It’s a long show for a 71 year old man to lift single handedly, especially with a malfunctioning TV screen. Tork maintains his concentration and his stamina for the full 90 minutes and the show has a sense of pacing and direction

“Remembering Mabel and Bobby”: The Mabel Mercer And Bobby Short Tribute Concert
After 45 years, some folks from the Mabel Mercer Foundation put together a tribute concert to Mabel and Bobby at Town Hall, the same legendary location where they met in 1968 for their infamous concert. And I missed it

Unstoppable Goldenvoice Announces First City, Another Music Festival In Monterey
Can you believe it? People have barely emerged from the torpor of last month festival and hipsters still have their 2013 Coachella bands around their wrists, that we are thinking about next year! And all this without a lineup in view before almost a year!

Despite the terrible movie name, this Star Trek does no more and no less than it sets out to, keep the franchises alive while letting us giggle over the Muppet Babies

Randy Blythe Words of Wisdom For Us All, “Be Carefully”
I cannot tell you what it is like to look into the eyes of a mother whose son is dead as result of attending a concert by your group, his favorite band. I cannot tell you what it is like to hold her tiny hands as she weeps for her dead boy; to hold those hands in your large hands, the same hands accused of killing her son. I cannot tell you in any words what it’s like to feel that grief for her lost only child

The Silver Lake Chorus Will Perform New Music At The Bootleg Theater This Friday
Remember, this is the 25-member group that regularly gives us a capella covers of famous songs, coming from all over the indie spectrum in beyond, with choral arrangements and layered vocals. They can go from Beck to Muse, from Regina Spektor to Phoenix with the same conviction and have been described as the hipster answer to Glee,

Why Is Ezra Miller Not The Face Of His Generation?
In the midst of a disappointing movie, he consistently made me smile. The face of his generation? Although a child of privilege, Ezra is a super everyman. His next movie is Madame Bovary so it might have to wait a year.

US Top 10 Albums: June 1st, 2013
Christgau gave the Vamps an A+, so you gotta think, right? But congratulate them for me if you don’t mind. And George is in at # 2 and he deserves it. Husband and wife team for the last two and you might notice that some acts have worst grades this week than least. That’s how it goes in 2013

Top 10 US Singles Junes 1st, 2013
So 20 years after daft Punk changed the face of dance they get their first # 1? How? By goign back to 1979 and riding a Niles Rodgers lick for six minutes and more power to them. That’s how we do it and it makes as much sense to me as the sound of the click on a Moroder song

Hear Ye: What rock nyc Is Listening To 5-23-13
With the exception of the Mabel Mercer and Bobby Short duet which makes Paul Simon swinged not stoned in 1968, the two big surprises are the brackets, Jay-Z’s excellent rap on an average The-Dream track and the Weeknd full on soul in French Montana’s average rap track.

Laura Marling At Amoeba, Monday May 20th 2013
Live, Laura is very serious, meticulous, concentrated on her playing, emerged in her art, only cracking a smile when her guitar is out of tune, ‘I should get another guitar’,

Some Thoughts On The Doors On The Death Of Ray Manzarek
They got their band sound from the keyboards, it is still their most distinctive element and it is the break on “Fire” that made Morrison a superstar sex symbol. Also, with those sideburns and shades, Ray was an important visual element.

Watch Beck Perform New Songs In Santa Cruz California
Of course, some avid fan did a recording of some of the new ones and you can watch ‘Sorry’ and ‘Heaven’s Ladder’ below, filmed by someone who must have been just below Beck’s nose. ‘Sorry’ is rather upbeat with a catchy chorus ‘Used to be happy/ Used to be laughing’ and a very-Beck bridge, but nothing really memorable lyrics-wise

Your Music Stinks

Tom Petty Begins His Beacon Residency To Raves
The Heartbreakers are such a great band that I might very well be wrong , hearing these old pros jam together could well be a revelation, it could well be a Southern Crazy Horse. Or it could be a tremendous bore.
