‘Up to Infinity’ is quite an epic. aggressive punk number with thunderous guitars and raging vocals. In fact, the song is as angry and wild that it is busy, and it almost sounds like punk hardcore at times or like a tempest over our heads ready to destroy everything; it is not surprising to read that the track was inspired by the Syrian civil war!
Neither songs are exceptions, track after track, 11 between the two, are ear candy. They should be huge in college…. maybe even bigger in High School.
The only things they know about politics have been pushed onto them by their guardians- their opinions are not their own. They’re spewing nonsense, and it’s pretty much pure humour. I hate how kids try and say that they’re going to make a difference when they can’t do jack.
“It could just mean that we heart radio and this is a combination of our love,” Nick joked. “No, but it does mean that the album is coming along and that we’re days, if not hours away from choosing a single so it’s very exciting. We’ve got a good team around us and we’re excited to get the music out there for our fans.”
if you are gonna be there I’d love to know what you thought! Their latest album is a killer, if they do half of what they can on stage Friends are gonna become a band of lovers
Religions are dogma and so they don’t really evolved, and as much as the good catholic girl inside her would like to make us believe that religious people are tolerant and are willing to accept such differences, it isn’t true.
Lady Gaga, if you are a true Catholic, you must follow the pope, if you aren’t following the pope, well, you are not Catholic, there is no other way to put it.
OK, looks pretty heavy duty to me. If you haven’t seen SN live, they will really wow you. A funk, r&b, hip hop real deal mash up and that isn’t even do them credit. Believe me, I pity any band following Shinobi on stage!
“There are songs that he’s written that will be a part of the next record. We’re all going to have to think like him, and he’ll be there. He’ll be there; there’s no way of Paul Gray not being a part of anything that we do for the rest of our career.”
There is no money, and certainly nothing vaguely amusing in the “Shitehouse” comment. It isn’t a pun, it doesn’t sound similar and it doesn’t rise above playground name calling. of a woman who died at 27 years.
Monday night, she gave a long political speech during her MDNA show in Washington DC, talking about Abraham Lincoln to Martin Luther King to Obama, browsing history as if she was a real scholar. At this point, you may wonder whether Madonna, with her Evian bottle in one hand and the black-panthers-look of her toy boys behind her, has become the strongest civil rights advocate in the country.
The Beatles! Live! Direct To Radio! WITH LOVE FROM ROCK NYC TO YOU!!!!!!!!!
The only album that has a chance of being worth the price of admission is Tracy and then again… there is a built in catch. If you aren’t being faithful to the original why bother and if you are being faithful to the original, why bother?
Well it’s nearly October so this is a pretty good example of the end results No big surprises either. We may not be able to afford gas or food but screw that I’m not missing One Direction, I can starve. Basically the economy cant be that bad if these acts are raking in the dough!
One For The Money – Royce da 5’9″, Skillz, Diamond D – Eminem made him a star and Slaughterhouse give him some serious competition, but Diamond D is less thrilling here. This is the state of the art in rap, but it lacks something and I don’t mean heart, I mean conviction – Grade: B
It sounded great, but except for the light show, it was all a little boring. Like listening to classical music, opera is fun, classical, all people do is stand around and play and essentially that’s all the Brooklyn based experimental indie rock band does.
Kneeling on stage, Amanda was holding her banjo player by the waist during most of ‘Polly’, giving the best banjo blowjob people had ever seen. The Radiohead cover was cleaner and quieter, and at this point I was wondering whether they would play some of their own songs.
The year was 1985 and I was depressed. Deeply. Due to a combination of a lack of resources and a lack of imagination, I chose a stint in the United States military as my post high school launching point…
A simple enough task that left Whitehead forever changed and in awe as he was “Astonished, not only by the incredible power of the Stones’ performances, but especially by the raw energy of the crowds of young people that rushed them everywhere.”
1. Rock stars date beautiful people. 2. Models are beautiful 3. Therefore rock stars date models. And sometimes marry em!
From the insanity of the opening ticks to the swirly fun house ride through sound there was no containing my love of this album. Loving Devo was a death sentence.
We cant say enough that 50 years at any job is a great accomplishment and these guys lived it hard. Maybe we should just cut them some slack and not expect anything. I do like the stop starts of hype though. Keeps ya on your toes.
I’m the only one who holds the key, and you and I will be intimate forever because I will hold that secret forever. Unless of course the celebrity that you had so much interest in but you wanted to accuse me of bringing up while you laughed at me all night? Unless you’re interested in being a celebrity, I’ll make you fucking famous any time you ask and I’ll open those boxes. So why don’t you stay in your fucking holding cell?’
”I feel like we’ve been doing this for so long, five or six years. And we’re kind of like saying, well, let’s just do what’s natural and just kind of explore that, instead of like forcing it all the time.”
He wrote a very odd letter to rocker Marilyn Manson- I have no idea what he is talking about but I don’t think he knows either. The photo is of the exact document and below is the transcript for you to trudge through. The dude is a head case. I dig it and if anyone can outcreep Manson….its the original Manson.
I can’t say much about the band, I have never seen them live and have never been interested enough to listen to a whole album. I just know he made an album in a cabin in the woods, probably because he likes that Northern Exposure TV show so much, and because it looked so cool at the time,… and so indie, although I am sure you can buy Bon Iver albums at Walmart.
If you have tix to the Monday October 22nd show at the Beacon, well, you will definitely gonna hear “Judy” as they will playing their entire first album. Tempting but I went for Saturday’s show because, well because it’s a Saturday.
Green Day are pretty good when it comes to opening bands, I saw Kaiser Chiefs open for em one time, Velvet Revolver another. But Best Coast I’m really thrilled about.
Walk Like A Giant – Neil Young & Crazy Horse – Neil’s best new song in decades, maybe since stuff off El Dorado, is an expansive 16 minute hot diggety proto- Sergio Leone theme replete with whistles and deep guitar struts. By the end it is just a marshal shrapnel plummeting, and in between Young worries about getting old. The reason I am so happy I’ve failed to like anything Young has produced till this year, is so when I say this is a return to form, you can believe- Grade: A
“So it is a lot of stuff that has been kept under the radar, meaning a lot of us are not too accessible or don’t know what we are doing to get known and we are kinda content with that.”
With two talented female vocalists sharing the lead vocals and two equally talented male vocalists, the songs, which often had a poppy side, were sung with multi-voice soulful harmonies, a classical touch on the keys, southern percussion and a twang-gospel touch. The whole show seemed to be a series of gospel-inspired stomp anthems with a sound almost too pretty at times
What Pete got to see was two renditions of “Happy Birthday” and Bruce’s 87 year old mom Adele, along with his sister and wife, present him with a cake. Pretty amazing right. This was the first time Bruce has played on his birthday since cells were invented!
They’re there for girls to swoon over them, and boy do they do that well. Their smiles are genuine, and they even do the Inbetweeners dance, which I thought was the cutest thing ever. The best part is when they’re on the lake in those gigantic inflatable hampster balls- that looks so fun.
It is certainly impossible to predict the future, but among the hot artists of the moment, will we see any of them – from Rihanna, to Pitbull, Train, Flo Rida, Nicki Minaj – on a high school kid’s t-shirt 30-40 years from now, the same way we see the Beatles, The Stones, Pink Floyd and Jimi Hendrix? Personally, I don’t thinks so, but what do I know? My point is that nobody knows.
I worry that it will tarnis the amazing memories of “Bizarre Love Triangle” or the stellar brilliance fo “Blue Monday’. Best of all “Age of Consent” with some of the best drum sounds of all time. Decades and decades later theyre going to the studio.
Even if catching lyrics live is always difficult, it was obvious that there was a lot of storytelling in these songs which talked about pain, death, murder, violence and loss, definitely not light stuff… ‘I wish I was an outlaw/Spend my life kicking ass and takin’ names/There would be no love lost/Town to town killin dreams’, he sang in ‘The Pilot’, you get the picture!
There may be no money in writing about music, but many a musician has used it as a stepping stone to a career as a pop star!
The Boss needs help. He needs a hand. He needs rock nyc to write up his set list for him…. and here it is the annotated Bruce Springsteen dream concert!
Anais directs a full band and the sound doesn’t need fleshing out, it is tuneful and deep, and a fine opening for her friend Justin, who actually played sang on her last album. Justin’s girl Kathleen Edwards also comes to mind, though Anais isn’t as playful, maybe the big stage is making her a little jittery
“We don’t see each other too often, but no sooner do we start talking than some little innuendo creeps in. Some old memory pops up, and you go ‘Whoa, that’s one to forget!’ There’s lot of those things drifting around.”
Raise your hand if you're sick of cant Lo Greene. The guy is everywhere and painful on the eyes. He breaks one solo hit and hes like shrapnel, you can't
Everybody is gagging for the new No Doubt, doubtlessly, but after “Lamborghini Angels” , there’s a new chance this is the Lupe album we’ve been waiting for/ As for Green day, nice timing Billie Joe.
Rehab – Amy Winehouse – The classic update lyric with down home sound and that voice. When it was first released it was a great joke, today it aches with poignancy and warning – Grade: A
Quilt use close harmony and interlocking guitars to make drone rock. that doesn’t always drone or rock but always holds your attention. Or: Quilt bought Surrealistic Pillow, threw away the album but learnt to play the sleeve. Or: Shane is tall. John needs a shave and Anna has the prettiest eyes.
I know it is already pretty easy to get free music on the internet, but what does this new thing say about our society? Each time there’s gonna be a new way to listen to music on the internet, people will find it to get it for free. The eagerness to own the track instead of just simply stream it, is still very strong.
I realize of course with 11 years on a shelf comes some aging process but how about more ska less club? This isn’t ‘duh club’ clubbing music, on the contrary this is haggard Madonna wanting to pulse it for the queens.
According to some websites, she must have gained about 30 pounds, which is not negligible for her short size, 5′ 1″, but she is still doing exactly what she was doing before the transformation, walking around in bra and underwear, not afraid to show off her extra pounds, all packed into her tight and revealing stage outfits
This is as good as Taylor Swift’s “We Are Never Ever Getting back Together Again” -a song it resembles in its breathless perfectness. This is a s good as Titus Andronicus ever needs to get. Sometimes they are better than this but no, they don’t have to be at all
In honor of the big event there will of course be a meg super duper deluxe box set edition of the album bonus tracks which include the band’s last singles ‘Great Depression’, ‘The Bitterest Pill’, and ‘Beat Surrender’.
I agree that it was not cool to cut Green Day’s performance to accommodate Sir Usher and princess Rihanna, he has reasons to be pissed off, but this come across as trying a little too hard to be badass and, you know… punk…. But on the other hand, would real punk bands play that family radio festival, this ClearChannel top 40 line-up?
No Doubt promoting their new album (out today!) and my, my, my…look at Fallon. Its Two Door Cinema Club. These little Brits have a wonderful management team in the UK yet a rather.. hmm, unprofessional group in the US. Chances are pretty good they will remain a fringe band with that promotion. Good for them on Fallon though, get a bit of exposure, and be forgotten.
