Underwood will be 30 years old by the time filming starts. She climbs a tree and scrapes her knee??? Underwood???? At it’s not just age, I once saw her OPEN for Keith Urban and she changed costumes six times in half an hour. She is a mega-rock star egomaniac without an ounce of innocence left in her.
The rest of the dudes just wanna chill. Maybe Tom is just an ass to tour with. I can see that in him… like seriously cork it and have a beer.
“Kill those fucking Yankees who ordered them to torture
Kill their daughters, mothers, daughters-in-law, and fathers”
Well, if you’ve stopped throwing up in your mouth, any bets to just how badly this is gonna suck? Anyone at all? Paramore are the Cranberries of power pop, they aren’t bad human beings, they are just bad songwriters.
I am so confused, he now declared he wasn’t questioning her authenticity but he nevertheless used the term ‘artifice’? Because everyone knows that Jack White never used anything close to ‘an image’ to promote his music! And there is always a deep meaning behind each one of his eccentric costumes, we know that.
Expect a 2013 solo tour from one Jimmy Page, a guitarist. Due to Robert Plant’s intransigence, the opportunity for Led Zeppelin to reform came and went with just a lousy live album and video to show for the efforts.
Keys To The City – Spider Bags – Not only does it include the line of the year, “I’ve Been cheating on my girlfriend with my ex-wife”, it is also a true loser anthem to never leaving, not running. Incidentally, as Dan mentioned me, not at all what happened to him.
In short he wants to put the human touch back in the computer as he thinks ‘music services rely too much on computerized recommendations and there aren’t enough human beings advising users what music to buy’… What music to buy? If people are streaming they aren’t necessarily buying.
Filmed in Rida’s home town of Miami the sites are obstructed so it basically could have filmed anywhere. The long boarding kids are fun enough and the roller blade girls all have nice boobs. Flo? He is on roller skates
The multi-millionaire diva is the last person on earth that requires a patron and another $50 million! She just did a massive world tour, has an upcoming album and self-directed documentary on HBO, and will sing at the Superbowl half-time show
I don’t drive but if you don’t drive, the Westbury takes a train and a car to get there and man is it a drag. I’ve only been twice, once to see Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis and once to see Dionne Warwick and Burt Bacharach. It was worth it at the age of 36, at the age of 56? Not so much.
This song is from their Tooth and Nail Records release of April 2012 LP ‘Secrets Don’t Make Friends’, releasing a new video of a semi ballad on an album that is nearly a year old is a very questionable career move. There is a great sing along of BFF’s in the basement at the end
I am not saying every 18 year old needs to know what J.P. Morgan is, but surely a guy with all the riches of a Bieber, and all the money, and with banking still in crises mode shouldn’t be so damn. Bieber’s idea of an education is quoting Frank Ocean songs
Pete said that the word “substitute” was a buzzword because Smokey used it in “Tracks Of My Tears” . The line is, “though she may be cute she’s just a substitute” and I love words like that. I was writing about strong words just the other day. The new Taylor Swift song has “ruthless”, and “good and right”. Very strong words.
Bruno has a hit on his hand and the album will follows but I really prefer thinking about the Lumineers and fun. who appears to have just happened out of nowhere.
Three Christmas albums, two Country albums, lots of modern pop. So a not untypical chart to end the year. But only Red will change your lfe. Here’s to a better 2013…
The Autumn Carnival (Anton Newcombe remix) – The Dandy Warhols – Remember when there was that second (or is that fifth) wve of nyc rockers spearheaded by the Strokes? nothing much came of it, it was like our version of Brit Pop. The dandy warhols were a messy pro-rock psychedelic dingum then and this, produced y Mr. Brian Jonstown and sworn enemy of all things Dandyish himself, doesn’t begin to sound good – Grade: C
People who watched it from home told me Governor Christie is really really fat people who watched it at the Arena told me Billy Joel is drunk and I can tell you that being stuck at MSG for the six hours of 12-12-12 was like being at a never ending PBS fundraiser.
for me the queen has always been a ridiculous antique vase, whom English people are foolishly attached to for some obscure reasons, but I had always regarded the royals as inoffensive. Morrissey describes them as a regime no different from the current dictatorships in the Middle East and Syria
I find this stance to be inspirational if not downright finger pointing to the lesser performers who cancel a show for a hangnail. Rock on Glen, you’re the man.
Visually appealing/interesting artists like Duran Duran and A Flock of Seagulls were crossing over from MTV to radio airplay. Synth pop was pushing guitar bands to the back of the classroom, Tommy Tutone created the best known telephone number in the history of rock ‘n’ roll, while The Clash had (merely) their most commercially successful album release.
RIP Ravi, a good life, I hope you come back as a musician again.
It cheapens the legacy, in my eyes. It really is nothing more than a money making tour scheme. I cant quite understand how legends such as May can even allow such a thing. After working so hard for so long, what’s the point?
Homer is falling hard for these hipsters, running after coolness as if it was the new donut – actually, they are selling donuts, because these pastries are back being cool – and the whole episode is a study of hipsters’ life and their new parenting method,
So to see this highly touted and not unimpressive folkie in the confines of Bowery Ballroom -you gotta think, right? Might be worth the price of admission? I think so. And it hasn’t sold out by the way. Incidentally, here in lies a question. Why didn’t he follow Ed Sheeran’s lead and do a set at Mercury Lounge, nothing gives you more heat than a first US gig you can’t get a tix to
Oh, and what is the difference between a 4 and a 4.5 and a 4.7 and a 5 rating? The answer is none, of course.It is Pitchfork being Pitchfork and may the lord have mercy on us all.
Crystalline (Omar Souleyman remix) – Bjork – I’m a simple man, you say remix, I say more bass. but it is 2012 and today things can get weird. especially when dealing with Bjork. The rest of bastards leaves me a little whatever, but this Middle eastern flavored rethinking is masterful; – Grade: A
Ely enjoys rich lyrical images, check out this opening couplet from Butch Hancock’s “Row of Dominoes” – “Carmen must have been the Devil’s daughter/At least he taught her how to wear her clothes.”
Just as Bebop and Bird came and never flew the coup, so Dave Brubeck’s take continues to wash down smoothly 50 some odd years afterward; enduring each and every everyman and woman’s jazz cocktail “happy” hour, no worse for the extended play.
With a unique voice that’s equal parts sweet and sultry, Rachel fronts a band of talented African and Caribbean musicians and fuses varying influences such as country, hip-hop, and world music into a captivating and unique pop sound.
There was the revelation that the 50’s were where I wanted to be. Before the ‘1-2-3-4’ of the scene. Before all the death, foam, blood and vomit. I wanted to live in black and white.
‘Scientology’s being toasted by a midget with a blowtorch / Pretender to the throne he’s just a big-ass pain in the zorch / The Wizard of Oz / Cowering behind his curtain / His lies have no end, Of that you can be certain / Dave and his BFF little Tom / These half two men / Think they’re really the bomb / But I couldn’t take their shit no more / So I said ‘Fuck you’ and walked out the door’.
$20 get you on both night and attention must be paid. Amazingly, the owners have gone from being teens to married men wih their label, pretty soon they will be taking their kids!
Talk about a concept whose time has come. And indeed, I don’t see why there aren’t more. ANd, actually, there is a Lady gaga oarody out there somewhere. So how about Katy Perry Hearts Rihanna?
If Woe is Me is one of the first to be announced I can’t imagine how big this years show is going to be. With the announcement of allegiance to Fuse TV I won’t lie- I’m nervous. Granted as far as music TV goes Fuse is tops, if only because they actually show music.
I had downloaded this song a few days ago and hadn’t had the chance to listen to it yet, but I am glad I finally did! It is a cover
Coming Up – Paul McCartney – Macca goes disco and does a pretty great job of . He wrote an enormously catchy bass lick and had all the other instruments play it for the backing track, then he added the beat and sang on top of it. Easy peasy – Grade: A
He simply does not give up. A passionate vegetarian who never shuts up and has the stature and protocol to touch some pretty impressive governmental levels
And that’s very intriguing, as in high-profile investigations, autopsy results are usually withheld while the case is under investigation, and so the police, in the hope to re-launch the case with this document, has done an unusual move since Wallace’s case has remained unsolved.
If you can get over Taylor Swift owning a plane big enough to travel from nyc to London, her flying Harry Sykes back home while leaving the rest of the band “stranded” in New York (apparently all flights had been cancelled? Whatever) has her branded the Yoko Ono of 1D.
By law a petition submitted to US Authorities shall have response within thirty days. But this is rock and roll and 105 days later Michael Posner throws us this bone, This guys salary is your tax dollar and he needs an assistant if it takes that long to issue this weak of a response.
I missed “Yes I Do” till I watched the movie, but it is a pretty good facsimile of a Holland-Dossier-Holland by producer OAK. Actually, I missed Cohen, Solange, and FGL on the first coupla spins and only caught up with them later.
Warrior is honor bound to enter the US Top 10 and Red is back at number one -probably because it makes a great stocking stuffer though I gave a copy to Mary Magpie who roundly ignored it. Taylor has sold an astounding 2.2M copies so far and to put this in perspective, five years ago that would have been 5 million.
‘It was truly an honor to direct the new NILE video; a band with so many diehard fans and such a strong impact in the metal scene. The video concept, as a matter of fact, was inspired by the culture and the ritual habits of the Ancient Nubia, a region along the Nile River, which is located in northern Sudan and Southern Egypt. The research and design elements of the video led to a really interesting combination of the Ancient Egyptian myths, through the prism of the Nubian African Voodoo Burial rituals. Two worlds set so close yet so far from each other.’
But here is a question pop pickers, what do you think will happen if the follow up is more of the same? It won’t be pretty.
Sure, I loved the Outkasts, they were awesome the one time I saw em live. But Big Boi has been a little too far out there for me as a solo act so far. Still, I broke my heart I didn’t hear about Saturday’s afternoon gig till it was too late. Bruno Mars? I have gone one for one on songs off the new album, but it is a biggie nevertheless.
Ghost – Cat Cosmai – Blue eyed soul by a big voiced woman doing it old style. The song is killer though the back up singers come on a little Supremes though they could have been brought down a little mix. The bridge is a glorious construction, expanding the verse and leading her on. The voice? The voice is special – Grade: A-
We all passionately sang, closing our eyes and yelling the words back at him. I think we all walked away with the final line of the tune ringing over and over in our heads: “I have no faith but it’s all I want to be loved and believe in my soul, in my soul.”
He dropped this news when asked about working with Velvet Revolver again: Scott Weiland has been fired from Stone Temple Pilots. He didn’t elaborate much on it, the interviewer was quite surprised by the comme
In honor of Hanukkah, rock nyc is honored to rape and pillage Billboard to bring you their exclusive countdown of Jewish pop stars… no don’t thank us, part of your all service rock nyc: People ask uswhy we keep on posting when nobody likes us… we do it for you!”
