Best Superbowl Commercials -Rock N Roll Style!

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”.

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.

Steven Tyler Meant To Do That…

Apparently some redneck freaks thought he was being disrespectful. Anyone remember the repulsive Roseanne Barr crotch grab when she sang for the MLB? THAT was disrespectful and vile. Tyler was nothin’ in comparison.

M.I.A. Flips The World The Bird

Pitchfork thinks she is an asshole! I will reprint their own words: ‘being an asshole is forever’. Really? America can now be upset for a middle finger? If this is all you have to do to outrage people these days, it ain’t much!

Paul McCartney's "Kisses On The Bottom" reviewed

look at Paul McCartney’s latest trip down memory lane this way: if anybody else hoad recorded Kisses On The Bottom, if Seth McFarlane, whose own take on the Great American songbook isn’t that much worse than this, had recorded it, the world would be laughing itself sick.

Jay-Z's Setlist, Carnegie Hall, February 6th!

Lessee, oooh look, “Roc Boys” -I love that song. and look at that double dose before the last song of the night, “Jigga What” and “Big Pimpin”… Not to cause trouble or anything, ain’t this an awful lot like his MTV Unplugged gig? Anyway, as Jay-Z continues to cement himself into the mainstream pop experience may I add a loud nolle prosequai, na poo, not me, no Sir, sod him?

Madonna To Play Yankee Stadium

Alyson writes about the upcoming madonna world tour. All well and good. But what she sadly, because she lives in Los Angeles, for her sins, failed to point out was that Madonna is playing Yankee Stadium September 6th, 2012.

Obviously, Doctor, you’ve never been a 13 year old girl”. I loved the novel, the movie not so much. It is the sort of story that lends itself to being imagined rather than seen. The Air soundtrack was terrific. Especially here with the very doctored voice of the male narrator, reading highlights from the book as Pink Floyd keyboards along with soaring chants playoff in the back ground.

What Would You Do For Music?

I have slept on concrete sidewalks to buy tickets (David Bowie), snuck in to a club via fire escape cuz I wasn’t 21 (Fear), stole money for club admittance from my parents, my siblings and once a neighbor. I have obtained a fake ID, not a hack one either…

Fanzines Live On In Hardcore Land

“Greatest City” is written by Deeb Runlea, who also runs Shit Hawk Records. From a what I did last summer, to an interview with Milk Music, to a a very very strange part straight up and part completely nasty re-writing of a Seinfeld episode by one Larry Lawless, this is the real deal.

Sneak Peaks Week Of February 6th, 2012

After you’ve listened to the first two, what is left? McCartney will be a bore and Van Halen will be a cobbled together piece of crap if “Tattoo” is “Tattoo” is anything to go by. No, the keeper here is gonna be Aior. I’ve been a fan since “The Virgin Suicides” and am looking forward to hearing the techno Kings again.

An energetic call to worldwide lethargy, which seems to define 20 somethings shrugging their way through a downsized life in industrial Allentown. The sort of place that sucks so bad, Billy Joel used it as a metaphor for blue collar workers.

Madonna's Half Time Super Bowl Show Reviewed

So with the world watching, Madonna enters the field to Vogue, as though she is three types of Cleopatra’s and proceeds to, well, vogue. The sound is loud and tinny, and, never a particularly melodic song, it is all dance moves and bass bottom. Who is playing? Sounds like DJs and backing tapes to me.

The Cult and Flo Rida, Mash Up The Super Bowl

One game two teams and everyone has something to say about it. You’re either a football fan or your a Superbowl fan, the line blurs. Its really a day for non sport fans to eat wings and scream in the living room without the commitment of actually supporting a team.

Television Light: February 6-12

Die Antwoord is on Letterman, theyre freaky as hell and everyone spells it Die Antwood, which is amussing. But best of all? The freakin Fray- yup the white rice of rock and roll, there to sit like a lump in your brain. Mindless shotglass of bile..Id rather swallow a remote.

UK Top Ten Albums, February 11th, 2012

The problem with Lana’s album is the great thing about Cohen’s: the production. It is so de rigeur. The beats are so received, so often heard, so similar and so kinda out of place. Whatever you wanna say about Cohen, it sounds exactly like itself
