a sweet and beautiful melody and this flute/melodica musical interlude that seemed to be escaped from some 70s movie soundtrack… And there is a lot of this in the album, a lot of melancholia and old-fashioned use of flute and saxophone
According to the New York Times, Led Zeppelin is in negotiations for the right to stream ‘Whole Lotta Love’, ‘Stairway to Heaven’, and probably all the rest of their catalog.
It’s more pop than punk, it’s girlie pop à la Dum Dum Girls with a bright twist, and there is a certain subjacent punky savor below the sweet harmonies, I know, I have seen Bleached live twice
I don’t know why Bad Religion is doing this, as they are usually playing large venues and headlining festivals, but if you are a fan it is an unique occasion to see the iconic punk band in an intimate venue
Yorke’s lamenting falsetto, warm-going-desperate background wordless vocal chorus, the song builds a very familiar ambiance à la Radiohead, but without any crescendo or catharsis, just staying afloat with a melancholic vibe stuck between electronics and acoustic guitars… It’s not bad
They were preparing themselves to shoot a video for the pop rock band Hanson inside the club, and the tall guy were telling them to dance, even ‘get sweaty’, and then relax, but of course, he told them they could not take any pictures once inside. He added ‘I know you are excited to see them, they are going to play real music’
After all this is a rolling rock, stone,… Remember there was already an alert a few weeks ago when the band’s iPhone app had listed an Indio date in April in the tour section! The date quickly disappeared
Fan sites have roughly ‘estimated’ that the singer has sold a billion records, but it seems they are drawing these numbers out of their ass, or out of the estate, which is bout the same thing!
Music has a power, a communicative power that goes beyond language even though there are obvious parallels between music and language, but the meaning of music – if music has a meaning – goes beyond that of a simple sentence. It’s deeper, more abstract, ambiguous and mysterious
Personally, I couldn’t care less if Target doesn’t carry CDs anymore, but I would be so sorry to see little and big independent stores disappear! I love my Amoeba as anyone else, and their survival only depends on vinyl sales right now.
Charlene McPherson seems to be the kind of tough girl not to mess with, her powerhouse vocals are all about strong (and borderline dirty) attitude and the music is all about hard rock, gritty guitar riffs and bluesy roots in the veins of the greatest rock tradition.
For having seen them twice, I can tell that the young girls were very convincing, played with a great enthusiasm on stage, and they sure seemed to take their songstresses’ roles with a lot of professionalism and a natural feelgood attitude.

Lambert thought the singing sucked. Iman’s review was saying about the same thing a week ago. Personally, I hate musicals with a passion, so you would have to drag me to sit through a 3-hour-long musical
Noel also declared at last year’s NME awards: ‘I accept I am a genius, just like God’, a sentence that could be a sort of bid over John Lennon’s famous comparison between the Beatles and Jesus, but honestly, who is taking this stuff seriously?
instead of accepting gifts from the company as it is often the case in these situations, the LA band cleverly ‘sneaked a 20-minute collage film of sweatshop workers, Black Friday consumer mayhem and weeping children into their live show’.
Death Angel is a Californian band and Carl’s Jr. a west coast chain, so it totally make sense, plus I have always thought that hard rock/metal and spicy fast food are going hand to hand: they look sloppy and mean
Already, the Kardashian sisters were excited with Kourtney tweeting ‘Been wanting to shout from the rooftops with joy and now I can! Another angel to welcome to our family. Overwhelmed with excitement!’ and Kloe declaring ‘I’m excited for Kanye and my sister! There’s nothing like bringing life into this world! Let’s keep Gods blessings coming!

I am going to write about only a few bands I have seen live in 2012, which may blow very big next year, at the national or even international level? And at the end of next year, everyone will be able to tell me if I was right or wrong
From where this video was shot, he looked like a 17th-century white marquis, a phantom of the opera going all auto-tune – I definitiely can’t stand this auto-tune business – or may be he was the beast without his beauty?
There is no big surprise, FIDLAR stay loyal to the aggressiveness and the irony of the original 1982 song, after all this is a young punk band covering another young punk band (at the time). But I would be more interested to hear some of the other covers by non-punk bands

Remember we were still buying CDs and Spotify was not even showing up in our wildest dreams. Now, 10 years is a long time, can you imagine how many albums, how many songs have been released since? Tons! I don’t know what this says about me (too attached to the past, should I let it go?)
The three-day event, held aboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach, is part-art part-music festival with art exhibits, 50s fashion, a car show, and a gigantesque tattoo expo, covering three floors inside the ship. Apparently, Long Beach has become the tattoo capital of the world

In 1989, Courtney Love was heavily involved with drugs and alcohol, and she stated in divorce records that their marriage was a joke. Joke or not, Courtney Love got pregnant and refused to stop taking drugs nevertheless, and ended up to have an abortion, which is pretty horrible already.
they mentioned their wish list for Coachella: David Bowie, Talking Heads, Iron Maiden and the Smiths! Good luck at booking any of these acts but Paul Tollett noted they were trying every year to get the Smiths as they offered them $5 million last time! one last thing regarding the music cruise itself, they weren’t sure about its future despite its apparent success.
An “X”-Mas gift from us to you. Alyson Camus took many pictures and shot five videos and didnt stop until the Scroogey Security staff pulled the plug on her. What she caught in a shutter is amazing…enjoy!
we try to be prudent and we built a permanent shed with a diesel-operated generator. We have a nice place to put food and water, blankets and survival stuff, if we had to have it. We just think that we should be prepared.
Surviving so long and becoming a classic in the punk rock history isn’t easy, but the show proved that their mixture of rock, country, rockabilly, wrapped by an intense delivery and a punk attitude is just this,… a series of classic punk anthems written by the founders of LA-all-things-punk
I have to say it, a 31-year gap is a little creepy, she will still be a hottie when Ronnie is a spoon-fed wheelchair-bound senile old man, but they seem happy right now, so why raining on their wedding parade? Plus all rock stars do that.
BMJ Open, concludes that pop-rock stars who had a trouble childhood, are more susceptible to die from drug-related problems or other risk-taking-heath-damaging behaviors, and that extreme wealth provide greater opportunities to engage in such behaviors.

I hate, hate Christmas compilation albums that we get at this time of the year, and I don’t understand why artists keep recording these same Christmas song over and over, what are they thinking exactly?
He used the whole crowd-surface as Jesus-Christ-turned-evil walking on water,… you would think this would finally collapse, but no, each time Spielman was back on stage faster than the light, swimming his way back through a sea of hands, legs and other body parts
Jack White was supposed to score the Disney movie, ‘The Lone Ranger’, but news broke that the musician was way to busy to spend any time with Johnny Depp and his new Navajo’s roots,… too bad, Depp could have helped at the guitar, he does this a lot as everyone knows.

It sure ain’t a happy tune and the matching pictures just evoke more desolation and distress! The video was entirely made by fans who shared for two weeks their instagram pictures inspired by the lyrics of the song, since the band had tweeted and instagrammed the lyrics before releasing the song,.. a totally original way to make a video.
the Stones just had their 50-year anniversary celebration all over the east coast and haven’t played any dates on the west coast,… plus there was already a rumor they were playing Coachella last year and it didn’t happen
Some sources are claiming that Hodgy Beats pushed Ragasi back to the crowd, and the guy became a ping pong ball between the band and the crowd. According to several websites, Ragasi got some severe injuries
This is this time of the year when we have to decide about the best songs, albums, concerts and make our 2012 best-of list.

The trailer just shows the band and their grandiose, one by one, arrival on stage, then Wayne Coyne crawling on the crowd in his famous giant bubble, and affronting another bubble filled with a naked woman,… the usual for the Flaming Lips.
With his smart mixture of loud, fast, garage-punk-rock and some surf-y-psychedelic detours à la The Oh Sees, they brought the energy to the roof as soon as they started their set, and damn, they were good! It sounded a little retro and totally fresh at the same time, never nostalgic
Honestly, I found the video much more interesting than Brandon Flowers’ boring croon and even the song itself. The last seconds are especially inventive! Is it what we call ‘to be consumed with love for someone’?
