Song of the day: Arctic Monkeys - "Fake Tales Of San Francisco"

Listen to new Kasabian demo

The band have posted new demo on the Web site. However, it is only 44-second long track and it is very unlikely that it will get official release in future.

Track called "Table Tennis Boom Box" is probably just a joke recorded backstage at Yokohama Blitz venue in Yokohama, Japan during their latest Japanese tour. Funny thing about the song is that ping pong ball is featured as percussion.

You can listen to the song here (via soundcloud).

Song of the day: The Flaming Lips - Convinced Of The Hex

These guys are just great. I found out about them just recently, but I know by now that they are awesome. Enjoy live version of their first track of their latest album Embryonic, which came out in 2009.

The Flaming Lips working on collaborative LP

Rolling Stone magazine reported that the band is working on collaborative LP with Bon Iver, Yoko Ono, Nick Cave, Ke$ha, Lykke Li and Erykah Badu. Yet untitled The record should be out in April

Singer Wayne Coyne has confirmed that he has already recorded new material with Nick Cave and Plastic Ono Band. Bon Iver is set to send two tracks to the band in near future.

Coyne said about the LP:

"All these things happen within a couple of days. You set up these [collaborations] in your mind and immediately get to work. Sometimes it just takes a matter of connecting."

He also talked about Ke$ha:

"We knew that she was a fan. There are a lot of these sort of druggy outlets out there that people get connected through."

The Flaming Lips is a band, which always do something different and funny. This collaborative LP looks very special and I'm looking forward to it.

Alkaline Trio's Matt Skiba to release new record with his sideproject

Matt Skiba, frontman of Alkaline Trio, has recently spoken about his side project called Matt Skiba And The Sekrets. My Chemical Romance's drummer Jarrod Alexander and bassist of AFI Hunter Burgan are also in this band.

Skiba talked about band's current and future plans:

"To create a record by myself, pick who is gonna play on it, and create its sound - that was a lot of fun. Of course, I love my friends from Alkaline Trio, however, to create my own rock record has been my dream for a long time."

The band should release its debut record entitled Babylon later this year.

Song of the day: Metallica - "Nothing Else Matters"

Watch new The Kills music video

Yesterday I informed you about trailer for The Kills - "The Last Goodbye" music video. I also told you that they will premiere the video at midnight via Nowness.com.

Well, now you can check the whole video at here. We didn't see a lot fro the video in the trailer because in the video itself, there is not a lot of going on. Half of the video it is just Alison sitting in tiny room in front of the camera. Then she is joined by Jamie and they together do touching poses. It is beautiful video.

Below the video you can read about the song, music video and how Jamie and Alison first met.
