Artist: Soundgarden

Does this cap make me look "gangsta"? Last weekend, a friend of mine made an interesting comment/observation that I filed away for future consideration. This morning, as I lay in bed plotting my Saturday, it popped back into my head. I'm not sure how or why, but the conversation last Saturday night had suddenly shifted to being black and living in a place where you're not only a minority but a rarity, too. It's a topic that has been broached several times by friends and acquaintances over the last year [...]

Speaking of last goodbyes, yesterday I said one to someone I really care about. Now today (Friday, the 3rd) is looking a lot like a Smiths day. (Bye bye, Soundgarden -- for now.) Morrissey always did know exactly how to express all of my feelings of personal and romantic angst. He gets it like that. Today's partial must-listen-to Smiths playlist: "I Know It's Over" "And you even spoke to me, and said, 'If you're so funny, then why are you on your own tonight? And if you're so clever, then why [...]

This hump day clearly won't be one of my most productive ones. There's a cluster of ideas for future posts crowding my mind, but instead of settling on any of them, I'll focus on the one thing that is stopping me from focusing on anything else today: tonight's Soundgarden show at Melbourne's Sidney Meyer Music Bowl, which will be my first major concert in Australia. (What took me so long, right?) I'll have to do some sort of in-depth analysis of Soundgarden one day (like tomorrow, when I'll be reviewing the show for the Time Out Melbourne [...]

Filed under: News , Exclusive , The Hit List Wire Image | bauergriffinonline.com In January 1992, Nirvana 's 'Nevermind' album toppled a four-week holiday-season reign by Michael Jackson 's 'Dangerous' atop the Billboard 200 sales chart. The Alternative Revolution had stormed the barricades. Grunge, goth, pop-punk, industrial and electronica suddenly all came together to a degree, as outsider acts from outsider genres broke through to the mainstream in [...]

Kanye West didn't make any new friends over the weekend at the Big Day Out Festival in Australia. He apparently ... Read the full article at http://www.prefixmag.com/news/ soundgarden-disses-kanye-west- at-big-day-out/60847/

Over the weekend, Kanye West played Australia's Big Day Out fest, pissing some audience members off by showing up around 45 minutes late to the stage. Audience members weren't the only ones he was pissing off; Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell, whose band was playing on an adjacent stage, said: "Sounds like there's children playing music there," singer Chris Cornell quipped to his irritating, booing fans. "Retarded children, retarded as in held back. There's no other word for it." (via Popdust ) What I'm most surprised about, honestly, [...]

Wherever Kanye West goes, controversy follows — even Down Under. Yeezy managed to incurr the wrath of two parties while performing at Big Day Out festival on Australia's Gold Coast — that of his own fans, and that of Soundgarden, who had the misfortune of attempting to play during Kanye's extremely loud soundcheck. The first sign of trouble began when Kanye's louder-than-expected soundcheck drowned out Soundgarden's set, which was happening one stage over. "Sounds like there's children playing music there, retarded children, retarded as in held back," singer Chris Cornell reportedly said. "There's [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News Victor Boyko, WireImage Few rappers can rock big spaces like Kanye West , and this weekend at Australia's Big Day Out festival, Yeezy brought it as only he can. The only problem: He started 45 minutes late, annoying fans evidently not accustomed to American hip-hop standards of punctuality. As the Courier Mail reports , fans chanted "bulls---" as they waited for the Chi-town rhymer to [...]

MORE monsters of rock have been lined up for Download festival, taking place in Castle Donington this June. Grunge legends Soundgarden will play the UK for the first time since 1996 with a visit to Donington Park. Band member Matt Cameron said: "We are beyond psyched to play Download 2012. It will be a huge year for the band and what better way to celebrate than bring it all to our UK family at Download. See you there!" Also coming are Scottish sensations Biffy Clyro, while Jack Black and Kyle Gass' musical endeavour Tenacious [...]

UK rockers, get ready to do some dancing and some headbanging at Donington Park this year. The line up for the 10th annual Download festival was recently announced and the line up is rather big for fans of hard rock and metal. Headlining this whole shindig are Metallica, Black Sabbath and The Prodigy. You've also got Chase & Status, Biffy Clyro and Soundgarden providing support (even though I think Soundgarden should be a headliner but that's just me.) Other bands appearing include Tenacious D, Machine Head, Lamb of God, You Me At Six, Trivium, [...]

Soundgarden just posted this on their official Facebook page . In addition to the five names only just released by Zane Lowe, there are nine others - co-incidentally, the same number of names set to be announced by Daniel P Carter later tonight. Did someone in Soundgarden's camp post the wrong picture? OOPS. **UPDATE** It's now been pulled from Soundgarden's page ( we got a screengrab though ). Do you think that make it more or less legit? Heaven forbid we speculate (Yes). As you can see above, the nine new [...]

Il nuovo disco, che avrà Adam Kasper come produttore, dovrebbe vedere al luce entro la prossima primavera . Chi volesse acquistare i biglietti per il concerto del 4 giugno può farlo su [...]

As we move into a new year, one of the strangest pieces of news has been revealed. Album sales in 2011 actually went up for the first time in almost a decade. Granted it was mostly due to Adele's incredibly popular album...that still proves that the album as a musical format is still very viable. And while all the news articles still like to pronounce the death of rock and how pop has
