So Mandy Moore ditched DJ AM in favour of musician Ryan Adams -- and the couple are getting hitched . Mandy's publicist has confirmed her engagement to her on-again, off-again beau, but is keeping mum over the details of the proposal and nuptials. Hmm. So the boyfriend decided he could live with the paparazzi after all. On the musical front, Mandy will be releasing her LP Amanda Leigh on May 26. She has teamed up with Gain to offer an exclusive new song, "I Could Break Your Heart Any [...]
After the announcement of their forthcoming release , the Yeah Yeah Yeahs have unveiled the cover for It's Blitz! , which will hit shelves April 14. Will the new melodies be as explosive as the exploding egg depicted on the album cover? Hopefully it's a sign of things to come. Interestingly, Karen O orders guitar hero Nick Zinner to dump his guitar for a synth on this new record. Head on over to read their exclusive interview by Spin Magazine . It's Blitz! Tracklist [...]
It's a crazy world we're living in. In England, a boy named Alfie Patten has become a father , and the mother of his child is his 15 year old girlfriend, Chantelle Steadman. And guess what? He's only 13. Their baby girl, Maisie, was apparently conceived after one night of unprotected sex. So I guess Alfie has been weaned on porn since he was, what, a baby? Honestly, it's heartbreaking because he wants to be a good dad but has no idea what he'll have to do financially to support his new family. [...]
Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip is an electronic hip-hop band from Essex, UK. In case you were wondering, the duo consists of Dan Le Sac (the beatmeister) and Scroobius Pip (the bearded rapper). Back in 2007, these lads made the world sit up and listen with their song "Thou Shalt Always Kill". They are back with a rework of that same tune, this time with Posdnuos of American hip-hop outfit De La Soul . You can check out the video above, or buy the music here . I'm wowed when Pip sings (around 1:29): [...]
I'm psyched over the imminent release of Metric's new album, Fantasies , which is set to drop April 14. I've been listening to "Help, I'm Alive" all week now, and I am totally head over heels in love with it. In comparison to their older material, this new song is grittier and darker in tone. Nonetheless, with Emily Haines at the helm, you'd know you are still in familiar territory. If this song is an indicator of the new album, I think we'd be in for a real good treat. Starting March 2, you can [...]
Ever since Pitchfork posted a phenomenal review of their latest album Merriweather Post Pavilion , almost 90% of the music bloggers out there have been raving non-stop about Baltimore's Animal Collective and their 'electro' pop songs. Some critics have even gone as far as to say that this is 2009's best album. Is that too premature to say? Admittedly, I have neither heard the quartet's music before, nor have I had a chance to review the entire album yet. But based on the strength of the album's lead single [...]
The Huayi Festival 2009 kicks off today! This is an annual arts festival staged by The Esplanade in celebration of the Chinese New Year and to promote the work of Chinese performing artists. Currently in its seventh edition, the festival will run from January 30 to Feburary 8, with a wide range of both ticketed and free programmes to cater to both the young and old. I am particularly interested in the in::music series, which showcases indie singer-songwriters and bands. This year, the geeky-looking Crowd Lu Guang Zhong will be performing, as [...]
Today I present to you William Elliott Whitmore , a talented folk-blues musician with a thick, gravelly voice and whose songs I fell in love with in 2005, when he released Ashes to Dust on Southern Records.

"There's Hope For You" is the 6th track off the album, and you can get the MP3 for free courtesy of Spinner.com . File him alongside Jeff Buckley and Leonard [...]
