May 22 Exclusive Interview With Central Park Summerstage Artistic Director Erika Elliott
“The diversity and strength of the music SummerStage presents is arguable as well rounded and representative of New York City (and the World) as you will find anywhere, and Im extremely proud of that.”

May 22 A Renaissanc​e- Chatting With the Goofy, Tall, Individual William Beckett
Starting anew, Beckett says that in a band “you’re a bit tethered to what you’ve done before.” Now that he’s solo, he’s able to “focus it all in, and hone it and follow my instincts.” He’s doing it how he wants, free from the reigns of other’s input.

May 22 What The Toxicology Report Says About Elliott Smith’s Mysterious Death.
I have to repeat it: he had a normal dose of prescribed meds the day he died, hadn’t drunk any alcohol nor taken any street drugs,… no cold turkey, no overdose and all other stories you may have read or heard are lies.

May 22 WCCC Mass Chaos 2012 Comcast Theater Hartford CT Saturday May 19, 2012
I got there later than I wanted to but I got there in time to catch some great band with a great crowd on a perfect late spring day. WCCC has been around as the hard rock station of Hartford CT for longer than I have but still remain current and keep rock alive in this lame city.

May 22 Maroon 5 ft. Wiz Khalifa “Payphone” Video, Reviewed
The song itself is your typical “we broke up and I miss her” song. It kind of has the overall message of people change and I guess we changed because you dumped me but I wish we could go back to the way things were.

May 22 Not With The Band: Isn’t Forgiveness Always A Lie?
First of all why should I forgive Chris Brown? I wasn’t the one whom he assaulted, he didn’t do anything to me (or to Cheryl Cole), I have nothing to forgive him, if there is some forgiveness to occur, it’s between him and Rihanna. But then, abusers, especially physical abusers, are a special species, there are actions which are truly unforgivable.

May 22 From Sinead O’Connor To Van Halen: Meet The Week Of The Cancelled Concert
I caught Sinead and Van Halen earlier this year. The VH reunion beat out the Beach Boys gigwise, so if you have tix and now aren’t going… well, it sucks to be you!

May 22 Despite What You Think, Delta Goodrem Has Never Heard Of Arcade Fire
There is an undeniable similarity indeed, that crescendo with the piano, but her voice is auto-tuned-commercial-style, and for me, her song sounds so much like a bad remix ready for dance clubs, that it is difficult to hear the Arcade Fire song. But the most surprising in this story is that Goodrem had never heard of Arcade Fire… wow, Australia is really the last frontier.

May 22 Can I Get a Hum Hallelujah? Patrick Stump Not Quitting Music
is not unlike the pretty girl who keeps saying shes ugly to get the compliment bus heading her way, or is it? Stump seems the most un-ego driven artist in pop. He doesn’t hug a genre and he didn’t bow to Pete Wentz (then again where is he these days??)

May 22 New Goth Heroine For A Bored Old Anti-Magical Age: Cate Le Bon
So I went in search of Cate on stage, only to discover I missed her at Mercury Lounge in February and more fool me. Proof again that in the 21st century, you can’t keep your ear close enough to the grounnd.

May 22 Mark Ronson’s “Wild Nights” With Michael Jackson
”I was probably 12. He was super cool. You’re 12 years old and he’s the world’s most famous overgrown kid, who’s running around your friend’s apartment with you. It was pretty wild.”

May 22 Chrissie Hynde The 200,000th Signature To End Animal Testing
Animals are kept in deplorable conditions and subjected to barbaric tests to make sure that shade of lipstick will do you no harm. The problem is the tests have been done thousands of times before. The results are the same, yet we continue to torture in the name of beauty.

May 22 Listen Up 5-22-12
I’m Still The Same Person – Sister Crayon – How were they last night? I dunno yet, but if this is anything to go by they were a haunted buncha kids with a good chick singer, sound effects and keyboards aplenty in this Sacramento indie band – Grade: B+

May 21 Paul Weller At Best Buy Theater, Saturday, May 19th, 2012
His set at Best Buy on Saturday night was the man we have seen for over 35 years; playing his solo material, more,than that, his 21st Century solo material, looking back atsome mid-90s solo career highs and throwing in an occasional Jam song for taste.

May 21 William Beckett The Space Saturday May 19, 2012
Opening up with a Damien Rice tune, playing a few unreleased songs, and even an acoustic rendition of “Seed”, it was certainly eclectic. The live version of “Girl You Should Have Been A Drummer” was so great and his energy was untoppable.

Some Thoughts On Robin Gibbs

Serious illness does seriously fucked up things to you. As Robin Gibbs maneuvers through a life or death situtation, I wish him the best while noting his claim that bad luck follows the Gibbs Brothers (his twin brother Maurice died early, his little brother Andy died young), is interesteding but misguided.
