KISS Boots On Tour

Monster Mini Golf is pretty cool. Its indoor miniature golf by black light. I have been and its fun as hell and I am terrible at it but it doesn’t matter. The whole atmosphere is cool and strangely unnerving.

"Shake" Yin Yang Twins (ft Pitbull), Reviewed

The song shake “Shake” is a hot mess of thumps and bongo stuff peppered with some filth and a nice dash of Mr 305. This thing is six years old released in 2006, it never made it past the #41 spot on Billboard but what the hell do they know about music anyway?

MTV's Best of 2011

Katy Perry has earned the title of “Artist of the Year”, beating out Adele. If there were ever a more horrid competition I can’t think of one. Perry the Dpris Day of bubblegum optimism and Adele the Orson Welles of depression.

Holy Ship! Teese on The Seas

Deeta is gorgeous despite her coupling up with Marilyn Manson, she personifies thebeauty of decades ago. I find her simply perfect and it’s interesting that she’s on this ship of fools so to speak.

Christmas Music, The Great Equalizer

As hard as we or other ‘moderns’ try to update traditions it simply doesn’t work. Oh now I’m not saying there hasn’t been a winner of a Christmas song since 1962, but I am saying that the true bulk of holiday repetition is done by the masters.

Death Cab For Cutie on Jimmy Kimmel Live

Evident here is that there is no flashy showbiz. Just a band of gruffy guys sorta making music. No show. But musically its almost enlightening. Gibbards voice, which can at times be confusing and odd- has never sounded more confident.

Brokencyde – "Whoa!" Reviewed

The duck lipped girls doing the snake are so bland and bored that I wonder if the band slipped them all ruffies to get them to even get on camera. The cheap location the repetition of the mundane track and the lack of testosterone in the vocal make me wonder how these guys still have a label.

Phil Spector Appealing

Dennis Riordan, attorney for Spector, notes that Judge Larry Fidler became a witness for the prosecution by giving his opinion on an expert testimony. What? The act of giving opinion is subjective to begin with and is rather difficult to prove.

Scott Weiland At City Winery

The sold out show in NYC had Weiland fans lined up and chomping to see the performer in an intimate venue. A cheesey crooner act, in white jacket and shmarmy moves. Well that was the first set. Scott brought in his Christmas and from all reports the audience toughed it out.
