Watch: John Mayer - Friends, Lovers, or Nothing

Exlusive studio clip of one of the new songs from Battle Stations, 'Friends, Lovers, or Nothing'. (I put in the Oxford comma myself, as John Mayer should when the album release date comes around). Great to see Steve Jordan and Pino Palladino back.

And I wonder what or who the song is about...

Download: Radiohead - These Are My Twisted Words

Radiohead have made new song 'These Are My Twisted Words' a free and now legal download on their Waste store. I hope we'll hear details of a new album soon! The song is as a .zip file, so you'll need WinRar or WinZip to extract it.

Album Cover: The Swell Season - Strict Joy

We finally have an album cover for the new Swell Season album, Strict Joy, so now I can stop using strange pictures of Glen Hansard!

I really like the cover I must say. Much better than the self-titled album cover.

Live: The Mars Volta at the Olympia Theatre

At The Drive-In spin-off (who've probably outdone their forefathers at this stage) The Mars Volta will be coming to Dublin's Olympia Theatre on December 10th.

They released Octohedron back in June, and it's a worthy album, not their best, but pretty good nonetheless.

Tickets are priced €35 and go on sale this Wednesday.

Album News: Train - Save Me San Francisco

Remember Train? Yeah, the 'Drops of Jupiter' guys. Well, they had a whole lot more than that, and lead singer Pat Monahan even released a pretty decent solo album. They're back with a new album Save Me San Francisco on October 27th.

To anyone out there that wants to dismiss them as a one hit wonder, I sincerely recommend their 2003 album My Private Nation. It's damn good.
