So, you know what albums will be coming your way in the next few months. Unfortunately, most bands have their lips sealed for what's to come in the summer and fall. Based on the rumormill and a few reliable artist interviews, today we're talking about the albums that will more than likely be hitting the shelves this year. I hope you're excited as I am...Jim is. Jim is really excited. It's kind of getting weird in here. Bon [...]
Wow, these guys are really fucking up Bon Iver's shit in the 'music to sob your fucking eyes out to on an mdma comedown in bed on a December Sunday' stakes.
JBM will open for AA Bondy at the Casbah on September 1. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter for contests, MP3s, and links that don't make it onto the blog.
National Health Service From: Worthing, United Kingdom National Health Service is the solo music project of the precocious and clearly old before his time 16 year old Jamie Turner. NHS is a brand new kid on the block, so brand new that his myspace site has had just over 500 profile views and he has just 56 friends which is the myspace equivalent of being an unwashed hermit in the Hindu Kush mountains.

As we previously mentioned , venerable indie-jam rockers moe. are in the midst of celebrating their 20th anniversary this year. As part of this year-long festivities, the band will release their first greatest hits album entitled Smash Hits, Volume One on June 1 via their own label Fatboy Records. Putting the moe. twist on a compilation record, the one-time Buffalo-based act went into the studio and re-recorded several of their older tunes giving them an update from the original versions, as well as laying down the first ever studio version of [...]
Top 5-ul ăsta trebuia teoretic să apară în 5 mai, dar am fost plecată pe la niște concerte foarte mișto. Până să vă spun de ele - și o să o fac în curând-, vă dau topul meu de 5 video-uri live care îmi plac extrem de mult și la care mi-aș fi dorit f f mult să fiu în public. 2003 o fost un an foarte bun top 5 #4: perfect live moments 1.

Filed under: Band of the Week Band of Skulls; it's the kind of name that, by rights, should have faint-of-heart folk reaching for the smelling salts and club owners preparing for all manner of beastliness in the dressing rooms. Despite the horned helmet moniker -- and the sometimes crushing volume of their music -- Southampton's Band of Skulls have more in common with Jack White / Alison Mosshart project the Dead Weather than they do with Norwegian death metal. After all, they can partly [...]
Dressing pretty young there, Peter! Peter Gabriel just released Scratch My Back, an album chock full of covers of Arcade Fire , Radiohead and Bon Iver , alongside tributes to Neil Young , Paul Simon , David Bowie , and Randy Newman . Sounds like a good idea, right? Hell no! Peter Gabriel butchered this Bon Iver song. His voice just ruins the original emotion. Peter Gabriel - [...]
Artists have been covering artists since the dawn of rock 'n’ roll. Usually we get compilations of younger artists offering interpretations of songs they grew up on, or Scarlett Johansson covering Tom Waits. In the case of Peter Gabriel ’s Scratch My Back , it is quite the opposite. The album features an icon from the past covering the critical darlings of today to great success (for the most part) . The idea was simple enough. Gabriel sings with non-electronic accompaniment, re-interpreting both popular songs [...]
When we published Part One of this series, we had yet to live through the Snowpocalypse that engulfed DC. A few work-from-home-days (and snowball fights and keg drinking) later, and we're ready for Part Two of our Essential Sounds of Winter series. We think this one has a leg up on the first - after all, herein lie our eight favorite albums. So join us as a few of Indie Shuffle's contributors share the best albums for a cold day. 8. Arcade Fire - Funeral [...]

Indie, so hört man munkeln, sei der neue Mainstream. Peter Gabriel untermauert diese These, indem er Arcade Fire und Bon Iver covert. Kann das gut gehen? Peter Gabriel schenkt uns pünktlich zu seinem 60. Geburtstag ein aussergewöhnliches Coveralbum. Die Songauswahl von "Scratch My Back" (VÖ 12.2.) ist ebenso überraschend wie die Instrumentierung. Nach Gitarre, Bass und [...]
On Scratch My Back , his first album in 8 years, Peter Gabriel aims to shed light on outstanding songs from both rock warhorses (Paul Simon, David Bowie, Neil Young) and from an alternative lineup that reads like a college radio programmer’s wet dream (Radiohead, Arcade Fire, Magnetic Fields).
Il titolo è ironico "Scratch my back" ( Grattami la schiena ). Vi avevamo anticipato l'uscita del nuovo album di Peter Gabriel già lo scorso ottobre. Un album in cui l'ex cantante dei Genesis , fondatore della Real World si cimenta nelle cover di alcuni dei maggiori successi pop e rock degli ultimi anni. Non solo colleghi altrettanto famosi ma nomi dell'indie che ormai (almeno all'estero) sono molto più che personaggi di culto. Arcade Fire , Bon Iver e Stephin Merritt aka [...]
Peter Gabriel's new covers album Scratch My Back is the beginning of a "song exchange" project. This means that every artist covered on this album is being asked to cover one of Peter Gabriel's songs in exchange. This collection will then be released under the title ...And I'll Scratch Yours. That's the intention. Whether or [...]
You may notice a few differences between this list and the album list. I don't feel I need to justify that due to the distinct difference between a song and a full album. These are the songs that I still listen to on repeat; they made me laugh, tear up, dance, think, and morph my own tastes into what they are today. So here in no particular order is my Favorite Songs of the Decade. Picking a favorite song is like picking a favorite child, it changes depending on your mood... ___ [Audio clip: view full [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , UK Peter Gabriel has announced a second London show, performing tracks from new album 'Scratch My Back' at the O2 Arena this March. The songwriter and former Genesis frontman will now perform in London on Mar. 27 and 28, following the album's release on Jan. 25. The 12-track album sees Gabriel reinterpret other artist's songs, with help composing from former Durutti Column member John Metcalfe. 'Scratch My Back' includes new 'versions' of [...]
Now that you're all completely sick of these lists, here's the bottom ten in my top 50.... 50) Radiohead: Kid A (2000 on Capitol) – After seeing this at the top both Pitchfork and Rolling Stone’s best of the decade I went back and re-listened to it. Being a fan of melodic guitar rock, I only enjoy listening to four of these songs. They were still a great live band around this time though. Idioteque - Radiohead 49) Interpol: Turn on the Bright Lights [...]
Like most people, I didn't exactly have the best taste of music right away. In fact it took a better part of this decade to figure out I needed to re-evaluate my tastes. I had to let go of my safety harnesses and start listening to music that wasn't in my comfort zone. A decade ago I was 16 yrs old...so back then I was listening to angry rock music and angry techno music. Basically I was listening to nothing but Deftones and Aphex Twin. While both amazing, no one can live solely on cheeseburgers and fries (as much as [...]
