Feist "November Rain" Cover Reviewed

I always thought the song quite good. Which is why I find this jam session version so repulsive. The song and the band are very similar to the stage shown in this video. An overcrowded mess, like a dorm room floor.

"Shake" Yin Yang Twins (ft Pitbull), Reviewed

The song shake “Shake” is a hot mess of thumps and bongo stuff peppered with some filth and a nice dash of Mr 305. This thing is six years old released in 2006, it never made it past the #41 spot on Billboard but what the hell do they know about music anyway?

Panda Bear's New Video

an abstract experience going on the trippy psychedelic side, with a few close-ups of human and canine lips and wet tongues that can make you borderline uncomfortable

Brokencyde – "Whoa!" Reviewed

The duck lipped girls doing the snake are so bland and bored that I wonder if the band slipped them all ruffies to get them to even get on camera. The cheap location the repetition of the mundane track and the lack of testosterone in the vocal make me wonder how these guys still have a label.

Karmin “Crash Your Party”, Reviewed

it sounds like a cross between Matt & Kim, Jessie J, and Nicki Minaj; this is what Karmin describes as Swag Pop. Now, this may sound like quite the perplexing combination of sounds, and trust me: I’m not the biggest fan of Nicki or Jessie, but it is this strange sound that makes Karmin so unique

Alesana, "Lullaby of The Crucified", Video Review

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.

A Regular Guy? Grieves

Melodic story telling from such a young face. There must be some history there. The video below for “Boogie Man”, describes fear so eloquently that I cant help wondering what has scared Grieves so deeply that he can convey his message like this.

New Kate Bush Video

“Fifty Words For Snow” a cute Eskimo themed ditty if youre so inclined to abstract. Head over to NPR, those highbrows are toasting it with Perrier and wearing sweatervests about it. Me? A bit to ethereal a little too ‘hipper than you’

The Black Lips video for Raw Meat, Reviewed

‘Raw Meat’ is one of these poppy-sunny-surfy-catchy songs that fill their album, and Director Phil Pinto chose to turn down the brightness of the tune with a black and white movie, and the guys behaving more or less like some reincarnation of the Beastie Boys singing a Ramones-inspired tune.

You Me At Six "Bite My Tongue", Reviewed

You Me At Six, is a great band but uh oh, someone needs to put them back on track. The song begins well enough with a powerful beat and deep sound but the chorus? The chorus is the most dreadful generic rock band inspired wavelength of vomit I have heard in a great while. Its as if they just said ‘aww fuckit’ and threw it on tape.

Foster The People, "Call It What You Want," Video Review

Could you get more cool than having your Wikipedia page explain your band name as follows “Mark Foster originally named his band Foster & the People, but people misheard it as “Foster the People”. Eventually, he took to the nurturing image it evoked of “taking care” of the people, so the name stuck” I think not and their latest video just proves that the band has lost its fringe.
