I can honestly say I'm a fan of pretty much everything Emily Haines has done so far, musically. There is Metric of course, and there is her solo stuff, but there's also - let's not forget - her many wonderful collaborations. Some, like " Anthems for a 17-year Old Girl ", seem to be universally loved while others, like " Stopwatch Hearts " or " Uptown Girl ", are less well known. From her songs with Stars and The Stills, to her involvement in Crystal Method and even Tiesto projects - it seems that this is one musician who cannot [...]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =YTWMtdFSR_0 Lost last week in the 45-post a day, ad impression shuffle was the video for Freddie Gibbs and Pill's "Womb 2 the Tomb," an instant-classic from Freddie Gibbs' instant-classic mixtape, Midwestgangstaboxframecadillac muzick. Directed by Skee TV go-to-director, Matt Alonzo , the almost five minute clip is a mini tour de force: a gothic, grainy, black and white blur of Gibbs and Pill stalking the badlands peripheral to downtown Los Angeles, shrouded by graffiti and conquered rivers, old aqueducts and faded tombstones. Their backpacks are bloated [...]
La scorsa settimana abbiamo terminato il nostro viaggio attraverso gli album più importanti del decennio che si sta concludendo. Abbiamo quindi pensato di riassumere il tutto in questo post che non è altro che la lista completa, tappa per tappa, degli album che di volta in volta abbiamo approfondito, in modo tale da avere una sorta di indice delle varie puntate. Dopo il salto trovate anche la listona di tutti gli album che di anno in anno sono stati inseriti fra "gli album da salvare". [...]
Remember back in the early 2000s, when almost every "cool new band" had a name starting with "The" and ending with a plural? The Strokes, The Hives, The Ataris, The Gorillaz, The White Stripes, The Vines, The Unicorns? Well, my friends, it looks like the time has come for another wave of bands with similar [...]
Como no sólo de pop vive el hombre, vamos hoy a cambiar de tercio y fijarnos en este grupo de Dinamarca llamado The River Phoenix que se caracteriza por realizar una música rock contundente y enérgica. Su álbum de debut, "Ritual" fue grabado en Estocolmo con la producción a cargo de Pelle Gunnerfeldt (The Hives, Logh, The Internacional Noise Conspiracy). Entre las canciones incluidas en el mismo se encuentra este temazo llamado 5 Wheel Drive. Website MySpace mp3: The River Phoenix-5 Wheel [...]

Last week I had the chance to interview Marty Zylstra, lead vocalist and guitarist for the band Sweetheart. The band was recently chosen as one of the twenty finalists for the Peak Performance Project. The Peak Performance Project is sponsored by the 100.5 The Peak FM and Music BC. The PEAK Performance Project is a seven-year, $5.29 million contest open to all musicians in British Columbia. The project was created by 100.5 The PEAK and Music BC to develop BC based emerging artists. Every year, twenty finalists [...]

Met hun debuutplaat Bring'em In liftte Mando Diao handig mee op de successen van gelijkgestemde bands als The Strokes en The Hives. Gitaarbandjes deden het goed en ook voor de vier brutale Zweedse rockers leek er een veelbelovende toekomst in...
The singer-songwriter of the Strokes has finally released his solo debut. The wait was worth it. From the beginning: I read a review of Is This It, which my father handed me. It said, "put on the Strokes. Bounce" and I did. I saw the band live at the Avalon in Boston that year; Julian Casablancas, their lead singer, had dirty, long hair and a leather jacket. The girls were in love. There were too many bands called "The [somethings]" (White Stripes, Hives...) that year. Walking from the Charles River up...
Oh this is so good. This is so, so, so good. I had totally avoided Fuck Buttons up to this point. Partially due to the decidedly average name, and partially due to the fact that the entire idea of 'noise' as a genre makes me break out in hives. It's kinda like math rock - I can appreciate the art behind it, but when listening to it I am always faced with the burning question: when would I ever play this album for pleasure? Noise-wise, everybody lost their shit for HEALTH recently, but I always found them a bit too [...]

You have to get it on mp3 or for real . And if you did not do it before, please get [...]
Les plus fidèles lecteurs de ce blog se rappelleront sans doute que je m'étais enflammé comme un cube de Zip en 2007 pour l'album de Plan B , un rappeur anglais qui me semblait avoir atteint musicalement (si pas forcément dans les paroles, plus quelconques) une sorte d'équilibre parfait entre la voix et les accompagnements musicaux, le plus souvent acoustiques. Mais bon, comme souvent quand je m'enflamme (Lupen Crook par exemple), le reste du monde prend un malin plaisir à me pleuvoir dessus (why? why? Is it because I lied [...]

If you're there, you probably know that. Here you can find few "big big" stars like The Hives or Kent, some "big" ones like Stina Nordenstam, Lykke Li, The Knife, Shout out [...]
"The debut album `Ritual` was recorded in Stockholm with Pelle Gunnerfeldt (The Hives, Logh) over the space of two weeks. The likes of 'I'm USA You're Canada', '5 Wheel Drive' and '28-83-7' rise and fall with passionate, bombastic choruses and subtle, measured introspection, sketching out vast sonic patterns intricately weaved with swathes of lush guitar melodies". Instantly engaging Alt-Rock harmonies from Danish band `The River Phoenix`. An untainted and musically precise offering currently entertaining New York City, joining the list of major cities being charmed with a new wave of Scandinavian music. [...]
I admit that the allure of using a controller to interact with animated action on a screen holds limited appeal for me. Perhaps its my age or the fact that a potato rolling down a hill has better hand-eye coordination than I do. But the latest incarnation of Rock Band which brickifies rock stars into claw handed stumps just mystifies me. Nevertheless LEGO Rock Band has attracted David Bowie, Iggy Pop and Queen. (Full track list after the jump.) Here's video of Blur (or as Joystiq so abtly put it, the band best known [...]
Reza a história da mesma forma: colegas de liceu com um denominador comum chamado música, neste caso preciso pelo estilo rock, admiradores de bandas como os Smashing Pumpkins e claramente influenciados pelos suecos The Hives ou pelo primeiro trabalho dos norte-americanos The Killers, nasce uma banda nova vinda de França: os Soma.Com um rock potente, claramente como uma resposta tardia ao que do

O ne of my favorite songs of the '00s was never released as a single. In fact, it never appeared on an album, and as far as I know, you can't buy it anywhere. I first heard it last year in a Warner Channel promo for the short-lived Anne Heche series Men In Trees . I knew neither the name of the song nor the singer, so I did a Google search for "Men In Trees Warner Channel promo song." I wasn't alone because there were a number of message boards with people as desperate as I was to [...]
