Watch music video for Bob Dylan's new single

Two months ago, I informed you about new studio record from folk legend Bob Dylan. Tempest will be his 35th studio album and it will come out on September 10.

"Duquesne Whistle" is opener of the record and also first single from the album. It is nice catchy song featuring typical Dylan's singing. I actually like this song.

There was also recently revealed music video for this track. It was directed by 39-year old Nash Edgerton. Dylan himself appears in the video several times.

Music video is situated in Los Angeles where some young man tries to attract pretty girl. However, he gets into some trouble while doing it. He even gets into jail. Watch the video below.

Green Day had to cancel today's show at Bologna

Well, this news obviously didn't please fans in Italy. However, Green Day can't play today's show, which was schedule to take place in Bologna, Italy, today (September 3, 2012).

The reason for this is unspecified illness of frontman - Billy Joe Armstrong. He was forced to go to the hospital last night and thus won't be able to perform tonight.

Here you can watch official video message from other two band members (Mike and Tre).

Check out new song from Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Gibbard

Frontman of alternative rock band Death Cab for Cutie, Ben Gibbard, is releasing his debut solo album entitled Former Lives on October 16 via Barsuk. It will feature 12 previously unreleased or remade tracks also with host appearances from Jon Wurster, Mark Spencer, and Aimee Mann.

He said about the album:

“It wasn’t a goal and it certainly wasn’t a reaction to any sort of dissatisfaction to recording with Death Cab or anything like that. In the past whenever I’ve put out any solo recordings it’s just been of a function of the time in which I was in. I’m a songwriter and that’s my job, and with every record that we’ve made there would always be a couple of tunes that just didn’t seem to fit in with the band.”

Recently he also revealed first track of the album. Song is entitled "Teardrop Windows" and it sounds a lot like Death Cab for Cutie song. That brings me to thinking that he could just record all these songs with his band. However, maybe other tracks sound completely different and are nothing like Death Cab for Cutie - we'll see.

First when Ben Gibbard announced this solo album, I thought that it will be really dark, sad and twisted album because he recently broke up with actress Zooey Deschanel. But based on this track, I was mistaken...

Tracklisting of Former Lives:

01. "Shepherd’s Bush Lullaby"
02. "Dream Song"
03. "Teardrop Windows"
04. "Bigger Than Love"
05. "Lily"
06. "Something’s Rattling (Cowpoke)"
07. "Duncan, Where Have You Gone?"
08. "Oh, Woe"
09. "A Hard One to Know"
10. "Lady Adelaide"
11. "Broken Yolk in Western Sky"
12. "I’m Building a Fire"

Song of the day: Frank Turner - "I Still Believe"

Folk-punk british artist Frank Turner did a huge gig at Wembley Arena earlier this year. He performed in front of 12,000 people, which was so far his biggest headline show.

On October 2, he will release DVD from this gig entitled Last Minutes and Lost Evenings. You can pre-order it at http://www.epitaphstore.com.

Also, you can now watch the performance of "I Still Believe" (in my opinion his greatest track ever) from this DVD below.

Picture of the day: September 3, 2012

This week, I decided to dedicate the whole segment "Picture of the day" to Reading and Leeds festivals.

First photo features great Dave Grohl rocking out at Reading. Reading and Leeds gigs were Foo Fighters' last shows for some time. I hope that not for long though. Rock scene needs them...

Check out new music video from Green Day

There has been a lot of news about Green Day lately, but it doesn't seem like it's over. They always come up with something new these days so yeah, I'm gonna talk about them as long as they keep doing that.

Now they revealed new music video for their previously heard new track from ;Uno! called "Kill The DJ". It features all band members riding motorcycles across some desert.
The music video is not as good, but I like the song actually. Main guitar sounds really great. What do you think of Greey Day's new music?
