Ther are lots of bills to pay. Legal defense domestically is astronomical, international representation is outrageous. So its time to put up your devil horns and support the band if only to show them that rockers stand together and to toss them some coin.
Her Dresden Doll tales of revenge and power, sex and taunt were brilliant and aside from her ode to her bush her new stuff has been very good. She is every college kid with a trust fund and shes not a kid and she doesn’t have a trust. She’s a facade, she’s a mess, she is Boston.
Spring is in the air and now that all the police lines are down (or damn well should be) its time to relax. Last week was a CNN nightmare and this week is a music on television nightmare.
Back when I was literally ushered out of shops for my appearance alone, now I most likely cant afford the designer take on what I made with thrift shop mens shirts and a sharpie.
Fall Out Boy is playing Bostons House of Blues on May 25th. This ‘will call’ only show sold out in seconds and scalpers didn’t have a chance. Show ID or get the hell out of here. A nice idea for the FOB boys a logistical nightmare for others. They will also be playing the Tsongas Center in Lowell on September 6th. Your basic stadium show, they have chosen this larger venue as their fundraiser.
Other formats sound like an annoying frequency if listened to repeatedly, whereas vinyl has a much fuller organic sound. Also I think the sleeve and artwork on some records are just amazing and nice to have as a collection
This enormous paragraph (did he type this on wordpad?!) he rambles as if he’s been hitting the scotch. I suppose to a citizen of the UK it ‘hits home’ but to a fan in the US its the redundancy and proverbial ‘beating a dead horse’.
We at rocknyc are just getting our plans in order as we attend Governors Island in NYC, Warped Tour, Mayhem Festival, Jubilee, Sunset, Skate and Surf and of course NE Hardcore Fest
This loser is fabulously portrayed by Jack Black. Suffering from a case of “stickittothemandiosis” as well as just plain ‘sticking it to the man’, became the catch phrase for anyone who saw the film.
How dishy old men can be. Seems bassist Bill Wyman is a bit displeased with his recent participation in the Stones anniversary shenanigans. He joined the band in London but only stood in for two songs.
It really feels like their older stuff, and I love it. The build up to “I’m fillin’ your prescriptions, the orange bottles stare me down,” is flawless and so wonderfully composed, the vocals becoming full and transitioning right into the chorus, full of potential for the classic pop-punk show gang vocals and moshing
Mali is currently held in solitary confinement in a Manila Zoo. She is constantly in pain due to foot ailments and since elephants are social animals- the solitary confinement is extreme torture. In pain and alone the public is requesting that she be transferred to an animal sanctuary.
Lydon never makes excuses for his behavior, nor should he. He is an icon and should remain so. Think of those that shared his punk lineage and figure out how many are even left alive. Most are dead
Back when I was a teenager I adored him, his photo on my wall his named carved into my hand with a safety pin (not deep enough for forever THANK THE LORD!), but yeah, I loved all he stood for. Now I realize that without a stage and a guitar strap he was just a pathetic fucked up kid
Fall Out Boy. I still cant seem to click with their new album. Its tough for me to shrug of the glory of “Infinity on High” for this, although I am in the minority. Is it really that good or is it a case of the prodigal son?
Kid Rock, that greasy redneck is well aware that people are hurting. As much as I cannot stand his music I do really like his stance on alot of matters. Despite his repulsive exterior, he has made some rational moves, unlike most of his peers.
Thirty years deserves celebration so she is touring to do so. Cool huh? Although a mature Lauper doesn’t have the skirt swinging devil may care stage presence her voice has remained strong and accurate. She can still yelp like al boss.
What a lovely place for our man Jay Z to throw a par-tay! Labor Day weekend get ready to cross that bridge to check out the official end of summer. The cool thing is Jay Z used Spotify to announce the line up.
So its time for a new show! This one called ‘Busted”, wait the premise of this one is so lame I cant imagine more than 4 episodes. Similar to the MTv Hit ‘Punked’ the show will make practical jokes a nightly past time.
Musicians think and talk about music all day, so they have lots of practice discussing it. They hear lots of new stuff and find out about it before most people. They certainly know how the sausage is made. And guess what: a lot of them can write really well.
Literally nothing goes untouched when it comes to this guy. Which is why he is nearly the patron Saint of rocknyc. There is no one with harsher, bolder and stronger quotes than Morrissey
She looked great though and really exemplified what a punk rock girl should look like and how to behave, When I state ‘how to behave’ you have to remember that the punk scene was very much male dominated . You were either a slut or a butch
Up for potential repeal is an odd tax in Washington State. The Dance Tax imposes a tax on taverns and clubs that include cover charges and offer guests “an opportunity to dance.” It also states that tax must be collected by businesses that charge admission and play music. Considering all the fee’s imposed on tickets of any sort this is no big surprise
I love Jimmy Fallon so I have to say that the Tonight Show heading to NYC is pretty rad. I think Leno was just too old and out of touch for the world. I mean really enough with the car shit. Fallon is friends with Justin Timberlake, need we say more? No. So congrats JF! Its gonna be a long wait til you take over.
This is a sure fire way to torture yourself and your child. I know we all miss the Stripes and well Jack is fine on his own but put him on a tin keyboard and the songs just lose their swagger. They become obnoxious and sad. Its grating enough to slow down bad ass rocking tunes but plink them and someone needs a whoopin’.
I have a very special place in my heart for FOB. They were one of the first bands I could listen to with my kid and actually like. It wasn’t Barney or Sesame St, it was legit rock with a nice hook.
Cher is 66 years old. There has been more gossip and scandal about this woman within her decades of fame. From being ‘kept’ by Sonny to ‘the bagel boy’ there
have been to some of the most violent shows and venues and not once have I found someone in the pit who was trying to get out that wasn’t assisted by fellow concert goers. It’s not a torture chamber and unless this cat was being a complete knob I don’t see (nor have I ever seen) a crowd turn on a fellow concert goer
There were bands with big talent and small fan bases and now it seems Honda has done a 180. Big crowds small talent- and naked Levine. Another sell out event and I don’t mean tickets.
Distributed by Eagle Vision Entertainment the info is not even official. Instead it was discovered by Morrissey stalkers and put up on his ‘True To You” site. For the record truetoyou.com isn’t even an ‘official’ Morrissey site but for some reason he periodically will post there. So they do have legitimacy!!
So what’s a club owner to do to make sure he’s not going to go out of business on a violation? Enter Boulder Colorado’s Aggie Theater. You’ll be greeted by bouncers withe breathalyzers as they try the latest idea in keeping the tipsy teens off property. Oh and you’re getting a pat down as well.
USA today reports that the show (in the works) is based upon the 2010 merch line featuring the Hello Kitty motif. The show will feature “four Kiss x Hello Kitty characters living their rock ‘n’ roll dreams and bringing pink anarchy to every situation they are in.”
Islam has spoken on the White House lawn, on talk shows such as Stephen Colbert and is well informed and well spoken on the politics of life, equality, peace and his religion. A wonderful soft spoken yet powerful man his speeches are inspiring and though provoking, and you don’t have to like “Peace Train” to appreciate it
A life that many will envy and most would avoid! I’m extremely fortunate, at age 71, to look back on my life and write down some of the incredible things that have happened to me. In the day-to-day life of a traveling musician, it’s easy to miss so many details. The world goes by at high-speed; it will take your breath away
Cmon this guy has been around forever and has made more loot from bad eyeliner than anyone ever will. Granted this is not a musical endeavour but can he really not find an investor for his latest effort? OH, wait, guess what the project is…. A comic book series.
An endless stream of non worthy visual this week. Not a huge surprise but really cant we have a late night show that gives us awesome bands at least once a week?
The coolest thing about Adam Ant was that it was the first musician that my mom and I agreed on. That poor woman saw more shaved and booted rockers come through her home and woke to many a floor full of unconscious punks.
Hardcore Fest is three jam packed days of sweat. Legends like Anthrax and Opeth headline Friday and Saturday and my personal HOOOAH, Suicidal Tendencies head up Sunday Night. Screw work or school, to miss these guys would be a crime.
The film is being written but Lee Hall who wrote the wonderful Billy Elliot.. see how this is all fitting together now? I see a Broadway rendition of this in our future.. yuck. Oh and if anyone knows any little boys- they’re having a bit of trouble casting 5 year old Elton.. heaven help us.
The woman who ‘knew the way to San Jose’, is on her way to bankruptcy court. It is never nice to read about financial misfortunes but I do have a problem with blatant system abuse
I see riots in parking lots lots of puking and at least 5 unplanned pregnancies with random strangers. This being said, you can opt for the Pitbull only tour if you want to avoid the filth doubling.
The genre span is pretty interesting. Certainly not pigeonholed into one sound Demon Music has a bit of something for everyone. See below for their sassy offerings
Yeah. I don’t suppose that there will be any action for kids on this but I can say that their fathers (and maybe even grandfathers) may really enjoy this sense of nostalgia. Gene Simmons has made no secret of his desire to make money at all effort but this I cant see too much profitability,
Using his ‘celebrity’ in such a way has become tiresome. We know your ‘solar bi polar panic disorder’ we know you got done wrong as a dad in your fathers rights crusade and we know your ex wife wasn’t nice and we know you adore your daughter more than life itself.
As I have mentioned here before there have been some insane auctions! Remember John Lennons TOOTH? Allot of rockers opt to auction for charity and I ‘get’ that. Its nice to use celebrity for a reason but to think 6 figures for an album that’s inked is amazing
They called him the perpetual teenager and I, for one, can totally relate. After strokes and age he became a shell of his former self and for some reason America allowed him to be propped up like a taxidermy moose next to Ryan Seacrest each New Years Eve so he could slobber out some indecipherable nonsense
I have seen The Eagles live ( I assure you it was under duress ) and I have seen Don Henley way too up close and personal and I will say even in the glorious 80s– it was a horror. Lets add thirty years to it and its sure to be a backing tape atrocity.
You’ll notice that Jimmy Kimmel is still not gracing my list. That’s because he is redneck filth and has not redeemed himself after the Morrissey bit. He can go find a new job now or find a way to make amends.
The film will of course showcase never-before-seen home movies and photographs from his formative years, the viewer will share in a clear-headed, open-minded exploration of James Douglas Morrison as a plain ol’, “human being
Look how adorably young he is here, all spiting Brit. He had yet to be Top 40 but he was on his way. Isn’t it sad how SNL has tanked when it started out as cutting edge as this?
