So Pete Tong’s radio show over at the Radio 1 played some insane music last weekend. This one was one of a few great songs he dropped. Crookers have been getting a lot of love everywhere lately, and for good reason. With this “Get On Your Boots” remix, Crookers show us again how much fun a simple remix can be. I never thought I’d hear U2 like this, without it sucking big ones. Interesting combination indeed. Listen to it after the jump: Continue reading →
The White Stripes will be playing Conan’s final “Late Night,” before he takes over for Jay Leno for good on the “Tonight Show.” Thanks for the great pic, Pitchfork.
The band and the funny guy have a great history with each other- they’ve been on the show twice to promote their albums, and he’s been in one of their music videos! Check it out below, it’s a classic vid, directed by the fantastic Michael Gondry. So before Conan takes over Leno’s “Tonight Show” spot, make sure to catch the Stripes play his last “Late Show” on February 20th.
In other late-night television news, U2 will be David Letterman’s in-house residents for an unprecedented FIVE nights: March 2-6, to promote No Line on the Horizon, which drops March 3rd.
I’m a big “Get On Your Boots” fan, how optimistic are you about Bono’s new material?
U2 dropped the first single off their newest slice of music, No Line On The Horizon. I’ve always been a fan of U2 and admired them as a band. Just looking at their track record makes me a little dizzy. They are a rare band that constantly delivers the goods (nearly 30 years worth, even!). Since the 80s, U2 has provided for some of the greatest songs I’ve ever heard and they are constantly keeping it fresh by switching styles and redefining what it mean to “sound like U2.”
Not only do they have one of the most impressive careers in the business, but they are still releasing music that will be listened to for years to come yet. “Get On Your Boots” is perfect example of this. Nowhere would you have guessed a band that has been around as long as U2 has would responsible for this.
Judging by their last offering and this taste of their next one, the GRAMMYs better watch out in 2010. Catch a glimpse of the album and the tracklisting after the jump! Continue reading →
