When M.I.A. held up her middle finger during Madonna's Super Bowl Halftime Show last weekend, she dominated blog chatter for a few days and incited a few minor cable-TV debates. She could have to pay a fine, and she's definitely changed the narrative around her next album. But she hasn't gotten anywhere near the pantheon of music's most controversial live-TV performances; she didn't even hold that finger proudly up to the camera. If she really wanted to start riots, she should've taken note of the moments on our list below. Add your own picks to the comments section. [...]

La cuenta oficial de Pulp, @pulp2011, fue la encargada de anunciar la primera visita de la banda a la Ciudad de México. La cita es en el Palacio de los Deportes el 23 de abril.

@pulp2011 acaba de anunciar que su primera visita a la Ciudad de México es oficial. La cita es en el Palacio de los Deportes el 23 de abril.

En el marco de los NME Awards , que se llevarán a cabo el próximo 29 de febrero en el O2 Academy Brixton de Londres, la banda liderada por Jarvis Cocker será reconocida con el premio Teenage Cancer Trust Outstanding Contribution To Music . "Creo que siempre supimos que resaltamos, pero ser llamados 'sobresalientes' es genial. Gracias" , comentó Pulp a a prensa al conocer la noticia. Asimismo, el grupo brindará un [...]
Kraftwerk recently announced a rare North American show, which will take place at the Ultra Music Festival in ... Read the full article at http://www.prefixmag.com/news/ listen-jarvis-cocker-and-facto ry-floor-pay-tribute/61481/

"You moved in slow degrees/A sudden memory/You're a Leonard Cohen song" - Better Than Ezra, "Under You" "But I was caught, like a fleeting thought / Stuck inside Leonard Cohen's mind" - Mercury Rev, "A Drop In Time" "Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld / So I can sigh eternally" - Nirvana, "Pennyroyal Tea" It's almost unbelievable now to think that we almost never heard Leonard Cohen , the singer. A well-regarded poet from the late [...]
Brit-pop legends Pulp are one of many phenomenal acts headlining Coachella. It was just revealed they're padding their stateside stay with dates on both coasts. Keep your eyes peeled for ticket information. The six-piece "will be playing songs from all periods of their career." They haven't released an album since 20012s We Love Life, but signs

A lot of bands are reuniting but Pulp 's website is one that's done it with creativity than I've seen in some time. Check it out... Pulp People . The announcement that Pulp is one of the reunited bands playing Coachella this year sent a lot of music fans into a joyous frenzy, so the additional US shows released-one on each coast thus far, with the NYC date preceding Coachella-should send them right into the stratosphere. No announcement of on-sale yet though, but it is interesting the date isn't even on [...]

The grand master of bedroom angst was in London Wednesday night to preview Old Ideas , his first album in seven years, to a group of uncommonly awestruck journalists and industry. From the reverential way Leonard Cohen was greeted it seemed the evening would be as celebratory as revealing. At 77, he shows scant signs of slowing down. Maybe this is because Cohen could scarcely decelerate much more, such is his languid pace and ready panache. "The lazy bastard living in a suit," to quote opening track "Going Home", appeared dapper [...]

Metronomy, Breakbot, Charlotte Gainsbourg e The 2 Bears na primeira coletânea do ano do label francês Because Music Com sede em Paris e em Londres, atualmente o Because Music é o selo independente que possui um dos castings mais bacanas da cena alternativa. Iniciando 2012 com chave de ouro, o label convocou um time de peso e decidiu [...]

Nic Shonfeld Alongside labelmates and countrymen The Twilight Sad and Frightened Rabbit , Glasgow-via-Edinburgh's We Were Promised Jetpacks should have formed a 21st century dream team of new Scottish acts, dispensing their peoples' distinctive brand of angst through their respective brands of rock. And yet while those other two won and maintain places in my heart, Jetpacks' 2009 debut These Four Walls did't quite win me over. The specifics of why aren't entirely clear, but I suspect that it was just a little too [...]

Todos los años la NME hace listas, muchas listas, de discos, canciones, videos y yo amo las listas, a veces peleo con sus resultados, pero me encanta ver las cosas que no me gustan abajo, muy abajo. En fin, esta es la oportunidad de los personajes más cool de la música. Aunque no tengo idea de quién es la ganadora de este año, los demás me parecen muy bien situados. En esta oportunidad Noel le ganó a su hermano Liam. Les dejo los nombres más destacados, la lista completa acá . [...]

El popular frontman de Pulp , Jarvis Cocker , acusó a los tabloides de contribuir con la muerte de la cantante inglesa Amy Winehouse . En este sentido, Cocker opinó que la constante atención que recibió la vocalista por parte de la prensa, la terminó forzando a volcarse hacia la bebida y las drogas, tal como su propia experiencia allá por los años de su popularidad, en la era dorada del britpop .

Shervin Lainez You know how the internet basically shuts down when the US goes on holiday? Well it does, and that's why today's post is a bit slight to say the least. And we'll kick it off with a couple of sessions to listen to, watch and download from The Antlers to mark the release this week of their (together) EP. It's a companion to this year's Burst Apart long-player, which contains the remixes and covers that are standard for these sorts of releases [...]

Well my friends, it's that time of year again! November is a key month in the world of Aaron Loves Meghan... it's the month where we started dating, when we got engaged, and, of course, when we got married. And every year around this time we present our latest Aaron Loves Meghan mixtape! For the newbs, on Nov. 17th, 2007, Megs & I were married and at our wedding (which I iPod DJ'd) we gave everyone there a mixtape called Aaron Loves Meghan and, of course, posted it up on tsururadio. Since then, we've [...]

Hello...how are you? Well, it's been quite a long time. Perhaps there are two or three of you out there who still may read this. It's been a landmark year for me in terms of the gigs I managed to see. Mainly because I kept leaving Winnipeg. In February, I got to see Gang of Four in Toronto, and they were one of the most exciting bands I've ever seen. Unlike The Buzzcocks, who I saw last year, GoF are still clearly passionate and earnest about what they do. Andy Gill was a badass, and Jon King was a maniac. [...]

Frank Yang I spent an inordinate amount of time at this year's SXSW chasing around London's Still Corners , my attempts to catch one of their many sets foiled by things like not noting the difference between AM and PM on set times, showcases falling three hours behind despite having only been running for two hours and the like. I eventually caught them at a day show in an Austin Convention Centre meeting room where the room setup didn't even allow them to perform underneath their projected lightshow, instead playing in the dark while [...]
