I respectfully recommend some Seger healin’ for you, Ms. Bach, and maybe you will surprise yourself and will be hummin’ a song from 1962 next time you awaken to thunder (or maybe not) but take that chip off your shoulder for a little while and give a listen
Each of the bands are from the Midwest, thus the tour name. Each of the bands peaked 35 years ago..thus the sarcasm. Not a big fan of Mr Wango Tango, he went slightly mad with the whole hunting thing. OK OK it’s your hobby get on with it freak.
$500 for these guys to play? I tell you what I’m gonna do. I’m gonna pay em the bucks and have em serenade me in the office!!! They can be like Cyndi Lauper in the that Lotterry commercial. How cool would that be? Like a pocketsize Fleetwood Mac!!!!
honestly, a lot of ‘small’ local bands (Lady Danville, Shadow Shadow Shade, The Belle Brigade, The Fling, Vanaprasta and others) are too good to be only paid 500 bucks.
he had the entire room moving and grooving for his entire set. “Who is this guy? He rocks!!!” was a common phrase out of concert-goers mouths after his set.
The Gorillaz are a band I want to love. They invite Clash members, Andre 3000, James Murphy, hell all the cool folk. Yet everything they do- with anyone they do it….sounds exactly the same.
I would have been really anxious with this guy on the loose and his closet full of knives! Remember, John Lennon was killed by a stalker, John Hinckley shot president Ronald Reagan to impress Jodie Foster he was obsessing about, Michael Jackson had numerous stalkers who sent him hundreds of letters threatening to commit mass murders at his concerts
I’m excited to announce that www.rocknycliveandrecorded.com will be speaking with the band this Saturday February 25, when they open for Attack! Attack! in Danbury CT. Someone should really rename this the exclamation mark tour.
Why journalists aren’t confronting Mustaine with all this? Why do they let him think he can say anything he wants without even being challenged? And why do they ask him his opinion about things like these? Please, stick to the music!
M. Ward and Justin Vernon look as bland as a Republican candidate and a former hippie going to a job interview, and have all the animation of, er, something that is inanimate.
Crowe will be portraying Inspector Javert in the latest version of the Victor Hugo classic. Who cares, right? There has been a million adaptations of this thing- it’s as if we have all lived it already. This film has an somewhat interesting twist though- it’s music
My fave song of the year right this second, is the story of our fearless leader taking a girl to a party, going out to buy cigs from the deli, and seeing her on the balcony with another guy. Only it is better than it sounds.
From the first track alone, “Some Nights (Intro)”, you glimpse the amazingly warped, unique, and downright eclectic version of an alternative/indie band’s album. As lead singer Nate Ruess croons, a soft melody plays in the background…
‘I didn’t choose any of you because, as you know, each of you hates my gut!’ says Mercer in his post-mortem videotaped message.
This years nominees are enough to make you wonder if you woke last night to the sound of thunder…Bob Seger, Gordon Lightfoot and Jim Steinman
This is a special show’ said Derek Jordan on Tuesday night at the Roxy, ‘Because it is our first show…” The first time rock nyc has covered a first show since Holy Ghost!
“I was driving at the time and already really low on sleep,” “We were only five miles away from where we were staying and I was starting to get really drowsy, but since we were so close I wanted to just finish the drive.
‘Unfortunately greed once again rears its yapping head,’ says iconic frontman Lemmy Kilmister. ‘I would advise against it even for the most rabid completists!’
It may actually be too odd to really offend anyone, but this is some dark, funny twisted fantasy… Watch at your own risk, if you can pass the view at 0:12:
There was a period of time not so long ago when every time you read a music sight Brett was dying of something or other. Brain hemorrhage, diabetes, rickets, it
Without a doubt this is a much better fit than Paul Ridgers and the news that Lambert will be taking the Mercury role to lead the band this year at Knebworth is a thrilling one. Any chance of a tour?
her performance at Highline Ballroom starting today, the time seems ripe for a fave Sinead list. A little random, I admit, but enough well known songs. I am a big fan and have seen her on stage quite a few times but not in a long while.
Of the top 5 songs, 4 are anti-man and one was released in 1992. I don’t REALLY care except they are awful songs except for the one released in 1992. I hope Katy isn’t gonna go all Adele on us after her dreamboat turned out to be a footnote.
Two old timers chart, one deservedly. A death. And the rest is the Grammy’s afterglow. The Civil Wars are as much folk as country and one of the most tasteful albums from 2011. That was tasteful, not tasty
In anticipation of seeing her tomorrow, I went back to vintage Bjork. Better than the Sugarcubes. Better than her swan at the Oscars. Definitely better than the Bjork I’m gonna see tomorrow, this is a near perfect art-pop moment. She was great on stage as well.
Here you goMHOW = promise
Bowery Ballroom = Shadow
Is that legal? I mean if you’re a Brit and the Queen summons you, even if it’s a party, aren’t you supposed to go? “Too busy”? I think you can get hung or put in a dudgeon or something for things like that.
Adams is not allowing any pictures on this tour, not even for professional journalists, and his PR is actually encouraging reviewers to bring along a sketch artist! What? Like in a courtroom? Sorry but I was too far to have produced any good sketch of him, and that would have distracted me
good humor, smarky lyric and a sense of community will get over better than harangueing every time. And a song you wanna singalong to will enlist more people than a stomping snarl. Especially if the snarl sucks.
There was still a lot of mystery in their music quite difficult to describe, like a tangent and inexorable fear, not totally exposed but present nevertheless, moving like a martyr (hey, they have a song called Martyrium of the Hippolyt!) going to the scaffold with determination and pride.
Clinton? Baby boomer. You can’t imagine him quoting Jay-Z. And while it is true that Clinton could actually blow the sa, he never had the cool of Obama. Obama is a hip hop president. Nixon, Reagan, Senior? Dubya was a lonesome cowboy who never got much further along than Toby Keith.
With layered voices and sweet harmonies, their breezy and folkish tunes were actually more poppy than country or folk despite the use of a banjo and a tambourine on some songs
Coldplay was named Best British Group at The Brit Awards in the UK and gave an interview about the award following the ceremony. In this interview, some rather snarky comments arose.
Memphis dentist, Henry J. Weiss, was dentist to the King and has amassed a plethora of dental delights from his time inside Presleys mouth. Currently the molds of Elvis’ teeth and an actual crown are encased in glass in TN
Look, the Bech Boys are NOT Bon Jovi. When you paid a coupla grand to meet Bon Jovi, you got stuck with their roadie. I am assuming you will get Al Jardine at the very least! Plus, cmon, it’s the Beach Boys.
this is a remix of a song that hardly thrilled on the album and absolutely fails to shock here. Grade: B-
it is bereft of guest star turns and I am okay with that, though I am waiting for the day Tyler and Kanye colloborate, It should be mind bennding.
The video is an epic adventure that the basic Fight Club or World of Warcraft geek is going to find ‘awesome’ and ‘amazing’ but that anyone who can get in to an R rated movie without an adult will find a bit cliche’. Been there, done that, took the Advil.
The magic of the blues, certainly the magic of the blues the way Johnson played it, was its intimate timelessness. Johnson met the devil on the crossroad and then he went back to Chicago, and ever since then we’ve made that trip with him.
Really? We want to screw over George Clinton? To What end? Jigga and Jeezy owe him a fortune, why don’t the cheap bastards give him the 50K. This is infuriating. How can Clinton not raise a lousy 50K? After his music has been used for decades.
fight back against the mainstream of subversion, be always skeptical, catch your own self and have the integrity to stand up for it! But above everything, stay curious and angry people!
EPIX (EpixHD.com) will broadcast live the first ever Secret Policemans Ball from Radio City Music Hall on March 4th at 7pm. This is the first time this event has been held in the US
This season is disturbing. It contains Dee Snider, who even with a ponytails’ scares most people out of their wits. Yet similar to rocker Gene Simmons who appeared in a previous season, Snider is showing that there is a rather competent brain inside that fuzz.
I think I’m gonna go for MHOW. I know what you’re gonna say, but sightlines aren’t great at BB and if you arrive early enough and walk up a small flight of steps to the side, the sightlines are awesome at MWOH. Plus, yeah it is further away but
Brown resumed punching Robyn F. and she interlocked her fingers behind her head and brought her elbows forward to protect her face. She then bent over at the waist, placing her elbows and face near her lap in [an] attempt to protect her face and head from the barrage of punches being levied upon her by Brown.
Poses is one of the best albums since… ever. As gay albums go, it transcends its bent with ease and flies at you. Do you know it? Play “Greek Song” and listen for the violins and wait for the pay off, “When I get back I will read in Barnes And Nobles…”
Yup, that crazy King of Leon has just entered the magical third trimester with model wife Lily Alderidge. Considering this bands maniacal fans they’ll be knitting blankets from their own hair.
‘Working on the VCMG record, obviously I didn’t look at a guitar for that whole period because it just wasn’t right – so the moment I started getting back to writing songs for the band then I’m picking up the guitar, I’m going on the piano, working on chords, just working completely differently.’
At the end of the movie there is a picture of the real couple. Not only in the real couple much better looking than these Hollywood puppets, but they make sense of the entire movie as they smile with their two kids. You understand instinctively how the man won his wife back
the entire act was a series of distractions. When I saw David Cassidy at BB King’s he at least attempted to come to terms with his past, Davy completely ignored it. C’mon, he is one of the greatest stars of the 1960s. Why does he act as though he is a has been comic?
