The Kills revealed new music video

Duo The Kills has been celebrating their 10th anniversary this year. For this occasion, they played an amazing gig at New York City's Terminal 5 at the beginning of this year and they also just recently released a photo book, which features a lot of photos from their 10-year existence as a band.

During their career, they have so far released four studio albums - Keep on Your Mean Side (2003), No Wow (2005), Midnight Boom (2008) and Blood Pressures (2011) (you can read a mini review here).

Track called "Wild Charms" comes from their latest effort. They recently made a music video for this song. Piece directed by Kenneth Cappello is a simple, short music video, which features just Jamie Hince smoking and drinking. Check it out below.

Placebo will release new EP

British band Placebo is one of my favorite bands of all times. I really love these guys and love how passionate they are about their music. I also love their love performances, which are many times better than studio versions. I had a chance to see them live in 2009 in Czech Republic at Rock for People festival.

Their last sixth studio album entitled Battle For The Sun came out in June of 2009. Since then they released redux edition of this record, EP Live At Angkor Wat (which is an amazing live EP),  and also live DVD We Come in Pieces (it came out on October 31, 2011).

This means that all the Placebo fans have been waiting for new full-length album for more than 3 years and it seem like they will have to wait more - band has recently announced that they will release new EP.

It is entitled B3EP and it will be out on October 15, 2012. It will feature five brand new tracks: "B3", "I Know You Want To Stop", "The Extra", "I.K.W.Y.L." and "Time Is Money".

The band also announced interesting competition where people are asked to create their own artwork of the album. Winner will be picked by the band itself and will receive a framed test print of the B3EP artwork, signed by Placebo.

To preorder the album and also listen to snippets of all tracks featured on the EP, visit itunes store. Based on previews, the album sounds good.

Watch Lana Del Rey sing "Blue Velvet" in new H&M ad

As you may already know, Lana Del Rey has become a face of popular clothing company H&M. Her first 30-second long spot is now airing in Scandinavian H&M stores.

In the advertisement spot she appears in two outfits from her recent H&M lookbook.

In the commercial she sings 1950s classic song "Blue Velvet" written by Bernie Wayne and Lee Morris. Since then, the song has been recorded by many other artists. Film of the same name was also made in 1986.

Although creators of the spot tried to reference David Lynch's film, they didn't get it quite right. The H&M ad is a direct homage to Lynch's early 90s TV series Twin Peaks.

Anyway, watch the commercial below.

Song of the day: The Tallest Man on Earth - "Revelation Blues"

Swedish singer Kristian Matsson aka The Tallest Man on Earth performed "Revelation Blues" for Pitchfork Magazine. This track comes from his last third studio album entitled There's No Leaving Now, which came out on June 11, 2012.

I actually found out about this folk artist only recently and I really like him. He reminds me Ben Howard a lot.

Picture of the day: September 18, 2012

Bad Religion updated their cover picture on their Facebook page couple of days ago. The photo features all band members (including Brett Gurewitz) except guitarist Greg Hetson in the studio.

They've been recording new, yet-untitled, album since July when I informed you about it. Well, it's been over two months since they started recording it so I assume we can expect sixteenth studio album from this legendary punk band later this year or in early 2013.

The band also posted this exact photo on their official website with a note saying:

"The band just sent out an e-mail with a photo of the band (except for Greg Hetson) in the studio to all Bad Religion fans that registered to the mailing list on badreligion.com.

Again produced by Brett and Joe Barresi, the photo appears to be taken at Joe's House of Compression. In contrary to the process that went into making The Dissent of Man, this time no demos were recorded in smaller studios (such as Sunset Lodge in January 2010).

Also, this is the first time since The Process Of Belief (2001) that a Bad Religion album is recorded analog!"

I'm so excited about this record and I am really looking forward to the sound of this record since it's been recorded analog. To follow all the news about recording process, go here.
