I know I posted about Interpol only a few days ago, but whilst trawling through the hype machine for the latest up and coming bands I saw a link to a blog offering the whole of Our Love To Admire as a zip file. Now, I don’t agree with what this blogger did, but he [...]
The new Interpol album Our Love To Admire was leaked in good quality yesterday. I had an inkling this might happen, and I managed to get most of the 11 tracks through various means. The verdict? Its very, very good; I’m going to include a selection of the best songs, but this is only in [...]
I know it officially started yesterday, but I don’t think its fair to say Glastonbury is in full swing until the first band plays on Saturday. It has, however, already been predicted that there will be a shit storm of weather this weekend at the festival site, as there always is at Glasto. It might [...]
Never in my life has a band tortured me this way… Whilst doing work experience at Comic Relief last week, a little email popped up stating someone in the office was offering two excellently positioned standing tickets to Muse’s opening night performance at Wembley Stadium. And the price? £45 each. That might seem expensive to [...]
I kind of missed a large event on this blog a couple of days ago, but I can’t really let 1000 unique visits to this site pass by without saying anything. Thanks very much to those of you who have been coming back to this blog frequently, and I would just like to urge you [...]
French dance music is very hip right now. Oh yes, Britain’s greatest rivals from across the pond are churning out crossover dance hits effortlessly; most of us have heard Justice’s hugely commercial single D.A.N.C.E. by now, an excellent song which will no doubt be unbelievably irritating come August. But don’t for one minute think that [...]
If you have been tuning into the radio or following music at all lately it would have been hard to not hear about the latest band, Battles, who many people are stating have revitalised modern music and are the “sound of the future”. This is a pretty bold claim to make, and I was fairly [...]
I know I’m way behind on this, but I couldn’t let Kanye West’s ‘Stronger‘ pass by without blogging about it. This track samples Daft Punk’s song ‘Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger’, and Kanye evens syncs his rap with the lyrics of the original song.
“Lets get lost tonight,
You could be my black Kate Moss tonight,
Play secretary- I’m [...]
Bright Eyes, now a famous band in its own right, was originally started by Conor Oberst principally as a showcase for his talents. Drawn to music from an early age, Oberst was clearly a musical prodigy by the age of 7 after taking a particular liking to his brother’s collection of the Cure vinyls. At [...]
I’m would be lying if I said the last few days haven’t been very difficult for me. I made a vow at the end of last week to leave blogging as my I had 9 exams over the last 4 days. Well, it seems that there were some forces which conspired against me, as no [...]
It turns out I have got some really big exams at school this week, so I am going to have to turn my attentions to studying for this week. I will have finished by next Friday, but I don’t foresee myself doing any blogging over the next few days. Thanks for reading, and watch this [...]
