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.
Far be it for me to judge people’s sexual desires, but a Justin Bieber sex doll? Er, that seems to be crossing the line into tastelessness. Surely the twinkie business can do a little better than this.
The platinum edition contains a number of exclusive items that won’t be available to buy separately. It includes a copy of the album, along with a 2GB credit card-style USB, a unisex T-shirt with a Michael Muller photo printed on, and seven art print 12×15 lithographs
Not to be mistaken with the dreaded Ben Folds, Vaughn wrote Marshall Crenshaw’s masterpiece “I’m Sorry (But So Is Brenda Lee)”. He is more like a rockabilly Randy Newman with a wicked sense of humor and a taste for country, and Ramblers.
We may all disagree about many things over the years but I think we will never be able to agree on anything as much as we agree that Coldplay are passive-aggressive egocentric bedwetters, who suck live at almost inhuman proportions
I started out 100% certain I was going to hate this. Seriously even the thought of remaking this tune is horrible. The band altered the tempo and threw in some awkward pitch changes and it came out as..
Ne-Yo and Kylie have been getting props all over the press and new Dionne is always a pleasure but hot the heels of the awesome Most Of My Heroes Still Don’t Appear On No Stamp , on Election Day, Public Enemy is the team to beat. I wonder if Obama Baby is gonna make a liar outta Chuck D and get four more years. My prediction? Yes he can
Disco Boogie Song (Live) – We’ve Got A Fuzzbox And We’re Gonna Use It – If I had a band all we would do is cover this song for 20 minutes and then leave the exhilarated audience screaming their approval! With a zipped out two note synth leading the way, and Magz improvising a call to dance – Grade: A+
Clicking the boombox cassette player on the floor (weak on batteries might I add) the first song up? “Somethings Gone Wrong Again”, I freshened the red lipstick lit a cigarette and belted this out- playing the kiddie piano on my thigh.
Criss takes on his old cronies, accusing Gene of having indiscriminate taste in groupies and often reeking of body odor. Stanley’s feminine mannerisms and lifestyle choices are detailed, without getting in the legal trouble of calling him gay. Of course, Ace was a train wreck.
If you wanted to buy a Keith Morris doll, a Stone Throw poster or a Diplo t-shirt, this was the place to be on Saturday! In this day and age when music is downloaded (or stolen), streamed and does not have a physical life anymore, this was a way to restore this loss of identity, this was a way to restore a contact between the consumers and the producers
Sting, who looks more like Popeye with every passing day, is so earnest you just wanna smirk at him. Nothing kills compassion faster than self-righteousness
This mob causing stunt is in support of their new album “Music From Another Dimension” due out on Tuesday. For some reason the band has also been asked to put their hands in the cement on the sidewalk in front of the Boston landmark
‘REASON 86: Barack Obama is perhaps the greatest president of modern times at communicating directly with foreign populations. He has also changed the way the government communicates with its own citizens about the outside world.’
As he performs his new EP “What Will Be” in acoustic and hipster black and white you get a real feel for the reserved and almost sullen Beckett.
The Aimee Mann album improves with every listen and “Gamma Ray” is the best song, both Taylor and Titus are the best song of three. and the dB’s only had two killer tracks… but they did have two killer tracks.
There are only two types of people in this world, pop fans and everybody else. I am a pop fan, and as such can’t wait to see the South Korean K-Pop phenom BIGBANG at the Prudential Center on Thursday. An all boy band of bubble gum pop without the usual layer of complete weirdness, BIGBANG are the pop band as writ with bucketloads of electronics throw in for the helluva it.
As a multi-racial band our foundation is built upon both diversity and consideration for other cultures. Our intention with our new video was never to offend, hurt or trivialize Native American people, their culture or their history.
The question isn’t whether Calvin Harris can conquer the UK, obviously the great DJ can, but whether Calvin Harris can conquer the US, and I don’t know what the answer to that might be… but I fancy his chances.
Robbie Williams threatened not to tour the UK if “Candy” didn’t hit the top of the charts. So it did of course, and, having seen Robbie at Hammerstein once (actually, once at Jingle Ball as well) I am hear to tell you EVERYBODY WINS! This modified, orchestrated reggae rhythm is a pure pop stroke of immense and beautiful extremes. Cmon, Robbie. We need you Stateside.
Kilmer, who is also part of the cast, erupted on stage during the Black Lips’ already chaotic set, he was seen ‘wielding a prop chainsaw to destroy a guitar amplifier and then using a bowie knife to cut off clumps of his own hair’! You can watch him below trying to smash a guitar.
Old Shep – Elvis Presley – “When I was a boy, Old Shep was a pup…” . One of the great death songs and when Presley can’t shoot the dying doggy I bet you can’t hold back a tear. If Presley sold this song any harder, you’d believe his name was Jim! – Grade: A
fun. might be a great group or they might not but if they don’t take a break from nonstop touring they won’t be a great band for much longer. And what is it with the earplugs? Pianist Andrew Dost is also wearing em, but purple ones, so you gotta think at least one of em is a fashion plate
He passes on a couple of hits, he dolls out his instrumentals like it was gruel and we were Oliver Twist, and his re-defining artistic achievement Time And Tide came and went with minimal publicity. Robbie calls himself lucky, but he isn’t lucky enough, perhaps the self-effacing man should get somebody to awaken the graying of America’s denizen to the great musician in their midst.
If you like continuous columns of electronic sounds lasting and stretching for a long time in many directions, if you enjoy unexpected soundscapes and some indescribable musical experiences, Thavius Beck’s music is for yo
changing the way the lyrics were sung in the original and making them sound so much more interesting. Clearly Issues has shown that even the shittiest of songs can be improved.
I cant help but wonder if he will outdo that statue, Morrissey’s giant hair in bronze? Also, why the heck get buried in LA you’re just gonna float out to sea eventually anyway.
When you get those awful sing-alongs, and a band’s ego kicks in when the crowd sing their words back. It’s as if they’re standing on stage thinking ‘this is what we’re worth’ and really the audience would sing ‘We’ll Meet Again’ if it was playing.
Marvin Gaye will be forever remembered as one of R&B’s greatest voices. He died tragically at age 44 when his dad took him out with a gun. A sad end to the man who was called the Prince of Soul and The Prince of Motown.
‘Even though it’s a huge opportunity to play in the O2 with a major hip hop star and a substantial fee was offered, we are completely against Chris Brown’s assault on Rihanna. It goes against everything we are about as a band”
From Gainsbourg To Lulu – Lulu Gainsbourg – So many guest stars, I’m expecting Serge’s on to change his name to Lil Wayne any second now, and the 26 year old looks a though he’s 47. The stench of stale Gauloise is all over the album, but it is really quite good. Especially on the songs where he is channelling his Papa, who, indcidentally, wrote all the songs to start with – Grade: B
1. Africa – The Meters – Thinner and funkier on record, louder and more anthemic in person, either way it sounds like a funk band bringing it home – Grade: A-
In a very satisfying synchronization, Anthony sings Anthony, Billy’s punk move by a punk band and two Queens boys salute each other through the decades. Grade: A
We have friends and family members that have died, had damage to their houses or lost power as a result of the storm. Needless to say, we have been severely effected
I want to repeat some of the lyrics of the song, ‘I’m not excited but should I be?’, I mean the song is really bouncy and dynamic, and I had it in repeat in my head after listening to it only twice, demonstrating how catchy the music is, but I was expecting a little more for some reason
