I don’t appreciate talent competitions and the auditions are horrific. I despise the sob stories of broken homes and homeless song birds. Shut the hell up- sing and move on. Yet someone is watching- and someone is letting this show earn a time slot and a salary.
I cant see anything too impressive this time other than Prince on the View. I saw him there once before and watching him always makes me jittery. The poor guy comes across so dangerously shy that you almost wish he wouldn’t do press
I had to mute the VMA’s when he performed and tonight I stay up to sit through yet another lame sketch comedy to be annoyed again. The difference, I get to be annoyed with my right hand man Iman Lababedi. Mr L will listen to anything, literally loves every genre and has more music knowledge then Wikipedia.
Jimmy has totally stolen late night music cool. Conan used to be the king but no more. Jimmy is just younger hipper and more entertaining. HIs band The Roots sorta suck but that’s ok cuz it makes the guest look better
Best of all and not listed… Saturday Night LIve premieres on the 15th. What scares me is that I had to mute his performance on the MTV music awards- how the hell will I survive 2 songs on late night? Lord kill me now…
We have here an assembly of musical guests on some talk shows. None are good, none are profound and they’re all basically there to promote themselves though you cant flip on your radio without hearing them anyway. In the present ‘social media’ is a hell of allot more efficient then television
For those of you unfamiliar with the band I strongly suggest the introduction via the ‘Rake Song’. By far one of the best told musical stories. Melloy’s voice is outstanding and the overall mood sent over with such clarity that it will remain one of my all time favorite song.
‘Swaggy’, thats the word of the day! The episode titled ‘The Fabulous Faker Boy’ has Beiber as a contestant in a talent show- and not making the cut. A bit of pop star self depreciation. I gotta say though, Beiber has lost his standing joke status
Well lets try this a new way. Late night TV musical guests for the out of work and insomniac. It appears Owl City and Carly Rae are the big repeaters along with a heap of repeats.
When you are young and beautiful every musician will want you. Your wish is there command theres jewelry cars and gifts access to elite clubs and backstage antics. Then you marry them then you age and then you realize that some younger model has replaced you
Inbetweeners- offer up the standard fare. The nerd, the stud, the fat kid and the social mess. The issue is can it play to the US kids? No. Not to any who have seen the BBC version. But there is hope in those who have nothing to compare it to
Over 200 millon albums sold worldwide, more tours than wrinkles and more fans than any. Longevity? These guys own it. There is never an empty seat and they are watched by eager loyalists just as closely now as in their chipper younger days. Fifty years at a job is a ridiculous accomplishment.
Here we are, right back to rerun land. I know the Olympics are the cause. There is virtually nothing worth watching on any major network due to the games. The thought being that the world is glued to the battle dome of idiots looking for medals. Truth is there is a fair amount of folks in each country who couldn’t care less about the Olympics
I think it’s great, but once a song has been featured on Glee it’s no longer right for True Blood end credits.’ Luckily, there was an easy ‘plan B’: ‘I knew this great song by Elliott Smith with the same title. We gave it a try and it worked beautifully.’
So check out this brilliant commercial that ad team over at Fed Ex came up with. A death core band who enjoy golf and an angry manager who thinks that gentlemen’s game will ruin their image.
I worry about rockers stooping to these shows. Steve Tyler first now this? I want to see Bruce Springsteen, no wait I WANT BOB SEGER to judge one of these shows so I can die of laughter. There is nothing cool about TV talent shows
The program called “Dark Prophet” is scheduled for premier this fall. Seems a custom fit role for Rollins as a big know it all, so this could work. He has a great number of die hard fans too, so hes one up on the competition.
Reruns and the Olympics pretty much hog up the airwaves, sorry about that. So all week there is no Tonight Show and no Fallon, and no big loss there. So what we do have is rerun cuz really why bother
Rufus! Rufus Wainwright starts of the television week tonight with David Letterman, but then again ARETHA! is on as well.. tonight is DVR night thats for sure.
But really its Thursday that caught my eye..well, well, well, lookit there its No Doubt!!!
This is a great thing, there are new things to discover rather than yet another week of Steven Tylers and fun. Seems a bit country heavy but hey, this is summer in America and for some reason that become synonymous with twang.
Holy CRAP Jimmy Fallon has a killer week!! Let’s face it nearly every week I’m here complaining about how lousy the music on television is but this week.. I cant!
Its not easy for me to hate Brand. He’s so rock and roll did a great job in ‘Get Him To The Greek’ and he just looks cool. The slurry Brit speak the pin thin legs, what’s not to love?
A rock opera is a perfect outlet for someone as theatrical and Manson so this can potentially work- of course if it evolves into and actual rock opera it will be a hot mess cuz the last thing we need is another Rock of Ages thing going on. C’mon stop the torture. A one hour television episode though, thats a good thing
They’re happy to tour with their friends. They’re grateful for Glee for their positive message. They don’t mind waking up at 5:15 to be on talk shows, they’re so grateful and happy and thrilled and honored and happy and having………………..fun
Dude sorta looks a bit like Russell Brand here but its not, its Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zero’s, best of all get a load of the expression on the goof behind him. That’s quirky to say the least!
I applaud Stern for pulling the plug- he didn’t wimp out cuz the kid was a pint sized thug. I am really tired of society using the ‘awwww’ factor. Screw that the kid should be rapping on his own stoop and not on television for all to judge.
I may not be a big fan of the new LP but I am still a very big fan of Garbage and want them to continue to perform and record. There really arent band out there that offer the same intelligent lyrics delivered with a disturbing edgy quality. I say we hold on to these guys as long as we can.
So Beach House said no to the agency, which hired a band (named Sniffy Dog, according to the AV Club) specialized in making sound-alike songs for ads…. Is that even allowed? Why powerful corporations always get away with murder like this?
That’s Mick Jagger at like 100 years old sounding freaking amazing and if he choses a group of people to back him up then he knows what the hell he’s doing more than I ever will.
Mick Jaggersits on a tiny stage with the Ghost of Rock and Roll Future, upstart hipster frauds Arcade Fire, the pathetic excuse for current Ghost of Rock and Roll Present Foo Fighters, and The Ghost of Rock and Roll Past Jeff Beck.
What could possibly be the reason for all the rehearsing? One thought is that since singer Mick Jagger is scheduled to appear as both host and musical guest on the season finale of Saturday Night Live on May 19, the Stones might join him on stage for the performance
There is nothing worse than Gaga’s speaking voice. That old sleepy stoner drawl that literally makes me want to smack her off a chair. Speaking from the back of the throat slowly isn’t sexy or hip its fake and stupid
So for the finale we get Mick Jagger. Jagger has been the musical guest twice and if you ever saw the mirror bit with him and Jimmy Fallon then you know he has a wonderful sense of humor. He really doesn’t need it considering half of the writers are missing that laugh gene.
As this not ready for prime time hot mess oozes across my screen it has been a torture chamber and with Iman off at the Prudential Center to see The Red Hot Chili Peppers, I am stuck here to watch this crap.
Well then lets not have ABC left out of the mix. John Legend is set to partake in a new series called “Duets”. The show will have celeb singers criss crossing the country looking for that perfect singing partner.
I loved their performance at the Secret Policemans Ball. So full of energy and fun. But they see to be a hit or miss operation. Love them or hate them they are a mega pop band and should be treated as such. I’m kidding…
Now Steven is pitching chicken. Yup, Burger King chicken strips has a brand new guy. You thought that the King was scary looking? Check out the commercial! I suppose the money is good and the exposure is outstanding but I’m really stunned to see such a legend selling fast food.
Welcome to May!! This month of flowers and happiness will kick off with a week of mediocre bands and lots of bla bla bla. On the flip side there are some amazing LIVE acts coming to the Northeast so really this television bit is only for those of you who have the flu or insomnia.
I found it annoying the few times I have seen it with some of the most horrid stereotypes, yet for some reason it has a huge following. The season finale is fast approaching and the soundtrack is quite fitting
Iman and I were sad it would never return. Well now, looks like there has been a change of heart. The UK Daily Star revealed that James Buckley (who plays the role of Jay Cartwright) let the cat out of the bag. The boys will return and either be at college or with job.
It seems to me that music isn’t really primary anymore, now that the big dough is in ooky stuff like them parks and films and now, advertising. The UK has a new add for a pesticide directed by Rob himself. How come we don’t get cool stuff like that?
, Video didn’t kill the radio star, video made radio stars. I mean seriously, would there be as many boy bands with limo’s if there weren’t videos? Ok, some may debate that there were boy bands before music video and of course there was, but that actually required talent- now all ya need is a good haircut.
There are two million remixes of his song ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’, there is milking a cow and there is animal cruelty. When you have a hit, let it be a hit, lets not have the disco, reggae, hardcore, symphonic and salsa version of that same dumbass song.
Instead of having nice smooth, slurred, descending notes on the word “tonight”, they decided to add in this terrible warbling, making it sound like “to-nye-ee-aye-ee-aye-ee-aye-ee-aye-ee-ight”. Please listen to the actual song so you know what I’m talking about; you will understand exactly
I am now on a quest. A quest to NOT have to se Cee-Lo Green on a show (aside from his own of course) for a week. This guy is really pushing me over the edge. Just seeing his mug sets my mood to bad.
Here we are though, watching these guys who’s fans are up past curfew to catch a couple tunes and scream. What I wonder is can the over 16 crowd relate? Can we get older fans to appreciate the bubblegum boys? Is there any talent or even showmanship for these British-Irish blokes?
Fans have lined up since Thursday evening in hopes of scoring a ‘stand by’ ticket to the shows. Standby since there are not tickets available. Those were distributed months ago as a first come first serve situation.
“Unplugged” took our favorite bands and literally unplugged them, putting them in the round with no enhancement. Acoustic performances by those we never thought we would hear in such raw form. I would have to say Nirvana and Pearl Jams episodes are the most remembered to me.
I suggest you rent Rude Boy. A Clash film to die for and well worth your viewing time. The Filth and The Fury is another fun movie you could rent if you need a bit of music on the box… cuz ya ain’t getting it from the Satellites this week.
The show has no actual start date but will begin this summer. I really like Cyndi and I’m not so sure this was a good idea. We have Gene Simmons, we had Ozzy and more. Will she have enough audience to make it interesting?
