The Mayans may have said it’s Two Thousand One Two, party’s over (oops, out of time), but many music fans decided to party like it was 1979. Fearing changes to the Consumer Price Index calculation of Social Security, a slew of AARP members released new albums including Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Graham Parker & the Rumour, Ian Hunter, Van Morrison, and Patti Smith.

Fall Out Boy, Skate and Surf Fest Saturday May 18th, 2013 Reviewed
This is when it hit me that FOB is truly the greatest band of our generation. They have such stage presence, and I can’t reiterate enough how insanely phenomenal Patrick’s voice was. The band was so tight, not a single beat off- it’s like they were never on hiatus in the first place, it was like they rehearsed together every day all those years.

A terrible singalong moment: “I have soul but I’m not a soldier”. They might as well be singing “I’m in tune but I l’m not a tuna”.

The True Believers Grapevine, TX Friday, May 18th, 2013 Reviewed
I would love to hear the True Believers play live with a proper sound system and I’d also love to see them perform a full set. After forty minutes, the Grapevine Main Street Festival organizers told the band to exit the stage. The True Believers were booted for being too loud.

rock nyc Comes Alive Presents Cheri Dahl At A Vacant Storefront, 54 Crosby St,
I kept hearing a combination of Deborah Harry and Ronnie Spector, by virtue of the power in her voice. And that was the key – the power in her voice. It was a close-your-eyes moment as she sang and you could fee

Saint Motel (Shooting A Whisky Commercial) At The Echoplex, Saturday May 18th 2013
People had heard about the news and a nice crowd had gathered in front of the club where the Rolling Stones played just a few weeks ago – but I digress, I still haven’t digested my failed attempt at getting in – but back to Saint Motel, err, no they didn’t cover the Stones, but they did cover The Who by the way, and I think it was ‘A Quick One While He’s Away’.

Chester Bennington of Linkin Park Joins Stone Temple Pilots At KROQ Weenie Roast Concert
Now I am certainly no fan of these bands, but apparently, it was a real surprise beside the already established fact that Scott Weiland has really been fired from the band. Guitarist Dean DeLeo had this to say: ‘Chester has a one-of-a-kind voice that we’ve admired for a long time. We know Linkin Park will always be his priority, but we thought it would be cool to try something together.

Check it out there is NOTHING on Thursday. After all of my years of doing this its the first time there were no musical guests listed for a day. That is actually a blessing this week considering that Bret Michaels is everywhere

UK Top 10 Albums, May 25th, 2013
I panned the Lovato album but I’ll giver her the benefit of the doubt on the single, which is power pop dance style. But the surprise is Chris Malenchak’s superb lover’s rock meets dance and whoever wrote that bass line that opens the song should be signed.

UK Top 10 Singles, May 25th, 2013
20 year old Gabrielle Alpin is a talented enough singer songwriter and she is cuter than Bobby Gillipsie hence the picture but while yet to be release Stateside, an early stream off Youtube suggest the Primal Scream album is an epic rocker in a league with XTRMNTR.

Iman and Hel Do SNL: Kanye West Kinda
Kanye West is a perfect irreverent ending to SNL’s season. When he isn’t busy being an outspoken knob or an egotistical maniac with his mug projected on buildings, he’s an artist who actually has the right to be arrogant. Such amazing words flow seamlessly from his inflated ego and big mouth.

Loving Lizard Kisses
“Over And Over” off the EP sounds like a 1960s Cilla Black cover, without Cilla Black or the back up band and stripped of everything till it’s just a voice and a guitar lick. If that sounds like your thing you are really in for a treat.

FIDLAR At Artopia, Thursday May 16th 2013
New York (or New Jersey should I say?) has intellectual punk Titus Andronicus making all these references to Albert Camus and Shakespeare. Los Angeles has riotous punk FIDLAR making references to coke, weed, skates and cheap beers… Both bands are young and bring tons of punk energy to their shows but don’t seem to come from the same place… existentialism versus teenage boredom,
