Sarah Jaffe was sort of an indie-folk type, but just broke her mold with “Glorified High“ a sticky, muddy, electro-infused dance rock tune: (Embedding is turned off on this track which is stupid – click link above to visit)
British sisters comprise the braintrust of 2:54. “You’re Early” rocks just enough to catch my attention amid [...]
Probably not. But “You and Whose Army” is an anthem to rally around the libertarian Texas Congressman. Newt Gingrich is an animal – a fucking pig. Newt made millions skimming off the bank engineered housing bubble that wrecked our economy.
Mit Romney probably fired your dad at some point. Romney earns 57k a day off investments. [...]
You can call this post a filler if you want – I do – but it is actually interesting to see which videos of the hundreds I’ve captured have the most views.
My videos are far from professionally shot. Most are done with a Canon Powershot from just about any vantage I could get. The video [...]
Representatives from Orlando Health and the Arnold Palmer Medical Center along with founders of the new rock music festival, Orlando Calling (including Festival Republic’s CEO Melvin Benn), and the ubiquitous Joey Fatone gathered at Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children today to release some great news. The Orlando Calling event donated 10-large to benefit the Music [...]

The core of the Smashing Pumpkins was the telepathic relationship between Jimmy Chamberlin and Billy Corgan. On one hand there is a grandiose and ambitious songwriter and guitarist and on the other, a pummeling and incredibly dynamic drummer. Avalanches of howling guitar shift suddenly into waves of shimmering melody and back again. A drummer whose [...]
Ol’ Merle – aka The Okie from Muskogee – is one of the last real outlaws; country musicians with true grit and balls. Merle along with Willie, Waylon, Johnny, Coe, Kristofferson, Williams (Sr., Jr., and now carried on by Tricephus), Shaver, and a handful of others defined country music as the soundtrack of the outlaw, a [...]
Bass players always get shit and it is generally because the average music listener isn’t enthralled with the thudding hum of the bass line. Musicians and music nerds know that the bass locks with the drums to lay the foundation for everything on top of it, but this isn’t a crusade to bring respect to [...]
