Not to be outdone by bands like Aerosmith and Van Halen that've cashed in on the popularity of music games, '80s rock group REO Speedwagon partnered with North Carolina developer Curious Sense to create a game its likeness, though don't expect to grip a guitar controller while playing this one. Find Your Own Way Home , named after the band's 2007 album, is a hidden object PC adventure in which players...
When Sean Rowley began his Guilty Pleasures night in a working mens club in Hammersmith in 2004 he could have barely envisaged the success story that it would become. A TV show, a series of compilation CD’s, DJing at festivals and a sold out residency at Koko in Camden lead to Guilty Pleasures becoming a hugely popular brand. Suddenly the shamelessly cheesy tunes which he championed, from The...
Maybe you did, but I didn’t… I didn’t much love Van Halen growing up. I wasn’t into that kind of music. I did have a poster of David Lee Roth on my closet but he was facing the door. Firstly because my heartthrob of the moment was on the other side, and secondly because Diamond Dave [...]
Bez? Bobbie Gillespie? Jedward?! Tell us who you think should lead the world's most shameless Rolling Stones tribute act Now that Steven Tyler is reported to have left Aerosmith (perhaps because he heard Danyl Johnson butcher I Don't Want to Miss a Thing on last week's X Factor ), you'd be forgiven for thinking that it was curtains for the group. Not so, says lead guitarist Joe Perry. He's already...
I was playing "Jump" by Van Halen and twittered to the effect that it is arguably the greatest record ever made. Some people took exception with the tone of people who couldn't believe that the greatest record ever made could be made by such a bunch of poodle-headed clowns rather than, say, the Stone Roses. Some challenged me to prove it. This I shall do. Pop music celebrates acting on instinct....
In a career spanning over three decades Austin, Texas based guitarist Van Wilks has forged a blazing blues rock path filled with some of the most impressive playing to be found in the genre. Lauded as one of the city's master players by both critics, fans and fellow musicians such as Eric Johnson and Billy Gibbons, the consistency of his work has made him stand out in a scene overfilled with hot guitarists...
Score! Visiting Chicago recently I snagged an exceedingly rare copy of a CD by outsider legend Jan Terri. This Windy City native was quite the sensation a decade or so ago, as I'm sure some of you may recall: after her jaw-dropping videos started making the rounds, she released two private-press CDs , started doing shows around Chicago, opened for Marilyn Manson, and appeared on Jon Stewart's Daily...
[Industry watchers say DJ Hero should give the declining music genre, dominated by band game sequels, a much-needed refresh -- but our own Leigh Alexander suggests it can't possibly have the same appeal.] Fatigued of the music genre yet? Some people must be -- sales of The Beatles: Rock Band and Guitar Hero 5 didn't measure up to predictions, and some analysts think consumers are getting tired of...
How can I begin to describe the delight that is Delightfully Tacky ? You have to love a girl who lists Winnebagos as an interest, has perfect cascading curls, great personal style, and makes living in Alaska look like a dream. The girl behind the blog was also kind enough to plan out a dream dance party complete with an epic play list. What type of party is it? Rock and Roll dance party! It would last...
So I was able to catch Van Halen’s video for (Oh) Pretty Woman last night, for the first time ever (on VH1-Classic). I liked it! Almost two minutes of pure cinema, plus a few seconds of the Samurai and Western genres. Not to mention the Godzilla-style opening logo. They were post-modern before post-modern was cool!

In a really short article, its because I left my iPod at home. To drag it out a bit, there I was stuck at work with a bad document to extensively edit/rewrite and nothing to divert my brain. Then I remembered Spotify , and, once I'd remembered my password, I was left wondering if I'd ever need anything else. In the course of six hours battling some horrific Manglish (Mandarin meets English in a way...
