Film reviews are often expected to put into words why someone should like or dislike the finished product. For There Will Be Blood, I cannot do that, because it’s so
So last week’s embedded test run with our new friends at imeem went swimmingly, and we see no reason to halt a good thing. Don’t look a gift horse in
It’s difficult to imagine of a more inaccessible band for small children than Medeski Martin & Wood. In all my years of being the creepy guy in just a trenchcoat and knee high socks at the local playground, I’ve never heard a parent say, “You know what my kid loves? Acid jazz! And he adores five-minutes percussion solos!”

But there I was at 6 pm last night, draped in my weekday business casual in the Time Warner Center’s Borders book store, watching the always-entertaining trio play a bunch of tracks from their new kids album, Let’s Go Everywhere.
A crowd of children sat in front of the band, most of them seemingly digging the music about cats, pirates and choo-choos, while a throng of equal parts hippie and hipster watched behind them, trying their best not to rock out in such a public place. And of all the venues I’ve done the head-bob, right knee-bend and foot tap to live music, Borders may now be a top contender for the strangest of places.

There’s really nothing objectively funnier than a sketch or an interview that leaves you wondering whether you’re supposed laugh, cry or touch yourself lustily. And this morning our friends at
So just how awesome is Microsoft founder Bill Gates? This guy can apparently pick up a phone and get Slash to play some Guns ‘N Roses licks any time, anywhere.
With apologies to Chris Harford, it’s Chris Robinson that fronts the real Band of Changes. And today the oft-evolving Black Crowes — with Luther Dickinson affixed in the latest incarnation of the lineup surrounding the Brothers Robinson — announced they’ll be playing smaller venues for a run of one-time engagements.
Was the end of that last sentence oxymoronic enough for ya? Regardless of semantics, the Black Crowes sent out a note that they’ll be playing the new album, Warpaint, in its entirety on stage during a special run of “One Night Only” shows. The Crowes will play the material from its first new album in seven years (due out March 4th) at smaller theaters before moving on to “songs from their catalog and selected surprises.” That whole deal sounds pretty sweet to us.
“One Night Only” tour dates:
Mar. 02 – Sayreville, NJ – Starland Ballroom
Mar. 04 – New York, NY – The Fillmore @ Irving Plaza
Mar. 05 – Boston, MA – Somerville Theatre
Mar. 07 – Chicago, IL – Park West
Mar. 09 – Atlanta, GA – The Tabernacle
Mar. 15 – Austin, TX – SXSW @ Stubb’s BBQ (not part of the “One Night Only” shows)
Mar. 19 – San Francisco, CA – The Fillmore
Mar. 20 – Los Angeles, CA – The Avalon
Check out the full press release after the jump…but we summed it up fine.
We’re anxiously awaiting the late-Spring album release from the band whose namesake may or may not have bedded Mike Piazza. One month ago we linked to Sam Champion’s first downloadable
I tried my best to attend my college classes as frequently as possible. Far too often, however, those efforts suffered drastically from a lethal combination of Chicago’s notorious inclement weather,
We’ll look back fondly on our first full year in action, a period that saw us publish 1,127 posts — not bad for two guys draped in business casual collecting
We’re sure this one’s making the rounds virally, but our main man Coach just alerted us to a spectacular piece of video. You may have seen Sweet Child O’ Mine
