Rumors have abounded in recent years that certain members of the band the Talking Heads would love a reunion tour; however, eccentric mastermind David Byrne is anything but down with the idea.

The hit song “Golden Brown” was a nicer moment from the Stranglers, as the band is largely known as one of England’s more impolite musical acts. Their sometimes sexist lyrics and crude, growling delivery made them popular with the punk crowd.

The same band that penned the Dylanesque, “Pretty Fly for a White Guy” with the lyrics “Uno dos tres cuatro cinco cinco seis” that my pop still raps when counting anything.

The somewhat uneventful combination has scheduled seven dates thus far throughout the months of June and early July, including !gasp! Milwaulkee’s Summerfest.

The tour begins at the tail of the Hydra, in Phoenix, continuing up the snake’s body and ending on one of its multiple heads in Atlanta. And to ensure that his new Hydra-tour is received with a maximum amount of puzzlement, he announced very correctly that the first initials of the cities on the tour, listed in Hydra order, spell out the acronym “PEHDTSCKJMBA.” ... read more |

The Cure will make good the promise to shell out their as-of-yet-titled 13th studio album, by releasing a single the 13th of each month from now until it’s September 13 release date. How very ironic, morbid and pseudo-goth of you, emo-founding father, Robert Smith ... read more |

Shortly after newly founded electro go-to boy Kanye West debuted Justice’s new video for “Stress” from their debut album + on Thursday via his official site, it massively circulated itself onto music blogs everywhere.

I, on the other hand, was nothing short of utterly confused ... read more |

MTV EXIT (End Exploitation and Trafficking) partnered with Radiohead to create a video to the track “All I Need,” in order to raise awareness of human exploitation and trafficking. Human trafficking is “the recruitment, transportation, and receipt of a person for sexual or economic exploitation by force, fraud, coercion, or deception.” In other words, it’s what you and your buddies do at frat parties, but much worse ... read more |
