Koko and the Sweetmeats, a four-piece from Seattle, recently announced the release of their new record Sacrifice. The band, who were recently named "Best Garage Band" for 2011 by Seattle Weekly, released Sacrifice as a concept "double EP". The six songs on side A are reinterpreted on side B. It's free for a limited time
David Bowie's space-hippie, proto-punk, peace freak, interstellar rock 'n roll ambassador Ziggy Stardust character debuted 40 years ago today in London at a gig at the Toby Jug pub. The rail-thin...

"Five Years" is found on the quite classic album called a The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars .
In early 1985, the shift in my musical interests, which had been evolving and changing in fits and starts for a couple years, was ongoing. By '85, my friends and I had our driver's licenses, so there were more opportunities - if we could procure transportation - o make the trek into Cincinnati for music. (of course, funding such purchases was an ongoing challenge) Though MTV had finally made it into the homes of our small town the previous summer, not all of us had cable, so the channel was merely [...]

Tweet "Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes", David Bowie once sang. A rather apt song to be thinking of at the moment of my return back to the hallowed halls of LBYB after some time away. I'd like to tell you it was to do something grand like climbing Everest but sadly it was changes to personal stuff. All the while I was gone however, I kept an eye on the site and watched it go through some changes of its own, and what great changes they were. [...]
Being a misfit within the misfits, Owl Mag writer, Bernadette Harris, wriggled between '90s country and classic rock.
So today is either the day you have been waiting for or dreading, depending on stance on LDR. Personally I don't really care anymore. But that is mostly because I don't care about ANYTHING anymore so that is just one more thing to not care about. It's pretty exhausting to have keep track of so so many things I no longer care about.

D'Angelo breaks out his acoustic guitar in Paris.
As previously reported, D'Angelo has returned to the stage following a decade-long hiatus with a series of European tour dates. Along with a pair of new tunes , the neo-soul crooner has included a cover of David Bowie's "Space Oddity" in his set, as DDotOmen points out. Taking to the acoustic guitar, D'Angelo injects a sultry shot of R&B into the classic, all while keeping intact its strange, spacey vibe (guess that sort of makes him two for two in the covers department). Watch the replay below.
Sono due i live dei The Duke Spirit annunciati dalla Dna Concerti per marzo 2012. La band inglese capitanata dalla bionda Liela Moss sarà il 14 marzo 2012- Magnolia di Milano e il 15 marzo al Locomotiv di Bologna . Al centro dei concerti del quintetto londinese ci saranno i brani del loro ultimo cd Bruiser pubblicato a settembre per Fiction/Universal. Si tratta del loro terzo cd arrivato a sei anni di distanza dall'acclamato debutto Cuts Across The Land e a 3 anni dal successivo Neptune, che li ha consacrati come [...]
I stand by my statement that D'Angelo covering Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun" was a trainwreck, but this is just the opposite. D'Angelo performed in Paris tonight and someone was kind enough to share footage of him covering the David Bowie classic "Space Oddity". He nails it. Maybe his new album will be worth the wait. The video isn't the best quality since it's shot so far away, but the sound is perfect enough for you to enjoy this.
Boy has it been a good week to be a card-carrying member of the D'Angelo Stan Club!! After over a decade of cruelly keeping us waiting for the follow-up to 20002s Grammy-winning Voodoo , the reclusive soul man made his first steps in making 2012 (hopefully) the year of his official comeback, kicking off a European tour a couple days back of which footage has begun popping up all over the Web, getting over-excited D fans all over the world a chance to see the "Brown Sugar" singer in action again, performing not [...]
When making an album, recording live is the musical equivalent of doing your crossword puzzle in pen. It's risky. If one member of the band falters or delivers a performance that's less than stellar- it shows through in the playback and you pretty much have to record the whole song over. There are very few opportunities to "punch in" where you left off in this kind of recording environment. Because of that, engineers often steer bands away from live recording. When it's done right, though, it's gold. The Album becomes a testament to a moment, an honest feel for the bands [...]

Bowie's odd magnetism has long been interpreted as a function of his ambiguous sexuality, but could it be that he was transgressing more than just gender norms and heralding the rise of the man/machine? An older cousin introduced me to David Bowie's Space Oddity, an album he insisted he hadn't purchased. It had mysteriously appeared in his stack of records and he wanted me to take it off his hands; it would have made him a pariah to own it, even if he acquired it unintentionally. To be clear, there once was a time when Bowie was decidedly not [...]
In this latest edition of Discussions, Josh Becker and John Ulmer try to pin down the musical chameleon that is David Bowie. JOSH BECKER: So how did you first get into David Bowie? JOHN ULMER: I'm trying to remember the exact point in time where I fully delved into his music... I suppose my earliest exposure to Bowie in general, as embarrassing as this may be, was through the movie Labyrinth . It was my older sister's favourite film growing up, so I used to watch it [...]

Rolling Stone magazine take it back 40 years and have put a '70s jpeg of the DAVID BOWIE on the cover of their February 012 issue. Terrible right ? Fan-made or intern cut n pasted ? Btw it's ridiculous how ridiculously good looking the he-singer still is.
Sunday was a day of rediscovery for me. It had been years since I listened to Doolittle , the 1989 breakthrough album by Pixies, in its entirety. So many that I'd nearly forgotten what a fantastic album it is. Then yesterday, on the way home from my morning run, my iPod shuffle landed on "Debaser," the opening track, and it all came flooding back to me. What was it about Doolittle that made it such a perfect album, so much so that when I started to listen to it for the first time in [...]
