Listen to new single from Mars Volta

Mars Volta are set to release their sixth full-length record entitled Noctourniquet on March 26. However, now you can listen to the first single of the record called "The Malkin Jewel".

You can listen to track below. I like the track, but it is definitely not what I expected from these guys.

Memorable...

Memorable... will be a new segment at my blog. It will feature anything memorable regarding music. That means, it can be singer, guitar player, whole band, album, track, instrument, show, venue, festival, etc.

I created this segment because I want to talk about all these unforgettable stuff that happened in music throughout the years. First article should be done tonight or maybe tomorrow. I really want to do a great job on this one.

New Releases: 7th Week

This week seems to lack big amount of interesting new releases. The one I feel like I should mention is from indie poppers called Tennis. Their sophomore album Young And Old is out this week.

Listen to Jack White's b-side track

Recently I informed you about Jack White finally going solo. He will release new record on April 23. You have probably heard first song of the album called "Love Interruption". It is nice mellow song. However, I hope the whole record won't be this mellow and we will get some dirty blues-rock'n'roll.

Anyway, now you can listen to b-side track "Machine Gun Silhouette". This track is more bluesy than "Love Interruption". Check it out below.

Song of the day: Foo Fighters - "Walk"

Because they did so good at Grammies... Here is my recap of last night.

Grammy Awards 2012

Well, I gotta say that I am not big fan of Grammy Awards because I think they are too overrated. In fact, all music awards are overrated. The term good music is not defined by some statue of gramophone. Everyone likes different kind of music and different genre. It is irrelevant to say that This is the best album of the year and This Song is the best track of the year. I think that each person has his/her albums they liked a lot in 2011 and can decide which artist was the best or the worst according to their music style.

Anyway, Grammy Awards are the most respected music awards in the world and I am aware of the fact that they mean a lot for many people. Therefore, I am happy for Foo Fighters (Best Rock Album, Best Rock Performance, Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance, Best Rock Song, Best Long Form Music Video) and Bon Iver (Best New Artist and Best Alternative Album). Also, I am not surprised that Adele won in so many categories because she's got an amazing voice.

Here is a list of winners in categories that matter to me:

Album Of The Year:
Adele – 21

Record Of The Year:
Adele – "Rolling In The Deep"

Song Of The Year:
Adele – "Rolling In The Deep"

Best New Artist:
Bon Iver

Best Alternative Album:
Bon Iver – Bon Iver

Best Rock Album:
Foo Fighters – Wasting Light

Best Rock Performance:
Foo Fighters – "Walk"

Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance:
Foo Fighters – "White Limo"

Best Rock Song:
Foo Fighters – "Walk"

Best Long Form Music Video:
Foo Fighters – Back And Forth

Watch new music video from Anti-Flag

Anti-Flag will release their new album The General Strike on March 12. However, now you can listen to new song "1915" and watch lyric video. It was filmed in Thailand during band's Southeast Asia tour. Check the video below.

Song of the day: Tool - "Parabola"

I don't think I have seen more disturbing music video than this... Anyways, it is a great song with very unusual music video.

Watch new music video from Noel Gallagher

Noel Gallagher and his band High Flying Birds released self-titled debut record last year. And it is great album - much better than record from his brother's band Beady Eye entitled Different Gear, Still Speeding.

On Friday, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds released new music video for new single "Dream On", which will be released on March 12. It will be available digitally or on vinyl (limited edition of 3000 pieces). The single will also contain B-side track "Shoot A Hole Into The Sun", which will be the first track revealed from Noel's collaboration with Amorphous Androgynous.

You can watch the "Dream On" video here:

Dave Grohl's making a movie

Dave Grohl is probably one of the coolest persons in rock music today. He was Nirvana's drummer during their best era, his new band Foo Fighters is one of the greatest rock bands now, he drummed in Queens Of The Stoneage, he has a side project with former Led Zeppelin's bassist John Paul Jones and Josh Homme Them Crooked Vultures and I could continue what he's done. However, now he goes little different direction.

He has decided to direct documentary movie called Sound City. The movie focuses on Sound City Studios in Los Angeles, CA, which was shut down in 2011. One of the greatest rock albums were recorded in the studio though.

Grohl said about the studio:

"That place was like a church. The list of people that recorded there is like a virtual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. That funky old place had the best drum room in the world. The drum sound at the beginning of ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit?’ That’s Sound City. I decided to make a film about that feeling when you put five guys in a room, hit ‘record’ and the hair on the back of your neck stands up. Expect some epic jam sessions."

Trent Reznor, Joshua Homme, Mick Fleetwood, Tom Petty, Lars Ulrich, Krist Novoselic, Alain Johannes, Cheap Trick, Corey Taylor, Butch Vig, Vinnie Appice, Barry Manilow, Frank Black, Taylor Hawkins and more will appear in the movie.

No release date was released yet, but you can watch trailer at soundcitymovie.com. I would say that this movie looks more than great and I'm really excited about it.
