Band have replaced their former drummer Matt Tong for ex-Pearl Jam's Dave Abbruzzes. According to band, Kele's not leaving the band. Well, we'll have to wait for more information, but I think it is better that drummer left instead of Kele. Even though he is great drummer, Bloc Party without Kele wouldn't be Bloc Party anymore.
Song taken from their debut album Ten. In case you haven't seen their recent document Pearl Jam Twenty celebrating their twentieth anniversary, check it out, it's awesome.
Youtube star Lana Del Rey released "Official Audio" video (as she calls it) for song "Born To Die". In this provocative video, she is nude and hugs also naked guy in front of American flag behind them. Official video is coming soon according to attached disclaimer.
The Black Keys will release their new record El Camino next week (December 6). However, it leaked so you can listen to it now if you don't want to wait.
They also announced north american tour in 2012. They will visit 15 arenas in 15 cities throughout the north American part of their tour. It will start on March 2 in Cincinnati and will end on March 23 in Norfolk, VA. Great thing about this tour is that Arctic Monkeys will open for them on every show.

Well, after these two released Lulu, fans actually started hating it. Mostly, there was negative feedback on the album. However, I think it is not such a big disaster (you can read my review here), it is just very different.
Anyway, they made a music video for their first song they put out before it was released - "The View". It
was directed by Darren Aronofsky .
He said about the song:
"The first time I heard "The View" I was stunned, I had never heard anything like it. Half was all Lou. The other half all Metallica. It was a marriage that on the surface made no sense, but the fusion changed the way I thought about both artists and morphed into something completely fresh and new. I couldn’t stop listening to it. Lou’s crushing lyrics, and the band’s incredible licks."
Lou Reed also said something about the cooperation with Aronofsky:
"I am very excited about working with Darren Aronofsky on our powerful video "The View". I feel Darren understood the power and range of the emotions fueled by the fire of Metallica. His strength and spirit are on display in every frame and I think he has caught the anger, rage and anguish at the bottom of the soul of real rock."
Live performance from Rockpalast festival in 2009 of their hit "Hedonism". It is a song from their second record Stoosh, which came out in 1996. Really good tune.
Soundtrack from movie The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, which is done by Trent Reznor, will be out on December 9 (digital version) respectively December 27 (physical version). You can also preorder special six LP vinyl box set version of the record.
Until it comes out, you can listen to one song from the soundtrack now - "Immigrant Song" by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross feat. Karen O (of Yeah Yeah Yeahs). It is a Led Zeppelin cover. It is done by oscar winning composer Trent Reznor, so this version is much darker than the original. Listen to the song below.

Last week I informed you that two former Depeche Mode members formed a new band. It is called VCMG. I also said that they will release their first remix EP called Spock on November 30. Well, now you can listen to one song from it on soundcloud. It is basically techno music and I'm not big fan of it... Although it's got typical Depeche Mode dark feel in it. What do you think of it?
