The Sword Wiltern Theater Friday, November 18th, 2011

The Austin-based quartet had indeed a bottomless collection of sharp strident guitar riffs, playing these furious and destructive songs, which were going from hard rock to metal and vice-versa,… and I was thinking about some other element at times, with a brighter side just to compensate the doom side of metal.

No One Should Ever Cover Mumford and Son

M&S are the epitome of pure calm and beautiful folk music. To hear a band with zero talent cover them puts me in an absolutely horrific mood. I can say that my day’s pretty much ruined now. What is wrong with the world? I just don’t even understand.

Springstee​n announcing a 2012 world tour

With Keith Richards claiming that he has hopes for a Rolling Stones tour in 2012 to mark their 50th anniversary (although Jagger seemed to rule out the idea), Radiohead having already announced dates for their upcoming tour, and Paul Simon planning a Graceland anniversary tour, 2012 will certainly be the year of all the heavy-weights!

Craig Finn, Solo Adventures

“But the title is obviously a nod and a wink and a lift to it. And I always loved that part, when they would say, “Clear eyes, full heart, can’t lose.” I thought that was really poetic, you know, for a high school football team. So I was just playing around with that

I Want To Be Loved By You – Sinead O’Connor – A straight up homage to the Marilyn Monroe version and what makes it somewhat bewildering is it is so out of the Sinead character at the time. It is similar to Andy Kaufman’s Elvis Presley imitation. Having said that, I believe I am alone in loving the album it arrived on.

pure pop for now people, one piece of glossy product after another: from electro pop to dubstep, a smash hit, a couple of maybes, a Jay-Z rap, and a very good acoustic number. It adds up to a field of top pop producers coming together to release a Christmas gift of an album

Any Old Iron – Peter Sellers – The best of Goons? Hard to say when the competion is Spike Milligan and Harry Secombe. The most famous? Absolutely. Here Sellers is playing low class/upper class to very amusing effect on a Brit Dance Hall perenial.

The remnants of British vaudeville in the early 1960s were represented by this sweet tempered pianist and expert one woman party. Mrs. Mills banged out British (and Yankee) favorite and everybody sang along -and she didn’t dilly dally on the way.

The Black Lips video for Raw Meat, Reviewed

‘Raw Meat’ is one of these poppy-sunny-surfy-catchy songs that fill their album, and Director Phil Pinto chose to turn down the brightness of the tune with a black and white movie, and the guys behaving more or less like some reincarnation of the Beastie Boys singing a Ramones-inspired tune.
