Red Hot Chili Peppers - "I'm With You"

Flea gives us a date for the upcoming LP!

The 30th of August is the date for all you pepper's fans! According to bass player Flea's twitter , (a pretty reliable source) the Rick Rubin produced album I'm With You will hit the shelves that day.

However there is speculations regarding the release of their single. Drummer Chad Smith posted on his Twitter that the Single entitled "The Adventures of Raindance Maggie" will be released July 18th. However(!), that post was quickly removed. Maybe we were not suppose to know that fact! The album release will be followed by a tour throughout the world during 2012, let's hope Sweden makes the cut!

New Coldplay track

After nearly three years of silence, Coldplay FINALLY gives gives us new material! The release of the single Every teardrop is a Waterfall is scheduled for June 3.

Nearly three years have passed since Coldplay released their commercial succes album Viva La vida or Death and all his friends. Exept for the Xmas song Christmas lights it's been quiet from their end... Untill now! After posting some "teasers" on their webpage with the lyrics of the new single, Coldplay announced that a song is ready to see the light of dawn. Every Teardrop is a Waterfall

Lead singer Chris Martin says that the upcoming album is guitarist Johnny Buckland's influence is particularly prominent on this album. Maybe Johnny will step out of the shadows and be recognized as the guitar virtuous he is. I have high hopes of this LP, I am almost certain that I won't be disappointed

I TURN THE MUSIC UP, I GOT MY RECORDS ON
I SHUT THE WORLD OUTSIDE UNTIL THE LIGHTS COME ON
MAYBE THE STREETS ALIGHT, MAYBE THE TREES ARE GONE
I FEEL MY HEART START BEATING TO MY FAVOURITE SONG

AND ALL THE KIDS THEY DANCE, ALL THE KIDS ALL NIGHT
UNTIL MONDAY MORNING FEELS ANOTHER LIFE
I TURN THE MUSIC UP
I'M ON A ROLL THIS TIME
AND HEAVEN IS IN SIGHT

Lady Gaga - Government Hooker

No she is not a prostitute. 'Government Hooker' is a song from Gagas latest album "Born This Way".

'Government Hooker' is unique on this Gaga album in the sense that it is based on significanly heavy electro with slow, fat bass rounded with criticizing lyrics towards the government which is not very common for Gaga.

 My prediction is that this song will be a late bloomer. Right now it's all about 'Judas' and 'Born This Way' but when the album has sunken in to peoples heads they will realize that 'Government Hooker' is the ultimate club track. 

It has that provocative lyrics that just will be way to vulgar and enrage old people and on top of everything it has a little government scandal story in between the lines. 

The story is found in theese lyrics:

" I'm gonna drink my tears tonight                       Put your hands on me, John F. Kennedy.
 I'm gonna drink my tears and cry                       I'll make you squeal, baby,
 'Cause I know you love me baby                         as long as you pay me."
 I know you love me baby

 These lines are references to one of John F. Kennedys affairs during his presidency. In this case it's about the famous movie star Marilyn Monroe. She fell hopelessly in love with Kennedy after their affairs, but she couldn't be with him for obvious reasons. It jeopardized his presidency. She fell into deep depression and the fifth of August 1962 she was found dead in her bed. 

There is several conspiracy theories that the Kennedy Family should have been behind the murder. Her death have lead to much speculations but under her career she was often depressed and suffered from bad self confidence. How ever, the dissector Thomas Noguchi means that her death most likely was caused by suicide.

 "Put your hands on me, John F. Kennedy" is the prime lyric that draw my attention to this song. It also has a very underground club feeling in the beat that I like.
