Faith No More - Sol Invictus (a review)

HOLY SHIT what an album. In my opinion, it is like FNM presenting a summary of all the best styles and sounds they’ve thrown out to date, but wrapped up in the delicious package of new material instead of a greatest hits.

This truly is Faith No More returning on top form, and this album will no doubt be getting a good many rotations. If you have enjoyed any Faith No More material to date, the. This album deserves a place in your collection.

Favourite tracks- Separation Anxiety, Motherfucker, Rise of the Fall and From the Dead.

Nine Inch Nails return for 2013!

Nine Inch Nails are set to tour the US this year and a world tour next year, hopefully with a new album or two to follow!

From Trent Reznor's statement on Pitchfork:

Nine Inch Nails are touring this year.

I was working with Adrian Belew on some musical ideas, which led to some discussion on performing, which led to some beard-scratching, which (many steps later) led to the decision to re-think the idea of what Nine Inch Nails could be, and the idea of playing a show. Calls were made to some friends, lots of new ideas were discussed, and a show was booked - which led to another, which somehow led to a lot of shows.

The band is reinventing itself from scratch and will be comprised of Eric Avery, Adrian Belew, Alessandro Cortini, Josh Eustis, Ilan Rubin, and me. The first shows will begin this summer, followed by a full-on arena tour of the US this fall, and lots of other dates worldwide to follow through 2014.

Lots of details and dates to come. See you soon.

TR

In the meantime, you can follow Trent's updates on twitter, tumblr, facebork and even instagram.

'A Tattered Line of String' - one of two new tracks from The Postal Service's upcoming 'Deluxe 10th Anniversary Edition' re-release of Give Up

Sad times. I have fond memories of working there a couple of times when i was younger. Really is a shame to see pretty much the last big bricks-and-mortar music chain going under.

Pandora streaming radio now "fully live" in Australia and New Zealand

Finally. This now means that as well as desktop access, folks this side of the globe can download the iOS app and Android app too.

According to a post on Pandora's blog, they "have been extra thorough in curating some new genre stations for local artists from both countries" so it'll interesting to see how well the service does over here after the long delay.

First thing i'm going to play? Regurgitator, of course.

MC Lars' entire back catalogue name-your-price for one week

Post-punk laptop rapper MC Lars has set his entire back cat on bandcamp as name-your-price for one week only. I highly recommend his stuff so go get it while you can!

I'm quite chuffed with this as I've taken the opportunity to fill in the gaps in my MC Lars collection and pick up the recent Edgar Allan Poe EP, Lars Attacks! and Indie Rocket Science... sweet!

Blink-182 releasing new EP December 18th

...just in time for the holidays! According to Mark Hoppus in an interview with MTV:

It'll be something fun and funny for the holidays

He also said that the EP will be released through iTunes and blink-182's website, and that they will also release limited-edition gift packages that include "a special screened, museum-quality poster, limited-edition T-shirts and sweatshirts, wrapping paper, holiday cards and whatnot."

Looking forward to it. Would be good to have some more xmas-themed blink songs to add to my xmas playlist other than 'Happy Holidays, You Bastard' and 'I Wont Be Home For Christmas'...

Ben Folds Five performing 'Rock This Bitch in Fremantle' (or 'We're Rocking This Bitch In Freo') - a special off-the-cuff rendition of the now famous 'Rock This Bitch' tradition, thrown together especially for this performance in Fremantle.

Recorded on my iPhone at last night's show, so excuse the poor quality.

The Ataris have posted up two new songs from their upcoming album 'The Graveyard of The Atlantic' on their bandcamp page (name your price, requires an email address)

According to The Ataris' bandcamp page:

Tracked on a 1978 Neve 8078 console, using only vintage amps, guitars and microphones.  All songs recorded and mixed to Analog tape.  No computers were harmed during the making of this recording.

...how post-modern.

PSA: Mirrors for the Rhyme Torrents Compilations

Just a quick public service announcement, as i've just stumbled across a list of mirrors for the Rhyme Torrent compilation series.

This nerdcore institution has been around for a while now, whereby nerdcore artists make a track or two available for a free-to-download online mixtape. Unfortunately, the health of the torrents has been suffering (i'm guessing due to action taken against illegal torrents having a negative impact on these legit ones) and some are now very hard to find. (There is a community site, NerdcoreNow.com, but not all of the past comps are available.) 

Well some wonderful fellow from some corner of the internet has collected together a bunch of mediafire links for the various comps, and they are listed on his blog post: Rhyme Torrents Compilations - alternative downloads

Many thanks sir, nerdcore salutes you.
