Feb 06 Pissed Jeans At Le Poisson Rouge, Friday, February 4th, 2012, Reviewed
I like the liquidity, there is something sinuous about the band as they go about the hardcore rituals they are saddled with.Even the name Pissed Jeans suggest things about bodily fluids and discharges. They slip and slide through punk, prog, hardcore. They are lizard kings of jeans

he started singing the western-ambiance-hymn-to-Jesus ‘Long Lost Friend’, and some melancholic instrumentals that sounded right away very familiar

Feb 06 Madonna’s Half Time Super Bowl Show Reviewed
So with the world watching, Madonna enters the field to Vogue, as though she is three types of Cleopatra’s and proceeds to, well, vogue. The sound is loud and tinny, and, never a particularly melodic song, it is all dance moves and bass bottom. Who is playing? Sounds like DJs and backing tapes to me.

Feb 06 “Here Come’s The Sun”, Beatle Guitar Solo Discovered
I have stated before how fantastic it can be to hear a song through different channels but what was found here is a pretty slamming guitar solo. In this video, at about 1:01 is the lightbulb moment when the solo is discovered.

Feb 06 Why Doesn’t Justin Vernon Want To Play The Grammy’s? Because He’s A Big Egoed Tool
Vernon was actually asked to perform as part of a performance with another artist, as he explained: ‘We wanted to play our music, but were told that we couldn’t play. We had to do a collaboration with someone else’.

Feb 06 The Cult and Flo Rida, Mash Up The Super Bowl
One game two teams and everyone has something to say about it. You’re either a football fan or your a Superbowl fan, the line blurs. Its really a day for non sport fans to eat wings and scream in the living room without the commitment of actually supporting a team.

Feb 06 La Dispute on tour for “Wildlife”
When good bands tour together, it’s a sign that music isn’t complete rubbish. La Dispute, Balance and Composure, Sainthood Reps and All Get Out are all doing a tour in North America.

Feb 06 Television Light: February 6-12
Die Antwoord is on Letterman, theyre freaky as hell and everyone spells it Die Antwood, which is amussing. But best of all? The freakin Fray- yup the white rice of rock and roll, there to sit like a lump in your brain. Mindless shotglass of bile..Id rather swallow a remote.

Feb 06 UK Top Ten Albums, February 11th, 2012
The problem with Lana’s album is the great thing about Cohen’s: the production. It is so de rigeur. The beats are so received, so often heard, so similar and so kinda out of place. Whatever you wanna say about Cohen, it sounds exactly like itself

Feb 06 Lana Del Rey On Letterman
I Born To Die is an excellent album, I thought she was fine on SNL and though I am a touch tired of “Video Games” by now, she is first rate here, singing the aforementioned on the Letterman Show.

Feb 06 UK Top Ten Singles, February 11th, 2012
Dance is changing over the last couple of months. If its emotional concerns are still somewhat on the lame side, the flip is a musical deepening of the sound. “We Found Love” is one, “Titanium” is another

Grooveallegiance -Funadelica – I am so excited to be seeing the great man on Wednesday and it gives me the perfect excuse to blast Funkadelica and Parliament for days on end. To be reasonable about it, what else could I want?

With his face covered by two microphones and a beard and a seven piece band, including four horns, muffling in the back ground, and between the lot of them they whispered into the night.

one of my fave songs off one of my fave albums  by bright eyes,  figured id give it over to my fave rock journalist from a younger generation and see what she made of it… eek!
One word describes Bright Eye’s “Lua”
-boring. Usually calm, quiet music catches my ear, but this is ridiculous. Couldn’t grab my attention, it was almost painful to listen to. “Lua” is a song that just didn’t engage me.

Record label, chart rockin’ Toby Keith has every right to sneer “The Grammys don’t respect country.” –Toby Keith, nominated fhas beeen nominated precisely once for a grammy as Best Male Country Vocal Performance in 2006. Sincece then he has been a multi million  selling artist releasing songs by  multi million artists and the Grammy’s are clueless. Country is another country, if you don’t break pop forget it..
