Watch: Julian Casablancas + The Voidz new album trailer

It’s no secret that Strokes frontman has been working on a new solo album, to follow his 2009 solo effort Phrazes For The Young, and today he revealed the album title with a cool looking/sounding album trailer.

Instead of being boring and just putting his own name on the album, he’s gone for something a bit more interesting and called the ‘project’ Julian Casablancas + The Voidz. Whether The Voidz is a new backing band or just a ‘whacky’ name remains to be seen.

Top 10 acoustic guitar songs – ever!

I had the idea to do a post about the best acoustic guitar songs and thought it would be fun to try and put together a list of my favourites. As soon as I started though, the ‘fun’ turned to despair as I had to start choosing which classics to include and which to leave out. It’s not easy, trust me!

After much deliberation, here’s my list of the best acoustic guitar songs ever recorded. Some aren’t strictly acoustic, but they’re all heavily-reliant on an acoustic guitar.

I’d love to know what you guys think so leave your suggestions in the comments at the bottom and maybe we can start building a bigger list.

01. Pink Floyd – ‘Wish You Were Here’

Has Download lost its edge?

This post is more of an open question than a definitive piece, because I know there’s bigger and more knowledgeable metal-heads than me out there! I ask the question because, as the headliners for Download were being announced earlier this week, I couldn’t remember a weaker looking set of headliners for the UK’s premier ROCK […]

Listen: Tame Impala – ‘Mind Mischief’ (The Field remix)

There’s something about Tame Impala’s particular brand of woozy, spaced-out psych-rock that makes them eminently remixable. The latest remix of a Lonerism track to pop up on the internet is The Field’s reworking of ‘Mind Mischief’, which will feature on the single release of the track along with a remix by Ducktails. The Field’s remix […]

Prince is definitely not playing Glastonbury, says Emily Eavis

And so the Glastonbury rumour mill rolls on!

Prince has been heavily linked with a headline slot at this years Worthy Farm festival, what with his numerous shows in London and Manchester recently, but that has all been shot down by organiser Emily Eavis today in an interview with 6Music. Speaking to the radio station about whether they had booked Prince, Eavis said:
