The Black Keys: "Nickelback ruined rock'n'roll"

American due The Black Keys think that canadian Nickelback caused death of rock'n'roll. Drummer Patrick Carney told in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine that rock'n'roll is dying because "people started to think that Nickelback is the biggest rock band on the planet".

"Therefore, they are okay with the fact that the biggest rock band is just bad - and who would want to be such biggest band?" Carney think Nickelback is awful post-grunge bullshit, which has nothing to do with rock'nr'oll.

Well, it is kind of strong statement and I agree that Nickelback is awful band, but I'm not really sure if they cause death of rock'n'roll. Anyway, The Black Keys had a great year 2011 - they released new great record El Camino and sold out Madison Square Garden in 15 minutes.

Listen to two new Thom Yorke tracks

Two new tracks from Thom Yorke has surfaced online. Well, one is not really new. They are called "Stuck Together" and "Twist". These two songs were used for Rag & Bone’s show at Fashion Week in New York City last Fall. Therefore, Twist is kind of older and people heard it before. Anyway, you can now listen to both new songs below.

Song of the day: Placebo - "In The Cold Night Of Morning"

Sorry guys that I haven't posted a lot lately, but my school just started so I've been kind of busy. I will make it up during the weekend though.

Song of the day: Warpaint - "Beetles"

Awesome performance.

Cancer Bats to play 6 gigs during one day

Yes, Cancer Bats are set to play 6 gigs at 5 different places during one day. I know it's crazy, but in a good way. However, I am kind of worried if they can make it through the day. They are hardcore band and that means their concerts are full circle pits, mosh pits and walls of death.

Anyway, they are set to perform at these London's clubs:

11.30 - The Old Blue Last
14.00 - Nottingham Hill Arts Club
16.30 - The Garage
19.00 - Brixton Windmill
21.30 - Barfly
00.00 - The Old Blue Last

Funny thing is that if you connect all the clubs with lines, funny thing will show up.

Cancer Bats are also set to release new LP called Dead Set On Living this April. You can also hear new song that was released couple of days ago:

The Killers to release new album this year

Frontman of The Killers Brandon Flowers has told BBC Radio 1′s Zane Lowe that they will release new record this year.

He said following:

“It’s just whether it’s [released in] the summertime or the wintertime. I think the consensus within the band is to take those things that we’ve done well and really hone in on that. We don’t want to make Hot Fuss 2 or Sam’s Town 2, or Day & Age 2. We’ll maybe take all that stuff, the best of all of it and do what we know how to do.”

I am actually kind of excited about this. Also, it is a great thing that these guys will move forward again and not repeat themselves.

I have a feeling that 2012 will be a good year because we have several reunions (Black Sabbath, The Stone Roses, Van Halen and maybe even Pink Floyd) and albums from bands that were on hiatus are coming out.

Biffy Clyro to release double album

Scottish rockers Biffy Clyro have announced that their next studio album will be a double album. They hope it'll come out in April.

Their sixth, yet untitled, follow up to their last successful LP Only Revolutions will be recorded in Los Angeles.

Singer Simon Neil said to Q Magazine:

"We're going over the top as we can. It's an album about a fork in the road and how your decisions can take you on one path or the other. One path is the right decisions and one path is the wrong decisions - and each album's going to represent each path."

It sounds as a great idea, however, I think it is kind of risky move to release double album nowadays. Even though, Biffy Clyro are great and they are popular, I still think it may not be a good move. Anyway, we'll have to wait at least until April to see wether they've done a good move or not.

Meanwhile, you can listen to their mega hit "Bubbles" from their last LP:

Song of the day: Placebo - "Because I Want You"

Placebo is probably my most favorite band of all times. These guys are just awesome. They are even more awesome when they perform live (they recently released their second live DVD entitled We Come in Pieces). I just love these guys.

Enjoy this awesome acoustic performance of "Because I Want You" from their record Meds. It's beautiful.

New Bloc Party record to be released this year

Frontman of a great band Bloc Party, Kele, has now confirmed that new record will come out later this year.

According to Radio 1, Kele said that the album should be out at some point in 2012. He and his bandmates are currently working on it in New York.

Are you excited about this announcement? I gotta say that I am. Meanwhile, let's play one of their great songs:

Pink Floyd may perform at London's Olympics

Well, dream of many music fans has maybe finally come true. One of the most significant bands of all times, british legend Pink Floyd is allegedly close to reuniting.

They should play at this year's summer Olympic Games, which take place in London. Pink Floyd would be the headliner of final ceremony. We'll have to wait some time to see if it's only rumor or not.

Last time Pink Floyd played together at Live8 in 2005. I really hope this is true and we all see them together once again. Let's be realistic, they're not getting younger...
