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:

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.

Watch The Kills full show from Terminal 5


The Kills celebrated their tenth birthday last night at NYC, Terminal 5. The show was also streamed live. In case you haven't seen it, you can still watch it. Go to mtvhive Web site to watch this awesome gig. I really hope this duo will celebrate twentieth birthday in ten years because they are awesome and unique band.

Song of the day: Anti-Flag - 1 Trillion Dolars

Anti-Flag is a punk band with strong political lyrics. This track is no exception.

Watch new music video from Bush

Bush released fifth studio record The Sea Of Memories after long 10 years last year. "Baby Come Home" is their new single. They also released music video for this track. You can check it out here (via YouTube).

Even though these guys probably have their best years behind them, new record is quite good and they still make great music. My favorite song of the album is "All Night Doctors". Below you can check awesome performance of this track. It reminds me "Glycerine" a little.

Watch The Kills perform at Letterman


The Kills have released their last record Blood Pressures almost a year ago. However, they are still strong. It is their best record so far. Last night they performed at Late Show with David Letterman. They played one track - the newest single of the album "The Last Goodbye". Once again, these guys did an awesome performance. Alisson Mosshart's sexy voice and appearance always gets me...

In case you didn't know, single The Last Goodbye is out on February 14.  In addition to "The Last Goodbye" it will feature three other tracks - The Velvet Underground’s "Pale Blue Eyes", Patsy Cline’s "Crazy", and Marilyn Monroe’s "One Silver Dollar". So we have a lot to look forward to.
