Somewhat a manic song with a sense of urgency; Regina Spektor's new song 'All The Rowboats' is the latest single from the melancholic singer/piano champ. It's a bit darker with a concert hall feel. But all the same its nice to see that not everything is as upbeat and chipper as her other work.
The video for the song is a masterpiece in itself as well. Adria Petty, the director behind Beyonce's'Countdown' video and Peter Sluszka on stop-motion animation helped make this a very eerie and well-constructed piece of film.
The album, 'What We Saw From The Cheap Seats' hits shelves May 29th on Sire/Warner Bros.
The Temper Trap weren’t joking the other day when they tweeted that ‘Need Your Love,’ the lead single off their self-titled second album, would be “out soon.” Just 48 hours after posting the tweet and teasing their eager fans with a 60-second video clip featuring audio from the song, Temper Trap have unveiled the track in its entirety.
‘Need Your Love’ isn’t likely to be anywhere near as ubiquitous, but it’s still a damn catchy tune that proves ’Sweet Disposition’ was no fluke. Over thick major-key synths, a pounding backbeat and soaring fretwork reminiscent of the Edge, frontman Dougy Mandagi showcases his powerful-yet-fraile voice as he sings about one of the most recognizable themes in human existence--Love!
Grab the bonus track from the new album as well, titled 'Rabbit Hole'.
Una de las mejores bandas de estos tiempos haciendo uno de sus mejores temas de estos tiempos. Todo asi, todo encaja a la perfeccion...y mas todavia si suena Wilco de fondo.
Wis_H you a gL/orious day
Wilco - Jesus, Etc.
Jesús, no llores, puedes contar conmigo, cariño, puedes combinar las cosas como quieras Yo estaré cerca tú tenías razón respecto a las estrellas cada una de ellas es un sol poniente
Los altos edificios tiemblan se escapan voces que cantan tristes tristes canciones entonadas con acordes que cuelgan de tus mejillas melodías amargas girando en tu órbita
No llores puedes contar conmigo, cariño, puedes dejarte caer por aquí siempre que quieras Yo estaré cerca tú tenías razón respecto a las estrellas cada una de ellas es un sol poniente
Los altos edificios tiemblan se escapan voces que cantan tristes tristes canciones entonadas con acordes que cuelgan de tus mejillas melodías amargas girando en tu órbita
Las voces gimen rascan juntos los rascacielos tu voz está fumando unos últimos cigarrillos son todo lo que puedes conseguir girando en tu órbita
Nuestro amor Nuestro amor Nuestro amor es todo lo que tenemos Nuestro amor Nuestro amor es todo el dinero que tiene Dios Todos somos un sol brillante
Los altos edificios tiemblan se escapan voces que cantan tristes tristes canciones entonadas con acordes que cuelgan de tus mejillas melodías amargas girando en tu órbita
Las voces gimen rascan juntos los rascacielos tu voz está fumando unos últimos cigarrillos son todo lo que puedes conseguir girando en tu órbita…
Here is a link to a page that contains music. This is the music created by my fellow bandmates and I. Sadly though, it looks like our days of a four man band are coming to an end, to be run by the three of us left.
I write all the songs on display, though there's only about 2 actual recordings (sorry!).
Granted, Radiohead has definitely had an influence on our music, but mostly in songwriting, and only in the most recent stuff.
So in that case, I'm going to post three links. Two of them are for the four-man band, Northern Exposure. A Facebook link, and a Youtube link.
The third is a link to my own music, without a band, a soundcloud page. Mostly just demos and quick recordings.
The former 90's modern rock radio dominators Garbage headed by flame-haired Shirley Manson are all set to return with 'Not Your Kind Of People,' their first album since 2005! Although they did recently appear on the U2 cover album 'AHK-toong BAY-bi.'
We've already heard'Blood For Poppies' and a quick clip of 'I Hate Love.' We also now have the new, charged-up 'Battle In Me', which will serve as the album’s first single in the UK. But in case you missed them, grab em' down below.
Garbage still play like 1997 never ended, and there’s something weirdly inspiring about that.
Everyone’s favorite arena-ambient, ultra-beautiful, singing-in-a-nonsense-language band Sigur Rós is back with a new single 'Ekki Múkk' and new album 'Valtari' which is set for aMay 29 release.
So, how does the group sound four years after their last studio album (..dont forget about last year's 'We Bought A Zoo' soundtrack)? Still very pretty with orchestral swells and a patient pace that’s made for staring out train windows and falling in love.
This is definitely my favourite series that I am currently writing in my 365 project. I can only start writing this once I put on Radiohead.
It has to be one of the following songs: How to Disappear Completely, Go Slowly, Last Flowers, True Love Waits, Life in a Glass House, Videotape, You or Pyramid Song. And most likely the rest, but these are the most frequent. Especially You.
'Razors.Out' is the lead track from the new soundtrack for the film The Raid: Redemption, which was scored by Linkin Park/Fort Minor rapperMike Shinoda and musician Joe Trapanese. This number, a moody electro-rock ballad, features guest vocals from The Deftones/Team Sleep frontman Chino Moreno. It’s a heavily dramatic song that occasionally dips into dubstep theatrics. Mostly, though, it makes us wistful for the next Deftones album.
I am skier. I ski for fun because I live in Maine, and skiing is probably the funnest of the winter sports for me. But I can't go out with just a boring old helmet...so why not make a Radiohead-inspired helmet? I don't know! So here's my Radiohead inspired helmet.

Here's one more of the inkblot art, just for the people who like them ;)
You're not dreaming. It's finally happening. Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips has finally dropped the bomb that we've been anticipating since January. Record Store Day will be the day that Lips will be releasing a double-LP with jams that feature some old friends and some new ones.
It's called The Flaming Lips And Heavy Fwends (yes...that says Fwends). Featured on the comp is a diverse array of folks including Nick Cave, Chris Martin, Lightning Bolt, Yoko Oko, Ke$ha (eeewwwwww!!!), and Bon Iver, who you can hear on the track 'Ashes In The Air' below while you peruse the lyrics. The video also has some pages from the lyrical wonderbook Wanye so meticulosuly maintains.
The Hunger Games is breaking records (the largest non-sequel debut ever) with its early box office performance, and critics say it’s pretty good too! The soundtrack is also expected to top the Billboard charts next week, which is fun news for Arcade Fire, whose 'Abraham's Daughter' appears. Win Butler and Régine also contribute the orchestral work 'Horn Of Plenty' to the film’s score. We’ve got the full Panem Anthem below, but first here’s Win discussing the track with EW:
“We were interested in making music that would be more integral in the movie, just as a mental exercise. And there’s an anthem that runs throughout the books, the national anthem of the fascist Capitol. So as a thought experiment, we tried to write what that might sound like. It’s like the Capitol’s idea of itself, basically. It’s not a pop song or anything– more of an anthem that could be playing at a big sporting event like the Games. So we did a structure for that, and then James Newton Howard made a movie-score version of it that happens in several places in the film."
Best Coast’s leadoff single to their new record is the title track 'The Only Place', a lovelorn ode to lead surf-swagger-singer Bethany Costentino's home state. “Why would you live anywhere else?” she asks, and then she lists some reasons why you wouldn’t want to live anywhere else (spoiler: the beach!). She’s definitely sticking to that rendering of a California road map + animal characters motif, you’ll notice. Sufjan Stevens and many others known to do this. In any case, get some music below. You know the drill.
