Resolution J4637 is a great name for a tune but an even better tribute to a man who’s dynamic presence changed the climate of music in his time. Yauch was paid fitting tribute by the Senate of New York

Henry Sins, Emcee of "Cabaret"

Now I already knew Sins to be a wonderful intelligent guy with a hipster flair and a way with words but what I found most startling tonight was the watching what a brilliant actor he is. In his first production he not only stole the show he stole the hearts and minds of every audience member.

Happy Birthday Joey Ramone

Joey Ramone was many things to many people and most I have encountered found him not to be the most friendly guy, thus adding to his rock and roll swagger. I thought he was a great guy but my eyes were clouded with idol worship.

The Best of The Monkees Reviewed In A Way

The songs on this LP were recorded from 1966 to 1969, so basically during my life span of birth to three. Yet as a young Hel I can vividly remember hearing ‘Cheer Up Sleepy Jean” through the wall as my sister and her friends squealed.

Slash 'You're A Lie' Video Review

What crap. Slash is silly. Thank God for the hat or we would think he was Howard Stern but at least Stern embraces his age, Slash thinks hes 20. What he has done here is assembled a band with an Axl impersonator and made a song that will impress about 20 people and horrify their kids

Lady Gaga Flesh Dress 2

I’m not quite sure why I am even giving this the time of day, its really just a pathetic attempt at shock cuz it isn’t shocking me. Wear an outfit of human skin then maybe I’ll turn my head- this is just sad and desperate.

Say Anything Documentary Trailer

What I find almost as annoying is the ego required to release a self documentary when you as a band have been around for a shorter span of time than my Doc Martins. Lets face it this is a brilliant way of cashing in on a career that has the shelf life of Wonder Bread.

What could possibly be the reason for all the rehearsing? One thought is that since singer Mick Jagger is scheduled to appear as both host and musical guest on the season finale of Saturday Night Live on May 19, the Stones might join him on stage for the performance

Stevie Wonder Extortion Plot

Alpha Walker and Tamera Diaz did. What idiots, the pair demanded $5 million from Wonder and threatened to go to the media with a tale of incest. They later lowered the sum to $10,000 and were arrested by undercover police posing as representatives of the musician

Everclear "Be Careful What You Ask For", Reviewed

To be honest there is nothing new about it. It is as if there were lost demo’s or something, it is that true to early Everclear. I suppose the die hard fans (are there any?) will love this. If you are stuck in the last decade, well hot diggity for you, you’ve got a new tune to love

Jimmy Fallon, 'Blow Your Pants Off' LP

“Speed of Life”, is the first book ever to show a visual account of David Bowie’s ongoing relationship with Japan and it’s influence on his work. Both authors’ words are written in English and Japanese, again adding to the arrogance level.

Foo Fighters Million Dollar Demo's Leaked

Leaks are planned by the way, there isn’t some covert operation of guys in ski caps stealing mp3 files and putting them on Youtube. Nope, they’re calculated publicity stunts that you fall for every time. It makes you feel as if you’re one step ahead of ‘the man’, but you aren’t.

‘This isn’t tolerated whatsoever,’ an executive said. ‘We need to show more respect to the people at home. It’s like he can’t be bothered. This isn’t a mickey-mouse satellite channel, this is the BBC where high-production values are key. He’s making a mockery of the show.’

Why The Sex Pistols Turned Down The Olympics Gig

“Censorship mattered more than the content of the Pistols. If you’re going to be celebrating what is great about Britain, the honesty of the Sex Pistols is one of those things. If you censor the words of any one song, you’re killing the honesty and I couldn’t tolerate that.”

Tom Jones Sounds Off on Amy Winehouse

I mean back in the day he was swoony as hell and women whipped their underwear at him. At the time having a pair of pink fruit of the looms whipped at the stage was the ultimate in sex symbol swag.
