“By the time I was about 18, somebody played me Sun House. And that was it for me.” That was the moment when Jack White was born. Most prominent as one half of the now defunct band, The White Stripes, Jack White has since been part of The Racountuers, Dead Weather and also collaborated with Bob Dylan, Jeff Beck, The Rolling Stones and Alicia Keys among others.

Slash: A Modern Legend

On July 10, 2012 Hollywood Boulevard saw yet another addition to the Walk Of Fame – Slash. So that’s about the twenty seven thousandth feather on Slash’s (top) hat. No wonder he never takes that thing off. It must weigh about a million pounds by now.

Believe: Bieber's Transition Into Musical Adulthood

I always find it a little amusing how people seem to have such strong feelings about Justin Bieber, They either love him or they can’t stand him. From his debut album, we have been hearing on and on about how his voice does not appeal to many, his music is not matured and so on. But, with this recent album, chances are that people will start taking this teenage pop start a little more seriously. His newest album ‘Believe’ shows that the star has truly matured in terms of his music and dishing out some work that is worth praising.

New John Frusciante Record For 2012

After a 3 year hiatus, John Frusciante is back with his 12^th solo record. Letur-Lefr, releasing on 16^th/17^th July 2012, is a 5-track EP from the ex-Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist.  Frusciante had shown commendable mastery of studio techniques in his last solo record, The Empyrean and carries on in the same vein with his 12^th release. If you’ve heard tracks from The Empyrean, the use of analog synthesizers in his songs should not be new to you. Having said that, Letur-Lefr is nothing like its predecessor. The EP is filled with synth sounds and guitar tracks are, to be honest, a minority. Then again, that’s John Frusciante for you, always going for something new, ever-surprising.
