Music is free on the internet, there is almost no value to a MP3, a total paradox for people which value music. And this may be a reason why we don’t hesitate to spend a fortune on concert tickets. Furthermore, we are social animals and we crave for these social interactions that the digital age has erased, and the dematerialization of music has brought us back to the pre-historic start when we were listening to a singer around a fire, technology has brought us back to live performances.

Officially, she died from an heroin overdose and her friend Paul Erickson found her dead, on June 16th 1994, locked in her bathroom with some drug paraphernalia on the floor. The last person who saw her alive was Hole guitarist and boyfriend Eric Erlandson, who visited her the evening before

‘I put an ad on Craigslist that said, ‘Band in the style of Hole looking for bassist in the style of Melissa Auf der Maur

they have moved away from this light melody-driven sound. Their last album, ‘The Terror’, is nothing like ‘Your Face Can tell The Future’ which is featured on ‘True Blood: Music From The HBO Original Series Volume 4’ just released on May 28th via ATO Records

I couldn’t be more wrong, this uniformity, this total lack of individuality and originality is so depressing that I am about to lose any little faith in humanity I still had!

The crowd chanting ‘Kanye’ or ‘Yeezus’ didn’t change anything. So what went on exactly? Did the police order to shut down the projections because they were too controversial for Texas? Was Kayne West’s video a threat? Were they expecting a riot?

you know that 46% of Americans still believe that God created humans in their present form during the last 10,000 years, even when they are presented 2 million-year-old hominid fossils? I know it too well as, when I teach evolution, I come to the sad realization that many people are still creationists and aren’t open to scientific ideas.

I understand that most of these associations were made on the basis of shared initials (when it was possible) because the first letter is a big part of a logo design, but some are very awkward, like Darwin as Danzig… so much to bring Darwin closer to satanic science!

Can you believe it? People have barely emerged from the torpor of last month festival and hipsters still have their 2013 Coachella bands around their wrists, that we are thinking about next year! And all this without a lineup in view before almost a year!

Remember, this is the 25-member group that regularly gives us a capella covers of famous songs, coming from all over the indie spectrum in beyond, with choral arrangements and layered vocals. They can go from Beck to Muse, from Regina Spektor to Phoenix with the same conviction and have been described as the hipster answer to Glee,

Of course, some avid fan did a recording of some of the new ones and you can watch ‘Sorry’ and ‘Heaven’s Ladder’ below, filmed by someone who must have been just below Beck’s nose. ‘Sorry’ is rather upbeat with a catchy chorus ‘Used to be happy/ Used to be laughing’ and a very-Beck bridge, but nothing really memorable lyrics-wise

Curiously, we have a tendency to think that uplifting music or some other upbeat stimulus would cheer us up in this case, effectively wouldn’t you think to console a friend who is going through a bad break-up by bringing him to some cheerful event for example? But hell no, this research totally contradicts the common opinion

People had heard about the news and a nice crowd had gathered in front of the club where the Rolling Stones played just a few weeks ago. Err, no they didn’t cover the Stones, but they did cover The Who by the way, and I think it was ‘A Quick One While He’s Away’.

Now I am certainly no fan of these bands, but apparently, it was a real surprise beside the already established fact that Scott Weiland has really been fired from the band. Guitarist Dean DeLeo had this to say: ‘Chester has a one-of-a-kind voice that we’ve admired for a long time. We know Linkin Park will always be his priority, but we thought it would be cool to try something together.

You can count on Kayne West to stick to humbleness and lo-fi self-presentation,… nah the rapper who has recently introduced himself as ‘God’, has just decided to project a video of his face singing his new single on 66 different buildings around the globe.

With the announcement of this memorial, a few questions came to my mind…. Who will be there? Will the Westboro Baptist Church dare venture in Hollywoodland? And should I go?

A public memorial for Jeff Hanneman, Slayer’s guitarist, has been planned at the Hollywood Palladium next week, and it’s totally free, but based on the usual first-come first-serve mayhem. I expect chaos and thousands of metal fans trashing the place.

Let’s see, with ‘I Appear Missing’, we have already heard four songs off ‘…Like Clockwork’ which has only 10 tracks. Even though they are growing a bit on me, I didn’t totally like these songs at the first listening,… if they are the best ones on the album, I am not sure it will raise to its expectations.

You got the idea, music stars received huge deals for certain products but I bet they don’t even consume them. However, there is much worst, some of these products are actually bad, bad at so many levels that they should be ashamed to be greased by such trash! But this has never stopped them a bit.
