The Flaming Lips and The Blood of Friends

‘I don’t have everybody’s blood just yet, but I collected quite a few vials of blood and it’s actually sitting in my refrigerator as we speak. I’m going to try to take that same concept and put little bits of everybody’s blood in the middle of this record.

Retro Elton

The record marks a return to the piano-bass-drums trio format heard on his classic early records such as the live 11-17-70. What? No more dance crap? Can this be happening?

Glamour Kills Sampler, Free Download

So a spring anything seems odd. What is more odd is that Glamour Kills has offered up a really really good freebie. Figure if you’re going to spend $70.00 on a hoodie with a flying pig some free tunes would be a nice gesture.

Rihanna's Special Guest, Chris Brown

Rihanna was probably already feeling guilty when she did not oppose the restraining order reduction last year, something typical of battered woman, and this was a bad sign. But she should be aware that this new move will not be taken well by the audience

Monkeys touching Paul Wellers New Junk

‘There was an inference that I was going through a mid-life crises’ Paul says ‘Which I found really amusing: the clichéd notion of it. And that was the impetus for (the song) even though it isn’t really about that.

GARBAGE ALERT!

The art, well it is generic and nothing really noteworthy. What is noteworthy is that the band sounds fantastic and Manson is a Goddess. Think of how long six years is in the scheme of things. This could very well have been a flop- music can sound so dated and cliché’.

"One Drop", Public Image Ltd, Reviewed

This is not to say Lydon has lost his mojo- not at all. It is just interesting to hear an all so familiar voice with such obvious distortion. Its as if he should clear his throat or something, a warble in the resonance.

Drake Bell's “Speak My Mind” Reviewed

The beginning of any song is comparable to the first time you meet someone; first impressions are everything. However, I implore you to not be taken aback by your first impression of this song. It seems to start off like any other pop rock song but as it progresses, Drake’s passion breaks through the speakers and, trust me, it’ll turn you into a fan.

Dexy's Midnight Runners, 27 Years Later

But is the world ready for more Dexy? I can say with much confidence the US is not. The populace does not have the ear for this sound and unfortunately there are far too many other options, the second coming of DMR will not even score them a hit song.

Killing Joke, MMXXII

Everything is speeding up. It’s not just our minds shrinking. We are heading towards the Eschaton and no-one really knows what’s going to happen.

The Fray "Scars + Stories" and Tour

For some reason these ‘drone’ bands gather up large masses of Walmart shoppers and get them plucked enough to get an applause and some hits. It could be a government plot- but no one is allowed to talk about it.

Oh, The Horrors!

Horrors bring me great joy. They look like The Cramps via Edward Scissorhands and have an incredible cool sound. I’m not the only one to think this either.

Sir Paul and Little Stevie

Stevie came along to the studio in LA and he listened to the track for about ten minutes and he totally got it. He just went to the mic and within 20 minutes had nailed this dynamite solo

Holy Hell, Die Antwoord!!

They consider themselves to be a rap crew/art project. Ahh, you can smell the hipster in the air! But I cant even pick on them too much cuz this thing creeped the bejeezuz out of me.

The Brian Jonestown Massacre's upcoming album

their frontman has such an inflated ego that hehas basically spoiled everything for me. However, if we can pass on Anton Newcombe’s tempestuous character and plain insanity at times, and the factthat he basically has fired his band line-up every year, you still may be interested by the band’s psychedelic-shoegazing rock sound

Gimme Gimme Garbage

There hasn’t been new Garbage since 2005, this is fantastic and its really happening! The new album will be released on their new indie label STUNVOLUME. This means nothing to me just hurry and let me hear it!

Anthony Raneri's, "Cathedrals", reviewed

The way that Anthony’s voice dances on top of the instruments is absolutely incredible and uplifting. It’s almost effortless and puts you on a cloud when you hear it. It shows off his immense talent and it’s wonderful.
