NEW Never Give Up Nobita! "Ashley"!

Bandung synth-punkers Never Give Up Nobita just released a new single called "Ashley". Available here!

Here are sample lyrics... (Warning: It's not Shakesphere. Lol.)

"baby, lets see how the things will be
when did my heart break love comes as something new
but why do you do the the things that make me hate you
the way you keep me upset
but you still hang on my breath

you never realize when i'm angry
you put your jealousy when i got a crush on your sister
ashley, what you have done to me?
i'm tired being up and down
just tell me that you love me"

Roflmao, right?

ICONIC ROCK GUITARIST SLASH TO RELEASE FIRST SOLO ALBUM

After the mediocre semi-industrial-hard-rock album that released by GnR, his former band a few years ago, we may all hope this album would have more killer guitar licks, or else we're going to lose our faith to the hard-rock-icon comeback album, (if there any), in the future.

And here's what the publicist said about the album.

In what will be his first true solo album, rock icon Slash announced today his album, "Slash", will release in April 2010. The album features an all-star roster of guest musicians including Ian Astbury, Chris Cornell, Rocco DeLuca, Fergie, Dave Grohl, Myles Kennedy, Kid Rock, Lemmy Kilmeister, Adam Levine of Maroon 5, Duff McKagan, M. Shadows of Avenged Sevenfold, Ozzy Osbourne, Iggy Pop, and Andrew Stockdale of Wolfmother.

 A major undertaking for Slash, he enlisted services of producing partner Eric Valentine (Queens of Stone Age, The All-American Rejects) and compiled a rhythm section of bassist Chris Chaney (Jane's Addiction) and drummer Josh Freese (Nine Inch Nails). Slash handled the majority of arranging and songwriting duties and hand-picked each guest artist. The album's guests worked collaboratively with Slash to round out the song.

 "The idea was really simple in the beginning," said Slash. "These are all artists I wanted to work with – that I thought it would be amazing to do something creative and collaborative. And I was so impressed with what everyone brought to the table. They were all so committed to doing a good job. And we had a lot of fun making these songs."

The "Slash" album is produced by Dik Hayd Records, LLC and will be released exclusively through Universal Music Limited for Asian region (excluding Japan).

Grovesnor - Taxi From the Airport (mp3)

Hot Chip's drummer Rob Smoughton announcing his solo album through Lo Recording, that will be available at record store in 25 may 2010. The album itself ironically titled "Soft Return".
And here's what he said about the album:

"The music is not pastiche, I love that stuff too much. Lyrically, there's another thing going on. You can write a novel from another person's perspective but when you write a song and use the words 'I' and 'You' then there's often an assumption it's personal. The ambiguity of 'is he for real' is where Grovesnor comes in. He's more of an anti-hero, and often makes mistakes or chooses the wrong path at pivotal moments. If there's comedy in these songs, then that's just the tragedy amplified to comic proportions."

And you can download the first single "Taxi From the Airport" to preview the album.
