Watch Bloc Party perform at Jimmy Kimmel

Recently reunited Bloc Party appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live show last week.

After (and also before) the release of their fourth comeback album entitled simply Four in August of this year, they've been on the road pretty much all the time. They are constantly touring throughout both Europe and the US. They are currently in the UK though. To check all their tour dates, visit their website.

Like I've already said, last week they also make an appearance at Jimmy Kimmel Live show. They performed two songs from their newest effort - single "Octopus" and iTunes Store bonus track "Black Crown".

Both performances are decent, but I feel like they lack more energy. Also, I don't like sound of Russell's guitar during "Octopus". In compare to the studio version of the song, it's got much smaller balls. Anyway, check both performances below.

Song of the day: Stone Sour - "Gone Sovereign"

Some time ago, I informed you about new music from Corey Taylor's second band Stone Sour + their upcoming two new albums. Based on "Gone Sovereign" and "Absolute Zero", their new records will be heavier. And I'm afraid it may not be the best move because now a lot of people will link them with Slipknot. However, new tracks aren't bad.

Anyway, now we have here new music video for one of two already revealed tracks - "Gone Sovereign". It is pretty straight-forward video with nothing unusual in it. It is just band playing in front of some people. Well, maybe there is one unusual think about it and that is Corey's really weird eyeliner…

Anyway, here's the video (and don't forget, House of Gold and Bones Part 1 is out on October 22):

Watch new music video from Lana Del Rey

Singer Lana Del Rey will release new EP on November 13. The EP is called Paradise (or Born to Die - Paradise Edition) and it will feature 9 tracks.

Eight of them were actually written or co-written by Lana Del Rey herself. One song was written by Bernie Wayne and Lee Morris and it is called "Blue Velvet" (it was featured in her recent H&M ad).

However, first single of the EP is called "Ride" (it is actually featured as first track on the album, too). It will be Del Rey's sixth single and it will come out later this month, on September 25. The track itself is definitely one of her more dynamic and fast.

Couple of days ago, there was also released a music video for this track. It is 10-minute long music video, which is made not just to impress and please record company, but become cult. Yup, it is as good.

The video is about a girl (Lana Del Rey) who tries to become a singer. However, it is not as easy. She feels lonely and therefore she tries to find home in arms of several men. It is simple and complex at the same time. It has really deep idea. Its surrealistic vibe is just amazing. Check this awesome peace of art at the bottom of the post.

Tracklisting of Paradise:

"Ride"
"American"
"Cola"
"Body Electric"
"Blue Velvet"
"Gods and Monsters"
"Yayo"
"Bel Air"
"Burning Desire"

Listen to new track from The Rolling Stones

In September, I wrote a post about The Rollin Stones and their 50th anniversary celebration plans. They released a book with 1000 illustrations entitled The Rolling Stones 50, made a documentary movie called Crossfire Hurricane and also changed their logo (which is by the way one of the most recognizable logos of all time) to mark this occasion.

However, the most exciting thing about this big anniversary celebration is release of career-spanning compilation entitled GRRR!, which will feature two brand new tracks. First one called "Gloom and Boom" is already available to listen on YouTube.

And I gotta say, it sounds good. It's typical rock'n'roll track like we love from The Rolling Stones. It'g got catchy guitar riff that really gets you. You can check it out now below along with lyric video that was released with it.

And don't forget, second new song from The Rolling Stones "One More Shot" is coming soon.

Listen to new albums from Coheed and Cambria and Ben Gibbard

Earlier this month, I wrote about two new albums from Coheed and Cambria. They are called The Afterman: Ascension and The Afterman: Descension. The first one actually already came out this week (October 9) and the second one is set to be in stores sometime in February 2013.

If you are not decided yet whether you wanna buy the album or not, you can first listen to it and then decide because it is available to stream via Rolling Stone magazine. I gave it a try once and it sounds really good.

Frontman of Death Cab for Cutie, Ben Gibbard, is also releasing a new album. It will be his debut effort as a solo artist. It is entitled Former Lives and it will be out next week (October 16).

And you can also stream it in its entirety, this time via YouTube. I can't get off the feeling though that it sounds too much like album from his main band. I've said it already and I'll say it again - what's the point of doing a solo album when it sounds exactly like Death Cab for Cutie record? Anyway, give it a try below.

Check out Jack White's new music video

Genius Jack White just released new music video for song called "I'm Shakin'". Of course, track comes from his debut solo album Blunderbuss, which was released in April of this year (check out my review of it here).

Crazy song "I'm Shakin'" is fourth single of the album and also my favorite. It's got this groovy main guitar riff, which just makes you wanna dance. It is definitely one of the heavier tracks feaured on Blunderbuss.

The single will be released as a 7'' vinyl along with non-album B-side "Blues on Two Trees" on October 16. On October 30, the single will also get digital and physical release.

But let's go back to the video now. It was directed by Dori Oskowitz and it is actually really cool. It features "two Jack Whites" rocking against each other. One has all-female band and the other all-male band. The director did really awesome work on this one. Check it out below.

Watch new music video from Neil Young

Immortal Neil Young, who is still rocking big time, released new album in collaboration with band Crazy Horse earlier this year. Record called Americana is a mixture of older American songs, which were re-arranged for this album. The album has got mixed reviews, but I think it's not that bad.

However, Americana won't be the only album released by Neil Young this year. On October 30, he and Crazy Horse will release double album called Psychedelic Pill. As album title suggests, it will sound little different than Americana.

I actually really look forward for this album because tracks are pretty lengthy (the longest is the opener "Driftin' Back" and lasts 27 minutes and 36 seconds!) and based on first track revealed form this album - "Ramada Inn", the album will just sound awesome. I really love psychedelic music, especially psychedelic rock, so I'm stoked for it.

As I mentioned above, "Ramada Inn" is the first track revealed from the album. Pitchfork magazine also recently posted a music video for it on their YouTube channel. The video is as awesome as the music itself. Check it out below.

Psychedelic Pill tracklisting:

Disc: 1
1. "Driftin Back"
2. "Psychedelic Pill"
3. "Ramada Inn"
4. "Born In Ontario"

Disc: 2
1. "Twisted Road"
2. "She's Always Dancing"
3. "For The Love Of Man"
4. "Walk Like A Giant"
5. "Psychedelic Pill (Bonus Track Alternate Mix)"

Song of the day: The Vaccines - "Teenage Icon"

The Vaccines is a band, which basically hasn't stopped for a moment since release of their debut album What Did You Expect From The Vaccines?, which came out in early 2011. Since then, they have toured basically the whole world and even had time to release sophomore record on September 3, 2012. It is entitled The Vaccines Come of Age and once again, it is good.

New album has got everything you loved about the old album plus more. You can definitely hear more mature sound on this record. Of course, they didn't change their sound completely and therefore if you are one of those people who don't like their first record, you won't probably like Come of Age either.

Anyway, it is incredible what these guys have already achieved during their three-year career. They are set to go on tour later this month, which will end with their biggest headline show to date on May 2 in London's O2 arena. See all the tour dates here.

The Vaccines also stopped by and played at Later...with Jools Holland last night. Check a performance of "Teenage Icon" from this show below.

Picture of the day: October 9, 2012

British band The Wombats posted this photo on their Facebook page couple of days ago. It captures the band during Pure Volume sessions.

Watch Ben Howard perform at Jimmy Kimmel

British folk singer Ben Howard made a live appearance at Jimmy Kimmel Live show last night (October 8). He performed two songs from his only album Every Kingdom (check out my mini review of it here) - "The Wolves" and "Only Love".

Of course, both performances are amazing. His guitar skills are really good and that's main aspect of his music. Also, I like his voice even though I heard opinions claiming that he can't really sing. But I don't think it is true.
