I would hope that all the schools on the tour are school’s that could really use the education about LGBTQ and that can take full advantage of everything the tour has to offer.

The film opens this Friday September 7th at a very limited number of theaters. VERY limited…as in 10. That’s all we get 10 theaters and a limited run.

Ocean wants to bring it up, don’t be so damn nebulous. He is either:
1) Gay 2) Bi 3) Straight. Cmon Frank, pick a number

By the way Bowie has nothing to do with this show as he pointed out on his Facebook page last week,:
“Contrary to recent reports, I am not a co-curator and did not participate in any decisions relating to the exhibition.”

Most Of My Heroes Still Don’t Appear On No Stamps – Public Enemy – Musically they are stuck in neutral, politically they are color biased, and Chucky Baby, you ain’t as smart as you think you are. “surveeeeey says” This creams all comers.

Look we all want to be as successful as our siblings. Totally normal, but in the entertainment industry its every dog for himself. If you have to use your sisters name to get a headline its best that you sort of just have a seat and maybe ask to be her assistant or something.

Put Your Hands Up – Matchbox 20 – Look, I can’t stomach this band either but I did like one song off Rob Thomas’ solo album, and except for the outro break, nicked off “Smooth”, I don’t dislike this: the chorus is catchy as all get out and when they keep it bright and sparkly and ride a lovely little synth lick, it does the job – Grade: B

I stumbled across Joe Strummers with “Mescaleros” one day while reading some website online. He’s still around? God I loved that guy. A strong influence in my life that made me realize that punk rock could be intellectual rock if it wanted to

Lets have a show about the stuff Jagger has done that sucks, shall we? Lets start with the God awful duet with David Bowie for ‘Dancing in The Streets’, the video below made me HATE Jagger and question my love of Bowie. WTF were these two on?

Salt N Peppa at Summerstage, were easily the best thing at the WBLS Fest, and there were a lot of great things there. They look hotter, act smarter, flow stronger, I loved them more than I did in their prime on August 12th, 2012. Plus? Peppa is hot.

Where the original had an almost menacing vibe, Branch twangs it up and does that silly fake accent with an almost country lilt. I have heard her sing other songs, this accent is not legit but I suppose Mick would turn his Brit to Southern at times as well.

Both Cat Power and Animal Collective sound very good on the first spin, and while this list seems a little on the shrimpy side, it is the first salvo in the Autumn wars. Still, I’ve got this odd feeling I am going to spend the next week streaming Dylan on ITunes.

Feelin’ Alright -Traffic -What Joe Cocker gave the song was muscle, sinews and sweat. It already had funk and swing, courtesy Stevie Winwood who wasn’t that far away from the Spencer Davis Group – Grade: A

Is this another gruesome tale of substance abuse, car wrecks, and brothels? Yes and it’s also the second installment of the essential songs of the 1920s.

This is fan video is priceless. Thank God for the cell phone video or we would never be able to share this. I have to take a moment to point out how funny the begining is when the recorder is jostled so much you’d think the guy was getting mobbed

I had never heard “All Night Longer” before last Friday night but now it’s constantly stuck in my head and I’ve got no qualms about it. My friends have even told me to stop singing “Tell the bartender make that motha fucka stroooonger” because I’m always singing the song’s fantastic hook.

The beginning of the song makes it seem like a really sweet song, with a romantic element and it almost appears like a love song until the chorus. “Go to hell”, the main message, is almost humourous in its delivery.

The Old Gray Hat – Jack Phillips – Astounding song, a 1920s style jazz genre number with melody and heart to spare that does double duty as a self-portrait.

September 24, Prince will participate in a fundraiser for Rebuild the Dream, Foundation According to advocate Van Jones “Rebuild The Dream brings ordinary people together to rebuild communities and work towards a brighter economic future”

Clint Eastwood – Gorillaz – If Eastwood does for the Republicans what he did for Damon Albarn, Obama is in serious trouble. But maybe this was just as much Deltron 3030, who were the best thing about “Rock The Bells” as the Rawhide Kid – Grade: A

Soon, the dust was high in the blue sky and the energy had reached some new heights on the positive vibe barometer. This is why I love this band, it is impossible to not feel happy when you listen to their bouncy beer-fueled songs

I have serious doubts about the setlist, Madonna is in her 50s, and I myself would appreciate a retrospective of her sparkling career when she takes the field at Yankee Stadium on Thursday. What I am gonna get is the newbie plus. Will it be enough? Worth finding out.

I bet Ora breaks big Stateside, Jigga will know what to do with the woman. Elbow are about as compleat contradistinction withRita, though not the surprise arrival Of Monsters And Men, and hey, give Alanis credit where due.

X Factor’s follow up to “Cannonball” is an overproduced blues burner with a highly highly annopying beat. Taylor is still hanging in there, but for how much longer? Maybe the video will get it a push back up to the top. Rita Ora is gonna crossover big time Stateside.

Nas Is Like – Nas – His undeniable classic of a song, beat everything leading towards and away because Nas suffers from anhedonia and everything he does denies its own job. Except this, which is tremendous fun – Grade: A

Even their rather poor acting in this silly video is more endearing than annoying. They’re not exactly glam rock but they’re beautiful and carry themselves well. They’re not straddling a mic stand, they’re doing their job and looking fabulous at the same time- sorta like me.
