Beck Does Lou

The ever ambivalent Beck Hanson has a new website Beck.com and since it's not got a great deal of content at this particular point in time, he's taken to putting up videos of interest. Which at the moment consists of a fantastic and respectful cover of The Velvet Undergrounds classic song, Sunday Morning. I more then recommend you giving it a listen for yourself. I find it absolutely enchanting but I'm a fan of both Beck and The Velvet Underground so I encourage you all to make up your own mind.

Happy Listening.

The Resistance


Muse fans look out! Details about the new album have finally been released. Release date is September 14.
The much anticipated album was recorded in Italy and is set to blow the socks off their previous efforts. Or so is the rumor.
Muse will be touring around the UK at the end of the year for anyone lucky enough to be over there in about November.

delayed days

Klaxons have been rumored to be bringing out a new album since late last year but things just seem to keep getting delayed for the boys.
It's now been confirmed that the lads are happy to wait until early 2010 to get their sophomore album out and into the public's CD players and ipods.
Apparently the lads have near 30 songs to play around with but their lack of a competent producer has left them wanting to bring out the revolutionary album of early 2010 as apposed to late 2009. So while Klaxons fans are left hanging on for that little bit longer at least they know it'll be worth the wait. I for one can't wait to see what they come up with.

Foolish Chicks

The Mint Chicks are once again blowing me away with their brilliance. Check out their latest piece of love below.

Get A Clue

Supposed legends of Oz rock, Jet are set to release a new album in coming months. I for one just don't know what to think about this. What should we expect from a band who blew us away in 2004 with a hearty impression of the Rolling Stones and then stunned us to silence in 2006 with their even more blindingly unoriginal sophomore album?
These Melbourne lads have the potential to do something great, so long as they eventually find out who it is they want to be as opposed to who they admire. I'm positive they have a voice in there somewhere but as to whether or not they'll ever find it is anyone's guess.

These Are The Good Old Days

The impossibly amazing Carl Barat is making the most of his time since his lovely band, Dirty Pretty Things split. In a recent gig in Scotland he was seen to play a series of track both new and old including the debut of a beautiful ballad entitled, So Long.
