Koji, Kurt Travis, and Bearcat just recently finished up a full US tour with Never Shout Never. The tours over, but we’ve put all three artists together for a great new PropertyOfZack Playlist feature. Check out the Playlists and listen to the songs on Spotify while reading everyone’s thoughts! (Click on image to listen in Spotify) IT’S SPRING TIME. SOUTHERN MUSIC IS WHAT’S GOOD. First thing you should know, my favorite singer is—without a doubt—Otis Redding. “Dock of the Bay” is one of the first songs I ever heard, ever learned. Secondly, B.B ...

"I feel like nothing", Stephen Immerwahr deferentially proffers on the standout title track to the  Barely Real  EP and although NYC dreamweavers  Codeine  may never have made the seismic splash their featherweight, if stylistically and thematically hefty back catalogue – here remastered – indubitably ought to have, the very release of this here thing intimates a greater cultural relevance than perhaps initially envisaged and with it, a subsequent longevity extended beyond that which they may once have deemed. It's like an artist whose canvases skyrocket in value in the wake of premature demise although quite thankfully, the band still scuff heels ...

By Zachary Swickey Filthy rich celebs and wealthy oil tycoons are known to hire famous musicians to serenade them at their weddings and birthday parties, whether it’s Jennifer Lopez, Sting or even George Michael. So who does one of the richest men in the world, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, book for his wedding? Why Green [...]

Last week, NBC announced that _The Office_ will be renewed for its 9th season. But even with the Will Ferrel special appearance, the sting of Steve Carell's departure was felt in the ratings.

Mientras la organización del Rock Coast anunció ayer su “aplazamiento” sin anunciar fechas alternativas, España contará con otro festival isleño este verano.

Interesting cover done for BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge by fun and Hayley Williams of Gotye's nauseating " Somebody That I Used To Know " song that just won't go away. I know I'll get flamed for not liking the original, but the dude just sounds like a blatant Sting ripoff, and let's be honest, Sting was pretty annoying himself. Always babbling about his tantric sex and 4 hour long orgasms. Nobody wants to hear about a 60 year old dude busting a nut for 4 freaking hours, and unfortunately for Gotye that was exactly what his song ...

Congrats on your latest project Echo Boom , Cris. Walk us through making that album and some of the inspiration behind it? I wanted to make a project that personified the young generation of today which I am very much a part of.  People my age are not put in a box, and are expressing themselves as individuals who defy stereotypes and classifications. I wanted to make music that represented all of those who are inspired by all types of music and art. Today young people are influencing politics, corporations, and the environment. Echo Boomers very important to society and culture ...

Two people were, apparently, trying to blackmail Stevie Wonder . They've been arrested and charged, but Reuters points out some details are missing from the story: The District Attorney's spokeswoman declined to comment on the nature or details of the alleged extortion plot. Yeah, generally, if you've gone to the trouble of stopping someone being blackmailed, it'd be unlikely you'd go 'they were going to tell people that he wasn't really blind' or whatever, are you? -- Visit No Rock & Roll Fun to comment, complain and kvetch

Smile Recordings is gradually making all of the vinyl only Mindless Boogie edits available digitally. For free. As WAV files. If you don't know, now you know. Here's the Rove Dogs' take on Eberhard Schoener's "Why Don't You Answer?" featuring Sting on vocals. The Rove Dogs edits are some of my favorite from the series. Grab a wav, say "thanks" and check their Smile Recordings 'Edits' set for other goodies from Todd Terje & In Flagranti. I'll continue to post my favorites here too - some of these are solid gold.

Is it sacrilegious to say that on “Saucer Eyes” that Snowmine remind me of a Sting and Bloc Party combo? It could just be that Snowmine has a similar sounding driving guitar riff to every Bloc Party song ever written and Grayson Sanders’ vocals are vaguely Gordon Sumner-like. H... Read more..

Visit Indie Shuffle to download. Sounds like: Young the Giant, Phoenix Song: U2 - Stay (The Temper Trap Cover) [download here ] What's so good? On the verge of releasing a new album, The Temper Trap are popping up all over the place. For instance, they recorded this cover of U2′s “Stay” while playing a live session for the Laura Leishman Project on French radio station Le Mouv a couple days. Originally released as “Stay (Faraway, So Close!)” by U2 on the 1993 album Zooropa , the song was a tribute to Frank Sinatra. Personally, I hadn’t heard the original ...

We shouldn't really be surprised by this, given that it's Joss Whedon we're dealing with, but it looks like that when it comes to "The Avengers" it seems like there's no end to the awesomeness in sight. Whedon delivered a kick-ass five-star blockbuster to an international crowd, and stepped things up a notch further by adding a second post-credits sting to the version that played to North American audiences this weekend. $200 million record breaking dollars later and he's still not done, with Whedon dropping some hints to Collider about what may turn up on ...

Author:  James Waldron Category:  News Summary:  Rocket Man set to play 123 Rocktronic festival The white isle has seen its fair share of superstar DJs, but it’s rare that a bonafied pop superstar takes to the stage. Maybe that was the thinking behind 123 Ibiza Rocktronic, the island’s first three day festival, which has just announced Sir Elton John as its latest headliner. He’s joining a bill that includes tantric lute-player Sting and 90s rocker Lenny Kravitz, alongside established electronic acts like Status">Chase & Status, Azari & III, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, David Guetta and Fatboy Slim.
