I will probably not be the only one thinking about Tim Burton and his dark animated universe with weird wood-puppet characters when watching it

’This generation is so dead. You ask a kid, ‘What are you doing this Saturday?’ and they’ll be playing video games or watching cable, instead of building model cars or airplanes or doing something creative. Kids today never say, ‘Man, I’m really into remote-controlled steamboats.’ They never say that.’

So for people who cannot afford the pricey festival, or just don’t want to suffer too much in the Indio valley, there is… Brokechella 2012, at Six01 Studios in the Los Angeles warehouse district, on April 21, during the second Coachella weekend!

With its pulsating guitars, layered vocal harmonies, and an ethereal beginning, the upbeat and dynamic song transpires the sap going up in roots and branches at each of its energetic outbursts of bright guitars and soaring chorus. It is a sort of inspiring and vibrant ode to life, it’s rich and dense, elaborate and catchy, and it captures your attention till the end

Oh my! Actually, Nicki looks a little bit like an Easter egg, she wears both its pastel colors, tender pink, light blue, chick yellow, grassy green, and its rounded form, as she exposes every part of her curvy body.

The catchy tune starts with a few guitar-drum electric shocks (may be to animate the mechanical wooden doll-like woman laying on the table) and some oh-oh-oh-nos before exploding into a higher lever of power-pop chorus, that will certainly stick in your memory cells for some time.

what does it say about your respect for his work if you can tear up the pages and smoke everything? Anyway, the book is in fact a promotion for Snoop Dogg’s Kingsize Slim Rolling Papers created by San Francisco agency Pereira & O’Dell, and will probably be more a collector thing than anything else.

do we really need to boost the sales of fast food restaurants in a country where obesity has never been so high? These fast food chains are the worst of the worst, they are terrible at every single level, at the health and ecological levels, and should totally disappear (I know!). Each bite of this thing is a step ahead on the path of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes

But James is optimistic about the possible ‘reunion’, even declaring: ‘Yeah, hopefully, naturally. I don’t know, you’d have to wait and see. The will of God, nature’s support, I guess. So yeah, maybe.’

Fiona Apple has just revealed on her Facebook page, the tracklist of her upcoming album, as well as the cover art, which is a little bit on the weird side

Growing up in France, I have absolutely no shame to say that what I remember about French music sucked big time! You are going to say you know a few French artists who don’t suck, but every time I talk about this with an American native, Serge Gainsbourg’s name comes up, but beside him, there is most of the time nobody else

Just listen, it’s a very catchy tune, which may remind you a little Bright Eyes – but I bet Iman is going to totally contradict me on this one!

Ivy Dye is currently recording a debut EP, which should be released this summer

Economically, it sure is a very good thing for Indio, and it is not a surprise the mayor is all excited about the news! The festival is growing to more gigantic proportions each year, and they are expecting 90,000 people per day for six complete days this year.

First off, its intro from Joey Ramone was haunting. I mean literally stopped me cold in my tracks. I suppose Joey was a fan as well. Two cool guys suggesting a tune. You’d think I’d love it.

You can now review your schedule as Tijuana Panthers’ retro-surf sound, and garage punk band fronted by a fashion model Kiss Kiss Bang Bang are added to Saturday, April 14 and Saturday, April 21 lineup, and punk rock band Abe Vigoda is added on Friday, April 13 and Friday, April 20.

The song? Thats a bit different. When Sean Paul is allowed a verse he does so wonderfully. Can we swap the leads here? Simple Plan are simply dull and boring, safe and bland.

The Costello live is a biggie, I saw the concert and it was his best in years, Loudon is big, I am seeing him at the Town Hall around this time. Ceu? It’s been a couple of years and I adored her last album. Neon Trees are back! Isn’t it a little early for a new Train? Please say so…

My big song of the album is off my big album of the moment. After years of being less than thrilled by Earle, he has released an album that puts him right back at the top of his craft and a song that can move you to tears. Grade: A+

And since efficient Kathy Bates’ demonstration, we know too well what I-am-your-biggest-fan can mean: There are a lot of guns involved, a police standoff and more shootings and killings than in a Coen brothers’ movie

It is bouncy and happy, with a retro, playful-meandering organ during the intro, almost too light to catch, then the tune takes off with old-school flower-power choruses and fast raging guitars culminating in a fuzzy and loud affair.

The least I can say is that it’s a gruesome and bloody one! Over Marissa Paternoster’s bold and fierce howl, the two cat-lover guys of the band discover that the girl hides a gory habit, and decide to use some radical method to stop it.
