You will get 2 VIP tickets for the festival, which give you access to parking lots and two venue VIP areas all 3 days. Of course, it’s not cheap, the current bid is $2,259 and the estimated value is $10,000!! Ouch, Arcade Fire is definitively big these days, but there’s the same deal for Muse with a current bid at $2,900 and an estimated value of $5,000.
Energy bars, check, sunscreen, check, iPhone, check, Bib number on the t-shirt, check, gums, check, sunglasses, check,… I have run a few Los Angeles Marathons, but I always worry about forgetting something, it’s a real trip each time, 26.2 miles from the Stadium (The Dodgers stadium) to the sea!
To my fans, family, and friends, despite recent allegations, I did not authorize the testing of my DNA to be compared to that of the late Michael Jackson.’… ‘This spring, I agreed to be a part of a documentary with FilmOn.TV’, and was asked to give a sample of my DNA.
‘Paul McCartney called today to express his appreciation of KCSN and to thank us for our support of his new record. He told us he was having dinner in L.A. last night and all of his ‘friends were raving about KCSN, telling me how you were playing multiple tracks from the album.’
Sounds of the universe, what are they exactly? They are not real sounds but rather ‘electromagnetic radiation fluctuations in the magnetosphere of the planets, moons, and large asteroids the Voyager probes traveled near’. Since celestial bodies are all different, either enormous or small, either made of gas or rocks and ice, they produce different ‘sounds’.
The tech blog Techcrunch announced the news by declaring that Spotify had gained ‘control of the music DNA company that powers its rivals’, and this means that some rival music streaming services could soon disappear.
According to many websites, Chipotle is suing Ocean who backed out of the deal after receiving $212,500 in July 2013. He was supposed to received another $212,500 later but declared in August 2013 he would finally not participate in the project.
See on one side, you have the Pitchfork scale going from 0 to 10 – and higher scores means higher on the hipster scale – and on the other side you have the Facebook shares, and here it works backward, the less shares, the more obscure the band, so the more hipster it is!
On Wednesday, the singer songwriter posted a new song on his Facebook page, a song appropriately entitled ‘It Comes Back to You’, followed by the comment: ‘Here’s a song from a new album I’ve made with dear friends, it’s thrilling for me to finally be able to share this—Xo’
Six on stage, with two violins, keyboard, guitars, drums and bass, they had the folk harmonies of Fleet Foxes, while their songs had the cathartic nature of those of Mumford and Sons (or could it be the Lumineers? I always mix them up), with a bit of Arcade Fire or Kings of Leon in the mix
You should prepare your Kleenex before listening, but I guess I could have gone with the song without the clip! It’s a poignant tune with a very emotional Lykke Li and nothing else than an acoustic guitar to back her up, a sort of ballad written to break your heart
This song is not gonna change your life, not even your day or hour of the day, but there are actually very few songs which can do that, right? If it wasn’t for the twang in the voice, it would not even be country. The song is a sort of pop ballad which doesn’t wander very far from its departure
‘Mr. Brown will also require close supervision by his treating physician in order to ensure his bipolar mental health condition remains stable. It is not uncommon for patients with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Bipolar II to use substances to self-medicate their biomedical mood swings and trauma triggers.’
I watched and even wrote about this video and it totally escaped me, but that’s normal because I couldn’t care less about these types of things! Honestly, how can people
The tickets seem to be all gone now, which means Arcade Fire is not totally in trouble, but since prices were as low as $22, it is not a real surprise! Alas for me, a $22 Arcade Fire ticket is an opportunity that will never occur if you live in Los Angeles!
Totally in charge all night long, she had a very calm charisma and the confidence of an old soul. Angel did not give any long discourse but these short sentences between her songs were enough to build a strong connection with her audience which was already captivated by her performance
‘Depressing= a mega-corp owns a record label to push violent-msg rap to help its prison-mgmt co it owns 2 grow new inmates’. So I did a bit of research. I am very probably late on the subject, it’s an old story which apparently surfaced around 2012, but this is still a story running around many rap blog
It is already advertised as ‘the loudest boat in the world’, and it is supposed to hit the coasts of Miami, Key West and Cozumel this fall. No stop in Cuba? Because this black and white logo definitively looks like a Pirates ship with a skim-the-seven-seas potential
Just enjoying the lion’s share of some tasty baby Giraffica sliders! Mmmmm!’… ‘What’ll them crazy Danes think of next! But seriously, let me get this straight. . . . The Danes killed a 2 yr old baby giraffe, chopped it up n’ fed him to the lions
The Human Rights Commissioner for Women, Dr Jackie Blue, complained in a letter written to Auckland council: ‘The group is well known for their deeply, deeply offensive and sickening lyrics which incite their fans to cross the line to act out sexually explicit and violent actions against women’…
‘Oberst is seeking to promote the truth and repair the distress this has brought upon him and his family. Oberst intends to donate the proceeds of this suit to charities benefitting the victims of violence against women.’
My whole body still hurts from what happened last night, I am much older than all these young kids, and standing in line for 3 hours then fighting the crazy moshing-jumping-pushing crowd inside the Echoplex was a bit too much, but it was well worth it
I don’t really expect Muse, Arcade Fire or even Outkast to schedule one of these intimate parties, so far none of the big headliners is in the list, but who knows what could happen in the following days? Arcade Fire has done it before
Does this remove all magic from a Vermeer’s painting? Does technology help art or make it cheaper, because suddenly everyone can be Vermeer with a few mirrors and a lot of patience? Can an artist also be a technician, or does this remove all value in art?
A woman got her skull and collarbone broken when the singer decided to stage dive. It’s already an old story (it happened in 2010) but the federal judge’s decision was only made a few days ago, condemning Angelo ‘Dr. Madd Vibe’ Moore and his band to pay quite a large amount of money: $1.1 million in compensatory damages against Moore
There is something very cute about these two, they look alike a bit and their complicity is contagious. I imagine them spending a lot of time together to compose their songs, and this is probably what happens. I literally heard people expressing their sadness that this residency was over
I still walk by the Silversun liquor store they were named after every day, and I remember seeing them at local clubs such as the Silverlake Lounge or Spaceland (now the Satellite) a decade ago, but now they are wow big
Avi Buffalo was one of the surprise guests, and Avi Zahner-Isenberg came alone with his acoustic guitar giving the most intimate set of the night, at least it was what I thought at the time. I have seen Avi Buffalo before and they are a dynamic very young band with Shins-like harmonies and curious pop songs
‘If you end up with a boring, miserable life because you listened to your mom, your dad, your teacher, your priest, or some guy on television telling you how to do your shit, then you deserve it’
When they said they were about to slow down, they played their fastest song of the night (and may be my favorite) ‘There goes my baby’… could they have had a Green Day side too? I am hardly joking
I know, it’s a Perry video, you don’t have to make sense of anything, but why Egypt? Why the pharaohs? Did she watch too many Elizabeth Taylor’s oldies lately or did she always have a secret love for the Indiana Jones trilogy?
Vargas is this amazing artist who did a few murals around town, and who can draw a large, spitting portrait of yourself, with charcoals and black and white paints, on white paper placed on the ground,… in less than fifteen minutes.
They built a crashing monster sound with super loud and pounding drumming and brought enough distortion to burry the tips of their melodies. I don’t know how old they were, but they played as if they were some reincarnations from the 90s, bringing anger
Once again there was a very long line in front of Amoeba on Wednesday night, and seeing the scene around 4:30 pm, a large crowd had probably started to form more than two hours ahead of the show,… and all this for just four songs? Sky Ferreira played the shortest performance I have ever seen at Amoeba
Two years ago, I got to spend two hours just below Greg Dulli’s nose, when the Afghan Whigs reunited and played their first West Coast gig in thirteen years at Bootsy Bellows on the Sunset Strip, and I didn’t complain a bit!
This is for one night only and the restaurant is only offering 36 tickets, but they are thinking about repeating the event, starting a series of monthly dinners paired with different famous albums. And I say that Hanley, who has studied music before, is onto something!
why is she selling all this stuff? This seems to be very personal items, even clothes she has worn… It seems she is selling her whole life right there… and lets hope it’s not for economic reasons?
Meanwhile Greenwood is about to compose and record the soundtrack with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in London, so we can expect once again a grand-scale score, with vibrant strings and noisy weirdness.
If you do a bit of research on them you’ll see that there are in the ‘Bands-to-watch’ list of many blogs, and I would not be surprised if they effectively blow up very soon. The blog No Cigar Magazine premiered their video for ‘All These Furs’, a song which becomes a sepia-toned road trip to Salvation Mountain
Black metal always seems a bit scary to me, especially the look of the musicians is really extreme sometimes, and when I saw a picture of the band Enslaved, which had a meet and greet at local store Vacation Vinyl on Saturday afternoon, I thought these guys were built like mythology warriors. They are from Norway, like many black metal bands
‘RS can’t be playing w/someone’s emotions like that. Anytime we given a scrap that is historical’… ‘then they revoke his (@Drake’s) cover like “aint no thing”. I personally live vicariously anytime someone on my side of the fence gets cover’.
‘I completely support and agree with Rolling Stone replacing me on the cover with the legendary Phillip Seymour Hoffman. He is one of the most incredible actors of our time and a man that deserves to be immortalized by this publication. My frustration stemmed from the way it was executed’
‘I am among many who consider Nick Cave the unofficial poet laureate of the modern age. While his music fans are already eagerly anticipating this release, I am personally excited to share this riveting portrait of a modern creative genius with a much wider audience.’
Did you know that the latest addition to the electronic pop French
I can name, you know, thirty Norwegian death metal bands that would make Metallica sound like Simon & Garfunkel.
‘Like, he was on [Jay Z and Kanye West’s] ‘Watch the Throne’ album before he came out, and then when he came out, it’s like he can’t get in the studio with Jay and Kanye right now. It’s so fucking terrible. … It’s in his fucking genes. It’s not a fucking choice. The man came out like that, and you can’t just fucking disown this man’
White Fire’, the new song off her upcoming and second album is a slow and long one, ruminating longing, regret and hurt, it’s simply devastating and the song will remind you the style of her debut album ‘Half Way Home’ that she released in 2012. Her druggy-sleepy voice, like numbed by the pain
It’s certainly very convenient, plus it obviously comes with the playlist on Spotify which will make the Map alive and provide 23 hours worth of music. That’s fantastic, and beside the fact that a few tracks are absent from the Spotify list, it includes artists of all horizons, mainstream and indie ones or legends.
I think Homme simply got scared! A lot of musicians have been attacked on stage and Lennon was shot by a fan after all. Imagine being immersed in the music and suddenly seeing this guy jumping at you and wanted to do god-knows-what?
They didn’t play music to the animals but sounds of different frequencies and intensities and the results showed that neurons of the mice kept in the dark could ‘hear much softer sounds’ than the other animals. ‘They also have much finer discrimination ability as far as identifying pitch goes,’
