I got to see them at the Jimmy Kimmel Live on July 29th, and managed to bump (almost) into Josh Homme’s giant body when exiting the green room. But seriously, these guys have a mega-monster sound, they blow up the roof even when there’s none
She had known Elliott for sixteen years and she is one of these friends who strongly think that more should be done to uncover the facts surrounding Elliott’s death.. Needless to say, she isn’t not one of these friends interviewed by W T Schultz, and absolutely convinced it was a suicide
They will see their music freely distributed on every iPhone and iPad of the planet without being concerted. The new free Spotify mobile streaming service will launch on December 11th, just on time for Christmas.
Adam Ant, Kurt Cobain, Ray Davies, Sinead O’Connor (among others) were diagnosed with bipolar disorder, Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson has a schizoaffective disorder and Pink Floyd’s Syd Barrett was speculated to have either schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. Each case is different and these artists certainly managed to have a career of their own
There is no real science behind such analysis, it’s often qualified of pseudoscience even though people really want to believe there is a strong correlation between personality and the way a ‘b’ or a ‘d’ are formed! For me, it’s a bit like astrology, some ancestral superstition based on false science
You got it Willie! Something apparently happened between the time the picture above was taken and his decision to cancel! May be he heard about killer whale Tilikum’s sad story? And I wasn’t expecting less from a nature and animal lover like him.
Lots of people found it extremely disrespectful! For whom? Kanye West? And that was crazy because the joke was on him, not on Mandela!! I’d certainly hope everyone would understand this, but the fact that so many people took it for the truth without questioning even a minute the interview, tells a lot about West’s public image.
he only thing I remember about Macaulay Culkin was these ‘Home Alone’ movies and these sleepovers at Michael Jackson’ Neverland ranch
PETA praises Jay Z and Beyoncé for getting animals off their plates for 22 days and hopes that this great spiritual exercise will open their eyes to the suffering of all animals—including the wonderful ones who are killed not for the table but for a coat, a belt, or a bag.’
May be they die at the end, or this is redemption, ascension, canonization, who knows? They seem to float away to join the John Wayne-Elvis-Marilyn heaven crowd, because this is Los Angeles after all and old stars hang out in the sky above.
I never miss reading a Gallagher interview, as the guy’s brutal honesty is legendary and has apparently no limits. The interviewer basically asked him about every successful music of this year, and the results are unequal but quite interesting.
The whole thing seems to have been filmed on a budget string, somewhere on a local tennis court in a Los Angeles backyard and the highest cost of the video may have been the many tennis balls sharpied for the circumstance.
Black people don’t have the same level of connections as Jewish people. Black people don’t have the same connection as oil people.’ As usual, the first thing I did notice is that the statement doesn’t make sense,… Did Bush convert to Judaism? Or did Obama lose all his Jewish connections?
But, tell me, which other performer sees his or her performance interrupted just after the third song by a torrent of flowers delivered by fans, and followed by an effusive demonstration of love with gifts, books arriving on stage as if it was Christmas three weeks in advance?
The term spiritual had such a bad connotation for me as people put so much behind the term. Jay Z, you aren’t going to find God or Buddha or achieve a higher level of consciousness when turning vegan, you are just going to be healthier and do something very good for the earth.
I have never bought anything from Manson, not even listened to his music, his awful crimes are a complete turn off for me, and I am sorry about this idealistic discourse about the separation between the art and the artist, there is just a limit I can’t cross sometimes. We all have our own limits on what we can tolerate from an artis
The Gaga dolls also have an amazing feature that probably doesn’t come with regular love dolls: by pressing your ear to their chest you can listen to Gaga’s songs and secret messages. These rubber things are expected to be used to advertise the singer’s new album, but can you imagine what will happen to them afterwards?
You’re gonna say science always ruins everything! Did we need to spoil this for everyone, people were so happy to believe it was a divine intervention of mother nature! I hardly revealed anything because the info was there, on the page, but people were posting and reposting the thing without even checking the other links
The fact that they had to explain the purpose of the drawing ruins the whole thing, they shouldn’t have written anything to justify themselves and let stupid people stuck with their one-level interpretation of things, these same people must completely miss what good art is about. There are some pretty sick and awful comments in this page!
‘Radiohead was the first band to say yes to the project’ said professor Lawrence Krauss during the Q&A after the screening of ‘The Unbelievers’ on Friday night. Sure, you’re
The hatred between the two ethnicities was real at the time and I would be surprised if there wasn’t any leftover,… Dylan’s sentence wasn’t offensive at all, may be it wasn’t exactly politically correct but it resonates with history.
So I don’t see any reason to wear a Slayer Christmas sweater unless you are pissed off at your family and want to shock your great uncle at the next Christmas party? In this case these fucking reindeers should do the job.
Bosco Delrey is currently touring in Europe where he is enjoying a real success, and in a recent interview, he admitted he wanted to forget about his American or electronic roots and go for a more naked music with real instruments. Curiously, he is on Diplo’s Mad Decent dance label
Actually, they seem to be more influenced by their fans than anything else, since their fans had launched an online petition asking them to cancel the show scheduled for February 15th 2014. Whatever, it’s a good thing they have decided to boycott Seaworld,
It is simply not what we have been trained to, turn on the TV to listen to music? What a crazy idea if there is no image. We have our computers, iPods and iPhones, why the hell would I turn on the TV to stare at a blue screen while listening to some has-been band of the 80s?
They probably have about the same size and weight so it could go on forever! But it’s ridiculous, none of them is the fighting type, they re both civil and courteous guys and so this is a waste of time on a slow-news day.
Black Flag news on a black Friday? And not really good news, although it entirely depends on what you think of the revival surrounding the iconic hardcore band. Black Flag , the Greg Ginn team, not the Keith-Morris-Chuch-Dukowsky one, has fired its singer Ron Reyes in the middle of a show,
I thought that one of guys looked awfully like Rilo Kiley’s Blake Sennett, then for some reasons, I thought it wasn’t him… Silly me, it was Blake, proving one more time that there is a musical life after Jenny Lewis!
It’s very comforting to read this about a human being. She is doing better these days, she is still in treatment for Lyme disease but has started performing again with her band the Julie Ruin.
These shows are heavy and too serious and they have a strict no picture policy by the way! But this didn’t stop someone to shoot the footage below, which proves that this type of policy never works and that Beck wasn’t kidding when he said his next album would be a follow-up of ‘Sea Change’.
This is probably what happened to this Mozart’s picture, strangely contemporary looking, it’s not Mozart, it’s an idealistic average picture of him. But why does it matter so much after all? Why does it matter if this musical genius was good looking or not?
I was the first black man to ever pitch an Italian designer leather jogging pants’. Every time, I say to myself, this has to be a joke, right? But if it is a joke, it’s getting old,… we don’t need more of this absurdity, the real Kanye should show up, or is this the real Kanye West?
Schreiber has a high opinion of his publication, which will focus on design, photography and of course writing: ‘The price point is in line with the literary and cultural journals that exist, like Monocle and Kinfolk. It will be substantial, printed on quality stock. With vinyl you’re paying more than a download, but it’s permanent and substantial.’
Let’s just stop there, a ten-year relationship with Cuomo? I wonder what Cuomo would say about this, According to Weezerpedia, she was Cuomo’s on-again off-again girlfriend between 1992 and 1995! Hey that’s barely 3 years
Kings of Leon have released a new video, for the song ‘Beautiful War’, and it plays like a mini movie about cowboys, love, bar fights, Urban-cowboy-style bull riding, and even jail.
Almost 200,000 views and more than 2,000 comments in just one day,… is Del Rey really an icon or does she has a very loyal fans who are watching the trailer all day long?
Three little girls building a gigantesque domino effect with their new toys, while singing the Beastie Boys song ‘Girls’ with alternative lyrics, such as ‘Girls/to build the spaceship/ Girls/ to code the new app/ Girls/ to grow up knowing/ That they can engineer that/ Girls. That’s all we really need is girls.’
‘Hi, How Are You” is a collaborative short film by a group of dedicated Daniel Johnston fans (creators of the film Archie’s Final Project) and Daniel himself. It’s a musical tale of an aging artist encountering psychedelic dreams, nightmares, and characters from his past.
How many ‘Afterlife’ videos does Arcade Fire expect to release? First there was the one re-soundtrack-ing the film ‘Black Orpheus’, then the Spike Jonze-directed and Greta Gerwing-danced video for the Youtube Awards, and now this one, directed by Canadian filmmaker Emily Kai Bock and produced by the Creators Project.
Sachs Media Group, in collaboration with photo restoration and manipulation company Phojoe, has published a series of portraits of musicians who died young, trying to figure out how they would have aged. And the results are quite realistic
I am sure I am not only speaking for myself, but it seems to me that an awful number of bands we have covered in their early days, have now officially reached the success status
It sure is original but I wonder whether this is a metaphor to tell us that everything on TV sounds the same and that this delusion of channel abundance is just, well, a delusion, and that nothing beats a good old Dylan song?
Wes Anderson may be releasing a new movie next year – ‘Hotel Budapest’ will make its theatrical debut in the US on March 7th – but musicians haven’t waited any longer to release their own Wes Anderson tribute album. Is ‘I Saved Latin!’, an obvious ‘Rushmore’ reference, a premiere?
I finally found my way to explore the dark room full of old books, carnivorous plants, antics, QOTSA memorabilia, taxidermied animals, and an ageless bulgy-eyed woman coming straight from ‘The Fearless Vampire Killers’.
He is this kind of guy, getting excited about a word, having all kinds of thoughts vaguely related to each other getting on his mind at the same time, and producing this collage of words that can only make sense to Kim Kardashian, and will make you unnecessarily scratch your head for a minute or two
It was described as a film which ‘explores the death of Kurt Cobain and its aftermath, examines the competing opinions and theories surrounding his death (suicide or foul play/murder), as well as the various people tied to those theories.
It’s simple, there is a similar story around many many rock stars! May be all of them? Mick Jagger had allegedly a quick night with very young Mackenzie Phillips – but that may have been the least of her worries as she claims to have engaged in an incestuous relationship with her own father a bit later
‘I don’t like when people talk about all the bad things that have happened to them as if that makes them unique. Because I don’t think I’ve had a harder time than other people.’
‘So, of course, when we learned that about Miss Jett, we were rightly concerned about her representing South Dakota and a state that is so heavily reliant on agriculture and livestock production to drive our economy’.
Beside the synth swirls, the electronic bouncy beats, the handclaps and the strings (lots of them), the main attraction is Rostron’s voice, loud, operatic, deep and androgynous to the point you wonder about the gender or even the nature of the person producing such a sound
