We respect the work that Spin Magazine does. We respect the good, hardworking journalism that's created in-depth features and profiles, which add to the greater lexicon of music criticism. Plus, they're one of the few that are still around! However, in a move that we find giggle-worthy and that is bound to stir up a storm of annoyed music geeks, the magazine has buried deep into the annals of history and unearthed the truths behind music's greatest myths. The list of 16 ranges from the near blasphemous (Myth: Radiohead can do [...]
Filed under: News Rock 'n' roll and spirited libations have always gone hand in hand. A new enterprise, Wines That Rock , wants to take things to a new level by creating quality wines named after legendary rock albums. Even better, the company -- created by business and fan club managers of bands like the Rolling Stones , David Bowie , Sting and U2 -- will place original album art on the wine labels. The first three products will be [...]
A digressão de The Wall foi uma das mais elaboradas de sempre, tendo ainda antes do primeiro concerto, sido gasto cerca de um milhão e meio de dólares. O espectáculo é ainda hoje considerado como um marco na história da música. Curiosamente, o espectáculo em si celebrava os sentimentos de um músico contra este tipo de concertos, onde o isolamento e o distanciamento com a audiência conduziram o autor a uma paranóia de proporções épicas. O concerto em si funcionou como uma espécie de catarse onde Waters isolado atrás do muro que construiu evoca os fantasmas que o atormentava. [...]
Ao falarmos de The Wall temos que incontornavelmente falar sobre a iconografia a ele associado. As imagens criadas por Geral Scarf para o álbum, para os concertos e para o filme fazem parte do imaginário colectivo, sendo reveladores da importância que a imagem têm no meio musical. Julgo que nenhum outro disco gerou tantas imagens que se tornaram numa referência, desde as figuras dos martelos, passando pelo juiz e pela dança das flores. O filme trouxe igualmente mais um punhado de imagens que se tornaram celebres e que o espectador remete de imediato para o disco. Os Floyd ao longo [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive Pink Floyd 's classic double-record 'The Wall' has not only been a staple of rock but has also been a part of pop culture trivia, as founding drummer Nick Mason learned. "There's a [quiz show] program here [in Britain] called 'University Challenge,'" he tells Spinner. "Just by chance they happened to ask these students to name the song and the guitar player. I'm sad to say they failed. They didn't seem to know either Pink Floyd, David Gilmour or 'Comfortably Numb.'" [...]

Whether it be dismissing fellow band members, writing a semi-autobiographical [...]
Antes do espectáculo na Broadway e do concerto em Berlim, surgiu o filme The Wall em 1982, derivado directamente do álbum homónimo. Muito se escreveu sobre a longa metragem realizada por Alan Parker e as interpretações e strapolações que se fizeram com a vida de Waters. No entanto, e como o próprio esclareceu em diversas ocasiões, tanto o disco com o filme é inspirado no conto de Jean-Paul Sartre, The Wall. O filme retrata a construção e demolição de um muro, que metaforicamente representa o sentimento de isolamento e de alienação, mas que deixa [...]
This week's Baker's Dozen highlights 13 albums from the 1970s that often go unmentioned when discussing the best music from the decade.
Filed under: News , New Music Hole fans, rejoice. Courtney Love has not only resurrected her '90s band's name for her new album 'Nobody's Daughter,' she's actually going to release it. Rolling Stone confirms that Hole's first record since 1998's 'Celebrity Skin' is set for a January release and explores a varying degree of topics that one might expect from Love: greed, vengeance and feminism. Apparently, the sound draws from David Bowie 's 'Diamond Dogs,' "the good side of Pink Floyd 's 'The [...]
While My Morning Jacket continue their extended hiatus, they did manage an animated reunion. The Southern Rockers will be featured prominently in an upcoming episode of Fox's American Dad entitled My Morning Straightjacket, where lead character Stan Smith becomes a groupie. The show's co-creator got the idea during MMJ's now legendary performance at Bonnaroo '08 and has gone on to dub them "American Dad's official band." The episode will air Sunday, Nov. 22 at 9:30PM ET and will feature six songs from The Jacket, which will [...]

We changed the name of the Friday night party we hold down at badformat... Robo:Love I guess we just wanted to be a little more synths and smiles... see you there! As well as some moniker brain storming we have been further extending our musical journey of discovery, mining the far flung corners of the internet to get some quality sound gems. I wholly recommend checking Slutty Fringe and Disco Delicious for heaps of audio treasure. What [...]
Initially I thought I'd compile a bright playlist of songs about the sun to help combat the blahs that's sure to inflict many of us this fall and winter. But, as I started plucking tracks from my collection, I discovered that a majority of the songs avoid using the sun as a symbol of positivity, or of they do, it's to bemoan the lack of it. So much for trying to cheer you up!

The title of the new Flaming Lips album, Embryonic, refers to how most of the songs were recorded during the very early stages of their creation. The result is an album which sounds completely foreign to what the band has been releasing since 1999's The Soft Bulletin .
