Gorillaz releasing special edition Chuck Taylors for Converse
Thursday, November 17th, 2011
Normally when a band releases a special edition shoe from Converse, I stay away from them. I mean I love me some Chuck Taylors but the ones released by bands are always tacky looking and splash the band logo all over the shoe. I'm not a fan of that...but these I could see being laced up on my feet.
Gorillaz are releasing their brand of Chuck Taylors with Converse and they look pretty damn good. They were designed by Gorillaz animator… Read More

Monday, November 14th, 2011
It's another case of electronic music merging with the world of rock and roll. This time, Canadian superstar DJ/producer Deadmau5 has taken on the task of covering Radiohead and the beautiful song "Codex" from The King Of Limbs (via CoS).
Check out the meh cover down below. I say meh because while the instrumentation is okay, the song is nothing without Thom Yorke's vocals.… Read More
Dropkick Murphys release 2012 St. Patrick’s Day tour dates
Monday, November 14th, 2011
When St. Patrick's Day comes around, three things are for certain: Guinness, Guinness and Dropkick Murphys. The Boston based punks go hand-in-hand with the Irish holiday that offers non-Irish people like myself the opportunity to drink themselves to oblivion while wishing my name was Seamus.
So it's only right that DM would announce a tour dubbed the St. Patrick's Day tour. The fun kicks off on February 22nd in Toronto, ON… Read More

Watch: Foo Fighters & Joan Jett play “Bad Reputation”
Monday, November 14th, 2011I'm just a fan of this all the way through. Not only do I own the very same Dan Armstrong Ampeg guitar that Dave Grohl plays in the video but the Foo Fighters rocked Madison Square Garden last night with Joan Jett.
Our good buddy The Audio Perv had ringside seats to this spectacle. The Foos and the legendary Joan Jett ripped through a version of Jett's "Bad Reputation" in front of a screaming NYC crowd. Watch the video up top whilst I hate myself for not going to this show.… Read More

Monday, November 14th, 2011
Remember when Red Hot Chili Peppers released their new album, I'm With You, earlier this year? It's quite good but it always seems that new albums have a short shelf life in our memories. So here's a little something to jog your memory.
Down below is the new video from RHCP for their new single and opening track of the new album, "Monarchy of Roses". At the end of the clip, the credits claim the video was inspired by the work of artist Raymond… Read More
