Television Lite: February 20-26, 2012

Television this week seems lighter than usual, not sure why. I also find it an odd mix. Nick Jonas on Fallon and Joe on Conan? Whats up with that? Die Antword are on to scare the crap out of yuo and Hearltess Bastards is an awesome name for a band if not an entire gang.

Pick Concerts, Week Of February 20th, 2012

How great is Sinead O’Connor live? So great, I once saw Van Morrison have problems following her on Randall’s Island. She is so great, I once saw her play one homage to Jah after another at the Beacon and still kill. Sinead is at the Highline on Friday and is as close to a must see as is possible

Blur And Oasis: Peace In Our Time

First of all, he would have to bury the hatchet with Radiohead to even consider a collaboration, didn’t he call them ‘an odd bunch’ who ‘have been making the same record since ‘Kid A’ in a Rolling Stone interview last summer?

The thing with Davy is he is truly a song and dance man, coming from English Dancehall (and a horse jokey!), by the age of 16 he was on Broadway singing this song and vying for a Tony. That is one reason his live shows are so bizarre, the Monkees were the anomalies.

Iman and hel Do SNL: Sleigh Bells

See I love the chorus of this song but the actually verses are so squeaky its hard to tolerate. As for stage presence, well she tries. The others pretty much just bite their upper lip- which looks ridiculous but then again… I don’t think we’re supposed to like they way they look.

Rihanna's Special Guest, Chris Brown

Rihanna was probably already feeling guilty when she did not oppose the restraining order reduction last year, something typical of battered woman, and this was a bad sign. But she should be aware that this new move will not be taken well by the audience

Chris Cornell "I Will Always Love You", Reviewed

There isn’t a positive thing to say about it. It’s so bad its not even funny. I suggest you put down the bottle of Jack. Find some reality television show to permeate or hmmm how about actually recording some new Soundgarden instead of being an ego junkie?

Dave Grohl's Grammys speech

To me this award means a lot because it shows that the human element of music is what’s important. Singing into a microphone and learning toplay an instrument and learning to do your craft, that’s the most important thing for people to do.

Grohl Gets One Right?

there is something so needy about Grohl. He keeps bending over backwards to prove he’s a regular guy when he isn’t. And all his albums are nothing much. Including, Wasting Light, which I am listening to now

“I’m not impressed to be in that world. I’m in my own world. I think sometimes the fashion world isn’t even about clothes anymore; it’s about this “in” crowd, and I’m not into that,”

Monkeys touching Paul Wellers New Junk

‘There was an inference that I was going through a mid-life crises’ Paul says ‘Which I found really amusing: the clichéd notion of it. And that was the impetus for (the song) even though it isn’t really about that.

GARBAGE ALERT!

The art, well it is generic and nothing really noteworthy. What is noteworthy is that the band sounds fantastic and Manson is a Goddess. Think of how long six years is in the scheme of things. This could very well have been a flop- music can sound so dated and cliché’.

A weirdo blues guy releases a pretty good album and this is my pick of a letter. He sounds like a new Van Morrisson, singing between a flute -no, really, and stretching out a strong lick to the breaking point.

Blur For US Tour?

He already admitted earlier this year that he plans to take Blur on a US tour. It would certainly make sense, right? He already did the UK and Blur had one huge hit here (you can hear it at Sports Stadiums to this day: “Song 2”) and even if they didn’t were a big big cult band here
