News reaches us that the Smashing Pumpkins plan to release an EP of four acoustic tracks exclusively through Apple’s iTunes store.
The EP will be titled American Gothic and is due to be released on 2 January 2008. Although the release will be iTunes only stateside, the rest of the world will see a physical release also.
Funny how a great track can totally pass you by. I Write Sins Not Tragedies has been getting a load of radio play recently, so I assume it’s a new tune in the Fall Out Boy tradition.
Wrong. It was actually released in February and October last year.
I could write about how this sounds so like Fall Out Boy that it’s almost emo-by-numbers, but the truth is the song just rocks. What greater pleasure is there in life other than screaming “haven’t you people ever heard of/closing the goddamn door” at the top of your lungs?
Honor-bound to bring you new music, tonight Unreality Music introduces you to Diablo Swing Orchestra. Before you go any further, go over to MySpace and listen to their Balrog Boogie track. Then come back and we’ll talk about it.
Done it? Good. Now let’s talk…
If there’s one thing you’re guaranteed with Dave Grohl’s Foo Fighters it’s that every single they release will be an electrifying experience. Who’d have thought that the geeky-looking drummer from Nirvana would’ve managed to carve a stellar career and release such consistently fantastic music?
Needless to say, The Pretender doesn’t disappoint on any level. It starts out with some innocent sounding arpeggios, but soon bursts into life delivering the frenzy that has become a Foo Fighters trademark.

I discovered a couple of old tunes by bands I used to love - like Megadeth - and got introduced to a couple of metal acts I’d never heard of before, but really liked.
I got a friend request today from The Minority, a four piece band from Belfast who seem to be growing a substantial following on MySpace.
Their music is best described as psychedelic rock - thick harmonies, reverb and tremolo guitar effects and slow, shuffling beats. The band say their aim is to beat the musical mediocrity that has taken over the industry.
I think legally no publication in the UK is allowed to criticise the Gossip or Beth Ditto at the moment. Ditto seems to have become an overnight sensation and media darling in the UK. It’s not without substance either, because while you’ll read a lot about her view on weight issues, she’s a disarmingly funny and entertaining personality. I watched her guest stint on the Friday Night Project, and loved her sense of humour.
Apocalyptica are a band best known for their string-based covers of Metallica songs. Frustrating for the band, as they’ve been around since 1996 and doing a variety of different things in the intervening years.
Ahead of the release of their latest album, Worlds Collide, they’re releasing the new single I’m Not Jesus, which features Corey Taylor of Slipknot.
The Angry Mob is the third single from the Kaiser Chiefs‘ Yours Truly, Angry Mob album.In contrast to the preceding single, Everything Is Average, The Angry Mob is a much more engaging tune and does a far better job of getting its point across. For me, the Angry Mob single (and video) hark back to I Predict A Riot territory and Ricky Wilson makes some great social commentary:
