Win An Autographed Copy Of The Gaslight Anthem’s “The ’59 Sound”

March 18th, 2009

Late last summer I told you guys about The Gaslight Anthem‘s white hot album The ’59 Sound, which graced dozens of critics’ “Best of 2008″ lists and satisfied true blue punk rock fans everywhere with its solid rock jams and gooey hooks. I’m hard pressed to find a single media outlet that’s given The ’59 [...]

New Depeche Mode Ballad: Come Back

March 16th, 2009

As a Depeche Mode superfan, I adore the new, reworked studio version of Come Back, which was written by Dave Gahan and his usual cowriters, Christian Eigner and Andrew Phillpott. It reminds me of something that’d belong on SOFAD or Ultra. It’s especially beautiful when Martin Gore kicks in with the harmonies towards the middle [...]

Pixies Reunion: How do you feel when your favourite band reunites?

March 13th, 2009

In 2004 when The Pixies, a longtime favourite of mine, announced they were reuniting for a big tour, my only emotion was disappointment. No, I wasn’t eager to see them reunite.

Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, the upcoming fourth studio album from Versaille, France’s Phoenix, surfaced early last night, nearly three months before its May 26 release date. While everybody’s busy orgasming over 1901, which the band released for free download via their website at the end of February, I’ve already replaced it with what’ll be the album’s [...]

Earworm Of The Week: Peter, Bjorn And John – Nothing To Worry About

March 11th, 2009

Remember Peter, Bjorn And John? They had massive traction for nearly TWO YEARS with their peskingly catchy single Young Folks (which I would have enjoyed if not for the whistling – if you know me at all you know I loathe whistling, and the only whistling song I can tolerate is Guns ‘N Roses’ Patience), [...]
