I have listened to this album without thought so many times that I realize now I never actively listened. Have you heard “The Leader” lately? Holy hell stop reading and go get it right this minute. If the beat don’t grab you the story will.
‘If you listen to the radio today, many of these brand new, so-called heavy metal music bands like Black Sabbath, Venom, The WASP and Iron Maiden use satanic imagery to corrupt the minds of young people’.
The lead singer is a skinny bloke with a naff ‘tache and a naffer attiutude who seems ready to derail at any moment. Spitting out spiteful lyrics while the band sound like a deranged Disturbed, and their anger isn’t just for we commoners who deem to listen up, but, “all corporate leeches”
Listen to this! Madonna is offended by a middle finger? It looks like she is rather pissed off because the attention was shifted from herself to M.I.A.,and so things didn’t turn exactly as she had planned.
I have to say that there is nothing spectacular about this. Its a twangy background sound with a cute little chorus. A forgettable song with forgettable lyrics.
The classic early silent movie is given a new soundtrack by the French techno duo Air. Meant to be pplayed simulatenously with a viewing of movie, in context it must be a thing of intence beauty,. Spacey, weighless, It builds efforlessly to the 18 second “Homme Lune” (Moon Man). Without the movie it is like reading Flaubert’s “Madame Bovery” with 10th Grade French. You get the gist but get lost in the nuance. Grade: B
The wittiest named band of all time takes a shot at the Scottish National anthem, which sounds pretty good with bagpipes on the second time round, but the song istself is like a dirge set to a see-saw, with the words changing emphasize every go round. No wonder the English beat em in 1755.
Our condolences to her friends and family. Whitney Houston was the voice of the 80’s and will be greatly missed.
I had lost his track a few years ago, but I remember really liking his song ‘The Rules’ that we were hearing quite a bit on the radio around 2004, with this line ‘I just want to belonnnnnng’ over some raw-youthful rock’ n’ roll which sounded so fresh and inspired
Palmer and her new accompaniment band Grand Theft Orchestra, take this classic song and showcase it in an instigram tinted video. Disturbing yet visually appealing.
If you recall a bit ago he was sketching nude Lady Gaga. I gotta say that creeped me out more than I let on. There are some visions that simply make me want to gouge my eyes out with soup ladles and this is sure one of them.
This isn’t proto Ramones, it is pro. Sure the melodies would get better, and sure Jooey would thing better, but otherwise, they didn’t change a bit for the next quarter of a century. The leather coats and jeans, the lounging, roaring, tight as fuck, loud fast lRamones are rolling through your brain cells.
The song “Marilyn Monroe” is a pathetic pop drone with weak lyrics, weak music and a weak un credited rapper with too strong a volume. Maybe shes just a great rapper and a horrible singer? That could be it.
Forgive me if I am missing something but this is the most nauseating thing I have heard since Nickelback. In a world with so much to offer the lazy Dorito eating lumps are rocking out to kareoke tv? Its repulsive.
‘The thing at the moment is Adele. She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice’.
Sarah Fridrich, leader of the duo, sings off-kilter, piano based pop, that aims, or claims to, for a populism, but finds itself in a weird world of its own
Barry has cancelled his upcoming stint at Radio City due to illness. I don’t know what’s the matter with him though he has rescheduled the dates for the end of April, early May.
Their masterpiece. Starts like the Who, then changes into a books on tape with a great backing back, before Pink Eye ramrods it and at the very end, a high pitched woman joines in. 15 minutes later you go home better for the experience.
Clinton is the master of ceremonies on seriously funked up shit. But he needs some better players behind him. Will I be back next time he is in town? Sure. But just for the funk of it.
Everything is speeding up. It’s not just our minds shrinking. We are heading towards the Eschaton and no-one really knows what’s going to happen.
The Russian girls believe revolution should be done by women because, as they told the Guardian, ‘For now, they don’t beat us or jail us as much. There’s a deep tradition in Russia of gender and revolution – we’ve had amazing women revolutionaries.’
The band was never about being cool, never about impressing the masses. I always admired them for this considering they seemed to be the rare few who weren’t singing about a bottle of Jack and getting lucky
I am pleased to inform you the tunelessness of my singing skipped two generations, as my Great-niece, 10 year old Miriam, proves with her lovely version of the very same song that I once magically missed every note with
Perhaps we are all to buried in BONE EEVAIR (Bon Iver) and the horrible Black Keys to identify worthy music. Step in with the video for “Feel To Follow” an ultra Euro weird jaunt into floating imagery that suits the tune to a T
It’s Iggy and Sid and Hell and swaggering swag and not ghetto swag. The constant drumbeat and repetitive music whipped me right back to the seedy side of town. What a retro sounding single from The Fall.
And please, I don’t want to see shirtless Adam Levine singing ‘God Only Knows What I’d Be Without You’, that would spoil the song forever.
Epic in intent, and epic in execution, the song goes through moods and sounds, vocalists and guitar parts, pianos and drums and it moves and moves and moves sometimes hash hardcore, sometimes, wall of sound prog rock, sometimes twee pop
McCartney follows Coldplay, The Black Keys, Tom Waits and Adele, artists who recently removed their last albums from streaming services. Don’t worry, you can still download McCartney’s albums through iTunes or Amazon, but the free listening is over!
Springsteen has hired two sax players, one being Clemons’ nephew Jake Clemons and the other Southside Johhny’s sax player Eddie “Kingfish” Marion. by the way, if your nickname is “Kingfish” you kinda haftta be cool.
Clarkson was crappy at Jingle Ball last December, and ever since then I’ve cooled to her. I liked, not loved, “Stronger” when it was first released. Now it sounds like another chick whining.
If Lana moved a lousy 70,000 units, what did Tim move? Or, more to the point, Cohen? The truth is, the death of the recording business has one up tick, semi-popular artists like Cohen, seem more popular than they actually are
Listening to Fred Hammond the past couple of days got me thinking about the dearth of greats soul songs. The difference between Wonder and even an 80s wonder like Babyface, or a legend like Hammond, isn’t content or sound, it is tune. The tunes aren’t strong enough.
a lesson in raw power but also a lesson in the beatific nature of hardcore: the jaggedness of English Oi mixed with the speed and textures of the initial hardcore movement
What the hell are they doing? Everyone knows (and anyone who doesn’t simply chooses to be ignorant) that McDonalds is a killing machine. Worthless ‘food’ filled with chemicals and death served up fast and friendly by workers who scratch their ass hair into the batter.
The Shins, I was saying, are offering ‘September’, the B-side to their previous single ‘Simple Song’ as a free stream on Vimeo
Reports now find that all works by Paul, including his work with Wings that were recorded under the Concord Music Group have been pulled from Spotify, Rhapsody, MOG, Rdio and other streaming services.
‘Those guys are great. They’re coming to my apartment on Monday and we’re going to talk about making a new record together.’
There is not a single redeeming factor about this song. Not a lyric, not one note he hits, not one instrumental beat. I can honestly say I’ve never heard a song that sucked THIS bad.
“Even ‘Kisses on the Butt’ would be better, could mean cigarette. Or heck, ‘kisses on the ass’, possibly a beloved pet donkey. But bottom? Nope.”
Why a solo tune? I’m worried. I don’t want ETF to end and I certainly hope they have no intention of taking Radke back once his little ‘Falling In Reverse’ bit comes crashing down.
Along with talking to and about reggae musicians, the program will feature plenty of music from the entire Marley family as well as Ziggy talking about music and culture. “It is my privilege to use this medium to honor the legends”
The last time I saw James Taylor, he was sharing the stage at Madison Square Garden with his namesake Taylor Swift… this time he will have the stage to himself.
“This claim is entirely without merit and our client has not engaged in any wrongful conduct. Ericka Lee consented to the use of her voice”
an attempt to market an upscale light beer, was my favorite musical moment of the night. It was simplicity itself. Just the bottle being manfactured to the sound of Kanye West’s iconic (already iconic!) notes that open “Runaway” building to repeated cries of “Lookatcha”.
Me, Patrick Stickles, Liz Phair, Lilly Allen, and some kid crying in this video are all big fans of the Lady Del Rey!!
This gives new jazz a good name: it seems to circle smooth jazz but with a faster set up and a longer fade out, maybe as if she has been listening to Erykah Badu A lot. Ps That’s a good thing.
she had a good voice, pleasantly filling the space, starting low and going high, with the fans surprisingly responding at each of her vocalization by some loud clamor. Along her set, she was balancing her head, grabbing the mic, touching her face, pushing her hair away, charming everyone with a certain man
If Hammond had dumped the wrap around and parsed it to 12 songs, he would have one of the albums of the year. As it stands, at the very least try a handful of these songs.
I do know he is legend. I do know that his fans are like idiotic rabid dogs with any smidgen of criticism so all of you just line up and hit the button to enjoy this iTune freebie.
Simply said musicians dont have insurance and no reliable income- so there is an organization that assists. MusiCares is that organization and each year it offers an award to one of their own who has supported their program.
