Song of the day: The Kooks - "Junk Of The Heart"

The Kooks released third studio record last year entitled Junk Of The Heart. This is album's title track performed live. Great acoustic version of this fine song.

I will actually see these guys live for the second time in my life this summer at Rock For People festival. They are really great live band.

Guns N' Roses original lineup set to reunite


Well, what has been rumored quite for a long time is finally now officially confirmed. Guns N' Roses' original lineup, that means no Axl Rose and Reed with random musician that "form" today's Guns N' Roses, but all original members will reunite for their induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in April. Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beastie Boys and Faces/Small Faces will be also inducted at the ceremony in Cleveland, Ohio, on April 14.

Keyboard player who joined the band in 1990 Dizzy Reed has told following:

"I know that all the original band is going to be there. I don't know exactly what's going to go down. It's one of those things I'm sure will all come together and be really cool."

However, if you think that the band will perform at the ceremony, you will probably be disappointed.

Reed explained:

"Honestly, we haven't spoken about it. I don't know when or why or how to bring it up. It's not an every day sort of thing. So we haven't really talked about it, but I'm sure we'll have to at some point."

Hear The Kills B-side track


The Kills have recently celebrated their tenth anniversary with show and live stream at Terminal 5, NYC. I watched the show and they were just awesome. They also released great music video for their new single "The Last Goodbye". However, The Kills never have enough and they made a short movie capturing their rituals before the show.

Calming track "The Last Goodbye" was released as a single on February 13. It is available as exclusive limited edition 7'' picture disc or general release 10'' /digital download.

7” Limited Edition:
A. The Last Goodbye
B. One Silver Dollar

10” General Release:
A1. The Last Goodbye
A2. Pale Blue Eyes
B1. One Silver Dollar
B2. Crazy

As you can see, 10'' edition contains Velvet Underground's cover "Pale Blue Eyes". You can listen to this cover here. The Kills did an excellent job with this track. They made it sound like The Kills with same power as Velvet Underground version. Enjoy!

Watch new music video from Jack White

I preciously told you that Jack White will release his debut solo record entitled Blunderbuss on April 23. "Love Interruption" is his first single from the album. Now he released music video for this track as well. It is nice video for this great mellow song. It features Jack White and some females performing song. You can watch it below.

Song of the day: Incubus - "Wish You Were Here"

Blur to release new record



Good, or even great news for all Blur fans out there. The band will release new album after long 9 years. Guitarist Graham Coxon told the NME:

"Blur will definitely record something. We always meet like this and we want to record something. We love recording. We're happy when we do music together. I think that's not bad basis at all for recording new album."

William Orbit should be producer of this record. He has previously worked with Robbie Williams or Madonna.

So, this is quite exciting news. I really wonder what new Blur album will sound like after long 9 years.

Listen to new single from Mars Volta

Mars Volta are set to release their sixth full-length record entitled Noctourniquet on March 26. However, now you can listen to the first single of the record called "The Malkin Jewel".

You can listen to track below. I like the track, but it is definitely not what I expected from these guys.


Memorable...


Memorable... will be a new segment at my blog. It will feature anything memorable regarding music. That means, it can be singer, guitar player, whole band, album, track, instrument, show, venue, festival, etc.

I created this segment because I want to talk about all these unforgettable stuff that happened in music throughout the years. First article should be done tonight or maybe tomorrow. I really want to do a great job on this one.

New Releases: 7th Week


This week seems to lack big amount of interesting new releases. The one I feel like I should mention is from indie poppers called Tennis. Their sophomore album Young And Old is out this week.

Listen to Jack White's b-side track

Recently I informed you about Jack White finally going solo. He will release new record on April 23. You have probably heard first song of the album called "Love Interruption". It is nice mellow song. However, I hope the whole record won't be this mellow and we will get some dirty blues-rock'n'roll.

Anyway, now you can listen to b-side track "Machine Gun Silhouette". This track is more bluesy than "Love Interruption". Check it out below.
