Sure to cap off what has been one of the best years in their storied history, the Pet Shop Boys are set to release a Christmas EP simply titled….Christmas. It’s due to be released on 14 December in the UK with no US date at the moment and includes five tracks. One of these tracks [...]

i really doubt this is it…

What else needs to be said about the King of Pop that hasn’t already been said by people much smarter and/or dumber than myself? He was the greatest entertainer I’ve ever seen and probably ever will see. Say what you will about the decline in the quality of his material over the last few years [...]

don’t look now…here come the bunnymen!

Look. This band needs no introduction. The band were a perfect blend of the Doors, Bowie and the last vestiges of punk. A lead singer who not only was cool but personified the word and gave it a new meaning and thus offering a blueprint for future frontmen to adopt and follow. A guitarist who [...]

never been closer to heaven…

This past Saturday night was one that I must say I truly will never forget. Atlantic City. The House of Blues in the Showboat Casino. I and my dear friend, Marilyn were there to witness the spectacle that are the Pet Shop Boys as they continued on their Pandemonium tour in support of the brilliant [...]

on a (much) lesser note…

Noel Gallagher, it appears dropped the bomb earlier today by walking out on Oasis. Needless to say that without Noel, there really is no Oasis. Sorry, Liam, I love ya but let’s be honest… Noel is and always has been the creative sparkplug of the band. As a fan since Supersonic, it’s my hope that [...]

One of popular music’s least prolific bands are back. The kings of the Bristol sound, Massive Attack are releasing a digital EP 5 October which will include the brand new track unleashed today called Splitting The Atom.

Here’s a question for you. When you’re the best band of your generation and feeling the constant nibbles at your ankles from the likes of lesser beings such as Muse or Coldplay that get [...]

the beautiful people, the beautiful people…

…DUH-DUH-DUH!
Sorry…wrong song.  High five goes out to fellow blogger extraordinaire, Daft Monk, who passed along the news. It appears the good ol’ boys better known as the Pet Shop Boys are about to release single number three from the outstanding record simply titled Yes. It’s going to be Beautiful People. A song that sounds like [...]

the return of major tom…

It stands to reason that David Bowie needs no introduction in terms of his importance to popular music. That said, unless you’ve been in a bomb shelter the last 40 years or your name is Avril Lavigne then you realize that the Thin White Duke has had his finger in infiltrating the hearts and minds [...]

oh my god…

The record that most hip-hop fans…make that all hip-hop fans never believed would see the light of day along with Dr. Dre’s alleged Detox may finally see the light of day. The almighty G.O.A.T, Rakim is back. The album eight years in the making The Seventh Seal is supposed to hite stores the 15th of [...]
