Foster The People and their pumped up kicks will be touring some really large venues this spring and its surprising
Tickets for the tour go on sale today December 16th and guess what.. the opening bands are amazing
In a nearly speak sing tone Holmes takes on a really odd group of pop songs and tweaks them just enough to not sound like a lounge karaoke.
Dan O’Connor is still the Yukon Cornelius of hardcore a happy lumberjack with a great disposition. Alan looks like a typical blue collar worker, he needs only a lunch box made of metal.
More bands have been added including the AMAZING Chlesea Grin, Sleeping with Sirens and The Sliver Comet. Interesting fact, is that the dates are set for the tour- but the venues are not.
The lineup is unique to say the least- Robert Randolph, Kenny Wayne Sheppard, David Hidalgo and Caesar Rosas of Los Lobos? Keb’ Mo, Eric Johnson,Living Colour, Chris Layton and… Dweezil Zappa? An interesting group of performers to take on an enormous task of lending tribute to a rock and roll God.
Jilted ugly broad anthems. Something for the sniveling to sit around eating Doritos and watching Dr Phil to while sobbin over the guy that made a run for it.
“I walked in and said, ‘Well, Tony, here we are,’ and I dropped my robe and I got into position,” she recalled. “I felt shy and thought, ‘It’s Tony Bennett. Why am I naked?”
The invisible children are those in Africa who are abducted from their homes at young ages to be placed in the military. A brutal and common practice in some cultures
“I’m doing a really cool solo tour in January and February.I promise it rules. It’s almost a full US tour, which I haven’t done solo wise. It’s a pretty extensive solo tour though with four guys from other bands.”
Since being cool take more than temperature determinations I offer you the top 10 Christmas songs of all time (in no particular order of course… jumble them up
This kid actually cracks me up. First in what I presume to be a series of "Bedroom Tapes", is Chris Drew of Never Shout Nevers self love on an unmade
It’s on and on and huddled masses in Times Square and the dumb hats and well.. its just stupid. Those of you who have stood in those animal pens can attest to it- that aint fun its just cool to say you’ve done it
But if the MC’s own it- it could be the coolest thing in a long time. Maybe Kesha should have just gone to fetch sandwiches instead,or better yet maybe her only contribution is an occasional girl giggle or something.
I think I can safely say that we a compassionate lot, and regardless of our politics appreciate the kind treatment of our fellow creatures.
So this is a potpourri of weirdness and clicks filled with periodic nasal belows and the clomping of what i believe to be a coconut shell on a cookie sheet.
There are some humongous migraine inspiring bags of crap covers- churned out so the teens will drop a buck on iTunes for a ‘cool’ holiday song.
This week isn’t too bad. We have the untold story of Rick James which if done properly could be one freaky scene.
The rappers foundation has been in process since 2003 with a mission of helping individuals facing economic hardships further his or her education at institutions of higher learning
Mr Cent certainly appears prison yard buff- what type of regime he will mentor should be interesting, but bet theres no trip to the “Candy Shop”
“I think there’s a healing process waiting to take place. I think it’shappening now as we speak, but it has to be resolved,” Wood said, referring to Richards revealing details of Jagger’s anatomy in his biography
wacked out sorta hipster New York show that now takes on new turns as its ‘conceptualized and reworked’, this means it’ll be more risqué’ then the 1965 play or 1970’s film. The show is being recreated by Michael Mayer of “Spring Awakening” and “American Idiot” fame- need we say more?
They offer up this holiday gift. The typical office Christmas along with Stuart the puppet. I do hope the puppet becomes a regular in their videos, I like it. He had credibility
I am thrilled for Memphis May Fire and Bayside, not so thrilled about Motionless in White (why are they not on this list and who really cares?)
So many people consider any rockers death a drug overdose or a suicide. Here is the harsh reality- at age 34 you can die from a condition you may not even know existed.
Lets face it, it would be so cool for KISS to do a halftime show. The fire, the smoke the ‘Party Ev AH REE day”, it would be insane.
Seems that Yo Gabba Gabba must have a pretty hip scout or all of these bands are having kids and wanting to be on these shows (or both)
“For any silicone valley jerks who might try to bankrupt us, let’s put the upper limit at $300,000,” Butler wrote on the band’s website. “Have a great holiday!”
Everyone has covered this but no one enunciated it so well. Huge props. Musically, nice little rock bass going on. Angels may just cloud surf to this one.
For those of you unfamiliar with Cat Stevens or Yusef Islam, its time to school yourself. One of the most soothing voices and most graphical lyrcists of all time. Islam has faced some opposition and rough press upon his religious conversion. He had made some controversial statements
She wants to beat out U2 for the “highest grossing and most attended” tour … ever. Considering her cancelation schedule perhaps the most canceled date tour would work better? She has a target of 450 dates. It has never been done before, but she doesn’t think that’s a reason not to try it.”
Seems everyone wants some holiday action- but Sparks does this well. Traditional enough but with just a dash of unique…well a smidge.
The “Parents Television Council” flipped saying: “an act of desperation for a flailing network,” and slammed Stern as “a performer who is synonymous with shock, profanity and obscenity.”
a stereotypical jaunt as death haunts you and offers you forbidden fruit and the band is adorable in white suits and the song…the song is glorious. Beautiful lyrics, well excecuted and of course the amazing Dennis Lee, who prevents this band from becoming just another hard rock band.
Still very young and trapped in an over saturated genre’ its time The ‘Kids’ get proper representation and go score a name for themselves.
The tune really doesn’t wow me but its great to know the band is still together and functioning. I figure they used up all the cash from “Move Along’, which must have got a ton of attention since it was in the video game Rockband.
As a matter of fact lets all take a moment to pray to the Father that there isnt a wardrobe malfunctinon this year. We have seen it all and its rather disturbing and sinewy now… yick
“We will be streaming the entire EP at www.purevolume.com on Tuesday December 6th and then we will be releasing it a little later for free. Merry CHRISTMAS!!!”
Mr Roxy Music is in the ad campaign with his adorable son Tara. Leave it to some fine genetics to make a $9.99 dress shirt and $29.99 jacket look ultra chic.
Sundance Film Festival will premiere a rockumentary so to speak titled “Shut Up and Play The Hits’, a chronicle of the day of and day after the final MSG performance. Where did that title come from?
Grunge is apparently ‘back’ and homogenized and the shirt is currently sold out online. No credit or mention of Nirvana is made in the shirts description
This week though we have the bonus of ‘Mr. She’s Havin’ My Baby’, Paul Anka. This guy was the smarmiest of love song singers.
What they did to sell their souls to Justin Beiber is a whole ‘nother bag of crap. But really when all is said and done- its pretty amusing that they ended up on a Macys float.
Now PiL, as well as a modified Sex Pistols have toured as of late. Actually its more like Johnny has stayed in the spot light as best as you can with no new material.
What do you do? “Make it your own’? Risky to say the least. You’ll get some tool purist saying, ‘how dare you’ or something similar.
“I want to return some of that love so I’ve decided to give my fans in Mexico a special night and perform my Femme Fatale show for free.”
Ace Frehley legendary KISS guitarist has fallen at his home (this is sorta where I would go on a Life Alert tangent) and broken his wrist.
We decided to go big with Coldplay – really big. So we came up with the idea of celebrating New Year’s Eve with a 90-minute special.
This just in.. Jesus will not be born this year. This in protest to the horrific news that Twisted Sister is playing live in honor of the holiday. New York
I now want (if not DEMAND) a stripped down tour. There is more personality and clarity in this video then their live performance that night.
I cant express to you how the sound of her yelping leaves bruises on my aura. I want to commit crimes, it sends me to rage. Not only is she an instant bad mood, shes a sniveling sapping cry baby who should be boxed.
