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.
‘Whitney’s fortune is gone,’ the source told the site. ‘Music industry heavy hitters are supporting her and her label is fronting her cash against her next album, but no one knows when that will be released.”
Watching the Joan rRvers and Steve Tylers of the world is just sad. They look terrible. They look plastic. Tyler actually sounded great but he looked awful. Why not grow old gracefully? What would it cost him? He certainly couldn’t look any worse.
There hasn’t been new Garbage since 2005, this is fantastic and its really happening! The new album will be released on their new indie label STUNVOLUME. This means nothing to me just hurry and let me hear it!
Two years after Mary Magpie reviewed every single episode of the 2010 season of American Idol, we didn’t mention its premiere in 2012. And this indifference is reflective of a society that is becoming swiftly satiated in its thirst for reality and variety show.
Check out the President nailing a couple of lines off the Reverend Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” and doing so with such an infectious smile. This was at a Fundraiser at the Apollo Theater last Thursday
Desolation – Lamb Of God – Harder then their last album, the fans claim. But what does that mean? The most ferocious band in the business nail it again, that’s what that means
Kevin has written that the D.R.mix casette is one of his three fave releases of all time, though there are no slouches here. From Reighnbeau’s flutterring folkie beauty to Gentle Claw’s quiet ambience, all his new releases are excellent.
Wearing dark glasses or wool hats, the band played a tight and loud arena-rock-style set, while occupying the stage with a total rock’n’roll attitude, directly communicating with their public
There are multiple pre-order bundles. The first is just the album, for $10. $16 will get you a tee and the album. There are many more, but as the prices go up, the bundles get better
What about all the videos and pictures people upload on line? How many of them trespass copyright? I bet a lot.
I am a futurist in all things but in music more than in anything else. I am sorry I am gonna die in ten or fifty years because of all the great music I’m gonna miss by not being here.
extremely well, like a real clean and powerful E Street Band, performed. A streamlined condemnation, the back up singers sound like doo wop and Bruce… Bruce is a touch too emotional but he isn’t the worst thing I’ve ever heard.
“Some of the older people of our generation will be able to tell their kids, ‘You’re staying home tonight, we’re going to see 2 Live Crew and shake our booty!’“
What can I say, so much has been said already about The Kings of Leon’s douchebagery, …
I’m over the moon! I really couldn’t have hoped for a better start to 2012.”
