ALEX TURNER INFLUENCES

Recientemente Alex Turner armó una compilación para la rocola del Sheffield’s Bowery Bar, muchos de los artistas incluídos no los conocía hasta que encontré esta nota, Turner tiene buenos gustos musicales, tal vez eso ayuda a comprender su habilidad para escribir y componer.

SKETCHEAD

Vi esto en un foro, no me había percatado de que son los mismos beats. Sketchead evidentemente es un tema de la era Favurite Worst Nightmare, noten ambos videos. Es interesante. También pueden escuchar una versión limpia de batería de Sketchead por si les interesa.



MY PROPELLER ARTWORK

Al fin se reveló el arte del tercer sencillo de Humbug "My Propeller", el cual estará disponible en formatos de 7" y 10".

En lo personal me gustó aunque mi favorita es la de "Cornerstone"

AND THE WINNERS ARE....

Los premios NME se llevaron a cabo hoy, desafortunadamente para los lectores de este blog no les será grato saber que Arctic Monkeys solo ganó una nominación, mientras no fuese peor album, todo esta bien.

Ganaron Mejor Banda en Vivo.





Previo a la entrega, Matt Helders fue entrevistado:

"Kasabian? I love them, there's no rivalry. Who do I want to meet? Slash! Kasabian should win. But I want to win Best Live or Best Album, as long as it's not Worst album!"

¿Kasabian? Me encantan, no hay rivalidad. ¿A quién quiero conocer? Slash! Kasabian debería ganar. Pero quiero ganar Mejor Acto en vivo o Mejor Album, ¡siempre y cuando no sea Peor Album!
