Well, I know it's been a while since I posted something new. However, I've been busy with school and also with other personal stuff. Nevertheless, I decided to start over again with start of a new month. I promised myself that I will always find time to write about my love - music, on daily basis with an exception of weekends. So, prepare for tomorrow's dose of music news.
Bruce Springsteen recently released new album Wrecking Ball. He was a host of Jimmy Fallon's talkshow and they together performed LMFAO's "Sexy And I Know It". Watch the country performance of the song here. Also, Jimmy Fallon is dressed as Neil Young, which makes the whole video even cooler.
The Subways made a video for their new singe "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang", which will be released on May 7. There will be also limited special 7'' edition.
The music video was directed by Blake Claridge who also directed their previous video for their first single from their last record Money And Celebrity "We Don't Need Money To Have A Good Time".
Both videos are pretty cool and you can check them both below.

New studio record entitled The General Strike from Pittsburgh's punk-rockers Anti-Flag will be out on March 20. Therefore, band revealed new music video for their new song called "This Is The New Sound". It si second song revealed from new record after "1915".
New music video was made in cooperation with Amnesty International, which is one of the biggest organizations fighting for human rights.
The band made an official statement on their Web site:
"The erosion of human rights should always be taken seriously. We wanted to find a creative and clever way to introduce these ideas into the discourse about our new record “The General Strike”. This video is a culmination of that idea, yea, maybe we’ll talk about how funny it is to see puppets beating the hell out of us, but we’ll also discuss the idea that people are being held in prisons without fair trials, and the promise Obama has made to shut down Guantanamo Bay has yet to be fulfilled."
Tom Parker, Policy Director for Terrorism & (Counter)terrorism and Human Rights for Amnesty International said about the video and cooperation with Anti-Flag:
"The passage of the NDAA represents a further erosion of human rights in the United States and we are excited to be partnering with Anti-flag to help get this message out to a wider audience."
The song and video are actually pretty awesome and you can watch it below:
This one actually comes from fun site 9gag.com, but I think it reflects current music situation pretty well. I'm not saying there are no great bands nowadays, but popular music is just shit and people listen fewer and fewer to real good music.
"In The Company Of Wolves" is my favorite track from Incubus' latest record If Not Now, When?, which came out last year. It is little different record for Incubus, but still very good.
Anyway, this track is just mind-blowing. Especially the second part starting approximately at 3 minutes. One comment of this video on YouTube actually says that this is mini-stairway to heaven and I gotta agree with that.
Foo Fighters once again proved how awesome and cool they are. They really surprised all the fans with analog tape stream of their 1995 set at Reading Festival. If you head here, you can not only listen to the whole set but also virtually play with old-school casette player.
On March 3, Jack White made a TV appearance in support of his forthcoming debut record Blunderbuss, which comes out on April 24. He performed two songs from this record. First one is called "Love Interruption" and it was previously heard. However, "Sixteen Saltines" is a brand new song and it is really good. It's got really cool sound and it actually reminds me fast White Stripes tracks. Check both performances below.
Also, notice funny fact - during "Love Interruption", only girls form backing band and during "Sixteen Saltines", only men form the band. I just think that's pretty cool.
