It was organized by A+R/Artists In Residence the design studio that also did the Ghosts I-IV deluxe editions. The caveat we gave then: The recordings won't be remastered, just repackaged. Well, things change ... looks like it'll be mastered for 5.1 surround sound (thanks, klikger). Another thing we didn't know then: Minotaur weighs 25 pounds, is two-feet tall, and includes penis art. As Frank Black says: I like that the sheer size of Minotaur moves it into the category of... Coldplay - Yusuf Islam to Coldplay: I Forgive You Yusuf Islam, the artist formerly known as Cat Stevens, has invited Coldplay to tea so that they can put the whole "you copied elements of my epic 18-minute song 'Foreigner Suite'" thing to bed. More Coldplay on SPIN.com:>> Review: Viva La Vida (Capitol)>> Coldplay Kick Off U.S. Tour in Florida>> Yusuf Islam Accuses Coldplay of Plagiarism>> Coldplay Sued for PlagiarismDon't get it twisted: Islam still thinks the Brit rockers copped his material, it's just that he doesn't think they did it on purpose. They can't help it if his genius permeates their subconscious,... The Velvet Underground - Beck's Record Club Beck and some of his more illustrious musician friends have come up with an ambitious plan to choose a record from their collection, and cover it in its entirety in a single day, releasing the results one track at a time. The first album chosen in The Velvet Underground’s ‘The Velvet Underground & Nico,’ and the first track ‘Sunday Morning’ is already up at his official website. The sessions were completely unplanned, with no arrangements being considered before they arrived in the studio. The clip even features footage of the studio session, which included producer Nigel Godrich, drummer Joey Waronker, Thorunn... NIRVANA - Nirvana, Roadgrill Festival, Kreator, Nevermore According to The Pulse of Radio, former NIRVANA bassist Krist Novoselic told DailyWorld.com in a new interview that fans should not expect to hear any music from the band emerging from the vaults. But while previously unreleased music may be scarce, Novoselic added, “What there is, is video. There’s a lot of video. There’s not going to be any new NIRVANA records.” Novoselic was interviewed when he participated in an oral history for the Washington State Legacy Project, which is dedicated to profiling influential residents of the state who have helped shape its history.Novoselic did not indicate what kind of... Sonic Youth - Sonic Youth - The Eternal (2009) Sonic Youth has been long admired for not only their huge contribution to shaping the new music landscape, but also for their fierce dedication to making music their way. That's why it's good to see the band return to an indie label (Matador) for their forthcoming studio album The Eternal (out June 9th). From my best count this is the band's 16th studio record in their near 30-year history. The move back to an indie seems to have revitalized the band. Scaling back on the sonic experiments, the band actually rocks out on The Eternal. Punk and grunge elements weave... The Beatles - Paul McCartney's notes shown at Lennon exhibition A brand new exhibition giving the most personal insight into the family life of John, Julian and Cynthia Lennon launches on Wednesday 17th June at The Beatles Story in Liverpool. Through personal on-screen conversations, Julian and Cynthia take visitors on a journey through their family life - re-living the various phases of a story which begins in Liverpool in the band�s early days, and ends with the tragic and untimely death of John Lennon. In one of the key features of the exhibition, Cynthia recounts how she felt ostracised by The Beatles when her marriage to John broke down, and how... Yo La Tengo - I Have It! Yo La Tengo to Release Some More Popular Songs Yo La Tengo, the 25-year-old Alternative Rock Band, are set to release their 12th full-length, Popular Songs, the follow-up to 2006’s I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass (TMT Review) (not counting Fuckbook). The album was recorded earlier this year in Hoboken and Nashville by members Georgia Hubley, Ira Kaplan, and James McNew with producer Roger Mountenot. Described by Matador as "the bravest musical statement to date in a career full of ‘em," Popular Songs is purported to be stylistically varied and "at the height of... Mogwai - Mogwai - The Hawk Is Howling (2008) Hawk Is Howling is the new studio album from Scottish instrumentalists Mogwai.Now with the exception of RATATAT and old Shadowy Men On a Shadowy Planet I'm not much for completely instrumental albums. I think it's my television generation attention span. However, most of the tracks on Hawk Is Howling taken on their own are very entertaining and engaging. The standard rock band guitar, bass, drums are augmented with strings and effects to create instrumentals that really tell a story, without the aid of lyrics.
