New Music News

    Broken Bells- DJ Danger Mouse + James Mercier of the Shins= Fantastic!







Smashing Pumpkins
There are two new tracks from his new 44 track project called "Teargarden by Kaleidyscope". They sound more like his his old side project Zwan then Smashing Pumpkins. But I will say I'm glad to hear he has stripped his goth sound that he's had since Adore. Being friends with Marilyn Manson did nothing for his sound.

The White Stripes -have a new album being released in March and is available for preorder in a boxset. It is the soundtrack called Under Great White Northern Lights chronicles the duo's 2007 Canadian Tour. The film will premiere at SXSW.

The Killers- The band was planning to go on hiatus after the Asia Tour concerts but have since canceled the tour.
    New Pornographers to Release Fifth Album this May.
    The Magnetic Fields have a new album "Realism" streaming on their Myspace. It's a stripped down "folk" version of the band that was recorded during "Distortion" tours.

Key West Commercial

I think this is the worst commercial ever. The tagline must have been something created in a drunken state of somekind.
