The only artists in the lineup I am really familiar with is the excellent Echo Park quintet NO, but this will be more bands to discover,… also I have heard good things about Superhumanoids

This fairly obvious concept was beyond the abilities of the people who are making the Big Boi starring, atrociously named “All By My Side” movie version of Jimi Hendrix’s last day without any songs written by Henrix. No “Crosstown traffic”, “No Purple Haze”, just the covers like “All Along the Watchtower”.

This was not simply Devoto’s band in 1977. Surem he was behind “ba dum ba dum” but Shelley owned that guitar riff and air lifted it to their first solo album. Grade: A+

Antonee First Class, the ‘Toaster’ adds a wonderful element. Not quite Wakelings straight man and not the flamboyance of former Beater Ranking Roger, I found him to be charismatic and ridiculously talented. I would have loved more movement from him but hey the stage was small.

a ranked equestrian and on the reserve list to compete for the US Summer Olympic, and at the top of this, is a Duke University student preparing a major in psychology. And as you can see, the boss’ daughter is also very cute

The second we walked into the local bar we were heckled by a toothless, long white haired, six foot two, one hundred ten pounds wet man whom clearly knew we didn’t belong. We shrugged it off until later he came over to us all at the pool table. Grabs hold of me and gets in real close to tell me that he is going to teach me a few things.

If there was a perfect way to get the buzz started about an upcoming album, I’d say releasing “Blow Me (One Last Kiss)” was it. This breakup song has that familiar “fuck you, we’re done” feel for which Pink has becomeso famous

If you ain’t got the do-re-mi boys, or even if you do, get to Summer Stage at 7pm on Sunday for a celebration by Arlo and his family for his father Woody Guthrie on the occasion of what would have been Woody’s 100th birthday. I used to go see Arlo with Pete Seeger when he’d play those Thanksgiving gigs and I expect some great things for his Dady’s birthday. And it’s free (but get there early!)

Brown gets better with every spin, and it could well be the best pop album of the year. It’s better than Maroon 5 and I love Maroon 5. Metacritic gave it a 40% approval rating and musicOHM.com gave it 0 stars. Reminds me of when “The E.N.D>” was released, rock nyc was the only place anywhere that raved from the get go.

This is about as conservative a top ten list as you will ever see in the UK, maybe because it’s the dog days of summer. Meanwhile, since I find myself, unfortunately I admit, on team Chris Brown, let me start taking bets that the newbie ends up a hit both sides of the Atlantic.

Off Hell’s excellent second album with his demons at bay, Hell delves deep and finds this axiomatic ode to wisdom and songcraft , and his nasal whine finds a state of grace hardly imaginable five years prior – Grade: A

You can now listen to ‘Let’s Boot and Rally’ via KCRW, and it’s actually a quite catchy tune, with a sort of Buzzcocks meets the Cramps meets the B-52’s feeling, and Iggy Pop’s creepy voice over some 76’s inspired beats

The arrogant has been posted the below rant on Facebook and to be honest with you at this point in his career he should be happy anyone wants anything from him. At age 49 with his Elvis black died hair he should be thanking God he is recognized.

hahaha yeah, ive know for a while, he told me a long time ago. it was just funny cause i was getting bashed as a homophobe or whatever and i kept saying dude how am i one? i have gay friends like what the fuck leave me alone

This guy is worst than a beaten woman who goes back to his aggressor, he is actually encouraging his daughter to do so. Brown was recently caught in a fight with Drake in a bar and several people were harmed, so we are not talking about someone who has matured a lot.

Now, I understand that there are times that a uterus gets occupied without prior planning but what I don’t ‘get’ is how you can let an entire band down on the cusp of what could potentially be the tour of a lifetime. C’mon their shelf life is brief and one slip up (yes pun intended) could have potentially screwed years of hard work

In the upcoming release “Just Tell Me That You Want”. As for those offering up the tribute.. well, not sure who chose the line up. Maybe there was a talent sale- maybe everyone was busy, but it seems sorta B list.

fter you get past Marina and Jimmy Cliff , Dirty Projectors and Nas, this is slim pickins indded. The dog days of summer are upon us, do we really want to spend the summer listening to Joss Stone covering soul songs?

The Floridians earliest album mixed the sublime with the political. But he has learnt his lesson over the years, and, as the Redfoo track proves, he is in it for the pop. No problem. Not a song here isn’t a blast in the right club. But none of it will last the summer – Grade: B

When people ask me about my music bucket list, I always forget to mention Solange Knowles. Among other things, she performed the greatest cover ever when she took on DP’s greatest song ever. Unfortunately, I lost it. But am happy to take on the original instead in perpetuity or at least till I see em Monday night at MHOW – Grade: A

“Flanagan was acting weird right before the incident… ‘I talked to him outside minutes before it happened and I knew something was going to go down. He was like a fucking lunatic outside… Next thing I know he’s in the VIP area stabbing people!'”

I am more excited to see Friends tonight than I was to see Roger Waters on Friday. To put it simply, Manifest is the indie album of the year

It was relatively boring; there was no hook or anything that made it unique. It’s pretty catchy though, and it’s a stereotypical summer song. It doesn’t stand out to me, but it would be good to put on a playlist for a party

‘Moonrise Kingdom’ is certainly another exclusive adventure inside Anderson’s colorful and fantasy universe, populated by his famously eccentric characters and especially two children Sam and Suzy, two ‘troubled’ children, who fall in love with each other

If any party refuse to support his release, he could remain in jail and have the bail money returned. Blythe has not been officially charged with any crime. Something is very very corrupt here.

1 prefer the tremendous lyrical Soprano when de Niese is singing Handel, even if that’s nitpicking., this Dowland piece from the mid-1500s is like a trip back to Shakespearean (though it is much earlier), wandering minstrels stuff. It makes you nostalgic for a past that happened 100s of years before you – Grade: A-.

Security mobilized in a hot minute and beat the shit out of him. It took no less than six beefy dudes to control the madness. Blood was everywhere, and bone protruded from his shin.

When Zedd is performing at Camp Bisco next week, “Spectrum” is sure to get everyone’s feet off the ground while thoroughly blowing their minds and I’ll be sure to have a front row spot.

WBC will picket the motley group Death Cab for Cutie and their pervert lead singer, Ben Gibbard – a major fag-enabler. He, too, is worthy of death like his dyke sister who is “married” to another woman

This is a streamlined re-telling of the Spidey myth. They tell the same story on Broadway as well. Nerd gets beaten by radioactive Spider, develops superpowers, doesn’t help somebody being robbed and the robber kills his beloved Uncle Ben. Blah blah blah, stops Superfoe and gets girl.

Farm Aid, although misdirected, at least makes and attempt to educate and entertain. The Farm Aid website even offers up some thought provoking information on genetically engineered food- please at least read that. Support your local farmers and better yet grow as much of your own food as you can

The women love him. For some reason there are more 40+ housewives who find the hair replacement rocker swoon worthy. To me he resembles a army duffel bag. Sorta wrinkly and worn. It is this ‘good looks’ factor that has brought the advertisers to his door in hopes that he will use that mug to sell their goods.

So these are our songs of summer and I am happy to see carly at the top because I am sick of it being Perry plus both Perry and Gotye’s songs are depressive stuff, while Carly is so damn catchy it has become part of the vernacular and frankly I love it.

Surprised that Linkin Park beat out Maroon 5? I’m not, but I will be shocked if they do next week. A popular rock band can hit the charts when the fanbase buy a new album, but what they can’t do is sustain it without hit singles.
