“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.
The energy simply wasn’t there. Morrissey wasn’t on fire and he certainly wastn having fun. Even during the encore he opted to do “Let Me Kiss You” instead of leaving us fired up on pop. I cant blame the crowd alone but I have seen enough footage of live Moz to know that he absolutely loves what he does and has a blast. He wasn’t having a blast Saturday night.
Just a ordinary average guy… Who has been serving up in your face rock journalism for decades. Happy Birthday Iman Lababedi
most odd of the oddity? Morrissey on the Colbert Report. Look, Sir, I do find you the bees knees but dont try to be funny or hepped up on political satire. You sing, we’ll worry about the rest.
This retrospective chronicles the band from the mid-1960s until today through documentaries, fiction features, concert films, music videos, experimental shorts, and archival footage, tracing the film careers of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood
I’m tempted to tune in for this one just to get a glimpse of these guys. I have to admit I really liked Gene Simmons; Family Jewels, television series and I’m sorta surprised we arent hearing more from his son Nick
I have no idea why anyone would put so much effort into hoping a band would reunite when they don’t want too. Last thing we need are four pouting grown men doing a job. The Smiths magic is GONE let it go
Take a moment to laugh at Morrissey driving the tractor at 2:53,what the hell is he doing! The other what the hell moment is when he is randomly carrying a dog. Dude put him down
Who is Blue Coupe? Now this is where it gets awkward. Albert and Joe Bouchard of Blue Oyster Cult and Dennis Dunaway from the original Alice Cooper Group. These are legendary performers who are asking for financial help just to record an album
Falling in Reverse isn’t a metal band but rather a victim of stereotyping. There are idiots in every genre to ban an entire category of rock and roll based upon the idiotic actions of a chronic offender is absurd.
“The Gambler” “Lucille” all seem very hokey yet there is not a person you know that cant belt out a line from anyone of them. What does that tell you? It tells you that no matter what you think of ‘country music’ or even of Rogers- that man has serious pop skills and is woven into American culture
The film will debut in the UK on October 15 and venture over to us shortly. Keep an eye on your local art house cinema. Of course, there is also a soundtrack available along with a new box set due out soon.
The amazing Lily Allen, and Radiohead both support the Featured Artists Coalition or FAC, who is working to negotiate the ‘dumping’ of the label by Universal.
“The FAC was formed by musicians who were fed up with the industry taking decisions without considering the impact it would have on those who actually make the music,”
100 people died that day Trapped in a filthy club as the flammable foam coating the walls ignited and created a brick fire oven. A horrible event at a Great White concert.
There is no doubt that cover songs make me happy. I’m not sure why rally but for the most part I like remakes more than originals. I adore the “Punk
He has actually elevated himself to my favorite of the two simply for his bad behavior. I love rock star antics- its why you become a rock star, it’s the only industry you can truly be a jerk and people will still love you and pay your mortgage.
Marina will also make a stop on the booze fueled ‘mothers little helper’ talk show “Today Show with Hoda and Kathy Lee”, have you ever seen that crap? Saturday Night Live even cant stoop low enough for that horrific show
The album “Los Angeles” is actually my favorite X album. it was recently honored with its own tour and thats how I got the opp to interview Ms Cervanka. “Wild Gift” followed it like a bridesmaid. A bit more in the shadow but plotting something bigger.
Townshend explains he was himself a victim of sexual abuse when he was young, continuing: “I had experienced something creepy as a child. So you imagine, ‘What if I was a girl of nine or ten, and my uncle had raped me every week?’ I felt I had an understanding and I could help.”
This past week Morrissey was in a bookstore in New York City. An elderly woman fell nearby. He bent down to gather her belongings and ask if she was ok
I have made no secret that I’m a fan but there are songs that simply crack me up with their shmarminess. Not as bad as “Having My Baby”, Paul Anka’s oddity, but there are a few that make me want to wash my hands.
The problem for a visual based artist is that they are only as good as their last show. This isn’t very good- you can do better. I noticed you used that stop action thing, you’re good at that and it does make things a bit more creepy. I think we fans are sorta sick of the stripe ala Boy George makeup though, you can cut that loose anytime
This is like fashion week for music. Showcases presenting what’s new and what’s trending and providing fans with entertainment and performers with conferences and panels to help them with their careers. All you need is a badge and some patience to get the most out of this event.
Whitney Houston passed away in February in the saddest of circumstance. Her family made her funeral a circus and hear daughter, poor thing, literally flipped out. Being in the spotlight is a tough way to live and it doesnt end once your dead either.
Local Girls” was on heavy rotation for a long time. Used exclusively at home for primping time. It took a good hour to look unkempt so this was a great dance and tease the hair tune. Hearing it now it still conjures up great memories of singing in the hairbrush or drumming with two eye pencils
Perhaps rounded up but the point remains that I doubt you can name another show that required you to apply to buy. 27 years since their last show- fans were mangy and junkyard dogs to get a glimpse. The children of fans were now fans and weren’t even alive so all the more fervor.
I want Pitbulls job. All you have to do is giggle, yell out your area code, roll some R’s and talk about booties. This I can do and would do gladly. How he manages to maintain and build on his career is amazing on every level. He gathers up his buddies, throws a word in now and then, does a bad dance
Katy is pretty cool. Some of her yelping can be annoying and the cutesy thing gets old but seriously she makes her shows true events and has very little scandal attached to her. About the only issues of gossip are her boobs and Russell Brand.
I am Conor Oberst and I have 24 million different things going on… if you cant keep up well, your loss. After our fantastic coverage of the solo Conor show in LA,and the pre jitters of his November Carnegie Hall gig we have his mug on TV. Only this time as Desaparecidos.
The below video is a good indication of how they have aged. Gracefully. Debbie Harry is still gorgeous and fun and the band well they pretty much look the same. Time has been fine to the band despite the adversity and health scares they have had along the way
This isn’t a matter of the goody goody imaged pop star playing a hardcore folk hippy it more has to do with how the hell did Taylor Swift become an actress? Models turn actress, musicians turn actress, actress turned..musician and so it goes
Simply said fans are outside the stage door now waiting for Jacks exit. Hipster riot indeed. The details will flow soon, and rocknyc was on the scene and can honestly state that the show was seamless and perfection. Either this abrupt ending was planned or Jack just cut the encore.
This just in I don’t care who you’re voting for, that it’s your kids first day at daycare (BTW don’t have kids if you’re going to throw them in daycare anyway) and I certainly don’t want to see your pig roast or Aunt Gert. I do want to hear new music
‘The huge decline we have experienced in young double-bass musicians in recent times has come as a real surprise, and raises concern over the assembly, quality and continuation of youth and adult orchestras in future, if this trend is not reversed
How about make a decent cost on the concert ticket and let people actually come see you? Nah, lets sell them a $20. DVD so they can sit in their double wides and become double wide.
Stereotypical coming of age hate my parents, worlds better off without me, wooo I’m a star recipe. Some rather great lines (and even more awesome title) in the single “Two Fingers”.
Yes, I know he sells butter on TV but when you get down to the heart of it he totally could be cashing in on the Pistols for more than he would make eating breakfast. He opts not too- give him some credit for that
An annual tribute show, that’s cool A book about growing up Ramone..yup that’s fine.. Scraping shit off the cutting room floor for ONE MORE RECORD, is not only greed it is disrespectful
Have you heard "Death of A Rude Boy" yet? Well, lest start by forcing you to hear that. Grown up Madness from the fun Ska boys who sing on the Queens
“It could just mean that we heart radio and this is a combination of our love,” Nick joked. “No, but it does mean that the album is coming along and that we’re days, if not hours away from choosing a single so it’s very exciting. We’ve got a good team around us and we’re excited to get the music out there for our fans.”
“There are songs that he’s written that will be a part of the next record. We’re all going to have to think like him, and he’ll be there. He’ll be there; there’s no way of Paul Gray not being a part of anything that we do for the rest of our career.”
Well it’s nearly October so this is a pretty good example of the end results No big surprises either. We may not be able to afford gas or food but screw that I’m not missing One Direction, I can starve. Basically the economy cant be that bad if these acts are raking in the dough!
A simple enough task that left Whitehead forever changed and in awe as he was “Astonished, not only by the incredible power of the Stones’ performances, but especially by the raw energy of the crowds of young people that rushed them everywhere.”
From the insanity of the opening ticks to the swirly fun house ride through sound there was no containing my love of this album. Loving Devo was a death sentence.
We cant say enough that 50 years at any job is a great accomplishment and these guys lived it hard. Maybe we should just cut them some slack and not expect anything. I do like the stop starts of hype though. Keeps ya on your toes.
He wrote a very odd letter to rocker Marilyn Manson- I have no idea what he is talking about but I don’t think he knows either. The photo is of the exact document and below is the transcript for you to trudge through. The dude is a head case. I dig it and if anyone can outcreep Manson….its the original Manson.
I worry that it will tarnis the amazing memories of “Bizarre Love Triangle” or the stellar brilliance fo “Blue Monday’. Best of all “Age of Consent” with some of the best drum sounds of all time. Decades and decades later theyre going to the studio.
“We don’t see each other too often, but no sooner do we start talking than some little innuendo creeps in. Some old memory pops up, and you go ‘Whoa, that’s one to forget!’ There’s lot of those things drifting around.”
Raise your hand if you're sick of cant Lo Greene. The guy is everywhere and painful on the eyes. He breaks one solo hit and hes like shrapnel, you can't
I realize of course with 11 years on a shelf comes some aging process but how about more ska less club? This isn’t ‘duh club’ clubbing music, on the contrary this is haggard Madonna wanting to pulse it for the queens.
