Hear first track from Green Day's ;Dos!


Well, Green Day's first album of their upcoming trilogy, ;Uno!,  has been officially out for 2 respectively 3 days (depending on whether you're from the US or UK) and so far, it hasn't got much positive reviews. However, I like it because it's got everything I expect from this band - nothing more nothing less.

Second album entitled ;Dos! isn't out until November 13, but already now you can listen to half of the first track revealed form this record. It is entitled "Lazy Bones" and it is unlocked after you reach Level 15 at Angry Birds Green Day Facebook game, which has been recently updated. The song itself is decent. You can hear it here via Green Day Authority website.

Hear Alanis Morissette cover Green Day's "Basket Case"

Alanis Morissette released new studio LP entitled Havoc and Bright Lights last month (August 28). This week she appeared at Jimmy Kimmel Live and performed songs from this new record as well as some older tunes.

Surprising to me was when she performed Green Day's classic track "Basket Case". She probably did so because of Billie Joe's drug addiction problems. She even said at the end of the song "I love you Billie Joe", which is kind of nice.

You can watch this slow performance as well as performances of "Guardian" and "Right Through You" below.

Song of the day: Muse - "Madness"

New album from Muse entitled The 2nd Law isn't out until next week (October 1). However, you can now stream it in its entirety. I gave it a try couple of times and I have mixed feelings about it. It is good - they definitely discovered new sounds once again, but I kind of don't like it as a whole. I don't know, maybe it'll grow on me over time.

Anyway, they appeared on Later... with Jools Holland last night (September 25). They performed their first single of their upcoming record "Madness". Actually, it is my favorite track of the album.

First when I heard this track though, I was wondering how the hell they will play this live. I was afraid that they will just play most of the music from synthesizers and computers, but I was wrong. I am really happy they do all this music with actual instruments.
