live At Reading Geffen Records 02 November 2009 by Hugh Platt You know what you don't see anymore? Kids in Nirvana hoodies. When I was a teenager, they were everywhere – getting their ears pierced in that dodgy shop on the top floor of the mall, skateboarding badly up and down in the park, and hanging around [...]

No one has ever accused musicians of being too well-adjusted. There's a fine line that keeps a love song from crossing from romantic to creepy and it's a line musicians frequently cross. Sometimes the sketchball factor is intention (The Police), other times it clearly is not (The Turtles). So get ready to write some restraining orders, cause it's StalkerFest '09.Allred - Every Breath You Take

MuteMath at The Tabernacle in ATL on Friday followed by the Atlanta Falcons football game at the Georgia Dome today...it's like a welcome mat to Georgia. Busy weekend but SO much fun :) I went to the MuteMath show on Friday night after listening to the CD all week thinking, "Hey, this'll be good" but I was completely blown away; the drummer Darren King is my new hero...which leads me to this week's "AIAWW." Instead of the standard fare of new and random music, I've decided to do a collection of songs that have made me a) almost dislodge my [...]
