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
‘We tried to play good tonight since the president was here today. Don’t believe the media. I think it’s going to be a landslide.’
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?
The story follows a womanizer and heartless man who is trying to reach the heart of a woman with Green Day records, but since he has no heart – and when it is a Green Day video, you have to literally visualize it: there is a giant hole in his cavity chest! – the seductive game doesn’t work out very well.
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.
While Nietsche is the man for college kids, Nietsche wasn’t as clearly a youthful signifier, Nietsche substituted gods for god, Camus restructured the world so we weren’t the center of even are own world. Presley made it fun.
The album breaks down into three parts, rockers, blues rockers, ballads. The rockers aren’t great but they aren’t bad, and the ballads are just plain brutal. Steve Tyler has always sucked at ballads but we are saps for guys with long wigs too much feeling so he can’t help but roll em out. On Dimension it truly sinks the damn 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
Let’s stop a moment and acknowledge this as a very sad tragedy. Lucker at age 28 had a wife and small child and well unexpected death is always most difficult to handle
Starting with lots of heavy bombastic drumming, an interesting fuzzy bass line, and spoken lyrics coming from Mr. E’s signature voice talking about peach blossom, tiger lily and marigold, the tune suddenly and briefly breaks down into a melancholic melody.
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
I see nothing offensive about a woman who appears to have been assaulted under the ‘Welcome’ sign of Vegas on the contrary I find it quite appropriate.
Lyric Culture a the ‘music inspired lifestyle brand’ is launching a new Jimi Hendrix men’s collection at Bloomindales nationwide.
Grace’s music is a tangled interlocking of roots and rebellion under a gauzy tinsel town rapping. It is truly rebellious, because it subverts from the inside out and converts from the outside in. She is a singular person, spreading the wings of fashion into the winds of style
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.
With only a picture of a mixing table posted on Twitter and Facebook, Queens of the Stone Age announced that Dave Grohl is playing drums on their next album! … And fans couldn’t contain their enthusiasm, as in just a few hours, hundred and hundred of comments were posted.
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
In the end, what BV did over the week was cement its place as the center of the alt world. It became not just the only place to be for listings but the only place to be to take the pulse of how the music world was handling the Hurricane
“Paradise Garage” was the great gay disco hangout that heralded House in all its beauty and my bet is this started a tribute even though the video is aggressively heterosexual. It used to play before the movie at the Waverly on 8th street every saturday and became part of the scene.
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
So let’s look at 2016: Christie better get to Weight Watchers fast if he wants it all and Cuomo better take that smug smile off his face. Plus, if Christie wins? All Springsteen all the time.
Tearing up countless times, the coming-of-age story is timeless and no matter what your age, it’s heatbreaking and relatable.
With a presence both electrifying and casual, the lanky, scruffy, good looking Texan Gary Clark Jr. , managed the stage with the cool you imagine a Hendrix had near the start of his career
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).
3oh!3 did pretty well for themselves in the begining. Had a couple great dance tunes that will forever be in clubland but then? Well then something went a bit odd.
On This Winter’s Night – Lady Antebellum – A vision of hell, the breathing embodiment of Scrooge’s old admonishment ” “Every idiot who goes about with ‘Merry Christmas’ on his lips, should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart.”. With worlds of competition, this includes the single worst versions of “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” and “All I Want For Christmas” and “I’ll Be Home For Christmas”. A dreary, dire, humorless slog through worn out chestnuts that are like old horses dragging overweight Christmas tourists from the Mid-West around Central Park.
Swift Technique really put on a show, they dance, they talk, they lay on the floor with their feet in the air, and they take it all the way.
After watching it a couple of times, I can tell that the video is as fun as the song is upbeat! Over a catchy chorus and driving guitars, we follow a high-school mini-story involving the two sisters Sarah (on guitar and vocals), Stephanie Snyder (on drums and backing vocals), and a love story viewed by 3 persons,
I am not a Leo fan but I am guessing it is just one of those things, you can’t like every good singer songwriter, sometimes their cap annoys you or the name -six letters in two words, oh please, rubs you wrong. Or something about their melodies never hits your sweet spot.
You simply COULD NOT listen to anything outside your scene. In an odd sort of gang mantality you all stayed the same in your quest to be unique. I missed out on alot of great music and still even tons of years later I am unable to allow myself to like alot of it.
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+
In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, have you heard about Haiti? The hurricane hit them hard, really hard, the world’s poorest country has declared a state of emergency as 70% of the crops have been destroyed, the flood has raised fears of a resurgence of cholera, and one and one half million Haitians are at serious risk of hunger
411maina.com is showing this photo as ‘Joan’s first’ PETA photograph and although she looks beautiful, I’m thinking theres a whole lot of filter on that 54 year old face
‘I would have said America wasn’t ready for it. And I don’t think they were, because they’re trying to drag him down now. I mean, the poor fucker’s only just gotten rid of all that George Bush shit that he left, or is trying to.’
Since we all know how it works out, kudos for a Tehran so tense and scary it is like another planet and a creeping, intense, nail biting thrill even after the flight with the six Americans going home, has left the ground.
From Elvis’ underwear to John Lennon’s tooth we as civilized people will throw down the dough for something tangible from an idol. I suppose its similar to those who collect autographs
He is also a megalomaniac and egocentric B grade musician whose shelf life is about the same as a loaf of Wonder Bread. I really like him and Falling in Reverse.
