I don’t Want You to Die’ is a sad and overly sentimental song which simply starts with a melancholic piano and Wayne Coyne‘s strange falsetto singing… the first lines of Lennon’s ‘Imagine’!!
Well get this they’re about to embark on a three date reunion tour. Can a tour be 3 dates? Heralding themselves as the kings of NYHC, they aren’t even playing New York City. What the hell is that about?
In association with the David Lynch Foundation, Amoeba had organized a party at Space 15 Twenty for the release of ‘Music That Changes The World’, a box set available on this special day and featuring 34 exclusive tracks by renowned artists.
Coachella is for Cubscouts who like camping and pretending its Woodstock and looking at tiny dots that make the bleachers at Metlife feel like the best seats in the house, while bands they would have been a million times better off seeing while they toured their town, lecture you about war and charity and deem to play from a mile away before leaving the 99% to their woes and getting fucked up with Rihanna and Thom Yorke in the VIP area.
From the twangy fresh faced love struck sexually neutral start, to the flower power hippie vegan, to the stoner hip chain smoker he was able to keep his mug in the news. A nice kid that we spoke to at Warped Tour but just a bit annoying.
According to Pitchfork which got it from Dragcity, on Saturday April 21, record stores were selling Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy condoms!
M&A’s new album the lead singer Dave Davison songs a lot like Dave Longstreth and the weird meetings of art beats and twinkling vibrations with catchy rock hooks puts the band somewhere in their own terrain.
Roy Orbison! That alone makes this week a good week for television. We do need to get through a week of Train, Daughtry and Vince Gill but heck we have been through much worse.
This is not the complete “Pearl” sessions -Janis last album and released just before her death, but it is the best we have and the minutiae of inflection and attack are more important here than elsewhere.
I don’t Mraz, but he is sure catchy enough that if one song clicks there will be no getting away from the damn thing. Same goes for Train. Otherwise, this is hanging steady and going nowhere… not bad, though. Not bad.
really wanted to hate Conor, he looks like Ed Sheeran’s KID BROTHER!!! But it is a really good song, that new beats hip hop plus boy band singer songwriter groove. Alsom, why the hell is “Ordinary People” on the UK charts. I have no clue
Only in 1978 UK, could the cruffy, poppy post-punk Rich Kids be considered a sell out. This is their greatest memoment, a flavorful burst of excitement and melody that charted well and though we were upset at the same, the keyboards on the middle 9 and the chanted, handclapped bridge, give it a contemporary feel even today – Grade: A
there is no real frontwoman as Carrie shared the stage with Mary Timony, battling her legs apart with roaring guitars, affronting her, in the middle of the stage several times during the show, in front of Janet Weiss’ tireless and powerful drumming
Great voice and for a bit he sorta resembled Brooke Shields in ‘his day’ he was able to cross over some amazing sounds. Such a fabulous voice that Culture Club were able to rise above the gender bending role.
When they appeared on stage, bathed in a warm gold light, sisters Klara and Johanna Söderberg on guitar and keyboard, seemed to come from another time with their long auburn hair, sparkling gypsy-folk dresses and cowboy boots
about the malfeasance of using the deads image and persona without their approval. If 2Pac had said: “when I am dead, make a hologram of me and singalong to it…” OK. Do it. If he hasn’t I think it is a terrible idea. The dead person, TPac, can’t control how he is being used, it is a scary, nasty thing. In my story, it is taken to an extreme.
Wasn’t Taylor Swift supposed to have a role in Les Miserables? She doesn’t have a real acting experience, as she just played a very short role in some stupid comedy called ‘Valentine’s day’…
If you can get over Kathleen Edwards dating castrato Justin Vernon for a moment, or that he produced her excellent 2012 album Voyageur, you might agree with me that as indie folkies go, Kathleen is the one to beat. That is, if she nails it on Saturday at Webster Hall.
I found it annoying the few times I have seen it with some of the most horrid stereotypes, yet for some reason it has a huge following. The season finale is fast approaching and the soundtrack is quite fitting
This is Train’s sixth album and I haven’t liked one song so far. Before I realized their new single “Drive By” was them, I didn’t HATE IT. I hate it now. Worse songs? “This’ll Be My Year” and “50 Ways To Say Goodbye”. Grade:C-
Rumor has it the Gordy boys are about done -they haven’t performed together this year. So this may well be the last chance to see them. Apparently they are arguing over money (of course)
Dizzy Spells – Wesley Wolfe – Wesley has a new seven inch and pne side of a Schooner album, and I’ll get to it. But this obscurity off some comipiliation abum is new to me and it proves again how Wesley nreaths music like living. Highlight: the synth on the break. Grade: A
I eagerly clicked the link and turned up the volume. I waited and waited for the hook, the thing that would make me fall in love, like every other MCS song. However, that moment never came.
Midge Ure, Billy Currie, Chris Cross and Warren Cann make up the 1980’s band Ultravox They haven’t done a darn thing in twenty eight years. But for some reason they decided to gather up and record once again.
The American Bandstand show was a thrill for me, but while what I remembered was Johnny not bothering to lipsynch but wandering around the audience, it is worth noting what a perfect host Dave Clark was. Johnny was used to the likes of Bill Grundy sassing him, Dave’s charming host, allowing his entire audience on stage for “Careering” as good a way to remember the man as any.
Imagine for one mioment that instead of buying tickets from Ticketmasterm they were stealing tickets from Ticketmaster. TM would close down shop until they found a solution. The truth is, what does TM? Indeed, they have their own broker company Ticketsnow.
‘Hopefully, different artists are able to bring out their favorite artists. Hopefully, we can see Jimi Hendrix and Marvin Gaye. Let’s see what happens.’
There is nothing more annoying that a faked out British accent, well nothing unless you try to mimic a Beatle. This is the most garage band version of a song I have heard in a great while. This is almost an atrocity
The band is currently trying to raise money to be able to finish recording their first full length album, and it is difficult to resist to the quirky video for their song ‘Welcome Home’ posted on their fundraising page.
These two needed Coachella to interact, but it’s difficult to know whether he was kidding or being serious! He would have to work very hard on his electro-dance-pop to give some kind of substance to a Katy Perry album, but may be she actually would use a little less auto-tune?
a nightmare deal that got the previous management of Live Nation booted and for damn good reason. As rock nyc wrote over a month ago. Madonna bundled the new album with ticket sales (built into the price of the ticket, hahahahaaaaaaa)
‘I always get injured but I never get an injury where I can’t get back on the board,’ he said at the time. ‘Remember we had the nine stitches? That didn’t mean we couldn’t skate the next day, so we skated the next day.’
A Woman Left Lonely – Janis Joplin – When it came to recording Pearl, Janis was attempting to go back to the way she sang at the begining. On stuff life the verses in “Bobby McGee” and the verses here, which for all their immesaurable power, are relatively subdued. Grade: A
Ok calm down, I am already seeing you screaming at the screen of your computer, yelling bullshit,…. But it is what it is, a study based on last.fm… The problem is that I hardly use last.fm, tons of people do, but many don’t
Iman and I were sad it would never return. Well now, looks like there has been a change of heart. The UK Daily Star revealed that James Buckley (who plays the role of Jay Cartwright) let the cat out of the bag. The boys will return and either be at college or with job.
Vocalist Franky Perez (Scars on Broadway), guitarists Dave Kushner and Dave Warren, bassist Scott Shriner (Weezer) and drummer Joey Castillo (Queens of the Stone Age), making PusherJones a good candidate for the term ‘supergroup’.
An oddly anonymous coffee table book which includes an excellent introduction by one Jimmy Page as well comments by the likes of Pete Townsend and many others.
Jackson Browne, Patti Smith, Deborah Harry, Willie Nelson, Michael Moore (ha! Covering Dylan!) UNKLE, Mogwai, Ladytron, Joan Baez & Steve Earle, Ani DiFranco, Thievery Corporation, Thee Oh Sees, Tom Morello as well as many emerging artists.
Mental disorders are no less serious than physical disorders, in fact, they can be interchangeable as pop star Demi Lovato bravely battled an eating disorder and self harming finally seeking help in 2010. The best part about this stint in rehab is she has not dwelled on it or used it as a soapbox, she shoots from the hip spreading positifvity and has become a role model to many.
This is a UK only tour which sucks, right? I think they’d have to replace Smokie, maybe Gilbert O’Sullivan, but I see no reason why this couldn’t fill 3000 seat arenas here.
With the exception of “Hairspray” has sucked from one end of the long white way to the other. Here is what is coming out: read e, and weep. The grades are for the movie not the musical
Run to your local record shop and support their efforts- if you can find one cuz I certainly cannot. Luckily this tune is also digital cuz if it was only on that vinyl well none of us would have heard it yet, right?
to want Rihanna to be a good girl is beyond ridiculous. When I was her age I was fucking insane and I had no money either.If I had what she had,, I’d have done what she does
Three tween hearthrobs in the heart of the list. Gotyea quit hit wonder -I think so but then I thought the Surthymics were one hot wonders. A new Nicki, Kelly and Katy still hanging around… and Rida. Which leaves a Canadian American Idol.
Wow, Lionel Richie, well done: see, Madonna, you can’t go around BUYING the # 1 spot, eventually people catch on. Congrats to Monica, it is a terrfic album and deserves its success.
Old And Gray – Maps And Atlases – I haven’t really heard these art damaged English hipsters before, but they have a new album, this is the lead, and it is a big song. The sort of weirdly of-melody vocal you expect from Dorty Projectors, but even catchier. Grade: A
Levon Helm is gone at 71 years old.. the drummer of one of the greatest done too soon…
The solution is simple: tell ticketmaster they have six months to develop the software to stop this or their license to sell tickets will be revoked.
This song starts very simply. Then, in the way of the erratic metronome, simple beats give way to the electrified, dancing notes and synth waves of this song before returning to that same simple beat at the end.
people should educate themselves further on topics in order to get adequate information. I’ve known since 2006 about the armed conflict, and it’s taken half a decade to gain any attention
