Empire Of the Sun's Interactive Video
Technology is moving forward so quickly, and so many bands and artists are trying new things. It’s why this site exists. Our new favourite oddity is the latest video from Empire Of the Sun. For their We Are The People video, the band have created an Interactive Video. It lives here – once it finally […]
The Prince Ipod formerly known as $2100US
Prince has come along way in the last decade. Having left WB records, he fell off the radar after tattooing the word ‘Slave’ to his face, and recording mediocre albums like ‘Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic‘. Two years ago he made a triumphant return with 21 nights at London’s O2. He sold his albums with […]
Tuesday Tunes: God Help The Girl – Come Monday Night
God Help the Girl is the new project by Belle & Sebastian frontman Stuart Murdoch. It has been in the works for quite a few years – in fact it was made concurrently with B&S’s 2006 album the Life Pursuit. The key change here is the vocalists. Murdoch himself said that their last album was […]
Pixies – Minotaur: Yet another useless limited edition.
The Pixies used to be one of the great contenders. They never quite broke through like REM or even Sonic Youth. But they were loved and respected. Few people frowned when they reunited in 2004, and seemed to be bigger than they ever were. Which makes reissues of their badly packaged, badly sounding CDs seem […]
Everything Is Microblogged: The Streets on Twitter
In 2002, The Streets sang ‘Let’s Push Things Forward’ – a brilliantly eloquent middle finger to UK music culture, and how it stands still. 7 years and 4 albums later, the Streets (or, it’s main guy, Mike Skinner) is still pushing things forward. Skinner has been posting links to new songs on his Twitter. It’s […]
Wednesday Web: We Are Hunted
This site is exactly what we love about the internet. It’s the kind of thing that makes us happy to be alive and a music fan today. Forget ’63. You can have ’77. We love ’09. And we are dying to see ’10 as well. But back to WeAreHunted.com. WAH is an online chart with […]
Tuesday Tunes: Jarvis Cocker – 'Angela'
Here at TGLF, we loved Pulp. If we had a say, we would have cast their former frontman, Jarvis Cocker, as the 12th Doctor. And although his first solo album, 2006′s ‘Jarvis’, was not quite what we expected from him, we grew to love it. With that in mind, Cocker is offering a new track […]
Record Store Day 2009 – 18th April
Tomorrow, April 18th, is Record Store Day, a celebration of ma & pa stores around the world. Started in 2007 in the US, it gets bigger every year. It’s really starting to make an impact outside of America as well. Along with live performances in many stores, there is a stack of RSD retail exclusives. […]
…And the Law Won…?
In a landmark verdict in Sweden today, four men behind the number one P2P/Torrent website Pirate Bay, have been sentenced to one year in prison and £2.4 million in damages. However, the four men, Frederik Neij, Gottfrid Svartholm Warg, Carl Lundstrom and Peter Sunde, plan to appeal the verdict and remain in high spirits – […]
