They drove from LA to Oklahoma during 22 straight hours, and took the risk to ring at Coyne’s door without notice, but they were actually welcomed by the Flaming Lips’ frontman
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.
This will only be the beginning of a year-long celebration commemorating the 25th anniversary of this release, and, as we had already announced it, there will also be more goodies for die-hard fans,
Glamour Kills is the pimp of bands lately. Alex Gaskarth of All Time Low is just one of the alty pop bands who hangs tight to this clothing merchant.

The Stranglers are about to release a new LP and go an a very extensive European tour. The album titled “Giants” is due out on March 12th. I would hope for a US tour but I’m sure it would be brief and select.
I can see how a Nick Cave-Wayne Coyne co-written tune could be an interesting thing to discover, but Bon Iver? He is the antithesisof the Flaming Lips!
Twenty years after the release of Achtung, animation and unseen footage chronicles the bands rise to glory. Glory.
From Queens of The Stoneage to Fiona Apple, 2012 looks to be a great year of the comeback album, here are some personal highlights.
I adore this band you cannot hear a Madness song and be angry. G’head and try it’s instant feel good, throw your shoes off and get dancing fun. No one can duplicate them and no one is dumb enough to try.
It is quite close to The Shins’ typical sound, although the music seems to be escaping the chiming signature sound of their first album, while being bolder and a touch more upbeat than usual
rediscover them now and then, its fascinating to try to figure what ‘x factor’ these classic bands had that got them to immortal status. Tune in to their FB at 5pm UK time (figure the math yourself) and get your groove on.
“I’m really proud of that, but I have learned over the past three years of doing this that being vulnerable doesn’t mean you’re weak. I very much want to be seen as a strong woman,”

Brandon Flowers, a very public Mormon borderlines on eccentric but there is absolutely no doubt that he has not only a fabulous voice but a stage presence that simply works
However the lyrics lack any real thought and it feels fake, overdone, and just boring. It’s absolutely nothing special and quite disappointing.
It is the best thing he’s ever released, and not only because his editing and singing skills have gotten better but because it shows off his real talent and that he’s back and better than ever.
As Alyson Camus noted in her “Not With the Band” column, Christmas week is not the time for new music. I checked on Tuesday 26th, no music, then I checked on Wednesday, 28th… still no new music. Wow, I feel so deserted.
Cat Power’s voice is particularly moving during this long and haunting incantation, which seems to beautifully agonize for some lost love, ‘You don’t miss your water/’Till your well is gone’
Acoustic guitar, handclaps, blues singalong, one take on a bus in Minnesota, what’s not like about “Stuck On Fuckin’ You”, Lady Gaga’s Christmas release released gift to her little Monsters.

‘ALMOST DONE WITH ALBUM. IN 9 DAYS WILL HAVE A SONG AVAILABLE FOR HOLIDAY CHARITY DOWNLOAD W O R D ! XXXX’
In a nearly speak sing tone Holmes takes on a really odd group of pop songs and tweaks them just enough to not sound like a lounge karaoke.
But if the MC’s own it- it could be the coolest thing in a long time. Maybe Kesha should have just gone to fetch sandwiches instead,or better yet maybe her only contribution is an occasional girl giggle or something.
Lead by Gang Of Four, the young Human League, but including bands like the Au Pairs, Throbbing Gristle, even the Fall and PiL, it and at the forefront was the Popgroup -a funky, skronky up against the wall ravishing tirade lead by Mark Stewart

a stereotypical jaunt as death haunts you and offers you forbidden fruit and the band is adorable in white suits and the song…the song is glorious. Beautiful lyrics, well excecuted and of course the amazing Dennis Lee, who prevents this band from becoming just another hard rock band.
“We will be streaming the entire EP at www.purevolume.com on Tuesday December 6th and then we will be releasing it a little later for free. Merry CHRISTMAS!!!”
So you wanna know about Amy, right? Put it this way, even on a first listen it is no Back to Black or even Frank for that moment. Geez, the second song is an early version of “Tears Cry On Their Own”. But… it ain’t “Michael” either.
The song, which was written and produced by Beck, is only sung by Charlotte and gets a little help from Ariel Pink’s Haunted graffiti Cole M.G.N. on the drum machine

Dukowski has said to have been a fan of Oxbow in many interviews, while Robinson has declared to always have had the idea to sing for or with Dukowski. It is now a reality.
Alternative Press is by far THE best magazine in print. Their website sorta sucks. They dont update it enough and its slow as a mo’fo.
I guess the world took the day off here, I mean when Trey Songz is the best new reeleases and that is an EP there ain’t nothing going on but the rent, or is it that it never hurts to put Fabulous on one of your tracks

The EP is described as ‘an unholy trinity of three turkey-free new tracks for the festive season’, and the three songs successively as a ‘Motown-tinged’ in which ‘Gruff is re-imagining the ‘Winterval’ through the semi-melted eyes of a nuclear holocaust survivor’,
The beat is fun, the electronic twitter has a fabulous retro sound and best of all? A completely distinct tambourine. There is NOTHING more fun than a tambourine, and there it is in full glory.

M&S are the epitome of pure calm and beautiful folk music. To hear a band with zero talent cover them puts me in an absolutely horrific mood. I can say that my day’s pretty much ruined now. What is wrong with the world? I just don’t even understand.
The teaser video contains a Breakfast Club reference, so it has to be good. Whenever a band likes good movies, it just makes them even cooler. It leaves me wondering what the actual video will be about.
“But the title is obviously a nod and a wink and a lift to it. And I always loved that part, when they would say, “Clear eyes, full heart, can’t lose.” I thought that was really poetic, you know, for a high school football team. So I was just playing around with that
On first listen, Mary J is very good, Pop Goes Punk is worth while if only for a terrific version of “Runaway” by Silverstein and neither of the remixes add much to the conversation.
