by beatmasterspeech (LA) LA has somewhat of a "bands of metal's history" theme this week. Well, Napalm Death are still pumping out records and letting everyone know how to DIY and rise up! Go check out the legends tomorrow @ the House of Blues, Sunset. I would bet you might get a shot at seeing their take on the Dead Kennedys ' "Nazi Punks, Fuck Off." After you've had your head grinded to a pulp, come find me in the room of doom at the Mountain Bar giving praises to [...]
BY ANDY VIHSTADT Rainbow Connection After months of cryptic come-ons, Radiohead threw us all a huge bone last night. In Rainbows , the band's long awaited seventh LP, will be available to download on October 10 here . From the looks of it, you won't be able to get it anywhere else until December. Craziest of all, you get to name your own price. (More info at A to Z .) [...]
When it comes to new releases, it's not exactly raining donuts this week, but there are a few tasty treats out now for you to consume. Besides The Simpsons Movie soundtrack, available now in drool-inducing Limited Edition Donut Packaging, you can finally get the domestic release of the debut by Mercury Prize nominated Bat for Lashes , the solo project of Brighton-based songwriter Natasha Khan. You can also pick up the Kanye West-produced new album by Common , a video game soundtrack by Z-Trip , a debut from brash Glaswegian [...]

I know I just posted about Z-Trip and his All-Pro Soundtrack earlier this month , but now Z has made a track off the album available for download on his own site . Like most of the album, Doin' It Like This leans heavy on rock, taking a Clutch song, Profits of Doom , as its main sample. I've never been a huge Clutch fan, but I love this track and the way Z spins the repeating chorus, a not-so-subtle message to the wannabes and bedroom DJs: "I've been doin' [...]

The Z-Trip site has been overhauled and has had some new old goodies added to it... It is definately worth the check out if you are into his sound and especially if you havent heard some of his harder to find stuff. Plus, you can get the whole Live in LA album for free...

Last night I was on the guest list (with a plus 3 even) for a show by Goldchains sponsored by Glam.com While only a few blocks away, I never made it down there... Perhaps I didn't want to round up a drinking posse, and get sh*tfaced or parade through the nocturnal cess pool where the club is located... Or maybe I just wasn't feeling very Glammy after all... Although I do regret it today.... I guess [...]
