New Releases: 2nd Week


It's the beginning of the year and therefore not many artists release new stuff. The only new album that I recommend this week is The Maccabees' Given To The Wild. It is third album from this indie rock band.

Tony Iommi has been diagnosed with lymphoma


Sad news guys. Guitarist of Black Sabbath, which recently reunited and will headline this year's Download Festival in UK, Tony Iommi has been diagnosed with lymphoma. For those of you who don't know what it is, it is a form of cancer with attacks cells from immune system. Doctors found out about his illness in early stage, so we all hope Tony will heal very soon. Our thoughts are with him.

Despite his illness, Iommi is being a strong man and said that he will still participate at Black Sabbath reunion during this summer.

Watch new Arctic Monkeys music video

Arctic Monkeys have made another music video for song from their latest (and great) record Suck It And See. This time it was for second track of the record called "Black Treacle". Once again, the main character of the video is drummer Matthew Helders who again showed great acting skills.

The single Black Treacle will be released on January 23.

Song of the day: Placebo - "Follow The Cops Back Home"

This in my opinion one of the most beautiful tracks of all times.

Listen to another two previously unheard Radiohead songs


Radiohead have posted another unreleased songs online. "Fragile Friend" and "Fat Girl" are another two demo track from 1986 demo tape ("Everybody Knows" and "Girl" were released at the end of last year). You can listen to them at the bottom of the post.

Demo tape was recorded before guitarist Jonny Greenwood joined the band at Oxfordshire's Abingdon School (band was called On A Friday in that time).

It is always interesting to hear some band's track before they were famous. "Fragile Friend" and "Fat Girl" confirm the fact that Radiohead were talented musicians even back in 1986.
