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.

Jun 18 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

Jun 18 “Man Of Steel” Reviewed (More Or Less)
Character, stamina, humor, plot, believablity, everything is thrown away for the sole purpose of another action sequence

Jun 18 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.

Jun 18 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.

Jun 17 Kris Kristofferson At The Concert Hall, Saturday, June 15th, 2013, Reviewed
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

Jun 17 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,

Jun 17 Yeezus H. Christ This Is Good
It’s an unnervingly simple, aggressive, it’s his leanest and most direct effort

Jun 17 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.

Jun 17 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.
