I don’t hear any cowboys bitching about how they’re portrayed and they look a whole lot worse than the Native Americans do. Yeah, I said Native American so as not to offend

After his disastrous cheerleading for John Kerry, Springsteen has called it twice in a row. Both for Barack Obama, and this time round bruce is so deep in bed with the President it is embarrassing. Words fail to express how much credibility Bruce has lost this century.

The folks from MellowHype and the folks from Trash Talk are throwing a party at one of the best clubs in the city, Gramercy Theater on Saturday night and it should be a hugely enjoyable show. Trash Talk will be loud and rigous, Mellow Hype the child of Kid Cudi we can find on the new album and a wonderful time will be had by all

Got Me Good – Ciara – this is a busy little track from the former Rihanna wanna be who found herself washed up after a disastrous opening slot for Jay-Z. This has beats to spear but the vocal is another nondescript effort – Grade: B

Waterlogged LPs and sleeves are being carefully dried and repackaged but there is so very much to be done

it was in 1975 that Mr. Springsteen ran onto the cover of both Time and Newsweek. He faded into obscurity the following year and is believed to be manning a hot dog stand in Atlantic City at this time. Patti Smith reaped critical hosannas with her unhinged, beatnik, word slinging persona and an English blues band named Fleetwood Mac morphed into a pop sensation

One of the three new ones is great, the other two aren’t bad, and one of the demos is good, one isn’t much, and the acoustic version is excellent. I hope she plays it like that live. Quite why she chose to roll out the demos of the first songs on the album, you’ll have to ask her.

f you are in the UK right this minute, this is what you do, you check out this nostalgia line up, a who’s who of 70s pop charts. The best? Hot Chocolate. Given another shot at the big time, Errol Brown and go, who were to soul what Thin Lizzy were to metal, would make it all the way to the States and not be stuck on “You Sexy Thing”. I have never seen em live, but I would sure love to.

It is well known that he has severe hearing damage and is diligent in protecting what is left but really was storming off the only option? You would think levels would be set prior to the performance?

Why is Stephen Stills still livving paycheck to paycheck? How much is a gram of coke nowadays?

You would think after all this time- it’s all been seen and heard before. Seeing such legend on the enormous screen of your local Cineplex will be a pretty cool thing.

No movement on this chart, everything is exactly where it was but you are there. And it is not a terrible chart but fun. Are getting to be less and less fun and Taylor actually said, and I quote, love is not the most important thing in the world!

Another 2.5M and 21 will be toppled by a 22 year old! Meanwhile, I haven’t hear the Meek Mill (it’s not on Spotify) though my nephew Jeff swears by it. As for Rod? The album is a train wreck but hey, it outsold Neil Young so you gotta think there are some people out there who like their aged raspy not fuzzy

Toot N Toot N Toot – Curtis Mayfield – if ever a man’s career felt like one long highlight this is that man. But even so, those early 80s disco funk albums were phenoms. The reason people can’t write dance like this any more is because people can’t arrange songs like this any more. Because they aren’t using full orchestras live in a studio – Grade: A

Half an hour of awesomeness, especially the beginning where Denzel is nailing a girl young enough to be his daughter all night before lines of coke and Joe Cocker’s”Feeling Alright” gets him to the airport on time

Lyric Culture a the ‘music inspired lifestyle brand’ is launching a new Jimi Hendrix men’s collection at Bloomindales nationwide.

She is telling us, he doesn’t need to apologize to get in my pant again, and it’s not your business,… this is what I get from all this. And it’s not my imagination because the two have been seeing each other, and are probably dating again since the release of these two songs, ‘Birthday Cake’ and ‘Turn Up the Music’ earlier this year.

“Mystery Train”, a sort of decline and fall of the American Empire as seen through the eyes of strangers and refracted thru a rock and roll spectrum, is a fun ride and a smart movie.

I suppose his boyhood days were hell. Most likely called ‘Bert’ by his mates the Humperdinck was impossible to escape from. Thank the Lord he got famous or how wouldl he have survived?

So now it can be told: Yoko Ono was a nuiance to McCartney, but Allen Klein was a danger and Allen Klein was why they couldn’t continue

Luv XXX – Aerosmith – I hear the rest of the album sucks and that might well be but this opening salvo is a crunchy little rocker that shakes the cobwebs off and from its “Hello, hello, hello…” first lines wonks its way thru in powerful fashion. Really, not terrible – Grade: B

Tearing up countless times, the coming-of-age story is timeless and no matter what your age, it’s heatbreaking and relatable.

The American tour has been wonderful and amazing, and with me being unable to AFFORD to bring my show with full production, (which i helped create) to Europe, financially, really dumped a huge additional amount of stress on me as i was and still am fighting trying to get tour support.

In the past 25 years since the Smiths brole up, Morrissey has released nine albums of original material, 11 Greatest Hits Packages and 2 live albums and Johnny Marr has released… NOTHING!

I wasn’t invited but a rumor is reporting that Thom Yorke was there, dressed up as Daft Punk! He put on a DJ set wearing the famous helmet with Chris Holmes (from Ashtar Command).

You Made me Change My Number (remix) – A.M.X. – Featuring Snoop Doog who for once doesn’t crowd the star out of his own song. A.N.X. thinks he is the next Marvin gaye but here he is just a Prince of electronica. Still, a good prince of Electronica – Grade: B+
