Song of the day: Eddie Vedder - "Sleeping By Myself"

I've been quite silent lately on my blog, but I am currently really busy with my school and stuff. Therefore, I haven't got much time to write. However, I'll try to make it up to you next week with several posts per day.

Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder released his sophomore solo record last year. It is called Ukulele Songs and it features original songs collected over longer period of time and also some covers. All tracks are obviously performed with ukulele.

Just today, Eddie revealed new music video for second track of the album - "Sleeping By Myself". The video actually doesn't reflect lyrics of the track, but it shows how Eddie's ukulele was made in Hawaii. It is really interesting how the ukulele is made. Check this pretty video out below.

Song of the day: The Gaslight Anthem - "Here Comes My Man"

The Gaslight Anthem released an awesome record this year called Handwritten. I admire how this band found perfect combination of punk and stadium rock very similar to Bruce Springsteen's style. Many people talk shit about this band because they think they are copy of Bruce Springsteen. I don't think it is true and I just think it works very well for these guys and they proved it once again with this album.

Track called "Here Comes My Man" is after "45" and "Handwritten" third single of the album. Couple of days ago, they revealed music video for this track. It also features very sexy actress Elisha Cuthbert. Check the video below.

New video: Paul Banks - "Young Again"

You all probably know very awesome post-punk band from New York called Interpol. Their musical style could be best compared to bands such as The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Franz Ferdinand or Talking Heads. However, Interpol's music is little darker, so for a lot of people they are very similar to Joy Division and I agree.

Anyway, during their career they've released four studio albums. Their debut entitled Turn On The Bright Lights is considered as one of the most important albums of this genre. The album was very unique back in 2002 and it still sounds brilliant. Sad thing though is, they haven't made such good record anymore. The latest is self-titled and was released in 2010. After touring behind this record in 2010 and 2011, the band announced they will go on hiatus

Main reason is probably frontman's (Paul Banks) focus on his solo career. He previously released debut solo album under the name Julian Plenti called Julian Plenti Is... Skyscraper in 2009. He also released 5-track EP earlier this year. Couple of days ago, he released his very anticipated sophomore record simply called Banks.

It features 10 new tracks and based on my two listens to it, I don't actually like it as much. To me, it is kind of boring and maybe also pointless. I mean, it is very similar to his main band and it just brings nothing new.

Anyway, Paul Banks recently revealed new music video for the first single of the album called "Young Again". You can now check it out below. In my opinion, the music video is better than the song itself.

New music video: The Black Keys & RZA - "The Baddest Man Alive"

Earlier this month, I informed you about new track from The Black Keys & RZA called "The Baddest Man Alive". It is featured on soundtrack for movie called Man With The Iron Fists. The movie was actually directed and written by RZA himself and it will hit theatres on November 2 in the US and in other countries obviously some time later.

The soundtrack for this motion picture is actually already out (it was released yesterday). Day ahead of its release, The Black Keys & RZA unveiled music video for their awesome track. Go check this video out below. In fact, it is as good as the song itself.

Also, if you wanna stream the soundtrack in its entirety, now you can here:

Check out new song from Bullet For My Valentine

Yesterday, I wrote about Bullet For My Valentine's new album called Temper Temper. Well, yesterday I didn't know that they will actually reveal first track of this album couple of hours after my post. It is title track of the album and I feel that we will get more news about their upcoming album in near future, because so far we haven't got any details about Temper Temper and I think that it is time when we consider they want to release it in early 2013.

The track itself is alright... I guess. But like I wrote yesterday, I didn't like their previous album called Fever and I won't probably be a big a fan of this one either. Anyway, check "Temper Temper" below.

Song of the day: Bullet For My Valentine - "Whole Lotta Rosie"(ACDC cover)

Welsch metal band Bullet For My Valentine will release its fourth studio album called Temper Temper sometime in 2013 (no album details have been announced yet). Although I like this band (better said I like their first two albums), I'm kind of skeptical about this record because Fever was quite disappointment for me. And based on their statement that new album will sound like their 2010's effort, I don't have a good feeling about it. Anyway, we'll see.

They recently covered ACDC's classic "Whole Lotta Rosie" during their Radio 1's Live Lounge performance. You can check it out below.

Watch The Killers perform on Letterman

Last month, The Killers released one of the most anticipated (if not the most) albums of the year. As Battle Born was approaching its release date, it had been all over the news (and not only music news). The Killers truly attract a lot of people and are definitely currently one of the biggest rock bands in the world.

Their recent album effort only proved it. It sold well in both UK and the US as well. In overal, it's got mostly positive reviews. Although, some people claim that it just doesn't work for them anymore and that The Killers will never release as good album as their debut album called Hot Fuss, I say it is good. Actually, it is probably my second favorite record from this band.

Of course, the band is currently massively touring and promoting the Battle Born. Recently they also appeared on Letterman. In fact, you can now watch performances of 11 songs from this gig (I think it is the entire show, but I'm not sure) below. They played new tracks as well as their older classics.

Check out new track from Tegan and Sara

You all probably know very popular indie pop duo Tegan and Sara, which consists of twins Tegan Rain Quin and Sary Keirsten Quin. These girls have been on the scene since 1995 and have released 6 studio albums.

The seventh record entitled Heartthrob will be out in early 2013 (no official release date has been announced yet). First track revealed from this album is song called "I'm Not Your Hero" and it was revealed only recently. You can now check it out at the bottom of the post.

This Canadian duo is also set to release a special compilation for british iTunes store only. And it will also feature this song.

Tegan and Sara are also quite busy touring a lot nowadays. They have been touring for some time now and they will continue touring pretty much for the rest of the year. They will head to UK as opening act for The Killers during their tour. To see all their tour dates, visit their website.

Play Motion City Soundtrack's 8-bit game

American band Motion City Soundtrack released their fifth studio album entitled Go in June of this year. It features 11 tracks and it overally received quite positive reviews. I also like the record, but I think it lacks originality. It all sounds like I've already heard it somewhere.

Anyway, if you still want to stream the album, you can via playlist made by Epitaph Records YouTube channel (record label of the band). Start the playlist featuring all the songs of the album as well as some interviews here.

First single of the album is track called "True Romance". The band recently also made a 8-bit video game with this title. The game is simple adventure in which you can play for any member of the band. If you finish the game, as a reward you can listen to 8-bit version of "True Romance". Play the game here.

Watch Metric perform at Radio City Music Hall

This Canadian indie rock band, which has a great singer Emily Haines, has been pretty busy touring since release of their fifth studio album entitled Synthetica in Juny. Although they have currently little break, in November, they are set to tour in their home country Canada. After that, they will play some shows in the US. To see all their scheduled tour dates, visit their website.

They also recently performed at New York City's Radio City Music Hall. Fuse was kind enough and uploaded five songs from this show on their YouTube channel. You can now watch all of them at the bottom of the post. As usually, Metric put out an awesome performance.

List of uploaded tracks:

"Synthetica"
"Artificial Nocturne"
"Youth Without Youth"
"Gold Guns Girls"
"Speed the Collapse"
