The most talked about event in New York City last night involved Andy Samberg joining Justin Timberlake on the Madison Square Garden stage for a live rendition of the duo’s
The widow of Grateful Dead guitarist Jerry Garcia is suing to gain access to unpublished tapes of her late husband’s musical performances. Deborah Koons Garcia filed a civil suit Jan.

rom the looks of it, the marching band in Prince’s halftime Super Bowl show couldn’t touch the fun factor of Portland’s favorite band with a 10 foot pole. Named after the date of their first gig, the MarchFourth Marching Band is a high-energy mobile unit of good times. Taking a Fellini-esque mix of Mardi Gras mayhem, Afro beat, Mexican hustle, sultry samba, big band, and gypsy folk to the streets and the club/ festival scene.
Playing against a simple yet intriguingly-utilized backdrop (including five flat-screen televisions showing various different angles on the trio throughout the show), Keane delivered a set with the polish of so many British pop/rock groups. Chaplin’s voice had the crystal clarity of their recordings, rising at times with the grace and power of Freddy Mercury, yet harkening often to the earnest soulfulness of Coldplay’s Chris Martin.
It’s been a long time comin’, but the Superfly folks just posted three videos of Oysterhead’s performance from the Bonnaroo festival on its 2007 website. Rubberneck Lions, Shadow of a Man, and
If like really doesn’t attract like, oft-disgruntled NBA forward and aspiring rap star Ron Artest must be awfully pissed about String Cheese Incident’s retirement. After a neighbor blew the whistle on the h3tty Sacramento Kings star, Artest is now under criminal investigation on suspicion of animal cruelty:
A notice from animal control posted at the front of Artest’s Loomis home indicated he is under investigation for failing to feed and nourish the dog.
Neighbors said the dog is often left alone in the yard for months at a time without food and water. They said animal control has taken custody of his dogs on at least three other occasions.
Our friend Chilly Jackwater alerted us to this astonishing ::malnourishes dog:: development, and he recently also overheard Artest complaining that “The Bomb Factory is over-fuckin’-rated, man. You heard??? OVER-RATED. I’ll take anything from December ’95 over that bunk shit any fuckin’ day, puh-leez.” No word on whether Ronnie loves Punch You in the Eye above all other Phish tunes.
You ask me, I think Artest’s doctors been slinging him bunk meds for years…
Of all the incredible acts at the upcoming Langerado festival, I’m most excited to see Soul Sister #1 Sharon Jones and her Dap-Kings backing band for the first time. Hey,
In re-reading a bunch of my previous columns, I’ve noticed the ladies haven’t gotten enough love (yes, an intentional double entendre). I certainly didn’t intend for the oversight, seeing as women fucking rock. So this edition of Grousing The Aisles focuses on five acts that are led by women. Long live Vagina!
Bonnie Raitt 09/14/85 SBD (FLAC):
Every note Bonnie Raitt sings or plays has an incredibly sexy yet raw tone. She is an intense performer who empties the tank at every gig. Before Raitt hit the big time with the success of Nick of Time, the Queen of Blues headed out on tour with an incredible backing band featuring Ivan Neville in 1985. This show from the Santa Cruz County Fair sounds incredible and features scorching renditions of Tell Me Something Good, Lively Up Yourself and Love Me Like A Man. Oh the things I’d do to Bonnie Raitt, the sexiest 57-year-old alive.
