I have varying theories on Lana Del Rey , beginning with "she's a robot" and ending with "she's obviously dead inside". My theories (which also include various assumptions about her having been manufactured out of Barbie parts and the souls of departed Disney voice-over artists in some Pitchfork worshiping indie rock hell) are supported by various media outlets; just last week ninebullets.net compared her existence to that of a McNugget (or McRib), and the good people of the Washington Post declared: Seemingly divorced from experience, or even imagination, her moody, melancholic music carries [...]

En España entró ayer en vigor una nueva ley que regula los lugares donde se puede y no se puede fumar tabaco. La denominada Ley Antitabaco ha suscitado polémica especialmente por la restricción de fumar en lugares públicos cerrados (bares, discotecas, restaurantes...) y, por tanto, la diversidad de opiniones ante medidas así es bastante amplia. A nosotros en Cucahara Sónica nos interesan las repercusiones que puede tener una ley de este tipo en el mundo de la música . En el caso español, no se podrá fumar en salas de conciertos o pabellones [...]

1985 was the year of a zombie renaissance: We got yesterday's entry, and then this great one, which is actually more of a Frankenstein film than a traditional zombie flick. The gore is over the top and ridiculous, the budget nonexistent, and the laughs are a mile-a-minute. If you have a strong stomach. And no, this didn't influence The Walking Dead comic book at all. But I couldn't miss a chance to feature this film (again) on my site . . . Zombie (The Cranberries cover)-Jay Brannan
It's not every young sensitive singer-songwriter that could open a show with a sparse, seven-minute cover of Sinead O'Connor's 'Troy' but that is exactly what Jay Brannan did. By the end of the torturous opener it has become apparent that Brannan has a devoted fan base with a rammed-to-the-rafters Crawdaddy hanging off his every word. An interesting start then. Brannan's is a heartwarming success story: a genuine DIY effort that has seen him sell thousands of records and play shows all over the world based almost solely on a bunch of YouTube videos without the backing of [...]

Jay Brannan: Zombie [ purchase ] I know we don't usually post new music here on Star Maker Machine, but I'm sure we're all thinking about The Cranberries' infamous radio poptune. I figured I'd preempt any temptation towards posting it last-minute by sharing this relatively recent cover from internet sensation Jay Brannan, which transforms the song from its original pop pap into melancholy musing.
