The Prodigy will play new songs at Download Festival

The Prodigy are set to perform new song during their recently announced headline performance at Download Festival. They will headline the first night of the festival - June 8.

Singer of the band Keith Flint has announced this news. Flint has also confirmed that the band is in the studio working on new, yet untitled, album.

Metallica and freshly reunited Black Sabbath will headline other two nights of the festival. Sadly, Download appearance will be Prodigy's only performance of 2012.

Flint said:

"We are definitely going to bring the party and make sure it rocks. It's the only festival appearance we are doing in 2012, so we're going to make sure it's really special. We're also going to be dropping some of the new stuff that we have been doing in the studio. It's going to be fucking ferocious."

Song of the day: Muse - "New Born"

Great classic from their second album Origin of Symmetry, which came out in 2001. This record made them famous and since its release, they have become one of the greatest bands.

Scientists: Sex Pistols paintings are archaeologist findings

Archeologists say that recently found paintings in Johnny Rotten's apartment may have similar significance to cave paintings in Lascaux, France from Paleolithic times. According to John Schofield, York University archeologist, Sex Pistols paintings are clear evidence of radical punk rebellion in 70s. More scientists agree that these paintings are important historic and archaeologist findings.

Johnny Rotten painted on his walls himself, other band members and their manager Malcolm McLaren. Archeologists made evidence of these paintings. According to Schofield, Sex Pistols paintings can be compared to early Beatles recordings.

Well, these statements may offend somebody, but I find it really interesting and I agree that paintings are evidence of punk rebellion from 70s.

You can also watch documentary movie about these paintings from Denmark Street below.

Black Sabbath added more tour dates for 2012

On November 18, Black Sabbath have announced more tour dates of their reunion tour in 2012. Probably, it is not full world tour yet. World tour will be announced once the album's out.

However, now we plenty of shows announced throughout the Europe. First show is scheduled for May 18 in Moscow, Russia. Last announced gig so far is scheduled for June 24 in Milan, Italy. Except Russia and Italy, band is set to visit Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Germany, Czech Republic, UK, Holland, Spain, France and Belgium.

That's a lot of shows. I hope I get to see them. I am kind of worried about Ozzy's voice though. We'll see. Check all the tour dates announced so far on Black Sabbath Web site.

Song of the day: Pink Floyd - "High Hopes"

Excellent song from their last studio album The Division Bell. Although, the album was recorded without Roger Waters, it is a good album. Gilmour and Wright did a hell of a work on this one. Enjoy!

Regina Spector to release new album in May

Regina Spector will release new album entitled What We Saw From The Cheap Seats in May next year.

She collaborated on this album with producer Mike Elizondo who previously worked with Avenged Sevenfold or Maroon 5.

The singer announced the news via her Facebook:

"I'm very excited to say that this summer I recorded a new record with Mike Elizondo in L.A. It's been finished for a little while, but I had no idea when it would be out in the world until now. We're trying to get everything ready for it to come out in May (but I will share some stuff before then for sure!). It's called: 'What We Saw From The Cheap Seats'."

Muse are in the studio

Muse are currently in the studio working hard on their new album. They postet on their twitter account picture of Matt Bellamy in the studio:

Then Bellamy tweeted:

“About to start some recording tomorrow. What musical direction shall we go in?”

and:

“Ok, will start on christian gangsta rap jazz odyssey, some ambient rebellious dubstep and face melting metal flamenco cowboy psychedelia.”

Well, it surely sounds interesting...

According to Muse manager Anthony Addis, the album should be out in October 2012, but it may change  and I am pretty sure it will...
