Album releases for April 24:
Arctic Monkeys-Favourite Worst Nightmare

Already have this album, and it's kickasstastic. Easily Europe's most anticipated album and mine as well, there isn't a song on it that I couldn't listen to all day. The 1st single is Brianstorm, yes BrIAnstorm, and it's got a Dick Dale feel to it. See it here. The best song is probably Fluorescent Adolescent, one of the more mellow songs and will more than likely be their big hit stateside when the single-ize it. My favorites are Teddy Picker and House is a Circus though. Reviews have been extremely high, it's bagged an 83 average on metacritic (which is the rottentomatoes of music.) NME review here and AMG review here.

Besides that, there really isn't that much else I'm excited for. No other good alternative stuff out this week. Nine Inch Nails has a new CD out if your into that. The NIN cd changes color when it heats up from spinning in your CD player, which proves labels will do anything to sell actual cd's than downloads.

Hip-Hop has another empty week and making me positive that if emo and country didn't exist it would be the worst genre ever. This coming from a guy that still listens to Eminem, Jay-Z, and Nas on a daily basis, because they actually got it and weren't as empty-headed as rappers are now. Hip-Hop is phuggen demised.

Music News:

Gorillaz: DEAD!

Well, finished at least. Lead singer Damon Albarn says so. I hate hearing this. Demon Days was awesome. Damon Albarn is in two other bands though, both are nearly as good. You've heard this Blur song. Blur's been around since 1989, went on hiatus in 2003, and is fortunately considering a comeback. His new band, The Good, the Bad, and the Queen, has a song you should hear. tGtBatQ also involve a Clash bassist and a Verve guitarist.

Coachella phuggen gets underway

If you haven't heard of Coachella, you listen to too much Ashlee Simpson and garbage like MIMS. It's the best rock festival in the states and it happens every year. Every band is there. This year it'll be headline by The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Rage Against the Machine, but I think there are literally a billion other bands there as well. There is no other place I would rather be this weekend than at this mother. Arctic Monkeys, Interpol, Decemberists, Tokyo Police Club, Kaiser Chiefs, Silversun Pickups, The Good The Bad and The Queen, The Fratellis, The Feeling, The Kooks, Klaxons, and Lupe Fiasco. Money. Oh, and it's MyChemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, and Panic! free. Tank Gawd. Unfortunately, We Are Scientists cancelled because they're recording, which really isn't that unfortunate at all.

My Chemical Romance Bassist Quits.

Don't expect much emo news from this site, but this looks fishy. It says their bassist quit because he got married and needs to spend more time with his "wife." I call bull$hit. Nobody in My Chemical Romance is into chicks. I wonder this "female wife" likes the fact that he and his friends dress in matching tight leather outfits and eyeliner as they sit in a dark basement writing poetry which inevitably include the words despair and death. Now all we need is to find a some emo chicks to marry the lead singer and whatever moron writes their trying-way-too-hard-to-be-epic lyrics. Emo chicks are as messed up as a Christopher Reeve slam dunk so this shouldn't be a surprise. I'll end on that note.
