The performance took place at El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles shortly after the film received its premiere at Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood. And while the event was a private party, us common folk can relive the concert on [...]

The OST itself will be in stores on July 13th. Marr said that it was "Zimmer who invited me" to work on the music and that "he's someone I've wanted to work with [...]

From The Closet deserves a delve into a generation of music that may not be represented here on a regular basis, and that's where I come into play. My closet might run a bit deeper than those who previously post here on this site. I'm an old fart for sure, but I might have something of worth to share with you. Follow the jump for more.

The Cribs no es una banda que haya estallado en el mainstream pero sí es una banda que tiene un miembro con mucha, muchísima historia en el mundo de la música.

Ahora el guitarrista estuvo hablando en relación a la nueva producción del grupo y comentó que las grabaciones están yendo viento en popa y que [...]

I går blev de prestigefyldte Ivor Novello Awards uddelt og den tidligere The Smiths-guitarist Johnny Marr blev tildelt 'The Ivors Inspiration Award'. Ellers var Lily Allen den store vinder, da hendes hit The Fear fik prisen for 'Best Song Musically and Lyrically' og hun løb ligeledes med prisen som 'Songwriter of the Year'. I den mere kuriøse afdeling, vandt Killzone 2 prisen for bedste Video Game Score.

For all of my talk about the great songwriting tandems in my opinion of the last thirty years including Morrissey and Marr or Tennant or Lowe, it's a crime that I always tend to neglect another immensely gifted and influential pair. I honestly don't know exactly what made it uncool to consider them as such. I probably missed the memo that deemed Daryl Hall and John Oates as "uncool" and it's just as well. These two were a serious force to be reckoned with from the late 70s into the mid 1980s. Their songs were perfectly crafted and had an [...]

I'm not sure how original this video concept is. The animation reminds me of the old Peter Gabriel videos. The song is from Hitchcock's new release, Propellor Time on Sartorial Records. What struck me, and the reason I was posted it, was the fact that the music was composed by Johnny Marr who just [...]
