We were talking about Iron Maiden headlining the Saturday evening of Download Festival 2013 and we were all at odds over what the best Maiden album was. Obviously, with 15 (fifteen!) studio albums in their arsenal, there are a lot of different styles to choose from, not even considering the variation in quality. We figured we'd ask our resident Maiden fan what his favourite was. From the era of record shops [ read his wicked article on long-gone Soho dive, Shades ], Tony Hampton's a lot older than the rest of us, so he actually remembers (pretty much, [...]
I never did get to the garden center yesterday because Gracie and I went to the dump. She saw me bringing trash to the car despite my stealthiness and got quite excited at the prospect of going to one of her favorite places. I couldn't disappoint her so off we went. When I got home, I sat for a bit and that small break drained me of any ambition. It was around two, and I was sitting on the couch reading and sweating because yesterday afternoon was about 84˚. Why in the heck am I sweating thought I so up [...]
Each night I tend to wander through my SoundCloud and Twitter looking for songs just released and songs that may be new to me. There is no shortage. I tend to tweet my finds using the #nowplaying hashtag. Primarily, this is a way to expose the band and maybe get a few plays for the song. Also, it is just a way for me to remember songs I want to go back and listen to again! So, this is all about discovering new music. What could be better? Enjoy! Madness and the Film - London [...]

Before even reaching Boise’s downtown there was something different in the air for this year’s Treefort Music Festival . Namely, there were construction cranes cutting through the Boise skyline, a sight unseen for at least seven years. Most notable is the skyrise sprouting at the corner of 8th and Main Streets, a site previously referred to as The Boise Hole, for its ambitious plans for large development and subsequent loss of backing — it was literally a giant hole in the ground for more than 10 years, a downtown void for a decade, the mental presence of something larger, but [...]

Ainsi nous poursuivons notre nouvelle rubrique « coup de cœur du disquaire ». Chez Hartzine, nous sommes amateurs de musique en tout genre, voire tout support, mais rien ne vaut un bon vinyle ou une bonne vieille cassette. Et quand nous sommes en manque d’inspiration, c’est dans la boutique de Fred Paquet que nous allons nous ressourcer. Situé en plein milieu de Bastille, plus exactement au 23 rue Keller, Pop Culture Shop se révèle être une vraie mine d’or pour le profane comme pour l’auditeur exigeant. Entre comic store et disquaire de haute volée, la boutique de Fred regorge de [...]
Greek act Thy Darkened Shade is currently working on the follow-up album to "Eternvs Mos, Nex Ritvs." The band has now checked in with the following recording update: "Drum recordings for our second full-length album completed at Woodshed Studios by H. We are more than proud with the results and we would like to thanks both H. and V. for their g... Read More/Discuss on Metal Underground.com

It's taken an entire year and thousands of albums to get here, but I've finally managed to compile the best records of 2012 and put them in an easy-to-reference list. The top 5 all had perfect scores, so choosing this year's best was harder than usual. In the end, there can only be 12 this year and moreover, one that surpasses all. As always, I want to personally congratulate all the artists mentioned here today and thank you for your tremendous talent and dedication to your craft– You guys are the best of the best and it was a pleasure [...]

Last we heard of Dark Sky was following their triumphant four track return to British label Black Acre Records . Black Rainbows marked a distinct turn for the three boys from South London, as they chose to follow their more tribal, junglist tendencies, forgoing the glossy euphoria present on their debut effort for Modeselektor 's 50 Weapons imprint, 20112s Radius , and specifically its lead single, Neon , for something distinctly darker - in the words of our own sam.i.am., it was "playfully moody." Though the Myriam EP [...]

In response to this jam, one commentator on SoundCloud shared "fuck perfect bass." Something like that notion ran across my mind as I haggardly bobbed up in down in my chair while listening to this teaser of Dark Sky 's villainous new production entitled "Shades"–forthcoming on Modeselektor's 50 Weapons imprint on December 7th. I suspect this one will smash up a handful dance caves around the globe over the holiday season. Wolfey [...]
"Wanna f*ck Rihanna, but that's only for the promo" We've never heard two thirds of the rappers on "Go Get it," but that won't stop us from rocking Jae E's [...] The post Jae E Feat. E-40 & Thaddeous Shade - "Go Get It" appeared first on The Smoking Section .

Lip shade progression on these three girlfriends.

NOLA native and AZ representer Jae E links up with Thaddeous Shade and Forty Fonzarelli himself on this beast of a record. Just press play...

Oyama er shoegaze-sveit úr höfuðborginni sem hefur verið að geta sér góðs orðs undanfarið og mun m.a. spila á Airwaves nú í lok mánaðar. Fyrir tveim dögum sendi sveitin frá sér nýtt lag sem nefnist Dinosaur" og hljómar það hér að neðan ásamt tveimur eldri lögum. Á tónlistarvefnum Straum má svo sjá ágætis viðtal við sveitina.

MJ Cole is one of my favorite producer and as one of those living legend in electronic music, he never lost a step. His lates remix is of English singer Delilah's latest single 'Shades of Grey'. The result is another classic MJ Cole tune.

From the time I heard Nooka and Synthemesc 's collaboration 2 months ago, I knew something special was happening. While I obviously have reviewed a number of their records and interviewed a handful of their artists, Synthemesc is still a label in development... incidentally, any good label will continue to change as time goes by and in turn, influence others during that time. When I first decided to make a couple of fan videos, I really hadn't planned on going much further than 2. However once I got going, I knew we had to make one for [...]

Super Keeps going strong with their newest collection of shades, none which disappoint. Check out the entire collection below and cop HERE .
In case you're not a fan of our Facebook or Twitter pages, you probably don't know what we've been doing lately. Well, we've been busily making music videos every week. "But Violent Success", you say,"I've seen plenty of videos and none of them were anything special." Well sir or madame, you may have been correct up until today, but what we've been doing IS special. You see, Synth Records (friend of the site) and their artists decided to partner with Nooka and produce a compilation of 12 original tracks that best represent themselves [...]

If Serge Gainsbourg had written songs with The Velvet Underground, it might have sounded like The Liminanas. Somebody else wrote that, but it's a great way to describe the sultry, fuzz-drenched basement-sound of the trio from Perpignan. Their second album Crystal Anis is out, and the second you hear the bass in Ballade pour Clive, you'll get the Gainsbourg-reference. This is music to listen to with darkdarkdark-shades on, while Super8-porn is being shown on the screen in the humid cellar, the leather-clad crowd is getting anxious yet you're keeping it cool. You might dance. Horizontally or vertical, maybe [...]
