o is the one in the shades in this pix and I am so sorry for her family and friends and for me. They just don’t get this good. And I really was right, they really ere the most fun in the world. What a crying shame that somebody who brought so much fun to the world should die so young.
It was with great sadness that we heard of the death of Total Slacker’s 24 year old drummer Terence Connor in a bike accident on Monday ar 515am
At the time, the song sounded like hokum, a commercial move. But today, it seems to define something, both the hippie down pattern coolness and all, perhaps equally, a revolutionary spirit
In 1973, Marvin was a well paid Movie Score pro in Hollywood, when he kicked it in the head to return to Broadway and write the music for, ta dah, “A Chorus Line”. FOR ONE HUNDRED BUCKS A WEEK!!!
When I was a young freelancer for the Village Voice’s music pages in the early 1980s, Alexander Cockburn wrote the brutal, hysterical Press Clips column with James Ridgeway, putting light on the liars
We lost a honky tonk angel, a bassist in the shadow of motown and the man who powered heavy metal -not on guitar but on an organ. Not cool, right?
That simple black and white world was the perfect place to me. Pies in the window, chillin’ out at Floyds Barber Shop, red and white picnic blankets. I loved Mayberry and I loved Mayfield, the home of Leave it To Beaver
we remember Victor best for his roles in “Magical Mystery Tour”, “Help!” and best of all the prissy Television director in the woollen cardigan in “A Hard day’s Night”.as Lennon might put it: give us a kiss…
‘He was a huge part of our history which sometimes gets forgotten… mostly his legacy would be his songwriting abilities that he brought to Fleetwood Mac, which will survive all of us… If you look into our musical history, you’ll see a huge period that was completely ensconced in Bob’s work’
The final temptation of Robin was to wonder where he stood in the middle of all this: some folks appear to have everything but have some form of bad luck about the, How can the man who co-wrote “To Love Somebody” be considered a sad figure in rock? The song was written to order for Robert Stigwood, the band were too commercially calculated.
Most of her songs were about love or sex and this one time she tried to venture a little deeper she basically fell off a cliff. What was she ainging about anyway?
She was one half of the 1970s as surely as Prince was one half of the 80s and Biggie Smalls one half of the 90s. Her effect on dance through her (lack of presence) is definitive and the building blocks of Industrial, tecno and house.
The Beasties’ sense of humor saves their excessive misogyny and irresponsibility from becoming unlistenable. A band conjuring up Jimmy Page to note they share a taste in underage girls is, obviously, laughing itself sick
For some of you he was just a creepy shaking mess on recent New Years Rockin’ Eve. Ryan Seacrest was his wing man keeping the dream alive but truth is, he should have gone out with more dignity.
Like most Westeners, I first became aware of the Indian musical master through his work with George Harrison on the first side of the concert for Bangladesh. You know, the one applauding for the tuning of the sitars. Ha ha ha ha…
The brothers were Disney’s go to guys in the second golden age, the 1960s. Together theyw rote the scores to Mary Poppins, the Jungle Book, Bed Knobs And Broomsticks…
Both Iron Maiden and Van Halen have covered him and, er, he introduced the world to Sammy Hagar!
A legendary nice guy, decent human being who no scandal has touched, international heartthrob, terrific singer, and self-deprecating good guy, rock nyc offers its condolences to his children and grandchildren. Davy Jones was always too busy singing to put anybody down.
My Twitter feed is just a long list of RIP Whitney, an outpouring of loving condolences, but who honestly was still thinking about her these days? And suddenly she is the greatest singer of all times,… Tony Bennett, you already said this when Amy Winehouse died!

A longtime friend of Kim Gordon, Kelley was not only a visual artist but a musician, who even collaborated with Sonic Youth, and also the founding member of the Detroit punk band ‘Destroy All Monsters
From drugs and miscegenation to Presidential politics and celebrity power, James seemed to always find herself getting screwed: she is, despite the huge respect she is held in, a tragic figure
