As we approach the end of yet another year, we find ourselves looking back -- not just at the good (of which next week we'll be discussing plenty of, with the publication of the Thrash Hits Albums Of The Year lists), but the bad. Over the past twelve months, some of our favourite bands decided [...]

Ik heb best veel creatieven in mijn vriendenkring. Filmmakers, acteurs, producenten en vooral schrijvers. Hoewel de meesten het voor een blad of blog doen, heb ik er ook een paar bij zitten die daadwerkelijk een boek hebben uitgebracht. En sinds woensdag is daar weer een bij gekomen. Rianne ken ik via Twitter . Ze woonde redelijk bij mij om de hoek en voor haar reis naar Australië had ze nog wat muziek nodig. Ik was toch thuis en fietse even heen en weer om de muziek die ik had over te pompen op haar laptop. Na haar [...]

Na manhã de hoje, os australianos do Silverchair anunciaram, por meio da página oficial da banda no Facebook , o que eles chamaram de "indefinite hibernation" (hibernação indefinida, em tradução livre). "If the band stops being fun and if it's no longer fulfilling creatively, then we need to stop. Therefore after much soul searching we wanted to let you know that we're putting Silverchair into 'indefinite hibernation' and we've decided to each do our own thing for the foreseeable future." ("Se a banda deixa de ser divertida e se não é [...]
Filed under: News Mark Metcalfe, Getty Images In what may come as a surprise to their fans or those who only remembered them from the '90s, Australian rockers Silverchair have announced they're going on an "indefinite hibernation." "We formed Silverchair nearly 20 years ago when we were just 12 years old. Today we stand by the same rules now as we did back then ... if the band stops being fun and if it's [...]

Silverchair anunciou que a banda está em "hiatus" por tempo indeterminado , após 20 de anos juntos. Em nota eles explicaram que o motivo seria a falta de criatividade e diversão entre os três membros. " Isso significa que o Silverchair não fará novas músicas ou shows nos próximos tempos. Também significa que nós três não trabalharemos juntos até valer a pena novamente ."

Según podemos leer en un largo comunicado en su web oficial , los miembros de Silverchair han decidido separarse. Explican que llevan juntos como banda desde los 12 años y que "cuando ya no hay motivación ni momentos de diversión, algo va mal". De todas sus palabras quizá sean éstas las que mejor resuman las causas de esta separación: Como resultado de esta situación hemos decidido poner la banda en un estado de sueño profundo para poder hacer otras cosas que ahora consideramos más estimulantes. Esto quiere decir que no habrá ni [...]

Record Store Day was a complete and utter failure. At least for me, it was. I was stuck with the kiddo until late afternoon, and I'm not one of those loosey-goosey "yeah, man, just take your kid along" parents. I didn't get a chance to make it out to Good Records or Bill's Records or Forever Young to get some nice swag. If you did, grab what you bought and hug it long and hard - because you don't know just how lucky you are. So how did I spend my Record Store [...]

"This is for Brodie!" –Jay, just prior to punching the mall's Easter Bunny When I was 13-years-old, there was no band I liked more than Weezer. If you knew me at the time, this obsession made total sense... I was a huge dork who loved melodic indie rock and connected to anything remotely heartfelt. At the time, the band had made its triumphant return to the music scene, having just released Weezer (Green), which unleashed the crunchy, palm muted chords of "Hash Pipe" to own radio stations everywhere. Obsession aside, my love for Weezer led to one [...]
In Sunday's Observer supplement The New Review, Paul Morley talked about what the third album means to bands as well as the pressures surrounding it. He framed the article by discussing the Arcade Fire's latest, The Suburbs, and went on to list his Top 20 Third Albums of All Time. However, it seemed that the [...]

I'm an idiot. I meant to post about the Groovin' The Moo festival last week before tickets went on sale, but I forgot all about it I'm afraid. Here's the lineup - a mix of established and up and coming Aussie acts, plus a few international blow-ins: Vampire Weekend Tegan & Sara Spoon Silverchair Grinspoon Empire Of The Sun British India Lisa Mitchell Kisschasy Miami Horror Bag Raiders Kid Koala presents The Slew live Muph and Plutonic Funkoars Illy [...]

Damn, I say this every year. We are supposed to be happy and getting ready for the holidays, but December sucks. Bhopal disaster , Montreal Massacre , the 2004 Tsunami , John Lennon's death and the death of Joe Strummer . I know, I know, their deaths can't compare to these horrible tragedies, but they were turning points on how people looked at the world and defined were they stood at that time. All I can say is I miss Joe's talent. When you listen remember Joe. [...]
'The Best Of Silverchair, Vol 1.' is a snapshot of the band's career during the 90's on the Epic label. Since leaving, they released the brilliant 'Diorama' through Atlantic and keep growing in leaps in bounds. This disc represents Silverchair in many various stages. From the early grunge-cliches of 'Tomorrow' to the more experimental 'Emotion Sickness,' there's something any modern rock fan can

MuteMath at The Tabernacle in ATL on Friday followed by the Atlanta Falcons football game at the Georgia Dome today...it's like a welcome mat to Georgia. Busy weekend but SO much fun :) I went to the MuteMath show on Friday night after listening to the CD all week thinking, "Hey, this'll be good" but I was completely blown away; the drummer Darren King is my new hero...which leads me to this week's "AIAWW." Instead of the standard fare of new and random music, I've decided to do a collection of songs that have made me a) almost dislodge my [...]
