Aqueduct's follow-up, Or Give Me Death, feels like Terry has grown up a little bit. Instead of opening with keyboards and a drum machine, he begins with acoustic guitar and solemn piano for "Lying in the Bed I've Made," where he talks about singing sorry songs to amuse himself, feeling remorse toward himself and women he has wronged throughout the years.
This summer, two bands without ironic names have been booked to play the McCarren Pool. And some hipsters are fucking pissed about the booking. Umphrey’s McGee and the Disco Biscuits

Last week’s edition of The B List looked at some amazing performances from David Letterman’s late-night NBC and CBS shows.
But Saturday Night Live is another late-night television show that features a musical performer each week, and there’s plenty of material to pillage for this here blog. Over the past three decades, SNL has produced 423 episodes, providing us a ton of incredible moments through the years. Most compliations from SNL just show the top performances from the early days and the recent days, fully ignoring the shows that weren’t produced by Lorne Michaels.
We won’t ignore the No-Lorne years. We make you that promise. So this week’s B List presents 10 great SNL music performances from 1978-1986. Read on for some classic clips from Queen, The Clash, The Band, James Brown and many more…

Some of us count ourselves among the large fan base surrounding the entire grunge scene in Seattle back in the early 1990s. But many of us have not had the chance in a long time to hear in a live setting the Soundgarden and Temple of the Dog song catalogs we knew well…until Monday night.
On the fifth stop of his short pre-album release tour, Chris Cornell and his band strolled out onto the stage at the Venue Formally Known as Irving Plaza around 9:20. And from the second Chris & Co. hit the stage, it was obvious the Manhattan crowd planned to show Cornell that the true center of the concert universe is 2,900 miles from his home.
