His 'n' Hers is the fourth studio album by English rock band Pulp, released on 18 April 1994 by Island Records. It proved to be the band's breakthrough album, reaching number nine on the UK Albums Chart, and was nominated for the 1994 Mercury Music Prize.

Four years after the release of their landmark debut in 2004, MTV VMA Award-winning, Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum Island Records group The Killers have completed their fourth album - and first new studio album in two years - DAY & AGE, featuring the new single, "Human" debuting worldwide September 22nd, while the digital single will be released September 30th. The new album hits stores November 25th - two days before Thanksgiving.
DAY & AGE was produced by Stuart Price, a key figure in electronic music (Les Rhythmes Digitales) who previously worked with The Killers on "Don't Shoot Me Santa," their 2007 Christmas single; as well as music on their 2007 compilation, Sawdust. Over the past five years, Price has worked as a producer, mixer, programmer, and keyboardist, including The Killers' "Mr Brightside" remix which was Grammy Nominated.
The Killers - Brandon Flowers on vocals and keyboards, guitarist David Keuning, bassist Mark Stoermer, and drummer Ronnie Vannucci - found time to complete their new album while also wrapping up their biggest summer rock festival season in the U.S. and abroad. Historic headlining gigs at England's prestigious Leeds and Reading fests coincided with an appearance on the cover of NME's August 8th issue. Earlier in 2008, the Killers took home top honors for Best Band of the Year and Best Track of the Year ("Tranquilize") at the annual NME Awards USA gala, at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles on April 23rd.
DAY & AGE comes one year after the release of Sawdust (November 2007), a 17-song collection of previously unreleased session tracks, B-sides, rarities and one-offs. The album was assembled at a recording studio in New York's Hell's Kitchen, where the Killers worked with Rock And Roll Hall Of Famer Lou Reed two recordings. Two singles and videos were issued: "Shadowplay" (from the motion picture soundtrack of Control, Anton Corbijn's biopic of Ian Curtis), and "Tranquilize".
The Killers' RIAA platinum second album Sam's Town (October 2006) debuted at #2 and spun off two hit singles: the #1 Modern Rock "When You Were Young," nominated for Grammy Awards for Best Rock Song and Best Short Form Music Video; and "Read My Mind," the band's first #1 at Triple-A. Their worldwide 5 million-selling debut Hot Fuss (June 2004) was the longest-running rock album inside the top 50 on the Billboard 200 albums chart for all of 2005, logging 94 weeks on the chart - 53 of those inside the Top 50. The album spun off four solid hit singles - the Grammy-nominated anthem, "Somebody Told Me," the VMA-winning (and Grammy-nominated) "Mr. Brightside," the Modern rock hit "Smile Like You Mean It," and the Grammy-nominated "All These Things That I've Done."

"Human" is a song by American rock band the Killers. Written and produced by the band members and co-produced by Stuart Price, it was released as the first single from their third studio album Day & Age (2008).

Suede is the debut album by English alternative rock band Suede, released in March 1993 on Nude Records. At the time the fastest-selling debut album in British history, Suede debuted at the top of the UK Album Chart, won the 1993 Mercury Music Prize, and is often credited with starting the Britpop movement. The sound of the album has been compared to The Smiths and the early David Bowie era.

Placebo are an English rock band, formed in London in 1994 by vocalist–guitarist Brian Molko and bassist–guitarist Stefan Olsdal. Drummer Robert Schultzberg joined in late 1994, but left in 1996 shortly after the release of the band's eponymous debut album due to conflicts with Molko, and was replaced the same year by Steve Hewitt.

我觉得和第一张那时候的心态和冲劲都不一样了了，当然那时候已经有六七年的那种祭奠了，表现二十岁左右的那种状况都在第一张里体现了，过了那个时间岁数也大了，年轻时的冲动会少好多，我也觉得年轻时的那个东西挺冲的，让我感到那个时候的激情，对我以前的总结我是挺满意的。但是从那以后肯定就是因为音乐审美趋向的问题呀还有就是从歌词和表达的东西上更具体了，更接近生活的表面上和一些感受的东西。而第一张主题都比较大，都是那种世界观根本上的问题。我觉得那些就只能写一次了，所以现在就要找一些比较好玩呀或是比较有感觉的主题来表达。第一张专集从歌上说几乎每首歌都带变速，特别复杂的结构和特别细腻的和声转调，这张的和声特别简单没有一首是变速的，全都是在一个律动里边找一个东西。然后就在这些基本结构里做发挥和表现。然后就是有很多旋律感很好听的感觉其实第一张的感觉也是特别复杂的，可以说有另外一种审美取向。这张加了好多电子乐里用的电鼓啊，还有一些音色呀但这也不是很多，也只是有这样一个方向，有些还是吉他贝司鼓的这种设置。但是我在写这张的时候原则就是律动感和旋律性都能够在现场演出时跳起来。

Marvel's upcoming sci-fi movie bringing a whole new meaning to "Space Jam."
Keeping the hype machine rolling for Marvel's upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy flick, writer/director James Gunn gave fans a little peek at the songs included on the movie's uniquely retro soundtrack. Posting on Facebook Tuesday, Gunn first released the image (shown) that will grace the cover of the official soundtrack before later announcing the official track list.
Fans that have watched the Guardians of the Galaxy trailers already know that one of Peter Quill's (Chris Pratt) most cherished items is his old school Sony Walkman and a mix tape of songs he made before being taken into space as a child. According to Gunn, the track list for the soundtrack includes:
Blue Swede - "Hooked on a Feeling"
Raspberries - "Go All the Way"
Norman Greenbaum - "Spirit in the Sky"
David Bowie - "Moonage Daydream"
Elvin Bishop - "Fooled Around and Fell in Love"
10cc - "I'm Not in Love"
Jackson 5 - "I Want You Back"
Redbone - "Come and Get Your Love"
The Runaways - "Cherry Bomb"
Rupert Holmes - "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)"
The Five Stairsteps - "O-O-H Child"
Marvin Gaye/Tammi Terrell - "Ain't No Mountain High Enough"
When asked about the songs included in the movie and the soundtrack, Gunn stated, "Marvel was kind enough to shell out for every single song I requested." Also, he let fans know that the songs which made it onto the soundtrack aren't all the songs he used during filming, writing:
"NOTE this is not the entirety of the Mixed Tape that Peter Quill listens to, the one that I gave to Chris Pratt that he listened to endlessly before the movie started. That is a longer list, that includes these songs, among others. I'll release that full list closer to the release of them film."
Guardians of the Galaxy hits theaters nationwide on Friday, August 1st. The official soundtrack is scheduled to release earlier that week on Tuesday, July 29th

The Smiths is the debut studio album by English rock band The Smiths, recorded in 1983 and released on 20 February 1984 by record label Rough Trade. After the original production by Troy Tate was felt to be inadequate, John Porter re-recorded the album in both London and Manchester during breaks in the band's UK tour during September 1983.
The album was well received by the critics as well as the public; it reached number two on the UK Albums Chart and stayed on the chart for 33 weeks. It established The Smiths as a prominent band in the 1980s music scene in the United Kingdom.

Taken from the 2002 album, 'A Rush of Blood to the Head'. The title track is backed with two non-LP tracks, '1.36' & 'I Ran Away'. Digipak. Parlophone.

Howl is a 2005 album by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. It is their third studio album and was released on August 22, 2005. The record was released in the UK and Europe by Echo and by RCA in the U.S. (distributed through RED Distribution), Australia, Japan and the rest of the world.
While still staying true to their origins this album demonstrates maturity as a band. Howl infuses blues, country, and gospel throughout, stemming from their love of Americana less apparent in their 2001 and 2003 releases.
An extended version of the song "Howl" (which runs 6:12, as opposed to the 4:20 length of the album version) appears on the soundtrack to the 2007 film Southland Tales.
Initial versions of the CD released in the U.S. are copy controlled.

Augustana is a four-piece group from L.A. that combines the introspective grittiness of American guitar rock (think the Wallflowers and Counting Crows) with the wide-angle theatrics of U.K. guitar/piano rock (think Radiohead before they went nuts or a less epic Coldplay). That may sound interesting, but their debut major label album, All the Stars and Boulevards, is a fairly hollow exercise that feels like it was concocted in a record label boardroom. That's not to say that it was or that all plans hatched in that manner are inherently wrong. It just points to the elements (originality, excitement, soul) that are missing from Augustana. From the overly processed guitars to singer Dan Layus' simultaneously bland and over-emoted vocals to the slickness of the melodies and the clichéd authenticity of the perfectly crafted arrangements, there isn't much to sink your teeth into here. Even for fans of the bands Augustana is so obviously influenced by, they will feel like they are listening to a third- or fourth-generation Xerox copy. All that said, the album is still listenable in a strange kind of way since the lack of any distinguishing features allows the music to be perfect background music. Sort of like elevator AOR. Sort of like a wasted 40 minutes.

Digitally remastered and expanded three disc (two CDs + PAL/Region 0 DVD) edition of this 1987 from the groundbreaking British Alt-Rockers. A more subtle and understated album than their debut, it nevertheless contains their biggest chart hit in 'April Skies' and several of the Reid brothers' most loved songs. Premiering a more expansive and nuanced sound, Jim and William wrote, produced and played everything on here. This deluxe expanded edition features all the non-album B-sides, the pre-Darklands Some Candy Talking EP, outtakes, BBC Radio Sessions and much more. The DVD features the promo videos for all the singles, a first time on DVD for the band-made film for b-side 'Kill Surf City', and previously unreleased archival TV appearances, including their only appearance on Top Of The Pops, alongside performances on Belgian TV and ITV's short-lived TOTP rival The Roxy.

声音玩具是近来华语乐坛最让人惊喜的后摇滚之声。也许后摇滚这个泛化的概念并不足以准确界定声音玩具的特征，因为他们会在长达11分钟的漫长器乐演奏(后半部分有少许人声)中表达出后摇滚绵长的结构特征，而这一进程中吉他的突兀音色和整首乐曲的宏大叙事表象又不时把听者带回30年前进步摇滚和艺术摇滚盛极一时的年代，让人联想到Yes的吉他激情和King Crimson在宏伟弦乐落幕后的唯美键盘音色，同时他们又没有艺术摇滚实质上的史诗冲动，也听不到具有那种时代特征的电颤琴之声。“声音玩具”固执的维系着对甜美至极的和谐曲调的追求以及对个人情感生活的倾诉欲望，“星期天大街”和“爱铃”一样，不失时机的借用Dream Pop的吉他音色构筑梦幻般的时间绵延感，后者诡异而极具诱惑力的旋律似乎暗示着一些中亚音乐的元素，这一切都显示出他们作为当代国内最出色独立乐队的丰富灵感和想象力。

声音玩具前身“朝圣者的背叛”成立于1998年，由区波、李琨、黄锦三人组成，沉默而低调，一直潜心于自己的音乐，深居简出。2001年，朝圣者的背叛更名“声音玩具”，声音玩具的音乐带有浓厚的布鲁斯情结，音乐整体构成诡异而强大，现场富于戏剧性。虽然他们的现场很难出现POGO的壮观景象，但他们向着人性隐秘部位的触摸与延伸却感染着许多敏感善良的青年人。自行出版唱片《最美妙的旅行》。

《最美妙的旅行》记录的是历史悠久的声音玩具的一个片段。在此表现出非常成熟的曲风，每一个细处都精雕细刻。《最美妙的旅行》的封面一派静谧祥和，和音乐的感觉搭配得相得益彰：动中有静，起中有伏，非常放松、舒服。声音玩具的现场要比CD还更好一些，能放得更开，娴熟的技巧能尽情发挥出来，感觉也就更post rock(后摇滚)一点。
