“Unplugged” took our favorite bands and literally unplugged them, putting them in the round with no enhancement. Acoustic performances by those we never thought we would hear in such raw form. I would have to say Nirvana and Pearl Jams episodes are the most remembered to me.
Saxman Geoff Blythe (whose resume is staggering and includes working with Elvis Costello and Nick Lowe. As well as being a founding member of Dexys Midnight Runners) and his merry men of GI Blythe have recorded a new LP called “Lost In Space”. A brass fused frolic that is aggressive and melodic and incredibly unique.
I suggest you rent Rude Boy. A Clash film to die for and well worth your viewing time. The Filth and The Fury is another fun movie you could rent if you need a bit of music on the box… cuz ya ain’t getting it from the Satellites this week.
I love ABC and now they will be my favorite network. Why? Cuz thanks to them we don't have to watch a 53 year old sinewy Botox blob roll around
Hmm wonder what could have prevented Orlando Calling from happening. Lets see, great weather, super location could it be the line up? Kid Rock? Doobie Brothers? The Roots? Wait.. maybe Bob Seger?
They sound as haunting and powerful as ever, I’m actually proud of this work. Take that you upstarts heres a rock band that putting your sound to shame.
Well first of all you get to throw down silly comments and reminisce about the past but you also get contacted by cool people.
This is odd. According to the Brit press the hot boy band One Direction is under strict rule to not engage in any sexual encounters while in the US.
The release is only about thirty minutes in length. This may be why its called Volume 1, there must be boatloads more material that they will allow out in metered doses.
Record Store Day is a cool hipster idea that simply is too hip. I’m sure those that participate are die hard audiophiles and the rest just use them as decoration and wait for the digital download of the vinyl. It is good though, to support your local shop (if you still have one).
A ‘No Shoe Rule’ simply means that the home owner is too lazy to properly clean their home. P. Diddy should have battalions of domestics cleaning up after my Doc Martins cuz hell no way am I putting on Diddy shoes.
Yeah, he’s old and beat up and sort of a parody but I still love his psychosis. He tries so hard and the Industrial-Goth scene wouldnt amount to a hill of beans with out him.
But what actually ended up happening was that hipsters in London thought, wow, this is amazing, and hipsters in Williamsburg and hipsters in Berlin were like, wow, this is cool. And meanwhile people in Birmingham were like, well, no, we kind of like whoever the big rap thing is. And you’re not UK hip-hop, mate, ‘cos it needs to sound American.”
This take on a video game, wait or is it Hunger Games, wait.. or is it Deer Hunter or is it wait.. So poorly excecuted that we have no idea what theyre trying to say? Yes, thats it. This over budget GI Joe wanna be ‘Nam crap is laughable and pathetic. Im embarrassed for them.
Jack Black and Kyle Gaas are back. Bigger rounder balder and bad asser than ever. Not only are they touring this summer but they have a nice 6 minute video of nonsense to share with us as well. Long live bad comedy acts.
Buick was the car your grandpa drove. Get in the Buick go on down to the Sears and get a pair of pants. Safe, dependable and boring.
The show has no actual start date but will begin this summer. I really like Cyndi and I’m not so sure this was a good idea. We have Gene Simmons, we had Ozzy and more. Will she have enough audience to make it interesting?
‘I’m more focusing on my other things, like my shoe line, I’m designing for that,’ Fergie explained. ‘I’m really getting to work from home, and I’m loving it
Her little monsters, the cast outs of society who simply cannot tell when their leader has sold out will hold all sort of raves in her honor. She really is the patron saint of lost souls.
Adele couldn’t make it so word is she settled for Lady Gaga to guest with her instead. To icons in the gay dance movement all these two would need is Madonna and Liza Minelli and it would be a glow stick party time.
Well pad the floor and get the safety harnesses out. Steven Tyler and the boys are about to hit the road and if things go as per usual, some ones gonna be falling off the stage sometime real soon.
Television is becoming a musical desert. Rare performances for the armchair brigade. It saddens me since there were so many bands that I discovered via television during my youth.
We ended up not doing anything more for a couple of reasons, including Rod’s busy solo schedule and his Vegas commitments, which is why we brought in Mick [Hucknall] for a few dates.”
There was a rivalry at the time that got many a fist fight started. As someone who did time in both the Boston and the New York scene I can tell you first hand that Boston had the most psychotic scene of all.
So what’s up with Notorious B.I.G.? I know he’s legend, I know he died young- that’s it. Til I was introduced to the song “Juicy” a story of the rise of a boy who went from nothing to wealth.
With all due respect, when you get to Patti Smith you’re about two steps away from Pete Seeger.
The whole “Mr 305”, fake laugh, studly stance just kills me every time. This dude has more confidence in his machismo than Chuck Norris. Yet I love his music, because it is so cheesy.
If I remember correctly according to this album there were only five years left of Earth.. where are those fleas the size of rats and rats the size of cats anyway?
These styles included melding live-action photography with animation, 3-dimensional sequences and kaleidoscopic ‘rotoscoping’ where film is traced frame by frame into drawings. The entire process took nearly two years
The Doors are one of the most influential bands of our lifetime. There are times when I shun them as uncool and times like right now, when I am stunned at how thrilling they can be. This video couldn’t be more perfect.
May 19th would have been Joey Ramones 61st birthday. There are those of us who were (and are) in awe of what this lanky bean pole did for rock and roll. I do believe he single facedly made being ugly sexy as hell.
A long haired dark glasses wearing smarmy pervy character on all the talk shows. The guy was on the Dinah Shore Show, Mike Douglas Show.. and even all the game shows.
The paintings encircled the gallery, reminiscent of early film, offering the artworks “a sense of motion, giving a cinematic quality to the paintings”, Sotheby’s said.
Apparently, it’s time to put the baby in a carrier and hit the stage. The thoughts are now that the mega mother will embark on tour soon. Husband Jay Z was reported to be in talks with Live Nation

McLean said that he is starting to think towards retirement but before going there, he has put together a new documentary, Don McLean: American Troubadour, that is airing on many PBS stations
This film was about a singer and her stalker (played by Kevin Costner) and was a huge success but if Whitney hadn’t died- I doubt highly there would have been all the hoopla being given for the anniversary of its release.
The record marks a return to the piano-bass-drums trio format heard on his classic early records such as the live 11-17-70. What? No more dance crap? Can this be happening?
Ben is known for his folksy blues inspired rock as much as his humanitarian efforts. I have nothing unkind to say about him other than the fact that he got Jack Johnson his record deal. That the world could have done without.
‘When I set out to make this beer, I was going for something with a clear taste and a full flavor. Instead I got a pretty decent buzz. We had a great time creating this beer and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do…”
Whats a Woodie? Its MTvs new artist showcase.. whats MTV? Good question, theyre the station that thinks kids are either pregnant, drunk or riding a skateboard into a car wash.
“I’m really upset by the timing of this. CAMP tour will go on, but dates will be postponed. … All tickets will be honored for whatever date they’re moved to. In some cases there will be more tickets available because the venues will be bigger
Perhaps they gave us this so that every other song would be stellar in comparison? Maybe this was a mistake? A favor to some ones kid? There has to be a legitimate reason
There will never be a series as cool as Night Flight, MTV is dead and buried and Fuse has evolved into TMZ with a soundtrack. Music on television is an idea that came and went and I blame the internet. Youtube rules the satelites
There is some mention that an alternate tribute. The Stones might play multiple nights in major markets in place of extensive touring. Easier on the disposition at that age.
The Desert Sun also reported that the city has been working with the area’s residents regarding concerns “such as jaywalkers and trespassers who urinate and defecate on property and ride people’s animals.”
Dancing prostitutes in church is another great name for a band. Punk is supposed to be political, the US has no cred this is real punk rock behaviour. Granted not the brightest when you live in Russia
Over 60 people were engaged in a aggressive mosh dance’ and bashed up by the RiverStamp maniacs. But no injuries- it just looked bad. Mosh pits are a joke these days. If a 14 year old chick can crowd surf a mosh pit- its lame.
There is Grandpa and his friends from the Rotary Club making great music for teenagers. I expect Chris Hanson to show up like this is a horrible episode of Dateline. They don’t fit- they look horrific and to make matters worse lets throw in some teenaged sexuality to really make me want to puke.
A fuzzy sort of song that combines that typical Brit based pop sound with a bit more flashy drum and guitar action. It’s as if those instruments are the lead and singer…. is back up.
