what does it say about your respect for his work if you can tear up the pages and smoke everything? Anyway, the book is in fact a promotion for Snoop Dogg’s Kingsize Slim Rolling Papers created by San Francisco agency Pereira & O’Dell, and will probably be more a collector thing than anything else.
Does Taylor Momsen know Don McLean? Hard to say since she lives in such a bubble. But, she does a classic Mclean idea (can music save your moral soul?) proud on this hard rock ballad. Grade: B+
Jason took a moment and stepped into a monologue on calling a man named Jason “a mad man” and to get over himself, and only at the very end of this speech did he proclaim: “I am Jason.” They then tore into a hard thumping tune
there is no classic construction in the music, and everything looks possible,… fat swirls of sound giving birth to more grandiose electronic grooves, speedy accelerations and Doppler effects intertwined with familiar sounds of dogs barking, birds chirping or horse galloping.
It has a bad case of the shakes. It turns down the radio, turns up the window and drives from nyc to Memphis iand back n a mood of deep melancholy. Grade: A
Theraflu’ is the usual boring beat and flow dropping lots of fuck-bitch-nigger,… $2,000 pair of shoes,… and also this cheesy part:
The idea here is for gentlemen to aim their stream at specific strings, thus creating sound associated with that note. Once done and depending on the duration of the, ahem ‘performance’ the song can be downloaded and actually shared
The rocking song starts with a throbbing accordion, a lot of clapping-foot tapping, then these fierce trumpets and Miles Solay are announcing the revolt, with some mad dancing over Cumbia-inspired keys and in-your-face vocals: ‘The songs I sing, they can cast a spell/I don’t know no borders and I know them well/These rebels are microphones’
. ‘For the first two verses I’m complaining, but in the third verse, it’s tinged with envy as well,’ he says. ‘I’d like to be that age again and that silly, that excited about idiotic things. So I’m not being insensitive, just tired.’
So, Madonna steals the crown off Lionel Ritchie… just as we toldja she would back in Match. Poor, Lionel. His re-recording of his greatest hits with country stars may be a crime about nature, but it is a crime against nature that sold enough to be # , but Madonna swiped by bundling the album with concert tickets.
The return of the tweens! If you include Carly, that makes four spots. Ps: while a # 1 would’ve been nice, fun. Has a tight grip on the spots, and given the hard beats on the track, and given the competition, and given it is a single not album and therefore has legs, I believe congratulations are in order.
Three girls sing together with a high pitched siren out and the band enters like an indie punk outfit and exists like Sonic Youth. Shame this didn’t come awcross on stage. Grade: B+
It would be easy to get cynical with this outpouring of goodness spread on the audience by a band that dresses up like a gospel choir and wants to us to believe they all travel in a escaped-from-the-60s flower-power van. Haven’t we passed this since the cynical and grungy 90s?
The world today is so focused on the latest and greatest trend; this is just magnified in my generation by the changing times and the already limited attention span of the average teenager.
This band capture feelings in a net. Easily relatable and in proper form La Dispute oozes emotion in a darker sense. Dark but not depressing. The introverted art form of expressing thoughts with power and conviction and just a tiny bit of fear.
In our own lives, we are all John Lennon, and other people play the other three Beatles. In every romance, one is John and the other is Paul. In John’s life itself, he was John and Yoko was Paul. In Katy Perry’s marriage, she was John and Russel Brand was Paul.
I’ve been prevaricating between MDNA being borderline and very good. The remixes might throw me onto the very good side forever. Try the Facebook link, the album is $3.50 and you could find out before I do,
The deep soothing emotionalism is a variant on ambience, it lulls, but awakens at the same time. The Greek master plays piano, synth… i guess if it has a keyboard the man can play it.
do we really need to boost the sales of fast food restaurants in a country where obesity has never been so high? These fast food chains are the worst of the worst, they are terrible at every single level, at the health and ecological levels, and should totally disappear (I know!). Each bite of this thing is a step ahead on the path of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes
Fresh on the heels of this tragedy is the release of the trailer for the upcoming film “Sparkle” Sparkle is the story of three sisters who start a group and deal with the fame and drugs. It is based on the story of The Supremes. How sad.
Over here at rock nyc, we have an seasonal ritual whereby we sneer at the longwinded blowhards at pitchfork.com, and then add insult to injury by reposting their noteworthy releases.
Ultravox was an innovative moody and wonderfully decade appropriate band in the early 80’s, they have a new album due out that will try to replicate that vibe. Lets see how it flies in 2012. I’m hopeful!
But James is optimistic about the possible ‘reunion’, even declaring: ‘Yeah, hopefully, naturally. I don’t know, you’d have to wait and see. The will of God, nature’s support, I guess. So yeah, maybe.’
Is Madonna’s voice weak? Yeah, I guess, but it works good enough within the songs. Are the lyrics clumsy? Sure. Who thought being a multi-millionaire divorcee would be such a bore. Does it sink in the middle? Yes, it sinks in the middle.
The MLB Fan Cave is located in the former Tower Records Greenwich Village. Located at 692 Broadway, this mega space will be the scene of some pretty interesting concerts in celebration of the start of the 2012 Major League Baseball season
From its wall of sound drums, to its arch, troubled vocal, to its rewritten verse (“each morning I lie wake and find sunlight softly shining on her hair, And then I realize I’m wrong in thinking that she doesn’t really care…”), the single greatest Beach Boys cover ever.
I’ve never really enjoyed The Summer Set live as much as recorded, but it doesn’t mean that I still don’t like them. However this new tune definitely is tailored to Dales’ voice way more.
Minaj must be taken in moderation, If you listen to her too often you will go insane and if you are a white middle class adult you will simply snap and kill someone and we cant have that.
2. Odd Future at The Hammerstein on March 20th – Release part for Volum 2 became a two year retrospective and defined Act II in the continuing story of the Worlds Greatest Hip Hop posse.
Fiona Apple has just revealed on her Facebook page, the tracklist of her upcoming album, as well as the cover art, which is a little bit on the weird side
It’s sick and it’s fun, it’s meaningless and it’s terrifying, but if you are used to Lynch’s phantasmagoric cinematic universe, nothing there should really surprise you
Helen Bach watched Rev. Green preach once in Memphis. here is her review: “My friend chipped her tooth”. Yup, that’s all she’s got.
“Jackson filters the material through his own musical imagination while exploring an assortment of unexpected grooves and textures. The resulting album is a seamless fusion of sounds and styles”
So Keith Moon, the greatest rock and roll drummer of all time, was a very funny guy. I was good friends with this man who was a bell boy (bell man!) at the Excelsior Hotel in Manchester, and he crowned Moon the greatest rock and roll star of em all. And he would know. He claimed Moon was an uproariously funny guy
it is a fabolous room, it is the anti-T5: the gigs are in the round and so every single seat is killer.This year is pretty good as well (though not quite as good as long year). Oh, and notice Micky’s first area performance subsequent to Davy Jones death.
Florence’s voice is totally fitting the song – I mean she has some vocal chords, but I was not seen her in the country department and was totally wrong! Whereas she effortlessly pushes the high notes, without June Carter’s raucous tone and taking some liberties with the original, Homme’s voice, although less spectacular, is complementing her quite nicely
The magazine has also opened up conversations on otherwise hush-hush topics. For the 11th year the magazine will team up with Everyman, to raise awareness for prostate and testicular cancers.
It’s an odd mish mosh and not quite the same as the original: it is more like a roll call of eh? But why? Except… notice his three daughters will be on the cover and you see what is triggering all of these feelings.
Because dead or alive? I’m gonna do my damndest to get a tix to see the Scissor Sisters at Bowery Ballroom. I have never seen them live, and tthey are a great, undeniable, top of the pops, disco bands
Costello wraps his lips round every single word of Jagger’s devastating put down, managing to sneer and find extra venor venom on lines like “out of here without a doubt”. Devastating benius. Grade: A+
This song is lovely. I have to point out that vocally they do hit the Kings of Leon spectrum at points. This is your familiar happy bar band sound with a dab of beanie chic. How is that for a descriptive? See bands like this cannot stand out alone until they catch a massive break
Growing up in France, I have absolutely no shame to say that what I remember about French music sucked big time! You are going to say you know a few French artists who don’t suck, but every time I talk about this with an American native, Serge Gainsbourg’s name comes up, but beside him, there is most of the time nobody else
1. The OF Tapes Vol 2 – If this is a long way from perfect, it is still the most important hip hop album since Goblin.
The solider who is hired will travel with the band from July, 14 through September 25, 2012, according to MSNBC. You dont have to have a carpentry background, but duties will include putting together stage sets, running effects during show and tear down. You know.. being a roadie.
Just listen, it’s a very catchy tune, which may remind you a little Bright Eyes – but I bet Iman is going to totally contradict me on this one!
Ivy Dye is currently recording a debut EP, which should be released this summer
2. Some Nights – fun. – A true original, it’s like they are covering a cover of a Glee cover and then throwing it away at starting from scratch. Or do I mean Smash?
I can see this being offered from a band that didn’t just come off an extended hiatus. We had ‘Dirty Little Secret’ and “Gives You Hell’. That’s it and a lead singer with a pretty boy face
“Unplugged” took our favorite bands and literally unplugged them, putting them in the round with no enhancement. Acoustic performances by those we never thought we would hear in such raw form. I would have to say Nirvana and Pearl Jams episodes are the most remembered to me.
Poor Kate! I sympathize, I understand being sick about a song, but it certainly does not help it was the worst song in the world! Honestly, would she say this if it was a song she likes/liked? Can you be that disgusted about a song you enjoy in the first place?
Could it be a new Dirty Projectors song? Look and listen, because here it is!
