Paul McCartney pays tribute to Lennon

Paul McCartney was on Jimmy Fallon the other day, a special interview and performance of the song "Here Today" as a  rememberance of John. What's more, Paul sang the original lyrics of "Yesterday" that is called "Scrambled Eggs"!

Mondo Amore

Over 3 years of waiting, Nicole Atkins is finally back with her second album Mondo Amore.“This is the record I’ve been wanting to make since I was 12,” says Nicole Atkins. “It has so many layers, it’s able to do whatever it wants without defining itself as one thing.” Her love for classic, layering of instrument and powerful vocal made her first album Neptune City one of my favorite album that year, after changing her band members a few years ago, I'm looking forward to the sound she's gonna bring us this time. The new album will be release on Jan 25,2011. And she will also be playing at Bowery Ballroom on Feb 9. 

'Mondo Amore' Track List:
1. 'Vultures'
2. 'Cry Cry Cry'
3. 'Hotel Plaster'
4. 'You Come to Me'

Coldplay - Christmas Lights

Bring The Light

Beady Eye - aka, Oasis without Noel - released a new song called 'Bring The Light' yesterday.Well, I like this kind of tunes but I still want some witty and charming lyrics that only Noel can write; I've always hoped that Noel might just need a little break from his kid brother, but now the break has taken so long I'm not surpursed if Noel release his own solo album!
You can download this track from Beady Eye website.

Time of My Life

Patrick Wolf is back, with the second half of his project. The first part The Bachelor was out in 2009, with this second half still-untitled album at wrok, Wolf made this minimalist video of the song Time of My Life. In deed this sounds more optimistic and happy compare to the songs in The Bachelor, but what I can't wait to see is the  more enchanting video with those Wolf's signature mesmerizing visual stimulation.

Down By the Water

The Decemberistsis are giving out a new song "Down By The Water" from their new album!

 

The new album The King Is Dead will be out 1/18, 2011

Whip My Hair

You've probably already heard this a billion times, but Willo Smith's new song and video is really addictive! And Willo is a good singer, since she's only 9. I can't even recall what I was doing I was 9!

Mark Ronson covers Arcade Fire

The other day, Mark Ronosn was on BBC radio 1 Jo Whiley's show, he declared his love for Arcade Fire's new album and covered the song "We used to wait." His version is more simple and straight forward; I still like the original one better though, but I really appreciate their cover version and hopefully helped promote The Suburbs!

Best Coast - Boyfriend

Na Na Na

Looks like MCR is into another kind of cosplay right now, at least they're still sticking to the concpet album thing.

Sounds interesting, but I'm not thrilled about it. Nov. 22 we'll see.

Holy Fuck - Red Lights

For all the cat lovers out there

Warpaint - Undertow

Warpaint is releasing their debut album The Fool on October 25. I saw them live the other week and I have to say they're a really good live band, the instrumental construction and each members' role in the band is very interesting. They can be soft, explosive and even gone to the extreme; the music is fresh and intricate. I'm really looking forward to the new album.

The xx on Jimmy Kimmel

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West finally annouced the title of this new album:

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

It will be out on 11/22.

And he also released a tailer for his video "Runaway"

Well...this is deep. So deep that I have no idea what it can be.
