Dave Grohl Hosts New HBO Series

When musicians become actors or worse TV hosts its never a good thing. There seems to be a false sense of glory for rockers- just because they’ve had some success they feel they can act, and model, and host and really now c’mon, stick to your day job.

"Grease" Is The Word At Fox For 2015

I would have recommended “Spring Awakening” though I understand the problems with the censor and the lack of family might make that unacceptable. But how about something huge and smashing like “Showboat”? Or the adaption of a movie, say “Singing In The Rain”?

Cat Steven's, Actually Yusef, Is In New York!

His showing on Jimmy Fallon nearly sent me into cardiac arrest. Older and behind dark shades he performed a medley of “First Cut Is The Deepest” and “Wild World” accompanied by The Roots. First off The Roots need to chill, between this and their hanging out with Elvis Costello I’m getting a bit jealous

Some Thoughts On The Beatles CBS Special

The problem is I have seen everyone from the Faux Beatles to Marshall Crenshaw perform terrific versions of Beatles songs and really, these versions, certainly anything anyone but Stevie Wonder or half the Beatles, the “les” if you will, were somewhat on the useless side.

The First Hour Of The 2014 Grammys Reviewed

LL Cool J was bad last year and worst this year. The “Mama Said Knock You Out” in Tux and smile sprouted poorly written platitudes about music bringing people together. Really, I mean, really?? It was skin crawlingly insincere bullshit of immense proportions, I wonder how all these overfed over glorified nitwit pop stars can listen to this crap without throwing up

What? Judas Priest Is Not Death Metal?

Judas Priest: a character in the episode referred to the band as ‘death metal’, something which didn’t sit well with Judas Priest’s fans and überfans, and Bart Simpson had to apologize in his usual old-fashioned classroom punishment, writing a hundred times on the blackboard ‘Judas Priest is not death metal’.

Farewell, Treme

But the true main character of Treme, as realized and vibrant as any other, was the music. It infused every part of the show, from passing shots of buskers on the corners to the biggest names on the stages of Bourbon Street

Death To Saturday Night Live

This is Lorne Michael’s fault, he has grown lazy or maybe just bored with SNL. The Michael’s produced Jimmy Fallon Show is much funnier, why doesn’t he move some of those writers? Doesn’t he sit in on the meetings. Doesn’t he wake up on a Monday morning like Tom Coughlin, wondering what hit him?

Dr. Who's "The Day Of The Doctor" Reviewed

Matt Smith as the 11th Doctor and David Tennant as the 10th Doctor meet up with John Hurt as… well, I don’t know what number Dr. Who it is, a War Doctor, finds the trio ready and willing and has done in the past, kill off a planet before going back to the future via a doomsday machine with a conscience, to not kill off the Daleks and the Time Lords in one fell swoop.

SNL Flashback January 26, 1980 The B52's

Now if I can survive the first tune by the musical guest I’m throwing myself a victory party. No lie- it’s horrible. When we bitched and moaned over the loss of Belushi and Radner and claimed the Billy Crystal/Eddie Murphy days were crap we had no idea things could and would get much much worse.

Iman and Hel Do SNL: Katy Perry

haved loved her music for what it’s worth. Fluffy ear candy with no real purpose but no real harm. She is the poster child for teenage girls and gender non descript fella’s. She is in line right after Gaga for the Queen of the Queen throne but right now she needs to stay alive.

Iman and Hel Do SNL: Arcade Fire

Welcome Back SNL. I can honestly say I havent missed the show at all over the summer break. Yeah, Justin Timberlake and Kanye gave me a couple good moments but over all it was a pathetic hot mess. Void of comedic valud and seemingly draggin on forever, this hour and a half of my life would be better used sleeping.

Paul McCartney On The Jimmy Kimmel Live, Monday September 23rd 2013

The JKL crew was asking us to cheer up and applause every 15 minutes, it was for a TV show after all, and no one was complaining, that was the least these people could do. On stage, they were bringing a colorful small piano, whereas there was already a grand piano in the back, and soon Jimmy Kimmel and Paul McCartney were waving to us from the top of the El Capitan building
