New York Magazine has an interview with Iggy Pop, inter alia: You describe the album as an “alternative score” to Michel Houellebecq’s 2005 sci-fi novel, The Possibility of an Island. What else have you been reading lately? I read The Jazz Ear, by Ben Ratliff, and I just finished Vermeer’s Hat, by Timothy Brook. And there’s a [...]

Its summer again. The clothes come off, tans are acquired (sort of) and, if you are us, you start to listen to soulful, post-bop sounds ranging from Herbie Hancock to the loopy tunes of DJ Food. Maybe weve been watching too many movies about Dolemite and Foxy Brown. When we arent pretending to be living the poppy lives of our funky summer alter egos, we embrace darker and dingier sounds from Indian...

I'm not sure if he wrote this one himself. I don't see any evidence that he didn't, but it displays far more melody than he usually has when composing alone. Anyway, great song.

First of all, the Killers are going to do a covers album . Fine. I usually hate it when bands do covers albums unless that band is Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies, but whatever. Do a covers album, Killers, I don't care. But what's this... what do they say they might cover? According to NME.com , the band's drummer "cited acts including 'Genesis, Tom Waits, a little Cyndi Lauper, Iggy Pop' as...

With all the TV coverage of musical Festivals in recent years, Reading, Glastonbury, T In The Park, Isle of Wight one thing I notice is how remarkably civilized these events have become. All those fresh faced kids in the crowd, children on daddy's shoulders, pop acts like Lily Allen, The Feeling, Paolo Nutini blurring with so called Indie-acts. No irate punters going up to one of the flag wavers blocking...

If that picture gives you any ideas, then you know you're in the right place this week, as the underground podcast is in an especially eclectic and niche mood. Now, don't get the wrong idea. We haven't turned into musical festishists. But we do find a way to head off on to odd tangents and still tie them all together. And although we don't start off with standards all the time, this week we commence...

p2pnet news view Music:- Rock’n'Roll is the world’s worst form of music. And that’s official —- —- says Iggy Pop. “Even a mid-level cumbia band in Venezuela sounds better than the biggest-selling rock bands,” he says in a New York Entertainment interview. Does he mean old- (classic) or new-style rock? Anyway, the interview is part of a promo for his [...]

The good old ESRB is at it again, rating Guitar Hero 5 the predictable “T for Teen” rating, and revealing some track listing details in the process. In its description the ESRB reveals some scandalous lyrical content for some already announced songs: Kings of Leon’s “Sex on Fire” (“Your sex is on fire”) and Elton John’s “Saturday Night’s Alright...

linus.maybe (interesting name...) are a younger outfit out of Switzerland (color me stupid for not knowing more about this country's rock scene) and just released their debut album Attitude last year. According to their bio, the "rock star thing" is what drives the band and that really makes sense. Their music is a rather accomplished blend of pop-punk and anthemic rock, likable to Green...
