You might very well disagree and if you do you might want to go give some money to Bjork on Kickstarter To help her fund her music educational app for Android. I would tell you more but I am getting pretty confused myself. On a purely subjective level I’d give to Kickstarter if it would finance another album as great as Post.
Pissed Jeans have been at it since 2004 and so they have what time gives you: assurance and tightness. And they have something else, a follow up to the awesome King Of Jeans, Honey, coming up and a gig at the 550 SRO Bowery Ballroom on April 13th, 2013.
It is in the nature of life that an eye for an eye is an infinite progression. The only way to stop it is thru forgiveness and to hear of it being conducted by one people to another is very moving, very important. If anger is like drinking poison and expecting it to kill the other person, forgiveness is like feeding your enemy and finding yourself fully nourished.
“Mr. Owens said he was “very attracted to women” and didn’t seek out relationships with men, but they happened.”
Bringing the magical effects of the Disney movie classic would take a leap of imagination I don’t have and the Producers simply sidestepped on a consistent basis
Mazur gives some history, Felline, 8 ½ Weeks, you know the drill, than shows some car accidents, shows a Papparazzi’s case for the defense, builds up on the terror the celebrities go through in the big cities, Miami, Hollywood, New York, blames the tabs who buys em, gets into the history of gossip and bails out 90 minutes later, none the wiser
“I think at some time I kept pushing myself to a success or glory and it didn’t really exist. I just knew that it was over, I would never get any bIgger than this and… I am nearly 30, I am not sure I felt it was ALL RIGHT… I CAN LIVE WITH IT. But can I?”
Neither of the songs are all that but neither are disasters either. But were helped tremendously by a campaign of silence, the new meme: Say Nothing.
I like Dropkick Murphys fine but when I go to T5 on Wednesday March 13th (they are also playing the night before) it will be the first time I’ve seen em live and I am actually a little excited. T5 is a hell hole but I have a feeling these Irish Americans can fill the voice. I just wish it was six days later.
Beginning today, unsigned musicians are invited to enter the Play Crossroads contest for free at www.playcrossroads.com by completing a short informational profile and uploading one MP3.
“I am very sad to announce that Wilko has recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer of the pancreas. He has chosen not to receive any chemotherapy”
Shears should really know the difference between one and the other, as a very public homosexual surely he has a duty to be more foresighted and calm. Banks is having her record contract threatened because of this nonsense. It is an embarrassment and an insult to homosexuals to fiund hatred where it most certainly isn’t.
Because in Europe there is a “Use it or lose it law” that states if you own recorded music and haven’t released it within 50 years, you never will release it and so it becomes public property.
Look, I’ve got nothing against Lauryn Hill as such but one great solo album does not a career make and making an audience wait four hours to see you and then putting on a terrible show ain’t gonna make you money or fans. Pay your damn taxes, you’re married to a Marley, you can afford it.
My problem with City Winery is that it isn’t the Bottom Line,, which is hardly their fault, that dinner can get pricey, which is more like that fault, and I don’t like their no man’s land setting -which is entirely their fault
Bieber is looking for legislation to stop these guys from at least driving like maniacs. So far, the tough part is centering a piece of law based on a profession. I guess Bieber is thinking of something like the hate crimes law where the penalties are bigger for Paparazzi driving dangerously than for civilians but I doubt it will happen.
OK stick with me here, because this is kinda complicated and I am not sure I understand it myself but Youtube has removed two billion views from Universal and Sony videos.
There was no excuse for missing Beth Orton except I had tix for Jerry Seinfeld at the Beacon. He was OK but mean English girl (per Ryan Adams, no less) was promoting a terrific album That Sugaring Season, which I should have given more love to than I did.
Taylor is not in great voice -she sounded much better a coupla weeks earlier at MSG during her six song Jingle Ball Christmas wonder, but despite a ragged “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” and a pretty good (though I still think it is TS in a minor key) “I Knew You Were Trouble”, man does she look good.
I can’t see Justin having done anything very naughty at all. God knows, he is no worse (if no better) than the average teenager and the press should quit snipping. Remember the Rolling Stone interview where Bieber is enjoying a golf game till the Papapazzi sweep down and start snapping? You try growing up like that.
“The doctor says there are signs of Alzheimer’s. It’s not bad yet but will get worse. “How can I not remember songs I wrote? It’s frustrating. I don’t feel together yet
So now, without further ado, the show must go on… We can’t wait to get on the road and live out loud! Our passion has only grown stronger… Happy new year… We love you all… Rage and love XX BILLY JOE”
Over in the US X Factor, Simon Cowell is trying to spin additional magic. Uniting five solo girl singers for an all girl vocal group called Fifth Harmony. And, despite the dresses, this cover of Ellie Goulding’s excellent “Anything Could Happen” is pretty good.
‘I hate the word ‘experimenting’, but we are definitely experimenting ”In five words, it’s ‘majestic’, ‘imperial’, ‘out there’ and, er, what was the other one? Oh yeah, ‘heavy’. ‘It’s different to the first. It’s been heads down, none of that nonsense from the Nineties.
“All the people are like, ‘I don’t know what it is, but every time I hear the song, I just wanna do it. “That’s a terrible excuse, but go ‘head, get high, go ‘head. Blame Trinidad, blame it on me.”
“Thank god she had saddle shoes on that day because it added that “magic moment” feeling you get in the studio sometimes.”… I could have done without the “magic moment” stuff but there you go.
“He revealed that he had recently spoken to the band on the phone and that they had spoken of finishing recording the album in Paris.No official release date has been announced but Rolling Stone speculates it may be titled TPC, after new artwork was posted on the band’s website.”
Biggie was a chronic chronic abuser,he free styled in a studio stoned, recorded it and worked from there . How did he have no marijuana in his system? How did he go and party on the West Coast and not have one single drink?
From the 50s to the 90s he drove a power funk rhythm right through Jim Crow to Black Power and out the end and released some of the greatest dance music of all time. “Please Please Please”, “Sex Machine”, “Cold Sweat”, he ran roughshod over some of the greatest musicians of all time, and planted himself at the center of American pop to this day. Hip Hop owes Brown everything.
Art is fake. Rock is fake, the truest artist in the world is outrageously unreal, has nothing whatsoever to do with their own life. Life is too messy, too lonely, too inevitable: if you stare right into life it is so black you would suffer from nyctolopea, you would go blind.
The best music at inducing sleep is not, as you probably expected Coldplay (though they are at # 5) but the Mancunian Trio Marconi Union who were attempting to do precisely that.
Meet the Outernational of Indie rock, Desaparecidos. You might remember them from Alyson Camus’ rave over the summer, they are Conor’s agit prop, Mexican based post-hardcore hard rocking troop, around for 2001.
I am not saying every 18 year old needs to know what J.P. Morgan is, but surely a guy with all the riches of a Bieber, and all the money, and with banking still in crises mode shouldn’t be so damn. Bieber’s idea of an education is quoting Frank Ocean songs
Talk about a concept whose time has come. And indeed, I don’t see why there aren’t more. ANd, actually, there is a Lady gaga oarody out there somewhere. So how about Katy Perry Hearts Rihanna?
But here is a question pop pickers, what do you think will happen if the follow up is more of the same? It won’t be pretty.
Presented by the highly respected Robin Hood Foundation and produced by Harvey weinstein, this isn’t like the disastous Haiti benefits, this should get where it is going…
Now that her third remixed rematched attempt to resell Pink Friday, The Reup, has gone the way with all flesh, and despite it including six new wraps, the overextended NM is looking in her rear mirror
Controversy surrounds PSY losing to BIGBANG and while anesthetically they made the right move, PSY singlehandedly put K-Pop on the map and is obviously the only recognizable figure in the entire scene unless you live in Asia.
Last time I saw Nick Cave was in 2008 and he emphatically blew me away and so I am emphatically up for his March 28th and 29th, 2013 ggs at Beacon Theater. To call this a must see is an understatement, he is really that great in person. And we have the presale code and it is yours for the reading… so read……
“I love God… But at the same time, I love going to strip clubs. Sometimes I smoke marijuana. And I still love drinking alcohol and chilling. I don’t want to be judged for that…”
There is a new single “We No Who U R” dropping December 4th and again, not crazy about the name. Actually, there is something little off “We Real Cool” …. do I see a concept album in our future?
Shorter is playing a concert with the Orpheus Chamber Quartet at Carnegie Hall on February 1st . The man is a musical legend if only for his solo on Steely Dan’s “Aja”. If you are just starting off try the Blue Note The best of, which gives you the cream of his 1960s solo stuff.
Dubbed the Korean Taylor Swift for her soft sweet songs of romantic malaise, her My First June EP is just about flawless chick pop, all melody all the time. “Ready Go!” is already a pop song to beat in 2012
There is a reason why Lennon is bigger than the Beatles, bigger than anybody, why he is still adored and the compassion of songs like “Instant Karma”, “Give Peace A Chance” and the Universal good will of the statement. The great secret of live is either everything has a soul and is therefore good enough or nothing has a soul and is therefore good enough.
We went where no person has gone before, on to the Facebook page “Awkward Bands And Musicians” Pageso as you don’t have to. But if you choose to, just friend the good fellows on the hysterical Page. It is what Facebook, if not indeed rock nyc, was born for…
So on Wednesday all we Beliebers will be converging on MSG to see our boy bring it and how. Justin is a trooper and a good dancer and a lot of fun live. And while I still don’t like Believe all that much, I guess it is better than I gave it credit for.
Isn’t this a very sad story? Why would Anne sell the car if she didn’t need the money? And what can she do with a famous son? Nearly any action is a misstep, all she can do is watch in astonishment as her son explodes in fame and she is only 42 years old herself.
The problem with Ian is while his songs are great, they are too weird, and for every time he gets it write there is another song where he doesn’t quite pull it off. Strumming an acoustic guitar, Ian is a calming influence playing a sort of gentle country folk American
Sing The Delta is her first album in 8 years but it is 8 years that has found her reputation widen and deeper, in the Alt Country stakes I put nobody above her in 2012. Neither of the Earles, nor Rosanne nor Hiatt, not even John Prine. That voice has an ache that Lucinda WIlliams also has but Iris has better songs.
