May 21 Balance and Composure at Skate and Surf Saturday May 18th, 2013 Reviewed
As soon as they stepped on stage, and crowd pushed forward. Luckily I was to the side and wasn’t being swallowed by all the people. There were a lot of fans in attendance; the majority of the crowd knew the words, and I was one of em

May 21 Spotify Streams At Four Cents A Dance
So who gets 2 Million streams? I just took a look and Macklemore and Lewis did 3.7M streams of “Can’t Hold Us”, so that makes about $160,000 in revenue of which the band get MAYBE 25%.

May 21 Not With The Band: When And Why We Love Sad Songs
Curiously, we have a tendency to think that uplifting music or some other upbeat stimulus would cheer us up in this case, effectively wouldn’t you think to console a friend who is going through a bad break-up by bringing him to some cheerful event for example? But hell no, this research totally contradicts the common opinion

May 21 Why The Return of The Skate and Surf Festival Left Me Unimpressed
Apparently these guys were on a different time zone and every act was behind an hour. Sad news for labels like Fearless Records who tweet Mayday Parade (aka ‘Breadsticks’) is on at 7:15 and they come on after 8. Seriously, how amateur can you be? I have been to so many festivals and theyre precision timing.

May 21 rock nyc Comes Alive Episode Seven: “With Your Ears”
It was fun to read, Helen writes with a great deal of energy and the article itself is very clear and extremely well constructed, flipping from one generation of women to the other from hippies to punks and finally to the child who encapsules all of it.

May 21 Golden Slumbers: Recent Deaths In The Musical Community
After a spate of deaths in March and April, the Grim Reaper has been passing on musicians for the past couple of weeks. Not that it helps Dr. Joyce Brothers any and which Helen went through cartwheels to include even scaring up an interview Dr. Brothers conducted with Kiss. But no. Taylor Meade on the other hand…

May 21 Queens Of The Stone Age’s Best Cover Songs
he band has effectively done a certain number of cover songs, and this is not an easy art. If everybody can learn somebody else’s song, not everyone can appropriate it, transform it without torture it, and QOSTA does exactly this: they manage to make the songs their owns by injecting in them their unique sound, while always remaining loyal to the originals.

May 21 Sneak Peaks: New Album Releases Week Of May 20th, 2013
Obviously, Daft Punk is gonna be the big seller, but Christopher Paul Stelling, the brilliant folk singing who builds his own guitars, is the one I have the highest hopes for, especially after hearing “Brick x Brick” . Elsewhere… the Nationals and Darius Rucker look like keeper to me.

May 21 Hear Ye: What rock nyc Is Listening To 5-21-13
Alkaline Trio are because a) I just watched “The Muppets Movie” and b) I am going to see em on Friday. Tom Petty is a highlight from an iffy setlist, the mess of “A”s #5 – # 9 are all new releases and Johnny Taylor reminds me of a disco band that used to cover it in a Beirut club called “Venus”.

May 20 Ray Manzarek Of The Doors Dead
I’ve always loved the Doors myself even if those in the know got muzzled by Morrisson’s over the top coyote blues poetics, Manzarek steadied the sound for a pop world. By the end, by the time of Morrison Hotel and LA Woman, the band were where they needed to be.

May 20 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 say often enough how insanely phenomenal Patrick’s voice was.

May 20 The Killers At Barclays Center, Saturday, March 18th, 2013, Reviewed
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”.

May 20 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.

May 20 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

May 20 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. 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’.

On Saturday, I got my Saint Motel fix in the middle of the afternoon. The Los Angeles band announced on Twitter and Facebook they were shooting a commercial for DEWAR’S® Blended Scotch Whisky and were looking for an audience at the Echoplex around 4pm. I first thought they will be filming one song for the ad, but the whole thing turned out to be a real mini-concert in the middle of the afternoon, even coming with one free drink! Okay, I know nothing about Scottish whisky and I don’t even drink, but I know a lot about the super-vitalizing effect of Saint Motel’s music, contrarily to that of the whisky, at least for me!

almost wanted to go to the annual KROQ Weenie Roast Concert in Irvine, mostly because there was Vampire Weekend in the line-up, but it was sold out, and I thought that, with such a long list of bands (The Black Keys, Thirty Seconds to Mars, Vampire Weekend, of Monsters and Men, Jimmy Eat World, Silversun Pickups, Imagine Dragons, Awolnation, Atlas Genius, Fitz & the Tantrums, The Neighborhood, C2C, Capital Cities, New Politics, Twenty One Pilots) each band wouldn’t play a very long set.

You can count on Kayne West to stick to humbleness and lo-fi self-presentation,… nah the rapper who has recently introduced himself as ‘God’, has just decided to project a video of his face singing his new single on 66 different buildings around the globe. Why 66? Does West believe he is Satan too?
