Post-punk trailblazers Wire are return with a new album on February 7th. The record, The Black Sessions- Paris 10 May, 2011 was recorded live, not surprisingly in Paris last year. The album was previously available as a tour-only release when the band was out supporting their last (disappointing) record Red Bark Tree . Grab the track "Drill" over at SPIN .

SURFING ON STEAM
Sound Bites
I waited till 2011 to finalize my albums list - all my lists - partially due to laziness, being busy, the holidays... but mainly because I'm not sure what the hurry is. I don't do this for the web traffic (clearly), so I gave myself a little more time to decide than usual. (And as long as this goes up before the Village Voice' s Pazz n' Jop, I don't feel delinquent.) So here's my list, the top five or so have been a lock for almost half a year, but the rest were in flux right till I [...]

So, as the New Year approaches, here are our favourite albums of 2011 for your consideration. Feel free to dispute, argue, or otherwise put us right because, if nothing else, music is as about as subjective topic as it is possible to get. Some of these may not be the "best" albums of the year as far as the critics are concerned, but that matters not, as they were the ones we enjoyed listening to most - give them a try, you might feel the same. 50 Jessica Lea Mayfield [...]

The Decibel Tolls
The most wonderful time of the year, right guys? 'Twas the end of December, and all through the blogosphere, not a creature was stirring, except for the sounds of music writers springin' chub, strokin' egos, and Bon Iverin' via the storied tradition of the "best of" list. Well, The Decibel Tolls participates in that jive as well, save for the latter. Be it as it may. So yeah, man... 2011... shit. 2011 was a turbulent and gnarly year, and as such, we've been treated to some truly stellar music. Funny how that works - civic and economic tension [...]

Una settimana fa avevo sbrodolato tantissimo parlando di Homeland (ancora non lo vedete? davvero?) parlandone come della serie dell'anno. Conoscendomi (io e le persone che mi conoscono) sanno che sono una persona di facilissimi entusiasmi (che poi mantengo ma insomma parto da ODDDIO HO VISTO LA MADONNA e arrivo a sì caruccio) quindi non smonterò per nulla Homeland (che rimane serie dell'anno fino a prova contraria), ma rilancio su me stesso. E rilancio con Boss. Parliamo di un serial prettamente politico, la sinossi brevissima è la diagnosi al sindaco di Chicago (Tom Kane) di una malattia rara simile [...]

The Black Lips regresan con un nuevo video en el que hacen alusión a la reciente ocupación en Wall Street pero... sin querer. El video en cuestión retrata algo similar al desalojo por parte de la NYPD (Policía de NY) que ocurrió hace muy poco en la ocupación de los "indignados", pero en estilo retro y con los integrantes de la banda vestidos como agentes de la década de los 70s. El clip incluye cameos de la modelo Janell Shirtcliff y el actor Leo Fitzpatrick, famoso por su trabajo en la serie policiaca The Wire. El video pertenece a [...]
