Say what you like about the hipster magazine-lifestyle-brand-thing Vice , but they're one of the few people making interesting documentaries about metal as it is today . Mainstream broadcasters can't seem to get past making documentaries about metal in the 70s and 80s - Vice is all about inspired metal film-making on the here and now. Not only was Vice behind the eye-opening Heavy Metal in Bahgdad , but also True Norwegian Black Metal . Now they've gone [...]
How do bring developing nations further along? A new report indicates investing in women may be the answer to ending poverty. Mr Wishart says recent research by the World Bank shows economic growth is boosted by the number of girls who complete their secondary education and go on to earn higher wages. "The stats show that the extra year of study of school results in 10 to 20 per cent higher income," he said. "If you start multiplying that through five or six years of high school, it has a [...]
Tempo di nuove release in casa Borkanagar , ultra decennale band black metal norvegese. Il gruppo di Bremen ha ultimato la registrazione del nuovo full length Universal di cui, purtroppo, non sappiamo dirvi con esattezza la data d'uscita (la band stessa comunica che sarà disponibile nei primi mesi del 2010). Comunque la band norvegese si è data parecchio da fare riguardo a questa nuova avventura discografica e, come potete vedere dal video report che gli stessi Borknagar hanno pubblicato, le registrazioni sono iniziate già a gennaio 2009. Il video è davvero molto carino ed [...]
I was only able to go to the second night of the Homegrown Fest at Church but I'm OK with that. You know why? Because that night had one of the best lineups I've ever seen. Fucking ridiculously awesome. Because so many bands played and I could easily write a whole review for each set, I'm just going to post the pictures I took coupled with what I wrote on Twitter immediately after each performance. There are more photos on my Flickr page if you're into that sorta thing. [...]
According to the New York Times , if you like avoiding murder as much as the next guy, you may want to consider doing the majority of your outdoor tasks on rainy days. That's right, thanks to some bored delinquents researchers, we now know that murder rates go down when precipitation goes up. Why they felt that this was necessary research to do is beyond reason. People don't go out when it rains because that's just plain stupid. No research required. Traffic, accidents, bad roads, pneumonia, lightning. These are all things [...]
Sir Paul McCartney has set the record straight over reports he is "devastated" at Michael Jackson not leaving him his share in the Beatles back catalogue – insisting they are "completely untrue". The Beatles legend has posted a message on his website to make it clear he never expected to inherit Jacko's share in the songs. He also plays down reports he fell out with the late Thriller icon over the tracks, saying he has "fond memories" of Jackson. Sir Paul writes: "Some time ago, the media came up with the idea that Michael [...]

Ashton Kutcher has denied reports he is flying to London to see the Britain's Got Talent final. Reports claimed Ashton, 31, and wife Demi Moore, 46, were flying over to the UK to see Susan Boyle compete in the final of the show after they were offered tickets by judge Amanda Holden. Demi spoke to Amanda, 38, through the social networking site Twitter and after she was offered first-class tickets, Demi said: "Generous offer! Thank you!" However, Ashton later posted a message on his Twitter page saying: "I will be working stateside this weekend. [...]
Reports - Bill Wyman Metal Detector Reports take the barely controlled ecstasy of someone like The Bachs and schelp it through even more reverb with additional Verlainesy vocal peaks and clatter so it sounds heaps 'distant' (aka recorded from behind a mattress) minus the corduroy and cheekbones and grey skies. I don't know who the heck Bill Wyman is but apparently he actually does have his own brand of metal detector (a lie?) but besides that slight gimmick they pour out some super burgundy garage joy. [ Reports [...]
Reporter - Clickshaw ( mp3 ) Melodic and sensual angular rock from Portland. Sort of the sound Santogold was going for on her album, but without trying as hard.
