I wonder whether Adams will venture into heavy metal again,… since I caught a little discussion on twitter between him and Vacation Vinyl a few days ago; Adams, regretful to have missed a performance in the store, was saying he was ‘at the studio all week every night’
Nietzsche is common place? This sentence at least is… anybody has read it without having heard about Nietzsche! But has Kanye West even read the German philosopher or did he just google a few quotes?
He was SHOCKINGLY shy and it became clear he had on air jitters. he pretty much locked himself in the promotion office – alone – to tune and practice. he was super nice, but very sullen and soft spoken.
Sharon Van Etten will release her new album ‘Tramp’ on February 7th 2012, following her last year Epic LP. The album is produced by The National’s Aaron Dessner
Pyramid Vritra was in fact a duo, rapping over a sluggish-druggy sometimes jazzy or even electronic beats,… people were laughing, as they visibly knew the lyrics, which were delivered with detachment and a sort of second degree, venting some frustrations, sometimes rhythmically with dynamic beats, other times more melodically
The show will be a benefit concert and all proceeds will go to Drop In The Bucket, a Los Angeles-and-Uganda-based organization, that constructs wells and sanitation systems in sub-Saharan Africa in order to provide clean water to populations
The New Year’s Eve Freakout #5 will actually be a two-day party (December 31st and January 1st) and will happen at the Coca Cola Bricktown Events Center,… will Yoko enter Wayne’s bubble?
The song, unfortunately incomplete, was a warm-up during a 1997 live session that had been forgotten in the vaults of the college radio station WMUC.
The EP is described as ‘an unholy trinity of three turkey-free new tracks for the festive season’, and the three songs successively as a ‘Motown-tinged’ in which ‘Gruff is re-imagining the ‘Winterval’ through the semi-melted eyes of a nuclear holocaust survivor’,
The hip-hop music video is a four-minute long advertisement for the cult, said to be intended for internal church use. It sounds like your regular, basic, generic synth-rap song, with bad breakdancing and is thought to be the title track of ‘Dauntless, Defiant and Resolute’ by artist Chill E.B.
It is an intimate show for Morrissey, and a very unique occasion to see him, but it was quite a long process for the fans as they had to return to the box office to pick up their tickets the day of the show, Wednesday November 23rd
People on Burning Man forums are angry and comments like ‘STUPIDEST IDEA EVER!!!!’ or ‘Fuck everything about this’, or ‘Lottery sucks big time!’ have been posted as they worried they will not be able to get a ticket. And does this solve the scalper problem?

With their ‘Invernal’ album art for background, a sort of phantasmagoric landscape made of menacing gothic tree-dragons that could have come up directly from a scene from the Lord of the Rings, the vocals were savagely screamed above a wall of noise of distortion.
The Austin-based quartet had indeed a bottomless collection of sharp strident guitar riffs, playing these furious and destructive songs, which were going from hard rock to metal and vice-versa,… and I was thinking about some other element at times, with a brighter side just to compensate the doom side of metal.
With Keith Richards claiming that he has hopes for a Rolling Stones tour in 2012 to mark their 50th anniversary (although Jagger seemed to rule out the idea), Radiohead having already announced dates for their upcoming tour, and Paul Simon planning a Graceland anniversary tour, 2012 will certainly be the year of all the heavy-weights!
A guy in his late 50s next to me was yelling the same song title, ‘Big Bikes‘, every five minutes, quite unsuccessfully as they never played it, and overall the very male crowd was clearly there to see Kyuss Lives!, wearing their best Thin Lizzy t-shirts, denim jackets…
At rock nyc we are fans of the Los Angeles cinematic-explosive band Saint Motel, as we have written about them numerous times. And A/J Jackson was nice enough to send us their new song!
Nevertheless, two weekends in a row, Brandon Ferguson of the OC Weekly and I tried to enter the house where Elliott Smith died, but we were unfortunately not successful.

Could the fight between Wagner and Walken had been a fight between Wagner and Wood or even the three of them?
Autopsy reports showed facial abrasions and bruises along arms of Natalie Wood, who once declared ‘her greatest fear was of dark seawater’.
I don’t know what he is talking about, does he mean that if iPods and laptops were round, the music industry will not have its current problems? I see, he is the kind of guy who has all figured it out, and it is very simple: squares and circles!

The Pieces of Shit! A new band? Rather the unexpected collaboration between David Byrne and Will Oldham aka Bonnie ‘Prince’ Bill. They wrote five original songs for the movie
‘Raw Meat’ is one of these poppy-sunny-surfy-catchy songs that fill their album, and Director Phil Pinto chose to turn down the brightness of the tune with a black and white movie, and the guys behaving more or less like some reincarnation of the Beastie Boys singing a Ramones-inspired tune.
The 22nd annual KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas, the two-day event organized by the Los Angeles radio station, has announced its lineup.
I wonder how many actors they will need to play Jackson, may be Bob-Dylan-I’m-not-There style? If you look at a picture when Jackson was young, and one when he was over 40, it was certainly not the same person and if the same actor is playing him all along, he will need a lot of CGI work.
I learned about it on Twitter as people were all excited about it, and the exclusive show was in Santa Monica, in a mysterious location, with a red curtain? Never been there… but it may have been KCRW headquarters.
There was most of the time an educative-nursery-rhyme undertone in their quirky songs, and yeah they have played this role with albums like ‘Here comes the ABCs’ (they played ‘Alphabet of Nations’ at Amoeba) or ‘Here comes Science’, the dream album for science teachers.

The T-shirt drama is never ending. Occupy All Streets has gone from a profit machine, to a scandal to back to square one. The shirt isn’t even interesting, hype for hypes sake
Gibson said that Madonna “should be bitter, because I did it on purpose, and you can quote me. I did it on purpose because for all those kids who believe that you can’t, I wanted to let them feel that you can. And that’s what I represent, that’s what Gaga represents.”
it captures so well the melody and adds something else at the same time, a certain mellowness, laziness, like a long summer afternoon under the sun. They have totally reworked the song into a long electronica-synth jam with infectious dance beats and dreamy, almost sedated, vocals.
typical creepy ambiance, slowly developing with layers and layers of throbbing synth sounds, Robert ‘3D’ Del Naja ‘s half-hushed, half-paranoiac vocals,
Gallagher has been rightly criticized, especially by mental health charity Mind, and by Sue Baker, who is in charge of the charity campaign looking to end discrimination in the workplace against those who suffer from mental illness

It is already enough stress for these animals to be kept captive in these supposedly amusement parks, but rave parties in these locations have to stop!
And techno music kills dolphins? It cannot be that good for us either.
The film we have mentioned a few times is now out and ready for viewing. Fatherhood requires no particular persona, you either are a father or your’re not. This film shows you the softer gentler more paternal side of rock and roll, though I still wonder why they call Art Aleksakis a ‘punk rocker’
Some of the most articulate quotes come from rappers on a roll. Of course, once translated into written word they appear like game boards from Wheel of Fortune. I’d like to buy a vowel. Fat Joe is ok with f—s and n—–s and stuff…
After an introduction by the omnipresent ‘press liaison’ Henry Rollins (is Black Sabbath really the soundtrack of Rollins’ life or was he schmoozing a little?) they took questions from Rollins and the media. Ozzy said it was just time and the right thing to do… really? I don’t get the moral argument in all this.
a little diva-on-the-side, if the guy’s name had been Beck instead of Whitbeck, would Beck have authorized him to use his own name? I doubt,… May be Wayne Coyne was right when he said Beck was taking himself way too seriously.
It was the first time that a movement was challenging the authority and the police, and that they could articulate their believes in society, and it was also life changing, the movie really providing a better understanding of what punks went through: the scary barbarous shows with people at the peak of their physical shape, the fights and the punk image
