Will.i.am Student Saviour

“They might as well call that movie ‘Waiting for William.’ That’s the reason why I’m doing what I am doing because that movie hits straight to heart because my mom went to one of those schools,” he said.

"One Drop", Public Image Ltd, Reviewed

This is not to say Lydon has lost his mojo- not at all. It is just interesting to hear an all so familiar voice with such obvious distortion. Its as if he should clear his throat or something, a warble in the resonance.

Stranglers and Sex Pistols…Sorta

Cornwell was with the Stranglers from 74-90, and is most responsible for their mainstream hits ‘Peaches’, ‘Nice and Sleazy’ and the lot. Matlock of course was the bitter bassist who never said a nice thing about the Pistols since the day that band died. He bailed in 1977 but jumped on the gravy train for some reunion stuff in 1996 and 2002-2003.

Jay Z & Kanye "Nigga's In Paris" Reviewed

Most buzz now is the issue of Illuminati in rap. If you take the time to find out what that is, you’ve wasted too much time. I really cant see Jay Z or Kanye as ‘enlightened masterminds’ of anything but their own wallets

Adele On 60 Minutes, Who Was That Broad?

She writes about the loves shes lost and is love now with some Brit entrepreneur with a big beard but when she spoke of him, she giggled, and it appeared sincere. That was actually endearing. I’d hang out with her. She curses,shes sarcastic and hold strong opinions. No wonder I like her iin nterview.

Love Kills, My Slayer Valentine

Come to think of it this is a lovely gift for the serial killer or sociopath on your list. The jar is reusable to either throw at your loved ones, break to cut up friends or to kept in tact to store your roaches.

Ozzys Boneyard, Babble from Beyond

“He’s gonna beat it. What it’s down to is determination, and believe me, this guy’s got more determination than anybody I’ve ever met. It’s gonna be fine. It’s just one of those trials in life that happen, you know. . .

Dexy's Midnight Runners, 27 Years Later

But is the world ready for more Dexy? I can say with much confidence the US is not. The populace does not have the ear for this sound and unfortunately there are far too many other options, the second coming of DMR will not even score them a hit song.

Television Light, February 13-19

You would think that there would be a network dedicated to providing fantastic visual music to the masses. You know.. maybe a network that had music 24 hours a day 7 days a week and offered up new things for us to learn and appreciate

The Clash's "Sandinista!" Revisited

I have listened to this album without thought so many times that I realize now I never actively listened. Have you heard “The Leader” lately? Holy hell stop reading and go get it right this minute. If the beat don’t grab you the story will.

Nicki Minaj, "Marilyn Monroe" Reviewed

The song “Marilyn Monroe” is a pathetic pop drone with weak lyrics, weak music and a weak un credited rapper with too strong a volume. Maybe shes just a great rapper and a horrible singer? That could be it.

Michael Jackson Glee, and Jesus Weeps

Forgive me if I am missing something but this is the most nauseating thing I have heard since Nickelback. In a world with so much to offer the lazy Dorito eating lumps are rocking out to kareoke tv? Its repulsive.

Killing Joke, MMXXII

Everything is speeding up. It’s not just our minds shrinking. We are heading towards the Eschaton and no-one really knows what’s going to happen.

The Maccabees – 'Feel To Follow' Reviewed

Perhaps we are all to buried in BONE EEVAIR (Bon Iver) and the horrible Black Keys to identify worthy music. Step in with the video for “Feel To Follow” an ultra Euro weird jaunt into floating imagery that suits the tune to a T

The Fall "Laptop Dog" Reviewed

It’s Iggy and Sid and Hell and swaggering swag and not ghetto swag. The constant drumbeat and repetitive music whipped me right back to the seedy side of town. What a retro sounding single from The Fall.

Salt and Peppa Spice Up McDonald's Bite

What the hell are they doing? Everyone knows (and anyone who doesn’t simply chooses to be ignorant) that McDonalds is a killing machine. Worthless ‘food’ filled with chemicals and death served up fast and friendly by workers who scratch their ass hair into the batter.

Steven Tyler Meant To Do That…

Apparently some redneck freaks thought he was being disrespectful. Anyone remember the repulsive Roseanne Barr crotch grab when she sang for the MLB? THAT was disrespectful and vile. Tyler was nothin’ in comparison.

What Would You Do For Music?

I have slept on concrete sidewalks to buy tickets (David Bowie), snuck in to a club via fire escape cuz I wasn’t 21 (Fear), stole money for club admittance from my parents, my siblings and once a neighbor. I have obtained a fake ID, not a hack one either…

The Cult and Flo Rida, Mash Up The Super Bowl

One game two teams and everyone has something to say about it. You’re either a football fan or your a Superbowl fan, the line blurs. Its really a day for non sport fans to eat wings and scream in the living room without the commitment of actually supporting a team.

Television Light: February 6-12

Die Antwoord is on Letterman, theyre freaky as hell and everyone spells it Die Antwood, which is amussing. But best of all? The freakin Fray- yup the white rice of rock and roll, there to sit like a lump in your brain. Mindless shotglass of bile..Id rather swallow a remote.

No Gary Glitter At The Super Bowl

Lets see he was first arrested for child porn in 1999, then the dumbass wasnt smart enough to keep it on paper and got busted in 2005 for “committing obscene acts with children”. He got some jail time for it- poofed off to Vietnam.

The Kaiser Chiefs "On The Run", Reviewed

They’re one of the bands I love but that simply don’t stick in my iPod. Very good but never great enough. This song could well change that. The vocals are gorgeous, and the music is a calliope of twenty million rhythms.

The Wonder Years Acoustic "Don't Let Me Cave In"

The Hopeless Records heroes have some of the most intricate melody and lovely vocals for a ‘post punk / hardcore’ band. I wouldn’t consider them any of those genre’s though. The Wonder Years are quite simply quality rock and roll. I love their thought provoking lyrics that are delivered a bit more intelligently than most bands.

The Fray "Scars + Stories" and Tour

For some reason these ‘drone’ bands gather up large masses of Walmart shoppers and get them plucked enough to get an applause and some hits. It could be a government plot- but no one is allowed to talk about it.
