And so, Katy conquors Robin and Stephani and grabs the throne where she roars through her Sara Bareilles rip off . It’s a wonderful thing, isn’t it? The magical mayhem known as the US charts where patterns form and dissolve before your very eyes.

Young Adults And ODs

That doesn’t help the family of the dead babies but so what? Their problem is not my concern. There are too many people to cry for lost souls, you can’t live that way or you will never stop crying. Rather you have to be cold to individual grief and look at hard numbers.

Hear Ye: what rock nyc is listening to 9-5-13

The 15 seconds off the upcoming Arcade Fire will get your heart pumping, and the Nine Inch Nails remix is much more Todd than Trent and the better for it. Both Kurtis and Annie are reflections of the Jahn Xavier interview, Pet Shop Boys is a terrific disco

"One Direction: This Is Us" Reviewed

Absolutely, this is a fabricated version of the bands but what isn’t, did you want to see them in a different light? . At its best, it explains why 1D became so big, it is revealing in the ways of chemistry and kindness. 1D are a good band and they deserve their success.

That Was The Week Of August 26th, That Was

Story of the week was the Electric Zoo closed down a day early after two ODs related to Molly. The next step hasn’t happened yet but you don’t need to be a genius to know where it is going. I tried Ecstasy once in my youth and wasn’t thrilled

Sly Stone And His "All Albino Band"

Legends die hard and our romanticized images are tough to tarnish. C’mon y’all this is Sly Stone of Sly and The Family Stone- what the hell, if that isn’t a public service announcement to stay off the junk I dont know what is.

Singles Going Steady: New Album Reviews Week Of August 26th, 2013

The great Cam’ron’s former partner in crime returns with an old fashioned drugs and hustle epic. Part III it says here. It is that widescreen scarface shoot em up and dramatic stuff. Very old fashioned, very brutal not broody. Rapping is pretty great on stuff like “Kill Or Be Killed”. If I was 40 years younger, this would be my jam – ALBUM OF THE WEEK – B+

UK Top 10 Albums 9-7-13

Congrats to Avenged Sevenfold who have taken me by surprise though come to think of it, their album before this was the one that broke em. And congrats to Dylan, who 50 years on is still releasing hit albums

UK Top 10 Singles 9-7-13

This is a disappointing little chart, isn’t it. It is like there is a mammoth lull (if you see what I mean) and nothing has come along to fill it) and so we are left with Ellie and Lana, like it was 2011 all over again.

Here Ye: what rock nyc is listening to 9-2-13

Electric Zoo was not the first time somebody has died at a show I’ve been too. Somebody had a heart attack and died at a Patti Lupone show. It was near the start. “Let’s begin again”, she said. “He would have probably wanted it that way.” But TWO people…

Best Albums Through August 31st, 2013

Home – Rudimental – Honestly, you may have to see them live to dig them on record as much as I do, but once you do you will be mouth agape and in wonder that a dance band can be so much fun in the modern age. A terrific and fun set of songs.

Wayne Coyne Joins Moby for New Single

Moby, my vegan brother, is a pompous ass. With his turtle like face he preaches to his own benefit and babbles endlessly in monotone droll. That being said he cranked out a couple dandy jams and a junk load of garbage.

Bono And The Edge "Amiable Dunces"

Bono and The Edge come off as amiable dunces. They know nothing about musicals, so David Garfinkle, the show’s hapless producer, sends them a CD with 60 famous Broadway tunes. They find them dopey and maudlin”
