Bon Iver will take some time off



Justin Vernon had a successful year with his band Bon Iver after release of their sophomore self-titled record. Bon Iver surprised all music critics and fans. Also, the album was nominated for Grammy several times. However, next Bon Iver record won't be released anytime soon.

Vernon said in an interviw for USA Today following:

"I haven't written any new songs. It may take three or even five years for me to write some. Songs need to come naturally to me and I only have to wait."

He later explained that he will focus on his earlier projects Volcano Choir and The Shouting Matches. He also plans to collaborate with Alicia Keys.

Justin Vernon is a busy guy. He started his own record company called Chigliak Records. He plans to release forgotten records and some new as well via this record company.

Check out new The Flaming Lips track featuring Siri


The Flaming Lips is a band that always does something unusual and great at the same time. These guys just know how to be different and that's one of the things I like about them.

This time, they released track featuring iPhone's Siri. Yes, that's right, The Flaming Lips actually made a song featuring AI application. It is called "Now I Understand" and it is available on Soundcloud only for one week.

The track also features Erykah Badu and Biz Markie and it is actually not bad. It is little weird, but it is listenable.  Check it out here.

Song of the day: The Vaccines - "Tiger Blood"

The Vaccines are a young band that released their debut record only last year. "Tiger Blood" is not on the record because it was released lin December as part of Wetsuit single. This track was produced by The Strokes' Albert Hammond Jr. It is awesome tune with kick-ass chorus. I just can't wait until these guys release another record. It should be this year...

Song of the day: Coldplay - "Don't Panic"


Listen to new Tenacious D track


It seems like Tenacious D are finally back after their latest record The Pick Of Destiny, which came out in 2006. The record was also soundtrack for the movie that tells fictional story about band's creation.

The band has now released new track called "Rize Of The Fenix”. It is only 48-second long song in which Jack Black sings that even though The Pick Of Destiny was no good for critics, Tenacious D will rise again like Fenix. The band should release new record in May this year.

Jack Black and Kyle Gass will also perform at this year's Download, Rock Am Ring and Rock Im Park Festivals.

Check out the brand new song here.

Song of the day: Band Of Skulls - "Fires"


Watch new Foo Fighters music video

Foo Fighters released great record last year. Wasting Light even made it to my list of best albums of 2011. In fact, it may be the very best album of 2011. Anyways, these guys had a great year full of touring, but they don't seem to stop in 2012 either. They released new music video for their next single "These Days" couple of days ago.

The video contains footage of band during their tour in Australia and New Zealand. It is awesome video. It captures power of their live performances. These guys just rock. Check the video below.
