...music struggles. 'Illmatic'- urban poverty. 'Hip Hop Is Dead'- the recent degradation of the quality of hip-hop music. 'Streets Disciple'- the women in Nas' life. And where the focus isn't there, neither is the quality. 'Nastradamas'- whilst still a cut above normal fare, arguably Nas' worst LP- flitted between themes 9 albums into his...

...music from Muse is a bonus at this point in time. They most certainly deserve a rest after the seminal space opera of 'Black Holes & Revelations', and yet, I get the feeling that they're holed up somewhere (Mars at a guess) working out how to overcome the limitations of a 6 string electric guitar, drum kit and standard bass guitar However,...

Keane shock the internet.

...music. Some people have been converted I like Keane. There, I said it. Some might say they're a tad, well, predictable, but that's not hard to overcome. The only hang-up I have is with their live performances- namely, the use of pre-recorded sounds in the background which are cued by a technician. See, that's not strictly live, unless the...

Kings Of Leon stream single 'Sex On Fire'

2008-08-05 09:31:00 by Will Hines in The Cold Cut
 
I'm not going to post this one (it's red-hot- if you had synesthesia, this song would have 'cease and desist' written all over it), but you should hop over to Myspace for an exclusive first listen to Kings Of Leon's single, 'Sex On Fire'. Instead, enjoy an early song from the 'Holy Roller Novocaine' EP. 'Sex On Fire' is another brilliant...

Sunshine Mix.

So, same old, same old. I will now be enjoying my last day of Barcelona. I've never done this before, but here's a little role play of what I believe my Sunday in Barca will be like Ooh, it's sunny here. 30 degrees, in fact (Celsius, people!).

Young Jeezy- 'Put On'

Young Jeezy- Put On (Official Remix ft. Jay-Z) (Link 2 Aah, Young Jeezy. In all honest, I find he sounds a little like Lil' Wayne, but without the level of wit. And yet, sometimes, his stuff is a guilty pleasure. His section at the end of 'Love In The Club' was fun, and now we have the official remix of 'Put On It's noteworthy because of one...

...music... until now). In short, this song is nigh-on perfect, and once again, they appear to be moving onwards and upwards. The question is, will the Kings ever hit a wall? On the basis of this and the three preceding albums, I wouldn't bet on it The album's first single is called 'Fri On Fire'. No news on the release yet, but a mid-August...
