Brilliant songs with great hook, fun and interesting stage presence- it was right there it was in her meaty palm. Instead she chose to become just another cliche’. A pathetic ‘star’ full of arm chair delegation. I loathe her.
Yes, Ringo is back. And no, I haven’t enjoyed any of his recorded work since the album “You’re Sixteen” was on but it is still Ringo so
The prolific English master Of Grime has one big problem: he lacks quality control. So despites being an eccellent rapper and a great rhymer, the songs here are all over the place. I count 3 great songs out of 22, and a lot of good ones. And quite a few terroble ones. Grade: B
As nasty a piece of misogyny as rock and roll ever manages, as he warns his woman to stop that “Yakkety yak” because he’s “holding a baseball bat” before he hits the road with Tonto. Makes you wonder exactly why he is in such a hurry to leave.
by the end you gotta think the band had nothing left to add to the proceedings. I dunno if Cloud Nothings will break pop but they sure will be big on the college circuit, where they love their angst with a lot of loud guitar and drums.
‘I made it clear I didn’t want a puff piece, a Paul Simon puff piece, and he didn’t want a Paul Simon puff piece. We established that we’re going to do an honest exploration of these issues
Horrors bring me great joy. They look like The Cramps via Edward Scissorhands and have an incredible cool sound. I’m not the only one to think this either.
Spotify have announced that 20% of all free subscribers have become paid subscribers and Facebook have been responsible for 7 million new paid subscribers.
… posed for photo shoots, hung out with models, worked with Grammy-nominated producers and rocked some of the top clubs in New York (places like the Mercury Lounge and the Highline Ballroom), opening for some of our favorite bands.’
“Beagles, indisputably, are highly intelligent sentient creatures, friends of Man for centuries. It is completely morally unjustifiable for these animals to be made to suffer in the name of science,
presenting an award with Jerry Hall, Mick Jagger’s ex, and she told me the[Rolling] Stones were looking for a bass player. I sent her a ton of merchandise that she asked for and said ‘Tell Mick I’m a great bassplayer.’ I never heard a word back.’
This seems like it was a pretty eventful day at their house. Domestic abuse is never cool- but even at minor celebrity status it pretty much makes you look like a tool.
Mary J. Blige twittered her disapproval at being snubbed by the Oscars for her “The Living Proof” song off “The Help” soundtrack. Well, the song sucks, one of her long jorneys into womanhood things, but it is a million times better than these two.
Photovoltaic – Jump Into The Gospel – This is about as glam rock as indie pop is gonna get, the lead singer prints his presence on it, and it is subtler than it first sounds, the keyboards emerging as a major player.
A tribute album for 50 years of Bob Dylan and 50 years of Amnesty International -the organization that fights for human rights throughout, is 76 songs,four CD worth of Dylan covers. And to put it bluntly, I am a little disappointed
In a total Justin Vernon’s ambiance, wearing wool/fur hats,the five guys of Miracles of Modern Science are sitting around a table lightened with candles, as they are singing a song mixing Bon Jovi’s ‘You Give Love A Bad Name’ lyrics with Bon Iver’s falsetto
I loved Belushi. He was fantastically funny and cool as hell. Hell, before Belushi who knew what an Armenian was? More than a comedian, he was always musically swayed. Wait, screw that the guy made cheeboigahs cool and was one badass Killer Bee.
These five friends travelling in a van, having the time of their lives is inspiring and compelling. It’s cool to see them all so close and pursuing their dream. As they explore the nation’s capitol, they crack jokes and are bonding.
On a Saturday, February 4th. Now? Wait, there’s more. $5 in advance, if you buy it on line it comes to $7.50. There’s more. Doors at 5p, first act 530p. And at one of my fave clubs in the city, Le Poisson Rouge.
But we do have the outstanding Devil Wears Prada, Asking Alexandria and As I Lay Dying. There we go with something worth hearing. There will be more additions of course, this is a multi stage ‘Festival’
can’t imagine that a ‘straight’ version of this ad wouldn’t pass. Our entire office (90% straight,for what it’s worth) was genuinely surprised by this one. Especially given their impassioned pleas last week about free speech and anti-Internet-censorship.’
Were they afraid to get sued by the UK band for using the cover artwork from their Unknown Pleasures album? Some blogs said it was not possible since the image (an illustration representing pulses from the first-discovered pulsar) was public domain.
It is almost like I’m pretending I know stuff I don’t. When all information is at your fingertips, every opinion you offer is corrupted by limitless amounts of other people’s ideas. It goes beyond borrowing, or being influenced, or even counter-uninfluenced, by other writers opinions, or even just an accumulation of information. It taints everything.
Stevie came along to the studio in LA and he listened to the track for about ten minutes and he totally got it. He just went to the mic and within 20 minutes had nailed this dynamite solo
U2 have had their fans vote on the tracks they want on a Live double album from last (two) years neverending 360 degrees.I
“Fire” is, debatably, Adele’s worst song to date: her typical mean spirited nonsense as she goes out of her way to make herself the woman most likely to be a billiuonaire and still not get a date. How can anybody write about love with so little affection: for Adele love is a synonyme for spite.
Women love Adele, it is, more or less, a sexually segegated success. Because I can’t see many men liking too much of this. It is a brutal, whining, disturbed aching, needy, piece of crap. PS, her first album, 19, is in at #15.
The pain here is so indelibly linked to Tammy’s tone that the words don’t REALLY matter, it would be clear the pain of a lost love is irreperable. I wouldn’t mind plunking Adele in front of this song, just to remind her love is not the same as complaining.
The great English singer Petula Clark has other ideas. Straight in from recording a new album with Charles Aznavour and looking diminutive but regal in a long black dress, the years flew away from her as Petula kept a sold out Feinstein’s. the first night of a two week stint, enthralled.
Their power-pop-rock songs, fueled by Sarah’s guitar and her electric presence, were producing a totally radio-friendly melodic rock with a light dash of punk attitude (may be like a Green Day female touch)
It’s fascinating to watch because parts of it are funny, but then there’s more serious parts that really captivate you and draw you in. It’s ridiculously well done and one of the best music videos I’ve seen in a while.
The video gives it some life, the scenery is sun-drenched 80s Florida with a lot of Alexis and her famous bangs, as she jumps on a bed in a red robe witha rifle or wears a black leather jacket,… sure she is sexy, but is that enough?
Jon Brion can bring all the delicate acoustic guitar she wants, strip down the song as much as he can (the guy can do miracle), I still find Perry’s bluesy and crying voice forced and annoying.
They consider themselves to be a rap crew/art project. Ahh, you can smell the hipster in the air! But I cant even pick on them too much cuz this thing creeped the bejeezuz out of me.
The closer we are to people the easier it is to hurt them and we must be very careful to treat them with kindness… or lose them. But there in lies another problem, if love isn’t sturdy how can it survive? So the thing that is bringing us the most pleasure is built upon fault line
From drugs and miscegenation to Presidential politics and celebrity power, James seemed to always find herself getting screwed: she is, despite the huge respect she is held in, a tragic figure
I don’t think Bruce thinks he is a hypocrite, he is one but he is too stupid to know it. He actually believes this nonsense has meaning, while it actually has no meaning, no position, no point of view, no villain.
Seems Brooks was under the impression that a woman’s health center would be named after his mother Colleen who died of cancer years ago.
I will be buying a tix for Kathleen Edwards at Webster Hall on April 28th. Tix go on sale Friday at noon. Incidentally, Florence + The Machine goes on sale on Friday at 9am… a busy day. Again. Pulp goes on sale the same day!
The marketing arm of the label gave money to the marketing arm of the ITunes and Spotify. And that is fine to me… or at least it would be, if the distributors were upfront about it.
“Brett personifies the independent spirit, inspiring countless punk and indie bands through his work in Bad Religion and helping many of them reach their full potential at Epitaph Records, including The Offspring, Rancid and NOFX…” What a poseur.
Miley is unbelievably beautiful on this song off Blood On The Tracks. She gets that it is country and not folk and she is not so young that she can’t grasp the sentiments. Miley takes it easy, undersings it a touch, and lets the melody play itself out.
‘Sounds like there’s children playing music there, retarded children, retarded as in held back. There’s no other word for it’.
Lines about “when Giants played the game” are beyond asinine. It isn’t even a pun or a metaphor, it is the equivalent of “Good evening, Cleveland”. So is the Meadowland reference. Listen to it on this live version. HE WAITS FOR THE APPLAUSE!!
The one minute video definitely says enough to get me really pumped for what they’re working on. It’s fun to watch because it lets us see their personalities. It shows off their silly side
They started rioting. (The promoters) locked us backstage in the green room until the cops could show up and clear it out. We couldn’t come out to see what was going on, but we heard everything. That was kind of surreal. … I think it was full-blown rioting outside
They spent last year playing festivals across the Pond and are finally reaching the States with a Coachella gig. But before that they get to nyc where they have a night booked.
their frontman has such an inflated ego that hehas basically spoiled everything for me. However, if we can pass on Anton Newcombe’s tempestuous character and plain insanity at times, and the factthat he basically has fired his band line-up every year, you still may be interested by the band’s psychedelic-shoegazing rock sound
It was some blogger with an agenda calling it a ‘social experiment’ Silly. This is one of the ways Bloggers get a bad rap- some should just be stopped. There is a huge difference between creative writing and impersonation and if I were Glitter I’d be pissed.
‘Inspired by the iconic sleeve of Joy Division’s ‘Unknown Pleasures’ album, this Waves Mickey MouseTee incorporates Mickey’s image within the graphic of the pulse of a star.
