Prince Song About Salma Hayek's Baby Says Her...
The Nobel Prize winning Mexican beauty directed Prince’s “Te Amo Corazon” video in 2005, but the two kept things professional. (“Salma is the most thoughtful, attentive director I have ever worked with,” he said at the time.) But the pop star never stopped thinking about the actress’s luscious purple breasts. (In Prince’s dreams they are purple.)...

Serge Gainsbourg Histoire de Melody Nelson
[Light in the Attic; 1971/2009]
10.0
Serge Gainsbourg had no great attachment to genre. By the time he came to rock music, in his early 40s, the French star had traced his oblique, provocative course through chanson (French vocal...

March 30, 2009 11:11 a.m. by Andrew Winistorfer
Prince’s three-album package (which features two Prince albums and one from his protege Bria Valente) is out now at your local Target stores, and apart from the Purple One’s three night run on Leno last week, we haven’t heard much from the albums. The funky...

PJ Harvey & John Parish - Black Hearted Love
A few weeks ago, we posted “Black Hearted Love,” with its slinky, powerful PJ vocals and roaring guitar work by John Parish. It’s reminiscent of Sonic Youth … and the ’90s in general. The song’s dark vibe inspired Ms. Harvey’s wardrobe (black gown, black nail polish) in a new Chapman Bros-directed clip that finds her alone in the woods bouncing in one of...
New Death Cab For Cutie - Little Bribes
Ben Gibbard first started playing this track on his solo acoustic tour with David Bazan in ‘07. Then it was called “Casino Blues,” and after hearing its shiny happy strum we said it “doesn’t sound like Death Cab material per se, but [it’s] a nice pick up for Gibbard die hards.” The song’s official release two years later fits that bill:...
New Bloc Party - Better Than Heaven (No Age Remix)
Two bands with arty punk in the blood going in two different directions, posing for a three-minute snapshot together in 2009. As previously discussed, Bloc Party are once again going full remix with their Intimacy LP, a move that’s either a vote of confidence in that last batch of tunes or a grab at some cred-by-association, depending on how you view these sorts of projects and/or...

The Stone Roses to Reunite?
According to Pitchfork’s Joe Tangari, the Stone Roses’ self-titled 1989 debut album “simultaneously gathers the disparate strands of UK rock in the 80s and predicts the Britpop of the 90s”. Indeed, it was named the 39th best album of the 80s by this very website. The band never quite topped it and, largely thanks to tensions between singer Ian Brown and guitarist John...

P R I N C E
According to Billboard, Prince will celebrate the release of his bazonkers Target-only three-CD set by performing for three nights in a row on “The Tonight Show”, March 25-27. He’ll also return to the show on May 28, Jay Leno’s second-to-last night as host. If Jay’s smart, he’ll do what Arsenio Hall did that one time and pretty much just turn the show over to...
Zooey Deschanel’s (500) Days Of Summer Trailer
The trailer for the Mark Webb-directed (500) Days Of Summer opens with Zooey Deschanel (as Summer) telling a guy listening to “There Is A Light That Never Goes Out” loudly on his earphones that she, too, loves the Smiths. She sings a couple lines to prove it. The thing is, despite the setup, we’re told by a voiceover that...

ABOUT FRIENDLY FIRES
Friendly Fires are the first overseas band to step into our stripped-down Decomposed studio. The English band had a big year, releasing their eponymous debut on XL this past September, earning Cool points by NME, who also placed the trio at the 10 spot on their top 50 of 2008. Outside the UK, Friendly Fires made showings on year-enders by Rolling Stone and Pitchfork (via the...
Dear Fabchannel viewer, After nine passionate and beautiful years of sharing the most amazing concert recordings with you, Fabchannel is stopping. A great number of record labels still won’t allow us to record their artists. This prevents us from offering what we need to keep Fabchannel alive. We want to sincerely thank you for all support through the years! It has been an amazing...

Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest [Premature Evaluation]
No secret we’ve been excited about this one for awhile. And as the band blogged, it’s no secret that a transcode of the album is burning up torrent sites a bit earlier than anticipated. On the other hand, between live shows and television appearances, the wait for a Yellow House followup’s seemed interminable, Grizzly Bear’s pre-release maneuvering and gradual song...

NOS: Twitter razendsnel bij vliegtuigcrash. Het vliegtuigongeluk woensdag bij Schiphol lijkt de echte doorbraak te betekenen voor Twitter in Nederland. Via internet plaatsten ooggetuigen en hulpdiensten berichten, die direct werden doorgestuurd aan hun vrienden. En hun vrienden en zo verder. Tienduizenden mensen wisselden het laatste nieuws zo uit.
