So, apparently there's this book series about a wizard. Harry something. I'm too hipster to know what it is or to be a totally massive fan of it. Turns out they turned all 7 books into 8 films, and one of them had this tune in it. Sure, the lyrics are pretty ridiculous (or magical, depending on who you ask), but it's pretty darn rocking regardless. You'd hope so though, considering that the group behind this song comprises of Jarvis Cocker and Steve Mackey of Pulp, Jonny Greenwood and Phil Selway of Radiohead, Jason Buckle of All Seeing I, and [...]
There’s a chance for magic when musicians cross paths. For some it’s groundbreaking ( Aerosmith ft. Run DMC – “Walk This Way” ), and other times it’s the thought that counts ( Nelly ft.

Some stay true to their words (e.g. Jack White), others forget about them (e.g. Dr. Dre). Fans never do, however. That's why [...]
Like i've said numerous times before here, I love Britpop. No matter what I end up listening to now or in the future, the mid-90's Britpop movement will always be my absolute favorite period of music. During that time was when I really started listening to and discovering such amazing bands. Luckily for me, despite living here in Alabama my entire life, I had a few friends in high school who shared the same common interest in everything Britpop, along with it starting to regulary make it's way onto our local radio station.
