New Kanye & short film

2012-05-26 15:07:57

Kanye West has always been identified by his sense of the grandiose, and the latest news surrounding him is no different.

On the 23rd, West premiered his short film titled Cruel Summer at the Cannes Film Festival. The film features Kid Cudi, Pusha T, Big Sean, Aziz Ansari, and Kanye himself, among other widely esteemed actors and musicians. It's essentially an "extended music video", comparable to his 'Runaway' short film. After the short film was premiered, West revealed during his speech that "I'm not the best director in the world or anything like that, but I had an idea. ... I could dream of, one day, this being the way that people watch
movies, in this form where it surrounds you and people want to go back and see it more and more because they missed something else to the left and missed something else to the right, and it felt more like the experience of life."

The short film also features a lot of new music that's supposedly going to be released sometime this year as its own album, also titled Cruel Summer. The music of Cruel Summer was described by those in attendance as bolstering "big complex production, huge beats."

New free Volor Flex album

2012-05-26 07:58:45

Russian artist Volor Flex, whose debut album Tramp couldn't escape the obvious Burial comparisons, has returned with his follow-up album less than 6 months later.

According to the label, "Alexandr is discreetly taking some distance from the somewhat controversial sound of "Tramp" in a follow up that will hopefully shape up his place in the 'church of Burialism' as more than just a tribute while keeping the eerie and emotive sound true to his main influence."

The sophomore album My Story is available for free streaming and downloadable with a name your own price (no minimum):

Metallica are not making money

2012-05-25 08:16:08

Metal-legends Metallica recently opened up to Rolling Stone about not being able to live off of royalties anymore. Kirk Hammet claims most of their income now comes from touring: 
“The cycles of taking two years off don’t exist anymore. We were able to do that because we had record royalties coming in consistently. Now you put out an album, and you have a windfall maybe once or twice but not the way it used to be — a check every three months.” 
The music industry is really in a crisis, isn't it?
