Word is Chief Keef is taking the rap world by storm. I don’t live in the rap world so I cant qualify that but hey, good for him. Kanye is such a lyrical genius that he can pretty much cough a tune and it would work on some level
Some of you may scoff at this old time crooner but that just shows your lack of suave. Yeah, suave not swag. The Rat Pack was and always will be the epitome of suave. Tuxedo wearing men with cocktails woo’ing the ladies and belting out tunes.
We tend to forget that once you have a kid your life is done. Everything you do for the rest of your life is for them- its a horrible thing, which is why they invented birth control
Truth is I love Deathcab, yeah Gibbard is a freak but so what? He was a hip nerd as long as Weezer, like the original crew of latte’ suckers. But to shun the top right corner is a sin unforgiving.
The guys have taken their fresh faced tunes and really aged them horribly. More like dusty drag queens then a fresh faced boy band. The ladies love them though, but men? Can I get a male Duran Duran fan to raise their hand?
AOL is really owning this movement with their ‘Listening Party’ series. They take a few LPs and let them loose for all to hear. This latest round caught my eye simply based on the diversity of the artists.
Yup, lets send out holograms of living and dead stars. We can do a hologram ‘We Are The World”, we can become a sci fi movie with this stuff, think about it. You can hire a hologram to perform in your backyard- really all you need is speakers and a projector.
Let’s be honest here, hiatus means done. Name me one band other than the Eagles who have used the word ‘hiatus’ and returned. Wait, maybe there are a few but not enough to make being on hiatus just a break.
These over 21 gigs are getting interesting. As Mary Magpie wrote of clubs for over 18’ers are cramping kids style. Then again, should kids that young be going to clubs anyway? When I was 12 years old I got a fake ID and hit the punk scene, I turned out ok.. right?
I am no ‘God Bless America” type gal Trust me, I’m pretty much just living my life, laying low and trying not to cause too much harm. I find it amusing that the Commanders at Fort Knox pretty much think he is a tool, as I do! Finally I have something in common with the US military!
This was a pay back for Marilyn’s gratis performance at Depp’s son’s birthday party earlier in the month. The whole lot of them are weirdos- but then again its all an act. While on this topic if we put Jack White, Johnny Depp and Marilyn Manson in a blender, no one would notice
But, as mentioned the soundtrack is actually spiffy. It will contain a new song by Scott Weiland titled ‘Breathe’, how interesting… Scott, as we all know has lost his marbles and lives in a tiny world of his own.
I loved their performance at the Secret Policemans Ball. So full of energy and fun. But they see to be a hit or miss operation. Love them or hate them they are a mega pop band and should be treated as such. I’m kidding…
Now Steven is pitching chicken. Yup, Burger King chicken strips has a brand new guy. You thought that the King was scary looking? Check out the commercial! I suppose the money is good and the exposure is outstanding but I’m really stunned to see such a legend selling fast food.
That musicians are now speaking out against Village Voice Media’s refusal to take down the Adult section of Backpage.com where pimps advertise the sale of girls for sex is significant
The Smiths were one of those bands that we will love because they fit in their time so well. The Smiths were a great example of the turning point of new wave/emo/alt. They were a bridge of brilliance, so to speak. A band I will always love and never ever want to age
Welcome to May!! This month of flowers and happiness will kick off with a week of mediocre bands and lots of bla bla bla. On the flip side there are some amazing LIVE acts coming to the Northeast so really this television bit is only for those of you who have the flu or insomnia.
Free of charge and not having to smell anyones sweat I sat back and watch Jack White and his band of merry makers on two cameras. A cute idea to have it on ‘venue cam’ and,’garys cam’. Gary did a nice job. Who the hell is Gary?
As for the future of DRUGS… I obviously have a few things to figure out as this was a completely unexpected turn of events. I will let you, the fans, know what the future holds for Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows soon.
Jackson is infamous for his smooth sound and timeless work. The guy has been around forever but his music still has relevance- and another nothing to prove persona. I love the idea of improv for the set list.
By all recipe I should hate this crap. Hand clapping? Girl group back up vocals? yuck. Keyboard tripping solo’s? Jesus in any other forum I would be screaming for mercy. Instead I am screaming for more.
Yousef has captivated millions with his Cat Stevens work and has carried it gracefully throuhg name change and personal changes. His voice remains true and there are many performances recorded to prove this. I had no idea he was working on a show, but it seems a wonderful thing
They dressed up in ladylike gloves, pastel vintage dresses and flower crowns to mark the occasion on Tuesday. Taylor wore a cream 50s-style slip dress complete with gloves and pearl earrings.
The video done in soft light with symbolic flash is peppered with photographs and home movies of Furstenfelds daughter, Blue. A beautiful little girl with a wonderful father. A campaign pioneer for fathers rights after his marriage ended less than amicably. The video suits the song very well.
“We will carry the flag into mainstream territory; we will trespass on their turf all across America,” said Five Finger Death Punch’s Zoltan Bathory. “The combined power of Metal Hammer and all these bands enable us to make a statement, a really loud one.
You’d think I’d have something snarky to say about the Beach Boys, buncha old dudes in Hawaiin shirts, right? Wrong. These are some way cool cats and you whippersnappers should pony up for some schooling.
Together the team invested a lot of time and effort into this kick ass project: “We worked on the lyrics intensively to really give the songs a lot of meaning and that special emotional depth. I think that these are some of the best lyrics ever, period.
Iggy, king of the do whatever I please, is about to release a new album of songs that have inspired him. That alone is the coolest thing ever cuz seriously, what inspires someone who has inspired so many? I love the idea! But Iggy is Iggy..so he has opted to sing all of the songs… in French.
See killing costs coin, so I hope he invested well from his “Wango Tango” days. Nugent wounded a bear with a bow and arrow then killed another- a violation of the 1per customer rule
A proud stoner Willie speaks his mind and pays the price – ya gotta respect him for not being a hypocrite that’s for sure! The unveiling was fitting on April 20 – or 4/20, which is slang for smoking marijuana
“Be careful what you wish for! It’s a f**king no-man’s land out there at this point,” he told Kerrang! magazine. “The rules have changed so much, and the tips I might have given out when the music industry was easier to understand really don’t apply any more
The odd thing about this festival is the other bands taking part. Saturday’s schedule also features Modest Mouse, The Gaslight Anthem and Lucero on the Orion main stage. With other stages tagged “Fuel,” “Damage Inc.” and ‘Frantic,”
What stunned me more than the precision of this event is the crowd itself. Worcesters hardcore scene is vicious but this was a brotherhood that I had not seen before. Could be that they were on best behaviour so they wouldn’t miss their faves but regardless there was a lot less smack talk going on.
First up Marilyn Manson reciting his song ‘Overneath The Path Of Misery’, from his upcoming ‘Born Villain’ LP which is out on April 30th. Well, one thing is for certain he like to speak using his ‘spookyvoice’ and that choppy edit is pure Manson.
Mayhem Festival is usually the summer tour sponsodred by Rockstar Energy Drink. Rockstar leader Kevin Lyman stated .”We are just excited to get to put this together,” he stated. “It has been a fun process for both of us and really allows us to expand the Mayhem brand and good times.”
Figure their ‘Jugaloo”s are basically social outcast kids who just want to be cool. Fair enough, who doesn’t. Its just unfortunate that Insane Clown Posse couldn’t have better music. I would totally hop on board for the psychological fascination alone
By golly, It IS RECORD STORED DAY! I have to say it was Mary Magpies idea to go there in the first place. She has picked up a retro turntable and suddenly is queen hipster so we went to check out what they had, not even realizing they could be celebrating this event,
Well get this they’re about to embark on a three date reunion tour. Can a tour be 3 dates? Heralding themselves as the kings of NYHC, they aren’t even playing New York City. What the hell is that about?
From the twangy fresh faced love struck sexually neutral start, to the flower power hippie vegan, to the stoner hip chain smoker he was able to keep his mug in the news. A nice kid that we spoke to at Warped Tour but just a bit annoying.
Roy Orbison! That alone makes this week a good week for television. We do need to get through a week of Train, Daughtry and Vince Gill but heck we have been through much worse.
Great voice and for a bit he sorta resembled Brooke Shields in ‘his day’ he was able to cross over some amazing sounds. Such a fabulous voice that Culture Club were able to rise above the gender bending role.
I found it annoying the few times I have seen it with some of the most horrid stereotypes, yet for some reason it has a huge following. The season finale is fast approaching and the soundtrack is quite fitting
Midge Ure, Billy Currie, Chris Cross and Warren Cann make up the 1980’s band Ultravox They haven’t done a darn thing in twenty eight years. But for some reason they decided to gather up and record once again.
There is nothing more annoying that a faked out British accent, well nothing unless you try to mimic a Beatle. This is the most garage band version of a song I have heard in a great while. This is almost an atrocity
‘I always get injured but I never get an injury where I can’t get back on the board,’ he said at the time. ‘Remember we had the nine stitches? That didn’t mean we couldn’t skate the next day, so we skated the next day.’
The Worcester Palladium will host the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival. This grimy venue will hours 3 days of hardcore thrashing mayhem and I’m predicting allot of kicked out teeth and lost shoes. rocknyc will be there all three days to catch the scene as this Festival slams in to action.
Iman and I were sad it would never return. Well now, looks like there has been a change of heart. The UK Daily Star revealed that James Buckley (who plays the role of Jay Cartwright) let the cat out of the bag. The boys will return and either be at college or with job.
Mental disorders are no less serious than physical disorders, in fact, they can be interchangeable as pop star Demi Lovato bravely battled an eating disorder and self harming finally seeking help in 2010. The best part about this stint in rehab is she has not dwelled on it or used it as a soapbox, she shoots from the hip spreading positifvity and has become a role model to many.
Run to your local record shop and support their efforts- if you can find one cuz I certainly cannot. Luckily this tune is also digital cuz if it was only on that vinyl well none of us would have heard it yet, right?
The show will be the first installment in the third season of American Express’ “Unstaged” series which matches a musician and an famous filmmaker and see what happens. The show from New York City’s Webster Hall will stream live on April 27th at 9pm.
