Another Way to Die music video

Isn't it kind of too bright for a Bond music video? Maybe it'll make more sense after seeing the movie. Jack White,wooo!

Listen to Bob Dylan's new album

NPR Music is streaming Bob Dylan's new album Tell Tale Signs, the entire 2-disc version on their website!

"Widely regarded as America's greatest living songwriter, Bob Dylan has written and recorded some of the most influential and acclaimed music of the past century. For the legions of fans who still can't get enough, Dylan's longtime label (Columbia Records) has been releasing a series of "bootleg" CDs from the singer — a vast collection of rare recordings and outtakes spanning five decades. Tell Tale Signs, the eighth volume in the series, covers Dylan's past 20 years, a period that produced the albums Time Out of Mind, Love and Theft, Modern Times and Oh Mercy."

Tell Tale Signs will be released on October 7.

Dig Out Your Soul

Since the deletion of my review on the new Oasis album Dig Out Your Soul, I didn't have the words saved and I'm not in the mood to rewrite them all over again . But I'll give you guys the link to a Stereogum early review of the album. In short, it's a very different Oasis album, as a die-hard Oasis(and the Beatles) fan, I love Dig Out Your Soul . Liam's voice and his song I'm Outta Time really amazed me. The Turning ,for me, is the most standout track of the album. I can't wait to get the actual album and see the interesting artwork,cheers.

Okay...

Some of you might noticed that some very recent posts of mine were gone; according to DMCA, the contents infringes the copyright. I'm a supporter of the acts to protect the copyright of the artists; they spent years making music that they're proud of,yet some people just don't know how to fully appreciate it. I have nothing to say about them taking down my posts with links to the songs.
At the same time,as a massive music products consumer, I felt disappointed. I am the one trying to help people buy music by letting them like the music. It's 2008, you can't expect people to spend money on music based on a 30 seconds trailer on MTV or the massive billboard on the main street. The sole reason I built this blog was to convinced people that "Artists are not doing charity.When you like an artist,go buy the music." Most of the reasons why music blogs are so popular today is because people are more eager to find good music then the days of radio. We posted things not to violate the copyright terms but to introduce people to more music; believe it or not,the people I met were actually more willing to buy music if they've heard it and liked it. We are not the one telling people not to buy music, it's sad that the offcials doing the copyright works clearly don't know how to distinguished us from the real criminals.
This blog might be taking down for any furthur "violations." I can't make sure what is right and wrong to post(since most of my posts were fine with them), but I'll keep posting. For all the music lovers and the music bloggers out there, I salute you.

New Vampire Weekend

As I mentioned a few weeks ago,Vampire Weekend have a new song featured on the Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist movie soundtrack. The song titled "Ottoman" could now be stream on Stereogum. It's not much different from the songs in their first album; from some who have already seen the movie reviewed that many other great songs used in the movie were not even in the soundtrack! Can Nick & Norah be the new Garden State?We'll see.

Another Way To Die

The new Bond theme song is finally out!Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson was not able to came up with a good one so they ended up giving the chance to the genius Jack White to make a collaboration with the R&B diva Alicia Keys. The song Another Way To Die was written and produced by Jack White,you can hear the familiar sound of Jack's guitar and his distinctive voice, for a second I even began to wonder where's Alicia Keys? I love it,but it's not a common song for a Bond movie.You can listen to the official stream with good quality here.
Quantum of Solace will be in theatre 11/14.

Travis-Song To Self

Hey!!

I'm back! 10 days are definitely not enough, London is such a wonderful and beautiful city. Sadly,apart from some CDs and magazines, I didn't get the chance to see anything music related(hmm,if you count walked across Abbey Road?) Anyway, London is now my favorite city in the world(sorry NYC~),I'm dying for another chance to stay in London again!

Dead Heart Bloom

New York City band Dead Heart Bloom released their new EP Fall In and can be download on their website. Dead Heart Bloom is with a kind of shoegazing that's more approachable and yet the occasional melancholic chagrin can also break your heart. I've seen people decribed Dead Heart Bloom as having the "eclectic eccentricity of Beck" and the "dramatics of Bowie," but that's not enough of the describtion, you can also feel the mellow of Radiohead and the soft sparks of Coldplay or even the slight edginess of Nirvana. Dead Heart Bloom is the combination of everything I love, I truely regreatted to not have known them till now.
