Metallica, 10 Years, Rise Against

With the summer slowing down, new music is becoming more rare. However, this week has been pretty big on new music. Metallica recently released their newest song, "The Day that Never Comes." It comes from their upcoming album "Death Magnetic," which is set to be released September the 12th of this year. This song definitely isn't my favorite from them, but I will have to hear it a couple more times before I make my final judgement.



10 Years have been having a lot of success lately. Their new album has a lot of good stuff on it, so I figured that I would share another one of their songs off of their latest album they released in May, "Division." They toured this summer on the Project Revolution Tour, which featured such bands as Linkin Park, Ashes Divide, and Chris Cornell.



Rise Against has been busy this summer with performing at the Warped Tour and putting the finishing touches on their latest album which is set to be released on October 7th, 2008. This is a track from this album called, "Re-Education(Through Labor)"

McDonalds does NOT rock...

...except if I'm hung over as hell or want fries to stay undigested in my colon for 3 months...ya know, save 'em for later kind of thing. I guess this was an ad in Brazil...to cater to those who love Sepultura.

Bluesman's world

Bluesman's world is a (proudly) Hungarian owned blog. The blog does World Music (a lot of good Hungarian stuff), ethno, folk and even some gipsy. I even saw some good old klezmer, well done! The blog started in April this year and is updated on a daily basis. This one is well worth checking out for those who want to hear something new!

Modern Music

We were told that we forgot to include Modern Music. Well, I guess we did. Modern Music is a cool and recommended mostly Indie (but also Pop) oriented music blog. A place to listen to sample MP3s and to read reviews of (mostly) new albums before actually buying/ downloading them. In other words, not a place to download the whole thing, but rather to taste before possible acquisition (or download). The reviews are not bad and pretty critical (which I personally find a plus), the downloads are solid and mostly go through Rapidshare. Not bad, not bad at all!

Splash en los Oidos

And the reviews keep on coming. Splash en los Oidos is a Spanish (mostly English) Indie blog. I have seen Air, Architecture in Helsinki, The Walkmen and even Dido among other things. The owner(s) post about two to three posts a week which is a tad of downside. Anyways, check it out yourself.

The Trance

TIP-TIP-TIP-TIP-TIP-TIP-TIP-TIP

The Trance is the TIP of the day. A massive and diverse amount of vinyl at arms length. Definitely worth a visit for your 1970s and 1980s pop and disco. Most of the stuff posted here I was initially unfamiliar with, but this soon changed as I filled up my hard drives! This one was a pleasant surprise! Enjoy!

Bug In The City

Bug In The City is an eclectic blog which in other words does almost everything. Expect, Dj Krush (Turntablism, Hip Hop), Adjeef The Poet (Dutch pop), Schwabinggrad Ballet (Prog. Ballet), Brain Donor (Classic Rock), aparagonofbeauty (Avant Jazz Rock) and other lesser known musicians and music streams. Well worth a visit to find new things (at least for me it proved to be a good source of a lot of novelties).
