Last week Vince did his Woodward n' Bernstein thing and, discovering that Nuclear Blast's German webstore listed the new Meshuggah album under the title Koloss, deduced that the album was actually titled Colossus - because "koloss" is German for "colossus." And he was so close! In fact, the album is actually just called Koloss. They're tricky, [...]

Kickball Katy is known for showing off her AMAZING BOD on last year's Bruise Cruise [ link ]. As a member of the Vivian Girls , she continually showed off her indie keutness with fiery red hair (without the downsides of traditional gingers) and AMAZING bangs. Even if her music 'totally sucks' and is worse than Best Coast , we can still count on her having a very buzzworthy year based on looks alone. Apparently, her solo buzzband's name is La Sera, which is probably Spanish for 'The Red Head With Bangs with a BANGIN [...]

Let's face it. Justice 's 2k11 release was a huge flop. No1 even liked it because no1 listens to prog rock. I have no idea what 'prog rock' even is. Might as well just call it 'boring rock.' Anyways, they have some new 'single' called 'on'n'on' that no1 is even interested in hearing, but in order to 'get buzz', they put a nude broad on the 'single cover.' Of course, social networks like FB will be all like 'take it down' and iTunes will be all like 'n0 b00bz allowed.' Really desperate attempt to launch [...]

Lana BB ! Is that U? U honestly look real good, bb! Is that ur house behind u? I love LOVE LOVE ur Fence! I honestly dream that 1 day I will be able to own my own house, but I have TERRIBLE credit. I applied 4 a new apartment, but the landlord told me that I was poor. It was honestly because my exBF opened multiple credit cards in my name, then maxed them out and didn't tell me for years! He ended up in jail, and I never heard from him. It was emberssing, but at [...]
On the heels of the Album Tacos fad comes our favorite internet meme of late, the Kitten Covers, which probably doesn't need much explanation beyond KITTENS! ON THE INTERNET, OF ALL PLACES!Unlike the
And, according to Nine Inch Nails' official website, that release date is December 2. Mute Records will release the album internationally, while Null will handle distribution in North America. As fot the album art... It's pretty sparse, but I'm digging it; bright white is not the color you'd usually associate with the character of Lisbeth Salander, [...]
The art that adorns the cover of Lacuna Coil's Dark Adrenaline isn't very interesting. But in the band's defense, they have never had a really cool looking album cover, and the music still always ends up being really catchy, so whatever I guess. I think I'm one of like fifteen people on the face of [...]

wilco People just won't quit trying to make cassettes happen again. Wilco is planning to release a limited edition cassette of its new album The Whole Love that will feature a few Hipstamatic photos submitted by its fans. All any Wilco fan needs to participate is listen to The Whole Love for inspiration, take a Hipstamatic photo and name it after one of the tracks on the album. Simple enough, yeah? The deadline for submissions is this Saturday, Oct. 15. So [...]

Yesterday we reported that The Black Keys would release their new album, El Camino , on December 6th on Nonesuch.
Djent is djead. The once-interesting subgenre, like so many before it, has been ruined by too many bands that all sound the same, don't have anything even vaguely original to contribute, and have valued a sound over basic songwriting skills. What everyone forgets about Periphery, Cloudkicker, etc. - y'know, the cool djent bands - is [...]
Wale has revealed the album artwork for his upcoming second studio album Ambition , out November 11, 2011 (11/11/11). The art is simple enough, with just three elements to it: water-colored painting of Mr. Folarin himself, the signature Wale shoelace logo, and the album title (albeit in a rather gaudy font, no shots though!). Ambition will be Wale's first since joining Rick Ross 's Maybach Music Group. No word on the tracklisting as of right now.

Freddie Gibbs teamed up with LRG and released the artwork for Cold Day in Hell. This video featuring Freeway, "Anything To Survive," is most definitely worth checking out as well. Painting a picture of the streets and the hard times the two have endured.

Let's face it. Zooey Deschanel will do anything for money. Music. Movies. TV. Sponsored commercial jingles. Launching blogs. Launching perfumes. Shoe lines. Vintage dresses. Seasonal boxed chocolates. Massage chairs at Sharper Image. Exclusive flesh lights. Obviously, her band She & Him are trying to get in on the Christmas market to have some 'killer' holiday album sales. The guy in her band clearly 'has no spine' OR he just likes making easy money off his indie maiden with bangs. Make some crappy songs, have her sing with her whimsical frog voice over [...]
With just under a month to go until the release of his second studio album, Drake took to his blog to unveil the album cover for Take Care . Sitting at a plush table and surrounded by gold objects and expensive-looking art, the Young Money rapper stares intently into his goblet, appearing to be deeply in thought about something. Here's what he had to say: "Feels like it's been so long. Is life moving so fast in this generation that when we desire something it [...]
Mikey Rocks' solo debut album, Premier Politics , is set to hit the web as a free download in exactly one week (aka Sept. 3o). And to make sure we know he's serious, the Cool Kid has revealed the cover art (up above) and track listing for the project. It's set to include 16 tracks featuring guests such as Casey Veggies, Boldy James, Jeremih, and Shorty K. On the production tip, Rocks and his pals will be rapping and singing over beats from fellow Cool Kid Chuck Inglish, the Alchemist, brandUn DeShay, Cardo, and Tye Hill. You [...]
The first thing I thought of when I saw the cover of Jane's Addiction's new album, The Great Escape Artist, was the cover of Jane's Addiction's old album, Ritual de lo Habitual. Of course, there are some very obvious differences between the two; in fact, all they really have in common is that they're both still [...]
New Mac Miller produced by the legendary DJ Premier, Blue Slide Park Release

Maybe some people could pass on picking up a record with a cover like this, but I am not one of those people. This one was worth grabbing for more than just the cover. Tony Mottola was a very sensitive guitar player (he did a number of recording dates with Sinatra, and was a member of his touring band in later years). The orchestrations are brash and over-the-top in typical Enoch Light fashion. If you are not too hung up on the idea of "good taste" this is a very fun album to listen to. [...]
