Smoke & Jackal is the new musical project of Jared Followill

Recent years have been torture for fans of Kings Of Leon. Undeniably KOL are not in your best time: after canceling several tours as disparate reasons, members of the band that gave us "Because Of The Times" and "Only By The Night" live immersed in absolute silence, as if it knew in a clear and accurate if they, as a band having future. I do not know if you remember but went to the October 31, 2011 that Nathan told the media that this break would not last more than six months, but here we are restless and anxious, knowing nothing of what these guys are thinking .

Luckily not all idle within Kings Of Leon, Jared Followill, bassist, has just announced that it has joined Nick Brown (Mona) to form a new band called Smoke & Jackal. Surprisingly this interesting duo has already recorded an EP - "EP1" - which will be released on October 16 on RCA Records. Smoke & Jackal apparently recorded this small compact compact in less than a week in the studio in Nashville Brown. "It was all about tone and vibration we felt in that moment" - said Brown in a statement. "No second thoughts, just wanted to enjoy every moment."

The first breakthrough in this work, which will be released on August 28 via iTunes Store and is titled 'No Tell', and can be played right in this post. True, I did not expect anything of the song but I'm out enjoying it. The tiny pop with bluesy reminiscences of 'not Tell' is very reminiscent of U2 and those of the 80 subjects inciting night driving in complete solitude.

We will have to monitor what these two guys. Who knows, maybe there is a lot more crumbs Smoke & Jackal what may appear at first glance.

The musical interests of the members of Band Of Horses has exceeded any expectations in recent months. On the one hand launched Tyler Ramsey "The Valley Wind" in September 2011. Ryan Monroe, who is in the leadership training keyboard born in Seattle, did the same with "A Painting Of A Painting In Fire" will issue only a couple of months. Even the bass player (Bill Reynolds) has been busy with various projects of a commercial nature under Tsunami Producer Management. All this movement has led us to ask a question: What Ben Bridwell? Will we get to enjoy a day of some kind of solo album from legendary singer of the band of horses? The answer to this puzzling question has been revealed in an interview with Spanish magazine Rockzone publish on its September issue.

"I recorded my first solo album a year ago." - Ben commented on the known state of alternative rock magazine. "It is recorded, mixed and mastered. What happened is that is not yet a perfect time to launch. I now know is that I'll get to work to record a second in this upcoming Christmas. I've long given the idea of ​​launching in 2015 a "dayview" boxset. I know it is still a long time to reach that point but I must respect the contract I signed at the time with Band Of Horses, and the seal that binds me until then. "

There is still a pile to get the 2015 but is great to know that the interesting singer of the band is getting full recording of personal things. Who knows? Maybe the issues sound so lonely and so well as' Heartbreak 101 'or' St. Augustine ', one of the issues in more printing "Bridwell" of all published to date. Already eager to throw the gauntlet to the boxset ...

The best female voice in the rock business: Halestorm live backstage

From left to right: Josh Smith (bass), Lzzy Hale (vocals), Joe Hottinger (guitar) and Arejay Hale (drums) - photo: PGM Promoters Group Munich Concert AgencyWho earlier this year in February, has already had the pleasure of experiencing the hard rock quartet Halestorm as support for Shinedown in the theater factory, now has every reason to rejoice, because on 10/10/2012 Halestorm come back to Munich - but not this time as opening act, but as a headliner. You can see there the whole in the backstage room. The two hallmarks of Halestorm are also named after the band because the enchanting singer Elizabeth (from fans and colleagues affectionately called "Lzzy") and the crazy drummer Arejay both share the same last name Hale.
The sibling pair convinced the one by Lzzys incredible rock voice, which is not without reason by some critics as the "best female voice in rock 'n' Roll" ("best female voice in rock and roll business") refers. On the other stand by Halestorm Arejays crazy drum solos from the foul amount produced. At the last gig in Munich earned Arejay incredible audience reaction, because, among other things, he used his stick as pools and about half of its individual parts played with bare hands.
More than 300,000 copies sold of their self-titled debut album and two Top 10 singles in the USA with the radio hit "Get Off" and "It's Not You" speak for themselves.

Halestorm to offer an unusual and impressive stylistic diversity openness. That (s) has to be open to new things in the male-dominated world of hard rock music, alone Halestorm show already by several song titles on her new album: From the popular themes of world literature such as "Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde "is" Mz Hyde "(" Misses Hyde "and spoke instead of hackneyed phrases like)" Brothers of Darkness Daughters of Darkness "(the" Daughters of Darkness ")" of the will "... singing and sometimes crying. Just rock singer.
Lzzy makes no distinction between authentic heavy metal poses and fashion spreads in magazines. Offensive, powerful, yet sexy and feminine at the same time - no problem for them. Their ties with the hard style music Halestorm demonstrated both extensive tours (by Shinedown including with Stone Sour, Disturbed, Megadeth, Papa Roach) and published on the 2010 EP "reanimate". On this EP they covered songs from Skid Row, Guns n'Roses or Temple of the Dog and even took before and even a Beatles Lady Gaga track. It was an allusion to the fact that one might expect for the upcoming album a new direction.
This realignment has definitely succeeded in April, published with the album "The Strange Case Of ...", because the record demonstrating Triet all the stylistic diversity of this young quartet. The first single, "Love Bites (So Do I)", which immediately landed at number 10 of the U.S. charts, Halestorm took on their toughest and fastest song so far.
In contrast, there are some very intimate, sometimes on the piano and soulful ballads, intoned, arranged pop-oriented moments. "We have thrown all our experiences in the pan and spread in every direction," says Lzzy. "There are absolutely no restrictions on us. This is the ultimate freedom. "

Great musical moments from the TV series

Before getting into the whole mess of memory Binaural spend much of my free time to watch TV series. My love affair with them began with "The OC", a series of adolescent nature led me to discover the world of "soap operas" air teenager. From this I drifted towards products of all kinds: from Supernatural, Prison Break or True Blood until Californication, Alias, The Big Bang Theory or the classic of classics which was consolidated with JJ Abrams: "Lost".
This post is a modest tribute to those times when music has had a leading role on the small screen. The selection is very subjective so I would love to pudieseis attached in this post, by way of comment, those other scenes from TV shows you liked most.
Be careful with the spoilers of the videos!
Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah
The first season of The OC was the first I swallowed in life but it took a long time to feel attached to end the series. That was permanently in the Season Finale of the 1st temp. where, in a masterly way, the filmmaker mixed in slow motion images of Orange County with the delightful musical texture of 'Hallelujah' by Jeff Buckley.
Vertical Horizon - Give You Back (
Alias ​​is a series that fascinated me, fascinates me and fascinate me for the rest of my life. Many people know this but the reality is that the whole legend of JJ Abrams began with the appearance on the scene of the character of the intriguing spy Sydney Bristow. The end of the first episode, with a conversation between Sydney and her father and "Give You Back 'by Vertical Horizon playing in the background led me to know what you might be able to this great classic of the idiot box.
Mama Cass Elliot - Make Your Own Kind Of Music
Speaking of "Lost" is the same as talking 'Make Your Own Kind Of Music', a classic of Mama Cass Elliot who became ultra popular because of the spectacular intro of the first episode of the second season of this series. Who was not checkered with what happened in this episode? The guest appearance of Desmond left me speechless. What about you?
Pearl Jam - Nothingman
I must confess that 'Nothingman' has always been my favorite song. It is this fact which compels me to admit the great affection I have for the end of 2 × 10 of "Californication". Few scenes in this series show the tender side romanticón and Hank Moody, probably the wildest character on American television. I still remember the "Unfaithfully yours, Hank Moody" in the final seconds. Do not you think that this scene was worthy of a season finale? I do believe so!.
Popout
Snow Patrol - Run (One Tree Hill 1 × 22):
I will say of One Tree Hill. I grew up with this series on the WB / The CW and even today I continue to love her. Musically, it was one that had better sequences. One of them was the last episode of season one. A season finale in capital letters, with 'Run' by Snow Patrol as a backdrop and a Luke Scott had no choice but to flee the place where he had grown.
Survivor - Eye Of The Tiger
This is probably one of the horny scenes of the recent history of the U.S. series. And best of all, began as a mere making false and not another narrative sequence number of the brothers Winchester. The work of Jensen Ackles is acojonante, what is the bastard estilazo!.
Tony Lucca - Devil Town
No voice-over. Without any part of the score of Explosions In The Sky. A hair, the raw. Such was the dramatic end of the first season of Friday Night Lights, which we used to see as a visual overview everything that had been happening in the small town of Dillon (Texas). Interestingly musical managers Friday Night Lights had chosen the cover of "Devil Town" by Bright Eyes as a first choice for the soundtrack of this point of the season, but the band Conor Oberst flatly refused. Luckily Tony Lucca composition there was nothing wrong with the sequence.
Bloc Party - Modern Love
We just our review of this first part of the post with the sequence starring Robin and Ted Mosby in the season finale of "How I Met Your Mother". Rain, "love is in the air 'and' Modern Love 'by Bloc Party in two of the sweetest moments of the entire series on CBS.

The pedestrian zone

In the late 1960s, was Germany's longest pedestrian street as an urban feat. The objectives of the city were high: Full-bodied was sought "to life filled areas to create, complement each other and into the side streets into effect" in order to find an "optimal solution which over the centuries shaped image of the road and . open spaces increases in efficiency and revived, the people familiar Munich city as intensively as possible, bring near and recognize that Munich's own life of a city with ancient heritage makes "The price was high: not only the commercialization of the much vaunted road convoy Kaufinger- / Neuhauser Strasse and the atrophy of the parallel streets to delivery zones, but also the widespread abandonment of the remaining streets and street scenes around the old town, which they did without hesitation to sacrifice just pushed away from the old cars. Munich would become a town around the center, through which one could pass unhindered through it - just what if the buildings on the right and left largely to the pickaxe had been handed over?
A plan so right from the venom of the closet "Free travel for free citizens' group from the 1960s shows how Munich was to be rebuilt at the same time with the system of the highly acclaimed pedestrian zone. With this plan, the city in anyPublication appears in any official cost is - so it appears that the city be ashamed of his now - Munich's city planners have the time on the basis of the first urban development plan in 1963, the so-called Jensen's plan to create Remedur: The car that went like this then the Currency must, everywhere and anywhere. And takes the city for drivers and the pedestrian zone, the passage way through the city center, then the car would have to transport, the former belief, wide aisles be beaten elsewhere. By bombing the city was already badly damaged - that had favored the proposed radical cure certain. But Munich was destroyed a total of less than many other German cities.
One no longer comprehensible Abrisswut has eliminated without even alleged traffic needs in the 1960s and 1970s, valuable building stock. That, though, the city council of Munich decided to rebuild its traditional form in 1945. Erwin Schleich has published about this "second destruction of Munich's" 1978, a book well worth reading today, which, significantly, the time could not appear in a Munich publishing house, had come out but in Stuttgart. But the traffic planning of the 1960s, "cleaning up" history would have been concerned with thoroughly. It shows the plan shown here. All road sections marked red in it should get bridges and ramps, all dotted lines indicate planning of underpasses for motor vehicle traffic.
For example, should the heart be in Schwabing, in the Boulevard Leopold about the level of the university canteen, a ramp dug into the ground from which would have made a tunnel under the entire eastern Schwabing and into the already in Hitler's time for a broad parade avenue rolled-out Queen Street will lead, by the turn, want to propose in a tunnel beneath the present-day eastern city ring through to a route that had been across the Gärtnerplatzviertel, and then again in a tunnel beneath the flower street and Sendlinger-Tor-Platz to enter into the corresponding aufzubrechende Pestalozzi Street.
The Barerstrasse would be between the district and art galleries in the City Hall was broken by a wide runway, and then in turn should result in a tunnel under the road and the sun Sendlinger Gate Square through to the south. The route through the city ring tunnel between Prinz-Carl-Palais and St. Mark's Church was finally connected with ramps in the western Gabelsbergerstraße lead to a high bridge, which should result without crossing over the Schleißheimerstraße across the street at Dachau. The narrow section of road would be eliminated entirely Schleißheimer the street from the train station should be in a straight line and broken super wide to the north. Virtually, of course, the planners had removed from that time in favor of such thoroughfares, the roadside development with the same. Instead, were scheduled individually standing buildings and in which the health department at the Dachau / corner Gabelsbergerstraße is one of the few realized (and probably soon to be torn again) examples.
Even outside the former city, the excavator should have put away the familiar image of Munich radically. The plan shows the proposed four-lane tunnel parallel with Isar under the Prince Regent, of Maximilian, the Fraunhofer Zweibrückenund the street at the Reichenbach Bridge. To create this highway, there were only two alternatives: either the turn of the century building on the banks of the Isar off or uproot the tree avenues along the river. Perhaps even more radical was the planning of another north-south freeway across Haidhausen. This should be at the sacrifice of many street Ismaninger Haidhauser buildings to Rosenheimerplatz and further broken to Giesing. It would have been a pleasure to drive on all these roads, but a frustration of having to look right and left, as here, the city had been thoroughly destroyed.
This destruction was followed, however, a former ideology. Inner cities - that they knew of cities like Hamburg or Hannover - should be no more homes, but take only offices and shops. Core area of ​​use was das. residential building in the center would also disappear soon anyway, and thought the plan was. Since the Lehel was seen as part of the center, left to its old buildings gradually deteriorated. Where was renewed, at the site of the Insurance Board, for example, were built and administrative cases, such as one sees today, shaking his head, ever to half the depth of the building taken back from the road, so this would be widened. As has been awarded the European Patent Office in Munich, one of the core area offered quite safely use an entire street of well-preserved century architecture on the banks of the Isar, in order to build the new office next to the German Patent Office can. This was after the war but also on the banks of the Isar, but built on a former military area. How shortsighted the location decision of the European Patent Office, was seen from the fact that the now necessary extensions to be built entirely in another place, namely as three branches in the southern surroundings of hacker bridge, outside the Old City without proximity to the original building and the German Patent Office on the banks of the Isar could.
It was not the last time resulting in Munich forum that had been forming against Diesey Munich for "car-friendly city" front. The inner circular tunnel under the Prinz-Carl-Palais was the most obvious stumbling block, and commenced the planned conversion of the Lehel another affront to the local citizens. It is the task of planning at that time of the first urban development plan of 1964 (Jensen) plan, an exclusive use area in the center core, living in the suburbs, with the "pink zones" plan heralded a change. From the single manufactured Led by the so-called Isar parallel in the Iffland at the level of the Tivoli Park, the respective second lane for moving traffic is blocked and discarded the rest of the expansion plan, as well as the other monstrous renovation fantasies of contemporary designers. Underground and suburban railways have defined the priorities of traffic in the center of Munich since scratch. With them, it was verified that the European city can be adapted without serious damage to the modern needs of mobilization, so is suitable for this purpose because of its ideal density. And defended the city now living in the city and even demands for new buildings in the old city as a living standard back share of 30 percent or even just where they had already been displaced. The fact that the local real estate prices in this way, only expensive luxury homes are manufactured, is another matter.
