Watch Japanther's Kaleidoscopic New Video for "Stolen Flowers" I've been instructed by VICE's supreme overlords to always adopt a "global" tone in my writing, one that doesn't single out a specific city as any better than, say, Decatur, Illinois. The truth is, me and a lot of my dumb little writing buddies live in New York City, and we're all pretty sure it's at least one of the more tolerable spots on this dying sphere we're currently riding around space on. One of the reasons I like New York so much are the sounds that it emits, and one of the reasons I like those sounds so much is that there are bands like Japanther you can see on Friday nights. I used to bike out to the middle of the Williamsburg Bridge at 2 AM to see them perform a few songs before getting shut down by the cops. It helped 20-year-old me realize that life in this city may not be like Seinfeld, but it can be alright if you just go to shows all the time instead of trying to get a real job or develop a dumb hobby or something.

Whether it's real life or just fantasy, Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" now rests in the twisted hands of Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan, who has just recorded an earnest and mostly faithful rendition with his avant-shock group Puscifer. The track appears on the group's latest EP, Donkey Punch the Night (out February 19), alongside two originals, some remixes, and a riotous interpretation of German heavy metallers Accept's classic foot-stomper "Balls to the Wall. " It's a short release that ties into Keenan's philosophy of putting out Puscifer music only when he feels like it, something he began doing since 2007 with the release of the group's "V" Is for Vagina.
"The idea of focusing on 15 tracks is daunting," the singer tells SPIN from his Arizona vineyard, on a break from working on his latest batch of wine. "It's a lot of easier to focus on two ideas. Puscifer — Bohemian Rhapsody (O.G. So, uh, how does one donkey punch the night? Maybe not, but it's close. That's a first. Touché. WEEN: 2006-07-29 ~ Red Rocks, Morrison, CO (Part 2/2) Interpol's Paul Banks Releases Ballsy Hip-Hop Mixtape | SPIN | SPIN Mix. Paul Banks, frontman for skinny-tie mopes Interpol, released a hip-hop mixtape today (January 25) titled Everybody on My Dick Like They Supposed to Be. Not kidding! According to Matablog, the 21-track collection — which features beats and production from Banks himself — has actually been in the can for about nine months.
Matador originally intended Everybody on My Dick as a pre-release bonus for the crooner's second solo album, 2012's Banks. Last October, the 34-year-old expressed interest in beatmaking during an interview with SPIN. "I was listening to a lot of Drake when I was recording [Banks], but that was once all the songs were written," he said. "I took hip-hop songs to [co-producer] Peter [Katis] [and] said, 'Check this out.' But he's not into hip-hop. Everybody on My Dick features foggy instrumentation and RoboCop samples, plus guest verses from El-P, Talib Kweli, Mike G, and High Prizm. Again, it's called Everybody on My Dick Like They Supposed to Be. DJ Chiknbiskit | Official Music, Photos, Videos & Show Dates. Bt.etree.org | Community Tracker. Hidden Track. The Lives They Lived.

It's already been revealed that the soundtrack for Judd Apatow's "This is 40" -- his sort-of-sequel to "Knocked Up" -- will feature another choice selections of cuts, including songs by Yoko Ono, Paul McCartney, Avett Brothers, Loudon Wainwright and more. But even more appealing is the fact that there are four artists who contributed new songs to the film's soundtrack, including Fiona Apple, Norah Jones, Graham Parker (who cameos in the film), and Lindsey Buckingham; all produced by the film's composer Jon Brion (Wilco and Ryan Adams also contribute new/live versions of previously known songs).
It's a bit of a Dad-rock mix, but hell, it fits the material, and these kind of song selections served the tone for "Knocked Up" and Apatow's previous film "Funny People" extremely well. "This is 40," also stars Leslie Mann, Albert Brooks, Megan Fox, Jason Segel, Chris O'Dowd, Lena Dunham, Melissa McCarthy, John Lithgow, Charlyne Yi, Maude and Iris Apatow and more. Ween.

Guitar. Online Guitar Tuner. MICKEY HART. Mickey Hart: Downloads. Mickey Hart is best known for his nearly three decades as an integral part of an extraordinary expedition into the soul and spirit of music, disguised as the rock and roll band the Grateful Dead. As half of the percussion tandem known as the Rhythm Devils, Mickey and Bill Kreutzmann transcended the conventions of rock drumming.
Their extended polyrhythmic excursions were highlights of Grateful Dead shows, introducing the band's audience to an ever-growing arsenal of percussion instruments from around the world. Exposure to these exotic sounds fueled Mickey's desire to learn about the various cultures that produced them. In the past two years, Hart has sonified the Universe, the Golden Gate Bridge, the America's Cup, and now, he is going even deeper. On his new record SUPERORGANISM, due out August 13, 2013, Hart is breaking new ground by combining music with science and the human body. Long a social activist, Hart appeared in August 1991 before the U.S.
