January 20, 2009

Posted on January 20, 2009 at 09:43 AM

The musical celebrations in Washington, DC continued last night with a Jay-Z led throwdown at the Warner Theatre. Performing with Brooklyn's finest were Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Young Jeezy and Memphis Bleek. In da house: Samuel L. Jackson, Usher, Eric Benet and Diddy, who later was on Larry King Live. Diddy: still everywhere.

And yes, today is Inauguration Day. Read all about it in the Washington Post and the New York Times.

Let's say you win an award. And then, after you've already accepted the award, you find out that you were not the real winner. That's what happened to Katy Perry, who picked up Best International Song at the NRJ Awards, France's biggest music awards. The song in question is I Kissed A Girl, of course, but unfortunately for Katy, organizers later announced that an error had been made, and the correct winner was Rihanna for Disturbia. Embarrassing for Katy Perry. But then again, she was hanging out in Cannes, and is a big, rich star. So she'll be fine.

Paste gives us six albums to look forward to in '09. Wilco's on there, and so is Sonic Youth, whose Matador debut The Eternal is due in June. Prince also deservedly on the list. But no Dirty Projectors? Or Grizzly Bear?

Kelly Osbourne is once again in the news and once again is seeming all bratty-like. She was arrested, and then released on bail, on charges of allegedly slapping a journalist at a London nightclub last August. Why the smackdown? Said journo, Zoe Griffin of the Daily Mirror, had questioned the brainpower of Osbourne's boyfriend, Luke Worrall. Allegedly, he didn't know how earthquakes worked. Griffin wrote that in her column. And so Osboune allegedly did some slapping. And celebrity life rolls on.

MLK Day '09 - We Are One

Posted on January 19, 2009 at 11:28 AM

The point of yesterday's We Are One Inaugural Celebration Concert was not as much musical, of course, as it was simply to gather and take stock of tomorrow's Big Event. That said, the roll call of musicians was pretty impressive. Bruce Springsteen and a sizable, red-robed choir kicked things off with a gospel-like reading of The Rising (gospel influences were felt throughout the two hour show). U2 were their usual bombastic selves, performing Pride (In The Name Of Love) and also Obama campaign tune City Of Blinding Lights. Stevie Wonder, Usher and a somewhat weak-voiced Shakira delivered a joyful Higher Ground. Jon Bon Jovi and Bettye LaVette performed a quietly wondrous version of Sam Cooke's A Change Is Gonna Come. It all ended with a Beyonce-led sing-along of America The Beautiful. Ain't that America, sang John Mellencamp, for you and me? Oh, and Will.I.Am - please let that be the last time you "sing" Bob Marley's One Love.

In other U2 news, Get On Your Boots, the first single from U2's upcoming No Line On The Horizon album, is now streaming at goyb.U2.com. The track is almost arrestingly exciting, sonically, if a bit all over the place. Dry and dirty guitars well complement even drier drums. On first listen, it's definitely a more raw sound that How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb's first single Vertigo. And if this is one of the album's weaker tracks, as Vertigo was, Get On Your Boots could be a very good sign, indeed.

Notorious, the movie about the life of Biggie Smalls, is drawing some of the same, well, notoriety as its subject did: Four men were stabbed at the movie premiere's official afterparty at a club in Brooklyn.

Britney's Back, Again

Posted on November 25, 2008 at 10:27 AM

What's the most shocking part of this Britney Spears cover story in the new Rolling Stone? Is it the fact that she feels like "an old fart"? Or perhaps the revelation that it was Kevin Federline who initiated the breakup of their marriage? Maybe it's that her assistant and a minion of manager Larry Rudolph accompanies her on dates? Actually, it's the cover photo, in which Britney looks healthy, fit and NOT CRAZY. Or rather, it's a tie between the cover photo and the creepy dating-chaperoning thing.

Ever heard of rapper/producer John Forte? He worked with the Fugees. He was arrested in 2000 with $1.4 million worth of liquid cocaine. He was convicted, and went to jail. And now, he's getting out of jail, thanks to a presidential pardon from the outgoing George W. Bush. That's right - President Bush is pardoning a hip-hop producer convicted of possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. Why? Intense lobbying by Carly Simon and her son, who went to Phillips Exeter Academy with Forte. BTW, Bush went to Phillips Andover Academy. The old boys network now extends to drug dealer music producers. Good to know.

Guess who wasn't excited about the release of Chinese Democracy by Guns n' Roses? The Chinese. Apparently, they had never heard of it. But they know about it now. And they're not too happy about that title, or about lyrics referring to banned-in-China spiritual group Falun Gong. Or about artwork which includes a painting depicting Chinese as powerless. The BBC spoke to foreign military spokesman Qin Gang, who noted that "According to my knowledge, a lot of people don't like this kind of music because it's too noisy and too loud." The Chinese government may not have heard Chinese Democracy, but their sources certainly have.

R.I.P. MC Breed, who died on Saturday in Ypsilanti, MI as a result of kidney failure: He worked with Too Short on several albums, both as a rapper and a ghostwriter. A chance meeting with Tupac Shakur in a tattoo parlor led to the single “Gotta Get Mine,” which became a hit in 1993. That year Mr. Breed also appeared, alongside Ice Cube and Dr. Dre, on a characteristically wacky George Clinton song, “Paint the White House Black.”

Movin' Out

Posted on October 17, 2008 at 10:37 AM

The rockin' for Obama continued last night, in the form of a Billy Joel/Bruce Springsteen supergroup at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom. The event was a high-priced fundraiser, with some tickets going for $10,000, so the entertainment had better be good. According to Rolling Stone, Springsteen and E Streeters Patti Scialfa and Roy Bittan joined Joel and his band for a rotating setlist of Springsteen and Joel classics. Born To Run, Allentown, Glory Days, River Of Dreams... all played. Joel's "Just The Way You Are" sadly not.

Guess who's back? Eminem. Listen to Eminem's new "I'm Having A Relapse."

Looks like Dr. Pepper is keeping its (his?) word: If Chinese Democracy comes out this calendar year, everyone in America will get a free can of Dr. Pepper.

Who Says You Can Use Who Says You Can't Go Home?

Posted on October 16, 2008 at 09:16 AM

Add Bon Jovi to the list of artists who are pissed over that McCain/Palin is using their music at rallies. The band's tune "Who Says You Can't Go Home" has been used at recent Sarah Palin rallies. Jon ain't happy: "Although we were not asked, we do not approve of their use of 'Home.'" Got it. Bon Jovi joins a list of upset, accidental Repub soundtrack-supporting musicians that includes Heart and Jackson Browne. Unfortunately, ASCAP, the publisher of all the songs in question, employs a blanket fee for public performance for many artists at once, meaning that there is little these artists can do. Except complain loudly and make their opinions heard.

Yesterday, we told you about how Ringo Starr will stop reading and answering fan mail. The guy's getting old... leave him be! Now he has to go and explain himself. He shouldn't have to. Trivia question: What is the only Beatles song to contain a drum solo? Answer below.

Oh hey this band Guns n' Roses has a new album coming out (finally! LOLZ) and you can pre-order it here. There's vinyl if you want. Also a few different album covers. Only one there now, though. Welcome to the jungle, blah blah blah blah blah.

To Be Born Again

Posted on October 2, 2008 at 09:38 AM

We knew this moment would come: Phish, the mega-selling jam quartet from Vermont, is reuniting after four years of retirement. The announcement came yesterday, and included news of three dates this March in Hampton, Virginia. Hampton, and its Hampton Coliseum, was the site of the Phish live album Hampton Comes Alive. It was also where the Grateful Dead, in 1989, played two "secret shows" and brought back old faves like Dark Star and Attics of My Life to the live show. Apparently, Phish felt they needed to find some magic in the very same Coliseum. Whether they did or not is hard to say, but there will certainly be plenty of people psyched for the these, and the subsequent, yet-to-be-announced, shows.

Bruce Springsteen has added another date to his Obama Tour - a show in Philadelphia's Ben Franklin Parkway this Saturday, October 4th, that is free to all residents of Pennsylvania. If you want to pay a little money to see Bruce, then save your shekels for the $500 minimum show at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom that Bruce is playing with, erm Billy Joel. That goes down on October 16.

Irish soul mystic Van Morrison will perform his 1968 album Astral Weeks in its entirety on November 7 and 8 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. It is no stretch to say that this album is one of the greatest albums made in the rock era.

Captain Timberlake and Tennille Biel

Posted on September 19, 2008 at 10:45 AM

If you've got a girl and you want to impress her, there are several options available. You can surprise her with flowers and gifts, you can taker her out to a nice dinner... or you can write and produce an album for her. The latter is currently going down in the Justin Timberlake/Jessica Biel relationship. And by "for" her we mean this is HER album. Plus, Justin has recorded most of the backing vocals. A snappy name like Timberlake and Biel and they could be this generation's Captain and Tennille.

OutKast's Andre 3000 has been acting, but that doesn't mean he hasn't been thinking about music. In fact, he should have a solo album by the end of this year or early next. Also, he's a fan of Woody Harrelson and thinks Woody would have "shared his stash." Hmmm.

Remember how Lindsay Lohan wanted to stump for Barack Obama, and the Obama camp was all, 'No thanks'? Michael Lohan, Lindsay's dad, had some stuff to say about Obama. And it wasn't nice.

Another entry in Fuseblog's series Great Moments in Awesomeness: Brian Wilson performs That Lucky Old Sun and one verse and a chorus of California Girls in the newest Black Cab Session. Yes, the performance takes place in the back of a London black cab.

Chrissie Hynde: Thumbs Up, Candace Bushnell: Thumbs Down

Posted on September 18, 2008 at 02:05 PM

Normally, we keep things fairly music-oriented around here, but is this not completely lame? Sex and the City person Candace Bushnell is writing two teen novels about Carrie Bradshaw's formative years. As Carrie would write, Candace is going back to the well, a well that can be found at the corner of 59th Street and Milking It Avenue. Seriously Candace, stop it. Just stop milking it and just... stop. </rant>

Barack Obama's campaign has turned down Lindsay Lohan's offer to help with any public appearances and stumping they might need. The move risks alienating the youth drunk driver demographic.

And on the other side, Ted Nugent, guitarist, rocker, average to below average songwriter (especially following the Amboy Dukes years), right wing activist, George W. Bush buddy and avid hunter and fisherman, wrote a letter of support to Sarah Palin.

Yes, there is a rock god: The Pretenders will be releasing their first album in six years this fall.
