Reading 2008 line up

April 1st, 2008 by w

The Rock is back at Reading…

That’s a good first announcement, with some solid Headliners (except The Killers, maybe).

It doesn’t look like Babyshambles and The Dirty Pretty Things will play on the same day, too bad, that would have been fun…

I’m somehow most excited about QOTSA, because I have never seen them before…

On the smaller stages, it’s worth noting Conor Oberst aka Bright Eyes and Justice, I wonder how the latter will fare without a big light show and all.

The lineup so far:
Rage Against The Machine, The Killers, Metallica, Queens of the Stone Age, Bloc Party, Tenacious D, The Fratellis, The Raconteurs, Slipknot, The Enemy, Editors, Feeder, Biffy Clyro, We Are Scientists, Avenged Sevenfold, Serj Tankian, Dirty Pretty Things, Dropkick Murphys, Taking Back Sunday, The Subways, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly, Anti-Flag…..plus many more to be announced on the Main Stage.

On the NME / Radio 1 stage:
Babyshambles, Manic Street Preachers, The Cribs, The Wombats, Bullet For My Valentine, Conor Oberst, Vampire Weekend, Justice, Pendulum, MGMT and Foals.

Hate to say I told you so

The end of DRM for music files on the Internet is near. It’s all over the web, and the original source seems to be Business Week.

This was of course to be expected, as I already wrote last May

It’s only in your mind

I’m totally crazy for this song at the moment.

It’s not released on an album, but you can download the free mp3 here.

Best of 2007 Playlist

January 2nd, 2008 by w

So I thought it would be nice to share a playlist with my personal favorite songs of the year. This doesn’t necessarily represent my favorite albums, as the focus is on singles… There’s a bit of everything, even something German and French….

I have also spent some thought on the order of the songs which is not in order of preference, so turn off the shuffle…

It kind of throws me back 15 years, but it still is quite amazing. Definetely two of my all time favorites on the same stage… Read all about it at Pitchfork

HOWL ON THE HAUNTED BEAT YOU RIDE

July 2nd, 2007 by w

I have no idea what the title means, but it’s the name of the new record of the wonderful The Go from Detroit… The album is being released on July 24th and you can place you order here. If you order the album, you get the mp3’s for free. Even if you’ve ordered the CD…

I have not ordered it myself, because shipping to Europe is US$14, which is more expensive than the LP…
