Song of the day: The Soundtrack Of Our Lives - "Second Life Replay"

I got to this song and this band because of television series Californication (this song was featured on soundtrack of the fourth season). I realized this swedish rockers are awesome. Watch great performance of "Second Life Replay" below.

Is today's music overrun by pop?


NME magazine today reported that british indie rock band Kasabian think rock'n'roll music is declining because of pop. Singer Tom Meighan said:

"There's a rock 'n' roll drought at the moment, so I'm glad we're here. People are frightened of making records that sound good on the radio."

Well, actually I agree with Kasabian because we rarely hear rock'n'roll music on the radio or TV anymore. Times have changed and pop is everywhere. I'm not saying I hate pop because I like all kinds of music, but I hate the fact that shitty pop singer is played on TV just because she gets almost naked in her music video. I think that most of the music played today on TV isn't really about the actual music but about the image, style, charisma or beauty.

Where are the 90's? Sometimes I wish I was born 20 years earlier... What do you think? Is today's music overrun by pop or not?

Watch The Vaccines perform on Jool's Annual Hootenanny

The Vaccines performed during Jool's Annual Hootenanny, which is annual celebration broadcasted on New Year's Eve as part of Later...with Jools Holland series.

The Vaccines seemed they were really enjoying the night as well as people in the audience. They performed three songs. They kicked it of with their biggest hit "If You Wanna". Then they played "Nørgaard" and at the end "Wreckin' Bar". Watch the performance below, it is quite awesome because everybody was having fun.
