Part Two in a series of uninspiring Video Posts focusing heavily on Strokes-related news. This time around, lead Arctic Monkey ragamuffin Alex Turner, has a stab at Room On Fire’s thumping second track, “Reptilia”. Not without a little help from his friend, ex-Test Icicle Devonte Hynes AKA Lightspeed Champion, of course. Yep. That’s pretty much [...]

Ever wonder who/what was attached the rest of of the gloved-hand-resting-on-bare-buttock that so famously graced The Strokes’ seminal 2001 debut, Is This It? Well wonder no more. Apparently Goldenfiddle has (had) the scoop, and we’re proud to present it to you here in a glorious embedded video format that isn’t YouTube!

When did one of the world’s largest annual music polls become less about the general quality of songwriting in 2007, and more about what song was the most dope to play in Expert mode on Guitar Hero III? For the record, no, I do not like Muse’s six minute, almost farcical (sounds like a “Weird [...]

I don’t know about you, but when I have a sort throat I just stick a Strepsil in my pie-hole and shut up about it. Björk, however, feels it’s necessary to pull out of Sydney Big Day Out, instead. After playing an amazing show under a full moon at the Opera House on Wednesday night, [...]

Although originally [...]

As with all great product tie-ins, the Eels have unashamedly taken the profitable “You’ve read the book, now buy the hit soundtrack!” route. As you may have heard, Mark Oliver Everett (a man called ‘E’) will be releasing the memoirs of his Royal Tenenbaum-esque genius-upbringing next month, entitled Things The Grandchildren Should Know. Though if [...]

It’s been revealed that the “wild” (uh oh, I see where this is headed) Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ lead singer, Karen O, will be producing the soundtrack for Spike Jonze’s upcoming 2009 screen adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s 1963 children’s classic, Where The Wild Things Are.

The evidently nerdy Jona Bechtolt of The Blow and YACHT fame is set to ride the musical tech-product cash-in wave with the perfect compliment for the newly announced, super thin laptop, the MacBook Air: the AirMail sleeve.

If you’re in the possession of a keen set of eyes, you may have noticed that 12MC has been following the career of Darren Cross’ 100% Natural Good-Time One-Man Electronica Band, The E.L.F., with the keen interest of a scheming Sith Lord in search of an apprentice and Galactic Domination. (In fact, last April we [...]

If you think you’ve got what it takes to design something that “incorporates cutting edge graphics with a contemporary feel”, then this is the gig for you! Those wacky cool kids, The Hives, are getting even wackier and asking fans to design the cover for their next single.
The 10″ single, titled “We Rule The [...]
