Arcade Fire: Suburbs
The fantastic Canadian indie-rock band Arcade Fire have released their first album since a three-year hiatus last week. After catching them a couple years ago at Austin City Limits Festival, I've been quietly anticipating new stuff from these kids and so far they haven't disappointed. Their new album, entitled 'Suburbs', is a continuation...
Read More Phoenix ‘Live In Sydney’
If you're still bummed on not catching Phoenix when they visited in Austin a few weeks ago, don't fret. Earlier in March, the French band announced a free live album available for download online titled 'Live in Sydney'. For more, head over to the official website here for the download...
Read More Ingenuity + Grand Cherokee
You'd be surprised what can be made with an old Jeep Grand Cherokee, a couple of mics, and one crazy crew. Acting as ringleader to this entourage, Julian Smith has actually created a pretty cool electronic beat using sounds only coming from the car with the help of his fellow...
Read More Trucker’s Delight
I could try to describe this music video I found a few days ago but I don't think I could do it justice compared to its official description:
Truckers Delight animated video clip directed by newcomer wunderkid Jérémie Périn who takes the song's title (a tribute to those little pleasures that...
Read More Cosmic Egg
Wolfmother's sophomore album Cosmic Egg has been released a little less than two weeks ago and I've just been able to get into it. I caught a portion of their show live over the weekend, which was pretty awesome while getting to know some of their new material. So far,...

Read More (Remastered) Revolution 9
My favorite band of all time is finally getting its long-awaited remaster as tomorrow marks the release of the entire Beatles back catalog in its newly-produced form. Apple Corps. will also sell two collector's boxed sets in both stereo and mono (in limited release), including all albums and a DVD...
Read More U.S. of Eurasia
Muse has released recently a track off its upcoming album Resistance entitled "United States of Eurasia". The song is a departure from their previous work, but it's not bad despite being ballad-esque. It sounds like they're borrowing elements from Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" and John Williams' "Indiana Jones and the Temple...
Read More Great Day
Paul McCartney's official website is offering the song "Great Day" featured in the comedy "Funny People" free of charge for a limited time. The song is one of my favorites from his earlier (and highly regarded) album "Flaming Pie". On another note, I should probably stop mulling over catching the movie...
