In 2006 I saw My Morning Jacket, Common, Sigur Ros, Mogwai, Eagles Of Death Metal, Deerhoof, Massive Attack, Depeche Mode , Atmosphere, Tool, Sleater-Kinney, Bloc Party, Ted Leo, Dungen and Daft Punk . Weren't these two scheduled at the same time? Almost. I caught the first 20 minutes of Depeche Mo...

Like I mentioned in my recent Elton John post, you kind of had to be there. A song called God Of Thunder sung by a man in spiky armor with a demon's face and a long pointy tongue who spit up blood and breathed fire while playing a bass guitar shaped like a bloody axe was absolutely MINDBLOWINGLY co...

NC. Her albums are kind of hit or miss for me but this is probably the best thing she's ever done:

Nowadays I wouldn't be caught dead at the lame starfucker event called Coachella but once upon a time they actually had their trip together.

Those folks who weren't around may not understand how omnipresent Elton John was in the early to mid 1970s. Everyone owned at least a couple of his records. Between 1970-1975 Elton and co. cranked out nearly a dozen LPs (lavishly packaged with lyrics, photos, illustrations and booklets) and nearly t...

Not sure how it appears on the record, but Dire Straits dropped the homophobic slur in “Money for Nothing” from live performances pretty early on. It doesn’t appear in the version you hear on the radio, though it definitely did in the 80s. That's a bit daft...that line was so obviously spoken in ch...
