300 preview

It’s only a month and a half away before the movie of the year gets released, check out the teaser preview (mostly stuff from the previous trailers but there are a couple more schene to look at. Oh yeah, if you’re worried about spoilers, well don’t just go out and buy the damn book, it’s […]

new citroen ad

New Citroen ad - Mutation. It’s good to see that they moved their ideas forward and didn’t do another Transformer ad. The Bonobo music is absolutely brilliant. (Hat tip: Pixelsurgeon).

PMPs 2006

Timely “Ipod killers” article, flags up several players that I definitely want to have a look at, specifically the MPIO FY800 looks like a real contender

Stadium Arcadium

I’ve been listening to this album more and more lately and all I can say is that it’s without a doubt the album of the year for me. I know it’s pretty early to claim such things but it would take Billy Corgan and the new pumpkins a miracle of GIGANTIUM proportions to top this […]

Pumpkins Reunite

It’s official, The Smashing Pumpkins are currently writing songs for their upcoming album, their first since 2000. no release date has yet been set, but the band plans to begin recording this summer.

And everything in this world just became THAT much better. I actually have a Smashing Pumpkins project I’ve been meaning to deal with […]

Placebo - Meds

Just got this album and it’s definitely going to be making it on my best of 2006 list. I know it’s pretty early to be saying stuff like this, but I’ve got a very soft spot for Placebo as they really made some brilliant music in the lulls between Smashing Pumpkin albums during the 90s. […]

Enter the Foo Fighters

See that’s how a fucking ROCK concert should be like. It’s 10 years too late, but at the very least I can say that I have now finally seen the Foo Fighters live. I owe it all to Yasmine and Matt who couldn’t make it as they had a wedding to go to instead, so […]

Local Radio Stations

Whenever I go to Lebanon I always find it really weird but nice how the radio is local and in your face about it. You know what I’m talking about, really proud to be in this city or that, broadcasting live from the capital or whatever.

Ever since I moved to London I’ve not actually […]

Top 10 Greatest Alternative/Rock albums.

So I’m sitting there with Thomas a few weeks back, and we’re shooting the shit, and the conversation gets to music. This is something both Thomas and I feel very strongly about since our Uni days, and it’s great having these conversations with Thomas, for although we don’t see eye to eye on every single […]

Summer Playlists

It’s been a while since I actually went into a store and picked up some new music that I could genuinely get excited about. It’s one of those feelings I remember I used to get nearly every single month when I was younger. I know I’m sounding like I’m 85 but it’s true. When I […]

Cassettes

Okay so we’re driving down to Wales. I get in the car (it was a rental),

Does it have a CD player….Oh shit, only cassette player? Do they still make those things? What the hell are we going to do Stathi, sing to each other for 3 and a half hours????

Luckily he actually had 3 tapes […]

Thirteen Senses Concert

I just got back fron the Thirteen Sense concert. It’s been years since I’ve been to a gig I actually wanted to go to, much less actually enjoyed. I’m not a gig person in general, simply I guess because I’ve never been organised enough in that department to actually do anything about it, and I’m […]

The Smashing Pumpkins

For me the Pumpkins are a way of life. 10 years ago I bought Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, and it’s easy to say that my life changed from that day. Yes I’d heard of the Smashing Pumpkins before that, in fact I’d seen the ‘Today’ video clip waay before then, but I was […]

Thirteen Senses

Hmm I better not jinx this, but so far it’s two in two for music this week. Laurent comes into my room and hands me a CD.

‘Listen to this I think you’ll like it’
‘Where’d you hear about it?’
‘On the tube.’

I didn’t get round to listening to the album till Saturday, and god damn is […]

Moby: HOTEL

Oh my it’s been a while since I was excited about new music. In fact the last time I talked about new music was in this post here. While at work, I keep tabs on Greece, while listening to RedFM. It’s my local station in Athens, and while the ads are shit, and the audio […]

Prodigy - Always outnumbered Never Outgunned

Prodigy’s new album, Always outnumbered never outgunned is out after god knows how long, actually it’s been 8 years. 1996 was when Fat of the Land came out. Long time coming boys long time coming, just ordered it, truely makes me wonder why anyone would buy cds from record stores, the difference in price is […]

Lacuna Coil > Enter the Coil

Lacuna Coil Official Website

Lacuna Coil, fantastic band from deepest Italy, very gothic, very melodic and very in your face. I really love women singers in rock bands, always have, and if they look any good, that’s just a bonus.
