They exploded in all directions, never stayed still but rather randomly moved against each other, like a pack of boiling molecules

Jun 19 Eric Singer of KISS Snaps Back At Fans
Raise your hand if you think this is the most fucked up statement from a someone who shouldn’t be allowed to speak. Really Gene put a leash on your dog…err, cat.

Jun 19 Color Me Impressed: In Anticipation Of The Replacements Reunion Two Pros Offer Up A Setlist
I asked Bill Holdship, who wrote the liner notes to the extended Replacements reissues at the bands request, and Rob O’Connor, the Yahoo Music columnist and maybe the best rock critic around, to tell me what their favorite songs were.

Jun 19 VOTE CAT COSMAI FOR PRESIDENT (and also the Ultimate Borough Battle Winner )
She is like a female Hall and Oates with a dollop of Billy Joel circa An Innocent Man. At least that’s the best I can do with “Waiting For me” -a plainly awesome soul song

Jun 19 Must See: Nine Inch Nails This October
It is not that that Trent Reznor is old fashioned, it is rather that his innovations have been so built into EDM and hip hop DNA that he sounds old fashioned

Jun 18 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,

Jun 18 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

They were quite loud and a positive force was literally emanating from each musical fiber of their high-energy songs

Jun 18 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

Jun 18 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.

In 1978, Marshall Crenshaw played John Lennon to Glen Burtnik's Paul McCartney in the touring company of Beatlemania, 35 years later the two men were revisiting those days as the Incredible Simulators at BB King's. And before you go on about how the last thing the world needs is another Beatles cover band just remember this: except for Cheap Trick we have never had someone of Crenshaw's stature to step up to the plate. And also remember that Cheap Trick played psychedelic Beatles and the Incredible Simulators don't touch psychedelia. Plus, with the exception of Cheap Trick and Will Lee's The Fab Faux, the Incredible Simulators are the most consistently excellent Beatles cover band you will ever see.

The Rolling Stones At Barclay Center, Saturday, December 8th, 2012 Reviewed

Towards the end of the Rolling Stones eagerly anticipated performance at Barclay Center, Mick Jagger said, “People always ask us, why do you keep touring? You’re the reason we really do this.” This isn't true, the Stones do it for money. If they did it for us, they would hire guitar great Gary Clark Jr and tour sweaty nightclubs playing the blues. Clark joined the band  for Freddie King's "Going Down" followed by the Glimmer Twins own "All Down The Line" and this is what we paid our hard earned bucks for. "Going Down" was easily one of the best live performances I've heard from the band in years, all that was missing was Mick Taylor. Jagger traded vocal licks with Gary and Wood and Richards threw down on him and the not yet thirty year old  Clark was equal to the task. "All Down The Line", an Exile On Main Street guitar plus horns boogieing in the Deep South, cut the version from the Stones 2006 Beacon Theater gig for the Scorcese movie to shreds. Shredding shredded.
