No Band For Lluvia es uno de esos grupos con reminiscencias noventeras que tanto nos gustan en La Isla y Dead End, su álbum de debut, un disco a reivindicar. Lluvia Rojo, como representante de la banda, nos visitó para hablarnos de ese trabajo y de su próximo concierto en Madrid. La conversación acabó derivando –cómo no- en otros asuntos. La verdad es que pasamos un rato la mar de agradable. Compruébenlo. LA ISLA DE ENCANTA 377 Miércoles 18 de enero de 2011, de 18:00 a 19:00 , y domingo 22 de enero, de 18:00 a 19:00 ...

The next Playlist in our ongoing series features A Loss For Words, Koji, and Brian Marquis. All three bands are about to head out on a special acoustic tour together, so we thought it’d be great to match them together. Check out the Playlists and listen to the songs while reading everyone’s thoughts!

This is the intro to my mixtape. Enjoy. Smashing ...

El pasado año de 2008 Muse se presentó en el Royal Albert Hall en un concierto a favor de la fundación Teenage Cancer Trust. Dicha presentación fue documentada y el pasado día de noche buena la banda compartió el tema “Megalomania” original del álbum Origin Of Symmetry en calidad HD en el video y audio. [...]

by TMT Staff • December 2011 Our Favorite 50 Albums of 2011 list reflects a multiplicity of trends. Yes, it continues our own trend toward the esoteric (Hype Williams), the difficult (Tiziana Bertoncini & Thomas Lehn), and the overlooked (KWJAZ), but it also trends toward an embrace of transition in a time of sensory abundance, a time when nostalgia and memory have become aestheticized, a time when the very process of music-making has become increasingly audible and our valuation of it increasingly suspect. Trends are often equated with homogenization, superficiality, conformity, and reification, written off by those uncomfortable with change, people too afraid to commit in fear of sinking with a trend once it reaches its inevitable conclusion. But in 2011, all trends demanded critical ears, not only because they hinged on the same impulse that increased awareness and impact for marginalized voices — which, outside the music world, manifested in political occupations and revolutions before we even realized it — but also because trends are as ephemeral as our values of them, coming and going, twisting away from logic and producing ruptures and permutations that disrupt preconceived notions and turn over values we’ve internalized as given. Pessimists might dismiss this embrace as a capitulation to the rhythm of capitalism, symptomatic of a consumer culture whose signifiers are pretty much dead weight in the context of a sanctified modernism. But optimists see this sensory explosion as simply more potential breaking points, increased opportunities to partake in both demystification (Tom Waits) and deconstruction (Bill Orcutt), democratization (Oneohtrix Point Never) and myth-making (Liturgy); more chances to extract new value from traditions (Rafael Toral) and elevate kitsch from the dumpsters (James Ferraro); to prove wrong those who prematurely announced their death two years ago (Lil B, Shabazz Palaces, Death Grips, etc.); to uncover new constructions of the mind (The Caretaker), body (Colin Stetson, DJ Diamond), and spirit (A Winged Victory For The Sullen, Grouper); to find new mediums (The Flaming Lips), temporal ...

The bass line from Muse’s 2003 track ‘Hysteria’ has been voted the best of all time. The likes of Queen, Metallica, the Who, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Led Zeppelin were left in the wake as the 3-piece took out the top spot. Nearly a quarter of the 10,000 votes cast in website Music Radar’s poll went to the Muse track, which featured on the album Absolution.

On this day in 1975, 'Fame' gave David Bowie his first No.1 in the US, the song was co-written with John Lennon. The pair socialised and jammed together while Bowie was staying in New York. This led to a one-day session at Electric Lady Studios  in January 1975. There, Bowie contacted several members of his tour band. First a cover of The Beatle’ "Across the Universe" was recorded. Then a new song called "Fame", inspired by a guitar riff written by Carlos Alomar and the title given from Lennon, was then hurriedly developed by Bowie, and recorded. Despite having ...

Dass die britischen Stadion-Rocker von Muse als eine der besten Live-Bands im derzeitigen Musik-Zirkus gelten, haben sie auf dem diesjährigen Reading und Leeds-Festival erneut unter Beweis gestellt. Zehn Jahre nach dem Release ihres Hit-Albums "Origin Of Symmetry", welches Muse endgültig reif für die ganz großen Bühnen machte, spielte das Trio das gesamte Album vom ersten bis zum letzten Song. Gerade für Fans, die mit dem letzten Studio-Album "The Resistance" nur noch bedingt etwas anzufangen wussten, war das mal wieder ein Konzert, das durchaus nostalgisch stimmt. Seht hier den Auftritt und lasst euch erneut von alten Hits wie "New Born" oder ...

Ten years have passed since Muse released Origin of Symmetry, the album that pretty much catapulted them onto stadium sell-out stardom. Friday night on the Main Stage saw the album given a dust off and a glorious run through but until then there was the pomposity of their entrance to...

“Give it up for the Jarv…” yells Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas from the main stage. Right on cue, bona-fide national treasure Jarvis Cocker of Pulp saunters on, trousers bulging with pride, two indie heavyweights coming together to make this year’s Reading & Leeds one of the most memorable ever. Add to that Muse smashing their way through ‘Origin Of Symmetry’ in full, My Chemical Romance being joined onstage by an aging, curly-mopped axe legend, and the coming of age of The Vaccines, Bombay Bicycle Club, The Horrors, Odd Future and Two Door Cinema Club, it’s a wonder how we ...

Como sabéis, este fin de semana se ha celebrado el festival Reading and Leeds en Reino Unido. Por los escenarios de ambas localidades inglesas han pasado grupos como Muse -que interpretó su Origin Of Symmetry íntegro-, My Chemical Romance, Thirty Seconds To Mars, The National y un larguísimo etcétera. Dos de los platos fuertes en Reading de la noche del sábado fueron The Strokes y Pulp, que tocaban de manera consecutiva y, por tanto, los seguidores de los dos grupos se congregaron en la zona del escenario correspondiente. Para sorpresa...

Muse have delivered an epic performance to help bring Reading and Leeds to a close. That was the weekend that was. Reading and Leeds brings with it vast crowds and special performances, with the line up for 2011's instalment containing numerous exclusive sets and surprise guests. Opening on Friday (August 26th) the twin-site festival swung into gear with a set from My Chemical Romance. Joined by Queen guitarist Brian May, the American group played a rousing rendition of 'We Will Rock You'. The weather throughout the weekend was mixed on both sites, with Leeds arguably enduring the worst of ...

Torrential rain sends the crowd heading for shelter in the tents – and not always towards the best music. Luckily, Elbow and Muse aren't afraid of a bit of rain ... Torrential rain since Thursday has left "beautiful Bramham Park" looking like something from – to use a tried and trusted metaphor – the Battle of the Somme . Traditional Leeds festival fashion combinations such as painted green faces and undergarments worn fetchingly on the head have been eschewed in favour of the sort of cover-all rainwear you'd expect to see on a pack of nature ramblers . Still, the spirit is still here ...
