Franz Ferdinand who haven’t released new material in four years, have ground to make up and surprisingly enough appear to have done just that but just about everything on this playlist is worth your time.
Jano lived up to the title of their debut release: ERTALE (The most continuously active/erupting volcano in Ethiopia-one of the hottest spots on earth) when they almost literally set S.O.B.’S on fire with their unique blend of traditional Ethiopian melodies and bone shaking,ass kicking rock and roll
Why did the guy bother to go to the show? Who the hell cares-he is there, he paid up and you have no right blowing your snot water down on anyone you has been piece of shit.
I don’t have enough words to explain how much I utterly despise Bruno Mars.
She portrayed Velma in the before its time by 20 years 1975 “Chicago” production, she was Aurora in another underestimated Kander and Ebb musical, “Kiss Of The Spiderwoman” . Ny god, she followed “West Side Story” with “Bye Bye Birdie” and a little later on followed “Sweet Charity” with “Irma La Douce”. She has won the Tony 9 times.
Music festivals may not be the best ways to see your favorite band, but they are another beast which transcends music itself, a sonic orgy with an ambiance that overwhelms you.
From what I’ve heard of this EP (EP? You mean he ain’t dropping an album?), well I am very impressed. The beats, Rick Rubin and Dr. Dre at work, are really alarmingly powerful. They sound heavy hevay heavy. The EP drops November 5th.
The band just came off Warped so its just a month of rest before this new tour begins.. go get um.. Amen.
I am not a huge Big Sean fan but still, he is probably the poppiest arrogant bastard this side of Fabolous and what I’ve heard has been pretty good
1 thru 7 were played at the VMAs on Sunday night and # 1 was a song I was least conceived of on Kweezy’s latest album, now revealed as another flat out masterpiece.
This isn’t the Grammys. It isn’t the state of the art, it is the state of modern pop music. A snapshot of the charts and the charts are in spectacular shape
I’m gonna go ahead and give the band some serious credit for being able to put on a good show, play their instruments in a technically sound and experienced way
I didn’t want to leave Thee Oh Sees, who were playing till 9:30 on the Miranda stage, to go to see TV on the Radio at 9:15 on the Carrie stage! Then I went back to the Miranda stage to see Black Flag at 9:55 and run again to the Carrie stage for Yeah Yeah Yeahs at 10:45!
This is a New York Centric flavored rockabilly, retro Americanaish country sound. She should have been playing at Lincoln Center, and she certainly does have the songs to do it. Many self penned.
I decided to stay and watch. Which was a good decision because now I know to never go and see them again..
Tall and dark, his chin up in the air, he was throwing scary sights at the crowd like a hunted/haunting beast and I wasn’t sure if he wanted to hurt all of us, hurt himself or if he was in deep suffering
The week belonged to Earl Sweatshirt, who singlehandedly released the best Odd Future album since Goblin and the most popular since Channel Orange. PS: Earl was on Channel Orange’s best track as well.
If I could buy your love, I’d truly try, my friend, And if I could pray, my prayer would never end, But if you want me to beg, I’ll fall down on my knees, Asking for you to come back, I’d be pleading for you to come back, Begging for you to come back to me
Can I take a moment of your valuable time to spew contempt on tedious and poorly written Supergroup (if a Snow Patrol and an REM not named Stipes constitutes the bastard) lame-o Tired Pony
Familiarity breeds indifference and this is weak gruel. Goulding is not the exception, Lady Gaga may be but I have docked her a notch for failing to turn on the world. And where is Katy???
Sean, Ellie, Klanarussell and Matt are all off the current UK charts, Paulie is part of my continuing rundown of the best selling songs in the past 55 years, George Jones is part of Spotify’s ongoing attempt to get his entire catalog in one place
Amy presents her faith like “Through The Looking Glass And What Alice Found There” . It is like when she found her relationship with God, the images softened and she walked through the glass to a different, more tender and gentle world.
Viewing his life as a terminal battle between sin and salvation, Jerry Lee’s fierce energy was permeated with darkness;h e was dragging his audience to hell and he wasn’t happy about it.He has spent almost a decade watching “Gunsmoke” reruns
Dear God in Heaven and All Dead Musicians. Please use your heavenly power to halt this atrocity. Never mind world peace and famine STOP THIS CLASH RESURRECTION… and I swear to God if there is a Joe hologram involved I will go insane.
So the guy uses a pirated synth to make his shitty song? Keep in mind that the legal version of the software called Sylenth costs €139 (about $186) and that Steve Aoki was recently ranked the tenth-richest DJ by Forbes, and earned about $14 million this past 12 months!!
AJ Maddah, a very powerful Australian concert promoter, slammed him on Twitter on Friday, claiming that the Nine Inch Nails frontman turned down the 2014 Soundwave music festival because he wanted to play to a more ‘sophisticated fanbase
Starting with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. Have you seen the cover of Rolling Stone? This is the fourth RS of in a row that I have had to flip over cuz the person on the cover repulsed me. Yep, shallow
Say Say Say – Paul McCartney And Michael Jackson – 1983 – This is not great disco but it isn’t as terrible as I remember it by any stretch of the imagination. The beat is disco 101 and much more than on “The Girl Is Mine”, it cuts the cute for vocal high medium interplay – C+
The antecedent here is Best Coasts wildly underrated The Only Place, another album where the L.A. sun soaks you into a quiet disturbed place. One more question: who on earth listens to either album for fun? ALBUM OF THE WEEK – A-
David Guetta? I’ve seen him twice. The first time opening for Black Eyed Peas and the other time at Jingle Ball. Both performances were great. And together they are the reason I am going to Electric Zoo’s EDM festival at Randall’s Island this Saturday
Three of these are a reflection of Friday’s Amy gig, and one of these is a reflection of Steve Crawford’s Jerry Lee Essential list elsewhere here
Shut it down is what should happen. And what people as brave as Laura Jane Grace and Steve Diamond will help to have happen. But it isn’t over yet, as the fate that befell Islan Nettles proves.
Really guys, its a comedy when it’s supposed to be dark. Well the filming is dark but the ghosty dance is a hoot.
the number of bands playing there is overwhelming, once again I will have to make choices will be made and probably will regret to have missed certain bands, it’s unavoidable
I guess what he decided to do, rather than pick up and check into rehab three, six months before. Instead he kept drinking and a cool $250K a week couldn’t straighten him out
Perez Hilton (the thin one not the fat blonde one) and Lady Gaga (the thin one not the fat blonde one) are duking it out over nothing
The next largest streamer on Random Access Memories was streamed 15 Million times aka $90,000. So now what? How high can the highest get to?
Meanwhile, Earl Sweatshirt has the second best hip hop album of the year after Kanye West. Or at least it feels that way from this far away and especially after Freddie Gibbs disappointing effort earlier this year.
Thomas Mars, the singer of the band is married to Sofia Coppola and she hates the Beatles!!! He said so in an interview and even revealed that John Lennon was her least favorite Beatle… this is just insane, what did she lost in translation exactly?
Yeah, it is weird, but I kinda like “Sway”. The rest of the album is nothing much but Blue October got that one right for a change. In the meantime, let’s get ready for the VMAs
Sure, Moz is sassy and smug, but when it comes down to it, he’s loving and caring, and has all of us in the Moz Army under his wing and in his thoughts. We love you too, Morrissey.
I have written a ton about their numerous financial adventures and for the first time I think I understand it- they’re marketing genius
What’s behind every illusion? Well, simply put, behind every illusion is an illusionist. An illusionist attempting to create something that will enable you, as an audience, to suspend your disbelief and accept the reality they’ve created
We notice at rock nyc just how rude and ignorant rock fans can be while hidden under the anonymity of the web. It is often quite ridiculous and it cuts across all ages and band favs. Whether EDM or hard rock, you nail em and they will come for you and then some.
Yeezus, I really love it. I think the sound of it is cool. I can’t endorse what he’s saying lyrically, but I will say that in terms of the role of the dangerous entertainer in 2013, nobody is beating him at that game
They think that pointing out that wanting to be a woman might include looking like one is transphobic. They might have said, as Stephanie mentioned, that some women are in transition, so it is a very very touchy subject.
‘I am nervous and excited at the possibility that we will be able to fully sequence John Lennon’s DNA, very soon I hope. With researchers working on ways to clone mammoths, the same technology certainly could make human cloning a reality’, he declared
Between the three, Americana goes from going nowhere, to going round and round, to going somewhere, while the music changes itself to a disco deadend.
If they cover old folk songs well then so what and if they are writing new songs in the style of old songs, what are the chane of them being any good?
