I blame all these false rumors about the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, The Smiths and an all-vegetarian festival, or even another reunion of Rage Against the Machine… but none of the above, sorry! Instead we will have Blur, The Stone Roses (close enough to the Stones), Sofia Coppola’s favorite Frenchies

Are You Ready To Accept Kanye As Your Personal Saviour? “Yeezus” Reviewed-ish
Everyone hates him, he talks shit about everything, does not fear repercussion, creates music for himself until its time to ‘pay the rent’ then they pop out a hit. Interesting huh? All the haters are really just scared. He’s saying shit you don’t want to hear,

Cyndi Lauper And A Girl Who Wanted To Have Fun
I was a senior in high school in 1983, busy with SAT tests and college applications and impending adulthood, so it was a good time to be reminded that girls just wanted to have fun

Safe Haven At The Roxy, Saturday June 15th 2013
They were quite loud and a positive force was literally emanating from each musical fiber of their high-energy songs

The Magnificent Seven – My Favorite Concerts
Many places I have lived are not exactly live music meccas (ladies and gentlemen, I give you MANHATTAN, KANSAS) and I’d rather not skip meals to attend arena shows

Frank Turner Covers Foo Fighters’ “All My Life”
I can’t get enough of the harmonies. When the instruments hit that discordant tone and it mixes with the perfect blend of voices, it’s chilling. The original version doesn’t quite have this same quality.

Not With The Band: Is Paris Jackson Right When She Says Justin Bieber Is A Disgrace?
She despises him for not taking any action regarding some of his fans, making allusion to the whole ‘Cut For Bieber’ trend that occured on Twitter at the beginning of this year

Sneak Peaks: New Album Releases Week Of January 24th, 2013
Yes, that’s what a great live performance can do for you. Performing three Frank Sinatra covers, Legend changed me from a decades long hater to an intense admirer and if Love In The Future, his first album in five years, is halfway decent (and that is no promise mind) consider me so there when he plays in town. Otherwise, count me in on Beady Eye, Mavis Staple, maybe Wale, definitely Hawthorn Heights, definitely India Arie. But Smith Wesson, I prefer em when they were getting thrown out of Broolyn nightclubs for underage drinking.

Hear Ye: what rock nyc is listening to 6-18-13
End of the weekend music and after watching Viva Las Vegas it’s been all Kweezy all the time. Three days of listening to the album and it becomes clear that the first four songs reach a heigh of consistent industrial strength power that the rest of the album doesn’t quite pay off, and then it ends with a reminded that he can turn on the hit making whenever he feels like it. “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” -he killed it at Gov’s Ball.

After his songs there is always his family and watching his 22 year old daughter watching her father as they joined together for a handful of songs, was revealing enough for any set

The Doors’ John Densmore’s Book Signing At Amoeba, Friday June 14th 2013
The Doors’ thin drummer looked happy and in good spirit when he sat down at the signing table around 6 pm and stayed there for a long time; when I left an hour later, he was still signing everything that was presented to him, books, vinyl, posters, drumsets,… He took a short break at one point and was regularly standing up to wave at the crowd,

Blue October, “Bleed Out”, Reviewed
I’m hoping for a little something more from this Austin Texas band. I want them to be huge (no pun intended) but they need to steer in a less depressive direction and mix it up a bit. I’m not implying ‘walking on sunshine’ happy, but for Gods sake stop being so beaten.

Kanye West Is The Black American Psycho, Or May Be The New Bret Easton Ellis?
So is it another way for Kanye West to push the envelope? However, he has to be aware that the novel destroyed the 80s music – I have heard that Phil Collins never forgave Ellis – but West’s new ‘Yeezus’ is probably lyrically strong enough to stand up next to the bloody-gory violence of the novel.
