“They’re soppin’ ‘n’ boppin’ ‘n’ moppin’ with Little Melvin and the Invaders” -that’s Bruce. “I have cursed, bled and sworn, jumped bail and landed up in jail. Life has often tried to stretch me but the rope always was slack.,” that’s Shane. And the moral of this story is lyric matters
18 songs. 13 off Red. One cover. That leaves 2 off Fearless and 2 off Speak Now. Set length is average for Swift, 18 songs this year, 17 on the Speak Now tour, 16 songs in 2009 so yeah, that’s as expected.
Part 3 of Jon Pennington’s ongoing analysis of the most influential 45s of the 1960s finds him smack dab in the middle of the British Invasion, with West Coast boy bands stealing equal parts Spectors Wall of Sound and Berry’s rock and roll in attempt to steal some of their thunder
So Bowie is going on tour? That was predictable since he has this new album ‘The Next Day’, but I am not talking about our Iman of course, but about Iman, Bowie’s wife! She (accidently?) told Grazia magazine:
He writes like a pissed off little girl who got grounded for bad behavior, you can almost see his little fists punching the air, just when he wanted to fight this paparazzi last week. His arguments are totally weak and nonsense
Lets zip to Perth Australia where Axl whips the wireless microphone into the crowd knocking out a guys teeth. Nice one! One Darren Wright took it in the chops and now, it’s time for the law teams to get their groove on.
Asked who she would like to play her husband, Linda Ramone added: “Of course everybody would want Johnny Depp to play him, because he’s cool and looks good
Even saying that I have a favorite song from Eyes Wide feels inaccurate considering the whole EP is really fantastic and doesn’t deserve to have favorites chosen from it. While I barely know anything about Boy, I still really love the music they left us with.
The Murphs kicked this hard at T5 and on reading up on the band I saw where they covered the Springsteen song on stage with the Boss a coupla years ago. I blew off Atoms for Peace (1am for a DJ set? I think I’ll pass) but I made up with Dr. John and Allen Toussaint at Town Hall tonight. Savages at Bowery Ballroom on Monday. The Who? I’ve reached Lifehouse in the Townshend memoir.
We don’t need another hip hop star gone and Weezy obviously needs help, either to fix the seizures or get off the codeine or both. This is a risky bloody business and the end results should be self-evident.
they were simply brilliant Wednesday night. A 90 minute plus extravaganza of Celtic vibes with two lead singers, all the muscle in the world and, after 17 years, complete control of their environment: they sing about drinking, Boston, revolution, Ireland, drinking and sports in Boston and drinking and girls and being irish and drinking
"Post Hardcore" band Enter Shikari has been one of my faves for years. Their intriguing politics and their ridiculous energy makes their live shows electric- they literally fly off the
The cosmetic industry is one of the cruelest of all as it does repeated testings that would make you puke up a lung- notice I said repeated. Decades of the same torturous tests with the same result- just so your lips will be the perfect shade of pink.
If I was Taylor the first thing I’d do is fire Paula Erickson for this terrible terrible excuse for spin. What was needed was an immediate and loud statement from Taylor
That is pre 21st century type numbers and given neither “Suit And tie” nor “Mirrors” are not all that hot, it is clear what people love is Justin Timberlake
an exclusive look behind the scene was posted on YouTube, showing hairy producer Rick Rubin (who looks like a bit of a guru according to Ozzy) discussing the album and banging his head… lying on a bed?
all she does is dissing her exes in her stupid videos and shallow songs! With her Disney princess look and her bubble gum universe, she is becoming a monster
Jon Pennington continues his 100 most influential songs of the 1960s, highlights include early Beatles and Dylan as well as instrumental bands like the Ventures. the Tornados, Dick Dale and Booker T and the M.G.s… instrumentally speaking!)
Austin might well be a great place to conduct business if you know who you are going to conduct business with but if you don’t, what do you do there but get ignored
Have you been following the Jon Pennington most influential songs off the 1960s here? It is superb and if you haven’t we’ve tagged it so get caught up. Coltrane’s “My Favorite Things” is there somewhere. The rest of the list are album tracks fromnew releases I, for the most part, don’t much like.
Flansburgh, who seems to be more disheveled and heavier each time I see him, mugs for crowd, jumps up and down in time with the music, and dramatically plucks out one note at a time while jerking his guitar at different angles. He’s the nerd rock Rick Nielsen.
The worst seems to be about Wallace himself, who will appear in spirit to offer his guidance to his kids and the musical guests! Wallace’s children will voice their characters and the show will feature original songs from guest stars, and will even re-imagine Wallace’s own songs.
I honestly respect his acknowledgement of ‘past prime’. So many artists will trudge themselves up on a stage a shell of their former greatness that for Seger to say 70 is the cap, is wonderful
Let me start this review by stating that Suzanne looks great, sounds great, acts well and the video for the title track is a soap opera music video and really really good
some of the songs on my list will be quite common (because their influence is unavoidable), while others are more obscure, yet they are influential for other reasons. For other songs, I can’t necessarily prove that they’re influential. They’re just so ahead of their time or stand so completely out of time that they must have been influential somehow, even if I can’t prove it
Of course, she has to keep up with her life style, even as a cripple, but this thing is beyond ridiculous. She can’t fill the Staples center anymore, so she is trying another desperate move to bring attention and revive her vanishing career.
A feel good musical journey through racism and stereotype. Keep in mind this cat ended up moere wealthy than you will ever be- simply by having $800 determination and a damn good ear.
Before you get too excited over Jimi Hendrix’s best showing on Billboard’s Hot 100 in 44 years, keep in mind that it sold 20,000 less copies than Valley Of Neptune did in 2010. Plus given the probable age of Jimi’s core audience, it is fair to say that streaming had little or nothing to do with it. Suggests to me, the higher placing has everything to do with less sales at the top in 2013.
Macklemore and Lewis are the Carly Rae Jepsen of 2013, no one has the slightest idea how they can possibly follow up “Thrift Shop” and so they probably won’t follow it up ever. And as for Baauer? He isn’t quite a one hit wonder, more like a phenom gone wild and never to be repeated, by him any way
I was discussing the Go Gos early years with a friend who knew em pretty well (went to school with Belinda) and thus i gave em a listen, plus Kathy Valentine just quit plus I am seconds away of getting a tix to see em at Roseland. I went to droplick Murphys yesterday. What else? # 6 to # 9, will probably be around a couple more days…
This loud, hard-charging bluesy jam jumps at your throat and eardrums from start to finish, blasting your mind open, as if it wanted to convince everyone that rock’ n’ roll is very well alive. ELLE had the exclusivity of the song, and drummer Leah Shapiro explained how the song came up
Sure, it’s a little on the random side, but what with SJo forming a GoGo’s like rock band and with news, gossip, music and shows being at a minimum, well, here you go folks: actors who decided all you need is a microphone and a a huge “Q Score” and you too can be a great musician.
Clearly something is up with the teen. He’s just a method of propaganda and a marketing tool, and he’s letting that get to him. Hopefully, if he is on drugs, he gets help. Justin Bieber should get a grip and take a break.
Joni once claimed she found it very rude to call somebody a “new” anything while the old one was still alive. Fair enough. But since 2011’s A Creature I Don’t Know, Laura has been following a path reminiscent.
The music has the usual fuzzy Wavves guitars and plenty of that Nathan Williams’ I-am-bored-with-life voice that can be really wearisome after a while. Despite a few louder episodes, the tune doesn’t venture very far from its start
Try as we may we can’t stop Scarlett from doing what she should be doing, acting in movies which feature her in skin tight superhero costumes and dating ridiculously handsome men just to rub our nose in the we take these truths to be self-evident impossibility of even an averagely gorgeous guy will never get within a million miles of her.
Does Adele actually have a most loved hits yet? I mean, she has released a total of two damn albums, she isn’t the Queen Mother. Indeed, the Queen Mother isn’t the Queen Mother any more.
Why didnt the security guard give the dude a boost? Why didnt Scott jump down? Why does the guy at the end of the video clip start singing “Dead and Bloated” when nothing happend?
It looks like just about what we thought, though we always hope for more of Dookie, and “JAR’ thrown in for good measure but, yuck “Oh love”. Please no. Still, you’ve got to have a plan got to do what’s right, right?
#1 – # 3 are all very very good, I really love Earl Sweatshirt ever since seeing him at Gramercy a coupla months ago. The Bowie is the best song on the album , definitely third tier Bowie (meaning pretty damn great) and along with Modern Hut’s “History”, Marling’s song may be the best single of the year.
It is very hard to write about the music you like the most, or to express what you feel about your favorite musician. We asked a few fans to write about what Elliott Smith mean to them and here are the results, combined with a few others found on the internet.
Instead the City Parks Foundation is providing an excellent opportunity for wouldbe sofware makers to use all their powers on a summerstage 2013 app
The band tried to reform a couple times and Peter Murphy has always incorporated Bauhaus into his solo sets, but the “Mr Moonlight Tour’ will be 100% Bauhaus material. Does this mean we get no live ‘Cuts You Up’?
we have always seen teenagers in tears, screaming and tearing their hair apart, Elvis, the Beatles and the Stones certainly triggered this kind of reactions, but this meanness, this plain awful behavior seem to be new. And it’s not that people are getting worst, I just blame the social media!
Rolling Stone announced it so it must be true…right? Billboard reported that the band will play “fewer than 20” arena dates in North America, with Australian promoter Paul Dainty and Virgin music promoting the tour.
Which is a long way round for us to share this picture of Bowie, wife and model Iman, and daughter 12 year old Alexi on our streets… just like real people and not like the aliens from outer space they so obviously are
There is nobody like Bono. Nobody. This is the funniest thing I’ve heard in my life. The putz is addressing the nation? What a rabid egotistical nitwit. What am I going to do without him or Chris Martin to mock? It won’t be easy. Who can replace them?
They are a hugely influential band whose Songs Of Faith and Devotion was the OK Computer of a different era and whenever “Mojo” has a poll and regardless of what the poll might be about, there is Depeche Mode at #43.
Sure, I get get it, a new David Bowie album… but then what? The Bon Jovi single was fabulous but it would hardly be the first time VJ have only written one good song on an album and the reviews have been deadly. What else? The Clapton song was lousy. Devandra is very very very boring. ANd I’ve had enough Mindless Behavior for one life time.
araabmusik track is off a new album I’ve just noticed and one of the best electronic sample seance I’ve heard all year, Blank Realm is from Brisbane but don’t hold that against em, this song is pretty magical lick on a loop, and “Senorita”? just in case you thinj I’m being being too hard on the Kkd (whoops, kid no more), here is a reminder of what he actually used to do
