Publicist Asks That Lana Del Rey Satire Be Removed From Blog

‘Of all the bad press that she’s gotten in the wake of her‘performance’ on Saturday Night Live, I think it’s amusing that she (or her publicist, or both) chose to attack my article. It was a clear piece of satire.Is the real Lana Del Rey like the ‘Lana Del Rey’ I wrote about in my article? I don’t know. Probably not.’

George Harrison? Yeah, There's An App For That…

The history of each guitar is shown with great intricacy; including the origin of the guitar, when and how it became part of Harrison’s collection, modifications he made to it and how each acheived a distinctive sound. Songs from his catalogue are organized by the guitars used on each track.

Paris Hilton Has LMFAO On New Album

the woman has only one talent, besides disgracing her family name, that is self promotion. And she has nothing whatsoever to do with music. Zero talent. That doesn’t mean LMFAO and Afrojack can’t fashion an excellent album for me.

great song no doubt, but man, all these years later it sounds like reprocessed cheese: the drums are tinny, the synth an irritant and no, Sir, it does not rock. Ripe for a remake. I recommend Swift kickstarts it.

Jay-Z and the B-word

Z gave up the use of the word ‘bitch’ because of the new addition to his family. I don’t remember where I read this first,but it was reported everywhere, even on TV, Jay-Z would have written a poem to prove his new resolution of dropping the bad word from his lyrics.
Well,it is not true

For those of you who were not totally convinced that Gaga lost her mind when she wore the meat dress, or the phone glued to her head- word comes now that she feels she has invented her own genre of music.

'The Iron Lady" Reviewed (More Or Less)

The Iron Lady” -a biography of former English Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, is terrible and it is terrible because it is rushed and it is rushed because half of the movie is spent in the present day with Thatcher haunted by her late husband Dennis.

I don’t remember it from “Shrek 4” at all -of course, the last of the series was such a dog, most of it has drifted out of my memory files. Lucy sang a lovely version of this Tuesday night and all I can add is, the recorded version of the pas de deuz is quite its equals.

Seasons at the Echo on Monday January 16th, 2012

As more people ended up in stage, petals were flying everywhere, the odor of the flowers was nicely filling the air and the public was catching up with the free spirit emanating from the music; people were jumping and bouncing as the sound was making more and more noisy swirls

The Lonely Wild at the Echo on Monday January 16th, 2012

On stage, there is alot going on, as one of the musician was juggling between synth, bass and trumpet, and all of them were at some point participating to the vocals. The female-male parts were delicate, abandoning the cinematic view for a little while, and approaching a hymn-like territory.

Lana Del Rey: Let The Video Games Begin

Perhaps you think she sucks, perhaps you hate her her. But don’t hate her because she hasn’t worked for it. I hate all that “Outliers” crap, spontaneity is as important as experience when it comes to ROCK AND ROLL. Just a willingness to stand up and scream at the top of your lungs

I was surprised to hear Bon Iver produced this, proving that everybody was born for a reason, and his was his spare beautiful work with Edwards, who finds the best use for punchline as a punchline since “B Movie”.

thought Album was better than Father, Son, Holy Ghost, but that wasn’t the problem. And, unlike the last time, neither was the pacing or the playing. The problem is Owens. he isn’t a rock star and he doesn’t know how to play one on stage.

D.R.U.G.S.​' New Song is Crazy

It’s a huge step up and is the best song that D.R.U.G.S. has ever released. For the first time, I am appalled and stunned by the perfection and how I can feel the effort they put into the song. I’m totally blown away.

Thomas Dolby Time Travel Tour

Dolby’s March through April road trip will feature an actual time capsule that looks like something HG Wells might have come up with if he had crossbred a time machine with a tear-duct travel trailer. The chrome and brass-plated vehicle seats three and features a high-tech video recording suite.

In Praise of Broken Headphones

In an world we forget how intricate music is because it is so properly balanced and delivered. I recall listening to Bowie’s, “Space Oddity” on an old Victrola, yup vinyl with a bad speaker so much that I only heard the countdown as the intro to the song. THAT was classic and very cool

Coachella Sells Out

I was on the phone with a friend of mine who was loudly bemoaning that his girlfriend and her friends had got tickets to cross the country and sweat and maybe die from the heat while watching rock bands from 50,000 miles away. I understand kids will be kids, but claiming you’ve seen a band after catching em at Coachella is like saying you’ve been to the moon after seeing it through a telescope.

King Krule At T5, Saturday, January 14th, 2012 Reviewed

Towards the end he plays “Out Getting Ribs”, recorded when he was 15 I guess, “I feel hate running through my blood girl, don’t you want me back?” An excellent song and the band clicks just as they have ben doing all night long. though they have some stage presence, they don’t have nearly enough.
