Thom Yorke - Blog / Thom Yorke :: 4 October 2009 (Concert Photos) In the background that’s Darth Vader’s lightsaber about to make Thom Yorke MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU COULD POSSIBLY IMAGINE. Wherein Thom covers the entirety of A Rush of Blood to the Head in less than four minutes. It sounds like spinning plates. Just give me the signal and I’ll shoot out a slap-bass solo like it’s no thing. Gotten so any Thom, Dick, or Harry with a terrible neck beard can just get on stage without proper grooming? No respect. As Thom nodded off mid-strum, Boogz thought it’d be the perfect time to get in close without waking him u… ... Daniel Johnston - Daniel Johnston Working On New Material Cult legend Daniel Johnston is currently working on new material for an upcoming album release. According to an interview with Clash Music, Johnston is working on a record called ‘The Death Of Satan’. “We’re very excited about that. It's my old group here in Texas and we’ve played together for a long time,” he told the website. “We’ve been together for like eight years, and this is our most professional release. I enjoy it very much I think people will like it a lot.” Johnston is a fast worker. His last album was ‘Is And Always Was’, released earlier this year (2009). Johnston... Pink Floyd - Flaming Lips Do Pink Floyd The Oklahoma City rock legends are planning to fully redo Pink Floyd's 1973 masterpiece, Dark Side of the Moon. I currently live 20 minutes from the Lips' hometown (and the alley in their namesake) and more than a few people around here seem to have sipped from the Wayne Coyne Kool-Aid, especially when the Halloween parade rolls around. It's a spectacle, famous for its 1000 torch-toting skeletons. I came in a little over a year ago as a baby Okie, and thus a Lips newbie. It's easy to get wrapped up in the show of it all, but the important thing... Massive Attack - Massive Attack - Splitting The Atom EP It's been six years since their last studio album '100th Window' was released to a muted critical response, and aside from a solitary new track which appeared on their Greatest Hits collection, this is the first fresh material to appear since then. Opener 'Splitting The Atom' features the distinctive tones of Horace Andy who shares space on the microphone with 3D, Daddy G and a barely audible Damon Albarn. Its sound is reminiscent of their 'Blue Lines' period but it smacks of an unedited stoned-out jam session devoid of flair or focus. Next up it's the turn of Tunde from TV... Air - Air WEEKEND VIDEO"Sing Sang Sung"Love 22009iTunesA decade ago, when Air was delivering its extraordinary debut, Moon Safari, the notion of French pop was a punch line. Since then, there's been a gold rush of distinctive French music made by Daft Punk, Cassius, Phoenix, M83, Mellow, Justice, and others. Air is still at it, with Nicholas Godin and JB Dunckel continually refining their delicate matrix of electronic cool, vocal androgyny and silken melody. The immediacy of Moon Safari is lacking on the duo’s fifth studio album, Love 2, with a couple of... Radiohead - Radiohead and the Grizzly Bear It’ll be a big night in Toronto tomorrow night…Radiohead is here…Radiohead is here. For many, this is the concert event of the summer. Fresh off an innovative release of their most recent album " In Rainbows " Radiohead will marvel, confuse, dazzle and amaze tomorrow night at the Molson Amphitheatre. Don’t have tickets? Unfortunately, tomorrow nights show is not a ‘pay what you want’ and tickets are sold out, so if you’re planning on getting scalper tickets, bring both of your wallets. But one thing will be certain…this show will be worth every penny. New York’s Grizzly Bear will open the show with... James Blunt - One EskimO: s/t It's a hard life for those London-based singer-songwriters nowadays. Kristian Leontiou seemingly had it all pointing forwards back in 2004. He'd had a top 10 single in the U.K, he had album covers with him staring ponderously out of a window as if to say 'these are my thoughts on the world'. Said solo album had sold in excess of 150,000 copies and he was meeting with famed industry executive L.A Reid in the States. Despite all of this, or perhaps because of all this, Leontiou decided a change was needed. Long story short: he got a band, went a little bit... LED ZEPPELIN - Cream’s Jack Bruce Receives Death Threats Jonathan Barnes of East Anglian Daily Times reports: Former CREAM bassist Jack Bruce has revealed how he received “death threats” after daring to criticize rock giants LED ZEPPELIN.Bruce made headlines across the world in May after describing the band who reunited for a one-off concert in 2007 as “crap.”Speaking to the press at an awards ceremony, Bruce described LED ZEPPELIN’s reunion gig at the 02 Arena as “lame” and chided them, “You’re crap and you’ll never be anything else. CREAM is 10 times the band LED ZEPPELIN is.”Bruce, who lives near the Suffolk-Essex border, said he could not believe... Yo La Tengo - Review: Yo La Tengo - Popular Songs If rock and roll were fantasy football, then Yo La Tengo would be the players that everyone tries to draft. For thirteen albums, the band have been critical darlings for good reason: they deliver consistent results and exquisite songcraft with each release. The band is at a point where you don�t really run the risk of releasing a bad album; they are minor fluctuations of good to great with the disappointments generally coming on the heels of an offering that�s been deemed above average, based on their own lofty curve. Album fourteen, Popular Songs, finds the band delivering yet another... Coldplay - Girls Aloud will not change Coldplay set GIRLS ALOUD have said they won't be changing their set to please Coldplay fans. The all-girl group are supporting the band for their two concerts at Wembley Stadium this weekend but they insisted they won't make any concessions and get rid of their pop sound. Member Nicola Roberts said: "Coldplay asked us to do the gig because they like what we do. "So for us to turn around and scrap a few songs and do a few covers to try and please the crowd - that's not what Girls Aloud are about at all." Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, she said they were... |
