  • Spinnerette Ghetto Love Ep Free Download Spinnerette’S Ghetto Love
    spinnerette ghetto love ep free download Spinnerette’s Ghetto Love. Johnny forwarded me an email last week. He wrote, “finally, something decent to cover.” The email came from Spinnerette , and it announced a new EP they were independently releasing, entitled Ghetto Love . We’ve been following Spinnerette on Antiquiet, starting with a retro review of the last Distillers album, through an appearance with Queens Of The Stone Age and Spinnerette’s first shows in October. I share the complaint behind Johnny’s statement- while all the hipsters are finding so much music to love these days, it all sounds like shit to us. We’ve had to resort to pot shots at fucking Fall Out Boy for fuck’s sake. But there’s this little EP, and another one from Cat Power that’s worth checking out. Ghetto Love is only four songs- Ghetto Love, Valium Knights, Distorting A Code, and Bury My Heart , all of which have been heard online and/or live. But the first two tracks are pretty hot. Bury My Heart is alright, while Distorting A Code is our least favorite. Check out the video for Ghetto Love: If you dig that, the complete EP can be heard and/or purchased here from Topspin (why it isn’t on iTunes, we do not know), bundled along with the Ghetto Love video. UPDATE: We forgot to mention- at their last show, Brody promised the full length album would arrive in February ’09. The photo at the top of the page was taken at Spinnerette’s show at Spaceland on October 29th.

  • Post Pop Depression Late Show with Stephen Colbert
    IGGY POP POST POP DEPRESSION LIMITED RUN OF ONE-TIME-ONLY LIVE DATES ANNOUNCED TICKETS ON SALE TO THE PUBLIC JANUARY 29 ALBUM OUT MARCH 18 “BREAK INTO YOUR HEART” AND “GARDENIA” BOTH AVAILABLE INSTANTLY WITH PRE-ORDERS LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT WEB EXCLUSIVE PERFORMANCE HERE “Post Pop Depression... picks up where Lust for Life left off… The lyrics reflect on memories, hint at characters and offer advice and confessions; they can be hard-nosed, remorseful, flippant, combative or philosophical.”—THE NEW YORK TIMES “A slice of stratospheric punk-funk”—ROLLING STONE “‘Gardenia’ has the same sort of mean, skeletal, machinelike groove that so many of those great old Iggy songs had… over this sort of spartan groove, he sounds awesome.”—STEREOGUM “Iggy in finer form than ever and Homme’s distinctive driving guitar melodies firmly anchoring his florid vocals. Basically: it’s shit hot stuff and this album cannot come soon enough”—NOISEY “Pop gave the song a relatively restrained and poignant performance. The single, from his wonderfully titled new album Post Pop Depression,’ continues the bleak, grooving moods from his great David Bowie collaborations, and it's perhaps his catchiest new tune in a generation.”—THE LOS ANGELES TIMES “Glorious… ’Gardenia’ itself feels like a callback to the glory days of new wave, with Iggy’s trademark low voice channeling the spirit of his dearly departed friend David Bowie. Homme provides backing vocals and typically excellent guitar work.”—PASTE Its existence having been revealed to the world via a one-two punch of an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and exclusive profile in The New York Times, it can now be announced that Iggy Pop’s new album Post Pop Depression (Rekords Rekords/Loma Vista/Caroline International) will be supported by a very limited run of one-time-only live performances in specially selected venues.

Grohl had admired Queens of the Stone Age since they opened for Foo Fighters, and had wanted to appear on their previous album Rated R. Grohl admitted that he had not drummed for a long time and added that fronting a band was "tiring". He returned to Foo Fighters soon after, with Danzig drummer Joey Castillo announced as his replacement in August The album also included the first musical contribution to a Queens of the Stone Age album by multi-instrumentalists Natasha Shneider and Alain Johannes. Another change in personnel came with the arrival of producer Eric Valentinewho had previously worked on a pair of Dwarves albums with Oliveri.

  • PRESS RELEASE First Names for Sziget 2014 the Sziget Crew Is
    PRESS RELEASE First names for Sziget 2014 The Sziget crew is happy to announce the first names confirmed for the music program of this year’s ’Island of Freedom’ taking place between 11-18 August. Queens of the Stone Age, Calvin Harris, Placebo and many more will definitely be at Óbudai Island in the heart of Budapest this summer. In 2014 the ’Island of Freedom’ will take place one week later than previously. Károly Gerendai, founder and main organizer of Sziget Festival, said: „It seems like a good decision that we put the date of Sziget one week later, because now we can announce better names compared to this time last year. To put it simple there is a better chance that bands are on a European tour at this part of the month.” Sziget Festival was once again shortlisted amongst the top ten major European festivals this year at the European Festival Awards. As always, the music line-up will feature acts from various genres, while stars and smaller, but super exciting acts will both be presented at the stages of the event. The first names are… Queens of the Stone Age, the legendary rock band from Palm Desert, California, is known for its riff-oriented, heavy rock music. The cornerstone and charismatic leader of QOTSA is the singer-guitarist, Grammy Award winner, Josh Homme. Their latest album from 2013 ...Like Clockwork has an amazing list of contributors like Joey Castillo (former drummer), Mark Lanegan (regular collaborator and former member) and also Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails). This year they are going to rock Sziget Festival for sure.

  • Joe Barresi Issue 41
    Joe Barresi: King Of The Rock Age complimented the producer on working for the band, and “not for anyone When it comes to the production of volume-to-11 rock there’s else” – an apparent reference to record company pressures. And so, with no-one better than Joe Barresi – the latest offering from full creative control and a much larger budget to work with than before, Homme and Barresi set out to experiment more than ever and, said the Queens of the Stone Age, Lullabies to Paralyze, is latter, “create something unique.” testament to that. Paul Tingen finds out “The band rehearsed the songs at Rancho de la Luna studios [in Joshua Tree National Park in Southern California]” explained Barresi. how this complex, ear-invading metal “When they came back to LA, I sat in on a couple of rehearsals and it monster was assembled. was mainly a matter of me learning the music and seeing what worked, sonically, guitar- and tempo-wise, and so on. Then we loaded all the gear into Sound City studios and spent the first day sorting through it, plugging things in and deciding what would sound good for what parts. We had a massive array of amplifiers, guitars and drums, including some of my own stuff…” Vintage King When Barresi spoke about “some of [his] own stuff,” he was, perhaps momentarily, under the spell of the British art of understatement, for he’s the proud owner of a rather extravagant collection of assorted boxes, guitars and amplifiers. As he put it, “I have 250 guitar pedals, probably close to 45 guitars, 75 guitar amps (35 combos and 40 heads), and countless pieces of outboard gear.

  • Retro Goes Metro: a Track-By-Track Analysis of Villains by Queens Of
    Bennett 1 Lauren Bennett Dr. O’Donnell Advanced Composition 4 December 2017 Retro Goes Metro A Track-by-Track Analysis of Villains by Queens of the Stone Age Today I felt the first coolness of fall. It’s finally October and so far the year 2017 has failed to accomplish any ideas of a futuristic/utopian pleasure-garden. The current earthly climate (besides being unusually warm) is socially dissonant to say the least. Politically—the “leadership” situation is downright absurd. Furthermore, I can’t help but find myself obsessing over change and fretting profusely that things may be changing for the worse. I have found several ways to escape this anxiety, and music is one of the safer ones. And even though I have always been able to rely on finding some sense of mental reconciliation in music, the sounds that have defined my core of auditory enjoyment—my rock-n-roll roots—have now waned. When I stop to assess the contemporary happenings of rock, I am, typically, shocked and horrified to find that a frenzy of electronic influence has seemingly debased everything that I have ever known to be righteous and upstanding in a time- This is the album cover for Villains. It was designed by a graphic artist named Boneface. They also designed for the album …Like Clockwork (2013). Bennett 2 worn genre that, since the 1950s, has been just fine. Hell, I find myself departing, entirely jaded, from the decades of the 20th century in terms of rock-n-roll. I’ve reached the point where I’m just ready to move on to something new.
