that bitch ain't a part of me
Chris Cornell has made a parody on hip-hop/r'n'b videos called "Part of Me".
Cornell who got a lot of flack on his collaboration with Timbaland has decided to retaliate with humor with a song that has the line "that bitch ain't a part of me" in its chorus, just hysterically funny! (the only thing missing is Chris breaking out some moves on the dance floor) take a look:
Oh wait, turns out this video is for real! My god I guess all I have to wait for is the duet with Justin (move over Madonna there's a new old guy in town)or I'll just keep it off my wave.

YYYs - It's Blitz!
The new Yeah Yeah Yeahs album It's Blitz! is finally out next month. Its the third studio album from the NY trio and sound a bit different from their usual - using lots synths and electronic sounds in their songs, but still keeping the YYYs vibe.
It took me a couple of songs to get into it. Although Zero is not a bad opener, the electronic/synth attack of the first songs just doesn't feel right - its not a Goldfrapp album but its starting to sound like one...
But then come Skeletons, Dull Life and Shame and Fortune so I give in to this album. Skeletons is just a beautiful slowly building song , Dull Life and Shame and Fortune get the YYYs punkier sound back (did someone say early P.J.Harvey).
The album ends with two beautiful songs Hysteric (also one of my favorites so far) and Little Shadow so don't quit in the middle of this album.
Tour dates are also available, starting with the Coachella festival and coming back to Europe:

The Eternal
Sonic Youth are getting ready to release their 16th album ! titled "The Eternal".
The official release is in June but Matador records (their new record company) have an early bird release available April 28 (a day after my b-day).
They have also released a mashed up or montage preview of the record, which kind of sucks cause you can't really get into the songs before they cut and move to the next. Anyways the trademark guitar sound is their and Thurston promised some dark stuff on this album so it's all good.
Got to close this post with Teenage Riot (my favorite).

Where did Primus go?
I saw the movie "Zack and Miri do a porno" last week, not much I have to say about the movie but the opening scene has "Wynona's Big Brown Beaver" by Primus playing in the background...
I haven't heard that song or anything from Primus in ages (not including the Southpark theme).
Their songs might be silly but they sure can play - as the opener for their debut album Frizzle Fry they play a few seconds of Rush's Yyz stating I guess we might not take our lyrics seriously but we are serious about our music.
I stopped following them after Antipop where they tried too much to sound like all the nu-metal bands around that time (most of them were actually influenced by Primus) and I actually thought they split for good since then.
So I was really surprised to learn that they have since reunited (with their original drummer - Herb) and have put out a DVD Animal Should Not Try To Act Like People and are touring from time to time.
At the time when I was into Primus there was no YouTube so now its really fun too check out some of their live shows. Man these guys can play - Les is just a wiz on the bass (the man's name actually sounds like a guitar model !), Herb/Brain give the power on the drums and Larry decorates it well with his crazy riffs.
The famous penguin suites on David Letterman:
Tommy The Cat with an amazing bass and drums jam in the middle (Les looks like Edward Norton's evil twin here):

The Phantom Band
Checkmate Savage is the new album from The Phantom Band, ooohh very mysterious...
These Scottish guys put out a solid "rock with a twist" album. I say rock with a twist cause the songs sound have a basic beat + rock riff and probably if they had an American rock producer they would have wound up sounding like Staind.
Fortunately each songs has some experimental twist that gives it an edge.
The opener song The Howling where the lead singer sounds a lot like Serj Tankian (just less operatic) has a looping beat that gives it an electro-pop twist and makes it more fun - The Howling.
Throwing Bones is another great rock song, fitting easily on the indie rock charts - Throwing Bones.
The album as a whole holds up nicely with some more gems along the way (like Islands) moving form folk to metal and a bit of goth , definitely worth a listen.
