‘I was taken to the Glastonbury Festival every year but I won’t be taking Ethel there – although that’s more for selfish reasons, because I want to go and enjoy myself!’

Their die hard fans rejoicing and demanding more. So the guys are tossing out a bone. A live CD/DVD combo pack in it will be full footage of the band’s Olympic games closing show this summer at London’s Hyde Park
Apparently, Ferry is quite a fan of the music created between World War 1 and World War 2. So that being said he assembled his own jazz band.
I have chosen to do The Singles from 2004 because it best represents the diversity of a band that I adore. I have seen Chrissie live just once and can never see her again. With idols you let it happen and save that memory.
I have always found Joe Perry to be the cooler of the two. There is a quiet awesomeness he posses to Tylers psychotic swag. I love how even in these ‘official quotes’, Perry is more reserved and concise!
50 and Counting is set to be a phenomenal global celebration of the Rolling Stones and we’ll soon be announcing further plans to make it an interactive experience for fans like no other,” said Tim Hincks, president of Endemol Group
There will be tears. There will be tears and fainting. Z100 is helping ease us all in to the Mayan end of the world with a screech
“As a matter of interest the same photograph can be found on many FaceBook pages and on the web, except for ours after the FaceBook team removed them. I am devastated, upset with this outcome and we will do our best for recompense”
HooHA its Taylor Swift week on television! I suppose you’re all in a post CMJ coma, so this works out great! What could be more mindless brain download that a week of the bubbly pop princess
Its good to see him living a normal life, its not so good to have him describe as such. But wait, isn’t David famous for being pale?
Young has always been pretty up front with his thoughts on business and politics and seems to be on a soapbox most of the time. The book provide an honest approach to telling the story in his own voice
17 holiday classics that have been tumbled up and redone right in time for your Yule log.
Alternative, folk, electronica and even blue grass is featured in a very short time span.
Seems those celebs are always sobbing about some pet charity. I cannot stand seeing grown men cry cuz they’re so touched by children who were born with horns or women with degenerative gum disorder
Artist Peter Saville is now talking about his work and in an upcoming conference will go into even more detail The New York ‘Visualized’ conference takes place November 8 and 9 in NYC.
If there were a fist fight my dough would be on Rob without a doubt. That man can whip you with a dreadlock. But Manson and Zombie are touring together and all is not well.
Kids Company” a British charity which provides support to vulnerable children will be the recipients of the proceeds from the Coldplay art show. Coldplay art? Actually album art-
Although Twisted Sister is disturbing to look at, I think a Manson, Zombie or even Gwar would have fit better. I love the idea of sending old rockers out to sea though.
It’s the same old wanna be cool hipster crap we are served from time to time when someone gets a bee in their bonnet that they’re more ‘fringe’ and ‘cutting edge’ than they really are. Simply said whomever booked this gig wanted to see Taylors full monty and got it
Four days four nights from Fort Lauderdale to Labadee Haiti. When did Haiti become a destination? It’s the Hell Boat. This got me thinking that maybe this is our way of getting back at those pesky pirates
We in the States weren’t privy to his work but any fan of rockabilly did enough searching to find him. His twangy ‘skiffle’ ushered the UK into a new sound mixing jazz and hillbilly. He has been given name checks in interviews and acceptance speeches from everyone from Jack White to Roger Daltry and his legend lives on.
A new DVD/cd combo is being released on November 13 in celebration of their ridiculous and long career. Revealing the highs and lows of their forty years of business all the band members and producers throw in their two cents here.
The problem with this weeks Sassy Bach is that I can’t even recall when I got a hold of this album but I do remember what I was wearing. I think it must have been very early 80s there was a poster on my wall of Sylvester Stallone in the Lords of Flatbush hanging on my wall.
This year has a great line up. Gary Clark Jr, The Flaming Lips, Jack White, it’s a who’s who of the hipster set. Another great gimmick for the event is that this year it is all acoustic.
“The band went in, and knocked them dead in 2 minutes fifty nine.”, said The Clash in Hitsville Hits UK, apparently Lana feels that four times that is the charm? Some of the imagery is actually pretty cool. I like that seedy side of things but holy hell on hamburger what is up with that voice?
Jeff Lynne is the voice of an old friend. I have always been a fan of ELO and to a fault promote them Corny? Yup! But I think the sound of Lynne’s voice has a somewhat soothing effect on me and considering the chaos I usually listen to- well its like a warm blanket.
The nominees are official and voting ends on December 17, for the 2013 Songwriters Hall of Fame.. This honor has been bestowed upon some really lame people in years past but then again there have never been such amazing artists on the list. So without further delay let me congratulate Mr. Elvis Costello for his nomination into this ‘hall’.
This has to be the most horrible cover Punk Goes has ever done. The music is horrific the vocals pathetic and usually you can count on an awesome hip rendition of a really popular tune. In this case it sounds like the 11th grade garage band trying to book a gig for a school dance. Totally loosing the original vibe and replacing it with absolutely nothing of value.
”Sorry to keep you all hanging around but the waiting is over,” Richards added. “I’ve always said the best place for rock and roll is on the stage and the same is true for the Stones.”
Does Big Machine sound familiar to you? Maybe not but they’re the folks who gave Taylor Swift her big break and there is more where that came from .
First and foremost though, Matlock is a dynamic bassist and writer who since those Pistol days has not say around like a boring old cow bitching how he coulda been a contender.
Those of you who saw Morrissey on Colbert may agree with me that maybe rock and roll and talk shows don’t mix (Colbert deserved a slap). Anyway this week we have the ever fabulous Paul Weller and not a hill of beans else.
There are many late 30 early 40 something’s who will purchase this. They’re the same guys who fire up the John Deere on the weekends and find the battery operated singing fish Billy Bass hilarious. This is a snapshot of the decline of Western Civilization.
Antipathy Records endorsed “Hamerfest” is organized by the white supremacist group “Hammerskin Nation”.
When last I saw the band they were playing Los Angeles in its entirety and it was a brilliant thing. I actually got to speak to my idol Exene Cervanka and found her to be just as hot a ticket as she was ‘back in the day’ the girl is an inspiration.
The show was originally a fundraiser to help renovate the childhood home of the singer, which is now owned by Arkansas State University who wanted it opened to the public. Extra funding is to go to scholarships in Cash’s name
Music can be written down and performed by anyone with the skill of instrument but to replicate vocals is virtually impossible- you nearly will sound like a cover band, unless of course you’re that guy who took over Stephen Perrys gig in Journey, that guy totally sounds the same.
As much as I am not a fan, I still found quotes from band mate Mike Dirnt to be rather sweet. Of course, his paycheck is on hold until Billie stands up but still its not often we hear or see a true bromance with any sort of sincerity
A brand new Broadway musical is opening this spring with a pretty interesting story line. Perhaps you have heard of the contests to win a prize, the challenge being you must keep your hand on something for hours and hours
The band is touring in support of their LP ‘Strangeland’ which was released in May. Theyre all over the place too from Lebanon to Switzerland to… Maine. Go figure.
The slow death started when Aaron Gillespie left the band and since then, it’s just been a matter of time. The dynamic of the band had shifted.
The photographer passed away last year at age 71. Editors of Life magazine and Time Home Entertainment hopped up lickety split to complete the project they had been working on with Whitaker. The results are greatness.
This still in its infancy of course but fear not- it will happen. This new interest in The Go Go’s has also fired up rumors that the band is planning on writing a couple new songs
“We ask for all stations and all people to observe this date by going silent for 20 seconds, and follow that with the airing of ‘Freebird,’ the most requested song in history,”
The song “Hate Me” was on the radio a bit on a local alt station and I found the vocalists tone contagious and the angry lyrics captivating. It was the first album I had purchased in years and it jump started my musical interest again.
Music titles or band names assist in creating a time stamp on a books scenery. Considering each decade has musical representation it adds to the character of written word plus if you have the skill you can hum out the tune as you read
The band formed in 1984 and maintained their original line up until the untimely demise of Cory Smoot on the tour bus in Canada..weird scene man. This ‘shock rock’ shtick was created by Alice Cooper than after years turned in to this idiotic redneck fun.
Each band will stage a show this month at the Third Man Records complex in Nashville. The shows will be recorded and released individually. White’s Third Man building – which features a live venue, a recording studio and a retail store its like Disneyland
This is art music for art people, but not original works. Pure 80s Lena/Nina with a dash of Amanda. She is not original in the slightest. From her dance to her pre recorded music
Having come late to the Blur appreciation table it brings me great joy to say they may well be back for good. I also must say I am being a
“I would go out tonight but I havent got a stitch to wear”, this line is uttered by me at least once a week for over 30 years now. This pop tart skip along beat is so contagious that I can do this on constant repeat for eternity.
