Silversun Pickups To Romney: Stop Using Our Song!
First of all, it seems that Republicans will never learn anything and will always try to use songs without the permission of artists and that’s absolutely unforgivable.

believe we have not seen the last of them. Posh is so thin no one would notice if she didn’t show up anyway. Perez Hilton (which is the dumbest pseudonym of all time) suggests a 1 week residency a Vegas hotel once every six months.
Greenwood, who had previously composed the disturbing soundtrack for Anderson’s Oscar winning film ‘There Will be Blood’, has this time written 11 original tracks, and six of them were performed by the London Contemporary Orchestra
See Johnny Depp came to Hollywood to be a rock star but that face ended up getting him a TV gig. The rest as they say, is history. Alice Cooper that ‘shock rocker’ of days gone by is still very much in the circuit.
When you alive in a moment it feels specific to the NOW, but in retrospect, it is part of a larger paradigm. And what is difficult to notice is how much we are in a period of transition. The biggest transition since recorded music becausethe end result could well be the death of the recorded music business. And then albums like NOW 43 will be completely extinct.
I love Flo Rida but I hate whistling unless it is John Lennon at the end of “Two Of Us”. Definitely, this is my worst fave hit by Flo Rida since… forever!
Landslide – Antony – With just an acoustic guitar to back him up, Antony steals the Fleetwood Mac tribute album from the likes of Marianne Faithful. It is not true that the song is such a great standard it is difficult to screw up. It is easy to screw up. Antony doesn’t come within a million miles. his deep, emotional croon is perfect for this song – Grade: A
“I feel like a lot of political bands don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about. There are some bands that are really really intelligent and can get their point across. Where the thing is with most bands, you don’t really have to be intelligent. You can be an awesome band and be fucking dumb as a wall,”
Last night was not about being into a ‘nostalgia rehashed mode’
As tribute to her father and a skip down memory lane Martins shows accentuate the positive and give insight to life as a Martin. Although it wasn’t a world of on liners and romance tunes it was an almost stereotypical Italian/American American dream
The verdict for the Pussy Riot trial will be stated on Friday August 17 @ 3pm Moscow Time (8am EST). ALSO: There will be a march and rally on Friday. Free Pussy Riot encourages any artists / activists to join Friday in solidarity with the three detained women, Maria Alekhina, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Ekaterina Samucevich of Pussy Riot.
It was totally logical for them to open for the band from Modesto, as Aaron Espinoza and Ariana Murray have also formed this Admiral Radley side project with Grandaddy’s own Jason Lytle, so to speak, we were between friends. And the public was sending the same vibe, with many ‘I love you’ and other forms of affection.
Morrissey has earned the right to be a prick, a knob and dare I say a flaming douche bag should he chose to behave as such. Mr. Powell has opted to portray himself as a slighted little boy with two sticks and no future. Who’s the knob?
So, stupid (but not bad) politics, same old same old lyric which fails to make its point about the Black population being hurt more than the majority. AND everything else various degrees of very good.
Fay Fife will be at Bowery Electric November 10th!!! And that is the embodiment of a must see. If the vids I’ve seen are anything to go by, expect a thrill a minute pop punk fast loud and gorgeously melodic rave up.
if you don’t have your dance card filled, this is a must must must see… Put it this way, from a Grade of MS1 being the lowest must see to M being the abslute kill if you have tom Regina is a M4…
I say this- thank GOD they chose to air the full Spice Girls Bentley Square dance and chop out Ray Davies. I mean this was the legends of British Pop right?
Too bad it’s gonna be in San Diego and not in Los Angeles! The Flaming Lips have finally announced a date for the musical version of ‘Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots’, which will run from November 6 to December 16 at La Jolla Playhouse.
Lead singer Damon Albarn is an excitable lad on stage and he is nearly jumping out of his skin here, and the audience is singing at the top of its lungs, but what do you and I care?
Sometimes, it is so user unfriendly, I figure they are doing it on purpose. God forbid you try and getsomeone to actually speak to you at Spotify. I dare you. I double dare you. They have THE WORST SERVICE ON THE PLANET WORST THEN THE GOVERNMENT. They have zero, none nada
La La La (Produced by Major Lazer) – Snoop Lion – I don’t know why Snoop didn’t dscover Reggae much earlier. Honestly, it is tailor made for his roll em up aesthetic. This doesn’t sound like the Dogg, he ain’t rapping and he has that ny the umbers dubby feel going on. But with a poppier feel to it. I mean, “la la la” right? Grade: B
You have to let the emotions coming from the music make up for the lack of understanding of this strange Nordic language. But music is a language by itself, isn’t it? So who cares about what they say…
Heres the truth- I tried. But watching a zillion people in idiotic track suits march into a collesium cell phones in hand was more than I could stomach. Biting medals, kissing medals, hopping on your team mates back… it was watching a party I wasnt invited too. I lost my patience.
There is a lightness of touch to the rocker, “He calls me up saying ‘I still love you'” Taylor says funning the guys needy response, before adding “I’m just, I’m like this is exhausting…” It is really hysterical.
Well cryptic messages and sudden disappearances will generally get some attention. Coleman claims no knowledge of the Facebook posting. So then that leads us to believe that he literally just disappeared from the tour? I think he is having a good time at our expense and I happen to find it fantastic.
rock nyc is Obama Boomers. The Prez was inaugurated in January 2009, we began posting in April 2009, so, yeah, he is the only President we’ve known. As the election season heats up, some opinion
I need to listen to this new album soon, but here are two of the new songs posted on soundcloud, the grinding-violin, slowly expanding, almost medieval-march-sounding ‘So Nice’ and the druggy-state of ‘Lupine Dominus’ with its infectious rhythm haunted by John Dywer’ falsetto.
The tricky issue becomes in the other two remaining Boys. They’re free to do as they please but with out MCA? Yauch really was the ‘face’ of the group. Interesting that there is a lawsuit with Monster Energy drinks going on as this information is released.
“a xylophone-dotted instrumental played by a half-dozen guitarists, but its almost post-rock surge and otherwise playful countenance make it feel less like a departure or deviation than a great if wordless Spider Bags tune”
Lupe sounds so much like Kanye with a conscious on “Lamborghini Angels”, it is like he took PE’s “Catch The Throne” seriously and wrote it for them himself. Lupe doesn’t get much poppier than this.
Three reels contain close-ups and clips from three different show during 1969 and 1970. The fourth reel contains unreleased footage from Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. The seller said in the description the fourth reel was Chandler’s prize possession because it was Hendrix’s ‘first appearance in a major film.’
Look, Blur, until you get your lazy butts to nyc who cares? Gorillaz greatest moment was at MSG, why not bring the other band over. And not at fucking Roseland. Rent out Radio City for 5 nights. Fuck Hyde Park, that’s how you say goodbye.
Because she witnessed so many strange and disturbing things at the time, we wanted to talk to her, and it may happen a little bit further during this week.
I am going to either the April or the May concert. I think maybe the May 4th (a Saturday concert), which is the performing of a new work, so you gotta think. The April 26th show is a Friday, so I could definitely live with that.
Ho Hey – The Lumineers – These are hard working kids who have been at it for more than five years and have just broken out with this album. If you can get past the lead singers voice, they are fairly original moods for moderns and here discover a very original hook – Grade: B
WBLS is the home of Old School, 1970s and 1980s and even 1990s charttoppers. Sunday afternoon, they wore their age with equal parts grace and fervor.
This E.P. is a free for fans til the next album for ‘The Vaccines Come Of Age’ in September. I mean this is thing is no way “Teenage Icon”. Which by the way I love. It is more an attempt to keep their name in the press cuz everyone is all a buzz with Brit pop now that the holy hell Olympics are in the can.
If ‘Needle in the Hay’ and ‘Alameda’ were alt-releases still close to the original songs, this new one is quite different from the version we all know, featured on ‘Either/Or’. I would even say that it is a totally different song, the music and the lyrics are totally reworked and the ‘new’ song (to us) has taken another direction around the traditional puppet show characters, the violent Punch beating his wife Judy.
So do you imagine Ryan, the guy who wants to cut social welfare, harm the poor and enrich the rich, screaming with Zack de la Rocha his despise for capitalist greed while using the elliptical machine at the gym? RAMT doesn’t only empower you to run faster, but they want you to participate into a social revolution, and Ryan has just declared he believes ‘our rights come from nature and God’!
I see no problem with legit porn so this to me holds not interest. But who has the dollars? Your basic average suburban mother. Disposable income and dreams of life outside the mundane make this Fifty Shades of marketing for their dollar.
The declaimer? “But I would kill to make you real” isn’t worth the wait: it isn’t really satisfying but Palmer isn’t that great a songwriter. She has other gifts, self promotion she is the tops at. But as a songwriter, she should be a cover artist
That’s the worst choice for a cover ever! That sing-along chorus, this indulgent guitar solo, I mean I am bias because I had never been able to stand the song, and the fact we have heard it 3 billion times doesn’t help.
The look saves them. Since 1975 these guys have been producing fabulous British Punk. Monkey Warren has the most contagious vocals and the best part about all this is you can understand the words. That was the glory of old punk- it wasn’t screaming or growling it was fast but comprehensive.
So lets get this straight, some dude was stretching. Johnny grabbed his leg with such old junkie fueled super power that said person is ‘shot for who knows how long’. What was Craig on? Bath salts?
Freedom is the freedom to abdicate responsibility for society. For a powerful black man to REFUSE to participate is really quite important. The great American secret is that it is such a great society that it gives people the power not to pay attention.
Even at face value, it is a romantic daydream for a post Great Depression world. It is not only hard for us to believe in their world, it was difficult for their audience themselves. It is a vicarious romantic thrill.
Both VV and NYP have terrible music sections. And the paper of record is not the paper of record when it comes to reviewing local concerts any more. On the web, Brooklynvegan do what they do, but really what they do is listings for indie bands. It is fine, and I love it, but it isn’t a recording of live local concerts.
Woke up this morning and picked up the Taylor Swift off Itunes, and then added Lupe, Rita and RHCP just because I couldn’t be bothered waiting till tomorrow to see if Spotify will have (no, they will have them, the question is WHEN). Beak is terrific.
I Love You More Than You’ll Ever Know – Kenny Latimore – Here the great r&b man brings down the hammer on a great blues soul conglom, he lets it build as hard as it can as keyboards swirl around him, and then throws in glissandros just to keep us honsest – Grade: A-
a blue collar worker who reads Chekhov, a punk rocker who worships Captain Beefheart, a rock star who mends wheelchairs, a workingclass hero pondering his significance in the greater scheme of things, a man who goes everywhere and the jerk who stays at home. And the man behind the best album of the year raising a family and singing Bread songs.
