    It's been 25 years since the ZooTV Dublin gig

    One of their greatest gigs. I fondly remember listening to it on the radio live when I was very, very young. The cassette recording got played very often in those times. Top versions of pretty much everything (apart from With or Without You - I don't know if the painfully abbreviated version was...

    The X-Files is back for a 6-episode series

    the next mind-bending chapter is coming! | The X-Files on Fox My first pop culture obsession. And my only true pop culture heartbreak, due to how much damage was done in those last three seasons. Let's hope for the best! The second movie was not good. The last three seasons were pretty much...

    Faith No More - Sol Invictus

    The reunion record, coming out May 19th. I can't say I'm enamored by the singles, but some of the album songs played live showed promise. Let's hope for the best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKP98hDBJ8w

    A Top 15 Thread (with a catch)

    So, you name a band and write your 15 favorite songs. The catch is - the last letter of the 15th song by the poster right before you has to be the first letter of the 1st song of the band you choose. So basically, the song chooses the band. Example: if there is God forbid a poor soul out there...

    25th Anniversary of Daydream Nation

    It's been 25 years since this beast was unleashed. Beautiful melodies of Teen Age Riot, Candle and Cross the Breeze, sick noise breakdowns of Silver Rocket and Total Trash, guitar jams of The Wonder and Hey Joni that make you wonder if this instrument was ever meant to be utilized in such a...

    Yo La Tengo - Fade

    It has leaked. Discuss, rate etc.

    Soundgarden - King Animal

    As far as reunion albums go, this is not bad. It is not an embarrassment to their great legacy, it has some songs that are really, really good (A Thousand Days Before) and most importantly - it actually sounds like a Soundgarden album, with the exception of one sleazy track that does seem like...

    Ex-Yu/Balkan/Croatian/Serbian/Bosnian music

    To do a silly internet celebration, for the 4000th post (yay me), here are some of my favourite songs from a region whose music might not be well-known in the world, but has produced some of the most riveting music to these ears. The ex-Yugoslav music scene has been going on for decades - a huge...

    80s vs. 90s

    Black Sabbath Appreciation Thread

    In light of the recent news regarding the reunion, recording a new album and Tony Iommi's lymphoma diagnosis (get well soon!), I'm listening to this magnificent band more than usual. Anyone going to the concerts this year (if they do happen)? Listening to Master of Reality and it's amazing to...

    The Stone Roses Reunite

    It will be official in a half an hour or so at a scheduled press conference in London. The British media have been talking about it for the past few days. Yeah, reunions are not cool, and everybody knows they were godawful live, but I'm still a bit excited about this. Rumours say there could be...

    Most radical musical "reinventions"

    As we all know, the "cutting down The Joshua Tree" Achtung Baby/ZooTV reinvention was impressive and probably the main reason (along with Zooropa, Passengers and Pop) why I consider U2 to be one of the all-time greats. Radiohead's OK Computer/Kid A transition was another WTF move justifiably...

    U2 and Paul Greengrass' Bloody Sunday

    I've just seen Paul Greengrass' 2002 film Bloody Sunday and it's definitely a magnificent, albeit painfully realistic (shot in pure documentary style) depiction of this 1972 tragedy. In the end, when the credits start rolling, there is a live version of Sunday Bloody Sunday, similar to the...

    Frusciante leaves RHCP?

    http://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/john-frusciante-has-left-red-hot-chili-peppers-says-source-229551 I for one do not consider these news particularly tragic, since I stopped caring about the band around By the Way, as I was hugely unsatisfied with the direction the band was taking (with...

    The Bono/Jools Holland version of Velvet Dress is...

    ...simply spectacular. If you didn't hear it, get it (didn't find it on YouTube). Bono gives a great performance and the swing feel of it absolutely fits the song. In general, one of the most underrated songs in the U2 catalogue. Both the album version (try to listen to this in complete...

    Special rare live versions of songs

    Now, this thread doesn't have to be necessarily based on your favorite live versions of songs, but I'm looking for some information from the bootleg freaks about certain special live versions, that contained an extra verse, some new guitar parts, improvised solo... Things like that. Let me...

    Alice in Chains new album finished, release in September

    Alice in Chains I'm not sure if I'm comfortable with this... Layne Staley was one of the greatest vocalists of the 90s and AIC isn't the same without him. If this project would be under a different name, I would be definitely more interested. I'll probably hear it as soon as it comes out though.

    August 9 & 10 - Stadium Maksimir - Zagreb, Croatia

    Well, my fellow Interferencers, I'm absolutely delighted to see that U2 has finally, after years of false rumours or negotiations, included my hometown into their tour. One can expect amazing atmosphere and audience, typical for our country, even if the stadium is pretty crappy. Roll on August...

    Pearl Jam: Ten remaster on March 24th 2009

    Well, I've always been saying that U2 should take some lessons for their relationship towards fans from Pearl Jam, especially regarding setlists and live performances, but it looks to me they could learn a lot from the remasters as well. Pearl Jam's famous 1991 debut Ten is being remastered...

    Mudhoney

    If you didn't listen to this band yet... do it now. One of the best bands of the early 90's, a true representative of the Seattle music scene. Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge is a classic.

    The infamous Toronto 2005 bootlegs

    Hardly a day when I listen to the Vertigo bootlegs goes by that I don't think of the Toronto shows that started the 3rd leg. It had some awesome setlists, especially the 4th, last one with the tour premiere of Discotheque (together with Pop Muzik), One with Daniel Lanois, Ol' Man River with...
