As I was finishing up Barker and Taylor's Faking It last night, and started Simon Reynolds Rip It Up and Start Again: Postpunk 1978-1984 , I got to thinking more and more about the whole issue of authenticity. One of Reynolds major theses is that postpunk, unlike punk, sought to undermine ideas about authenticity as it consciously merged a variety of musical styles, believing that the destructive aspects...
Sometimes something (that you might or might not call a work of art) has something unique about it, which makes it stand out, even if in some ways it seems like kitsch. That even kitsch can be valuable, is an invaluable lesson to learn; also, that absurd things can be unique. All good works of art have something to offer; but not all of us have the capacity to be artsy all the time. Art is inherently...

Emerson Lake And Palmer will headline the High Voltage Festival, the UK’s new flagship classic rock event, on Sunday, July 26, 2010. The launch of the High Voltage Festival was announced by Classic Rock’s Editor In Chief, Scott Rowley, at the Classic Rock Roll Of Honour at London’s Park Lane Hotel this past...
Zawsze zdumiewa mnie system motywacyjny jednostki ludzkiej. Nie dociśniemy śruby - i otrzymujemy tłuste couch potato . Przyciśniemy za bardzo i też niedobrze. Albo się z tego wykluje tumizwis albo jaki inny wrak co to nerwy ma stargane. Wszystko dąży do maksymalnej entropii. To niby czemu nie my. Wpadł dzisiaj Lorenzo i w dzikim szale, w cztery godziny zaorał...
Porcupine Tree, "Kneel and Disconnect" : New Porcupine Tree! It's always great to get new stuff from these guys. It's good, but it's not up to the quality of their last two albums. (But given that their last two were utterly amazing, that's not much of a criticism.) Mind Games, "Royalty in Jeopardy" : Some prog that I recently found via eMusic. They've got a sound that I describe...

Well, concerned metal fan, iTunes knows your woes, and has launced the iTunes Metal Store specifically for you. So there you go metal fan, no more wading through JoBros and Akon for you; the cool dads at Apple have proved once again, that they are the coolest dads...
I still can’t get my head around Dirty Projectors ’ madly growing popularity. Don’t get me wrong: I’m happy a band with such a thorny sound can pack a club like Neumos (I arrived just as the band were walking onstage and instantly hit a solid wall of humanity). But when you break down the group’s component parts, they don’t add up to typical ’00s commercial...

For those that emailed me about the posting on November 03rd, wanting more details about ELP reforming, the only information I have at present is as follows... Emerson, Lake And Palmer will headline the new High Voltage Festival to be held in London in July 2010. It is not known as to whether this is just a one-off ELP gig or if there will be more dates. This new festival is being co-promoted by Classic...
Early last month we learned that for the 4th year in a row Alex Lifeson is participating in The Kidney Foundation of Canada 's A Brush of Hope project. Alex Lifeson along with dozens of other Canadian celebrities have donated paintings to be auctioned off to raise money for the charity. The A Brush of Hope Gala takes place this evening at the Delta Hotel in Fredricton, NB. Paintings from over 100...
In college I took a class called The History of Progressive Rock. I did not know what Progressive Rock was at the time. I studied all sorts of cool bands like King Crimson, Rush, Yes, Pink Floyd, Dream Theater and, of course, Queensryche. I loved that course and became a huge fan of Dream Theater, Yes and Rush afterwards, but for whatever reason the music of Queensryche had never crossed my path. It’s...
Last week I posted a video of 1970s Celtic rock pioneers Horslips performing the "The Man Who Built America," and I described them as a combination of Jethro Tull, Thin Lizzy, and The Pogues. Although it's a great song, there wasn't anything Pogues-like with that tune. "High Reel" moves the needle a bit in that direction, although the feel of it is more in line with British folk...

CHICAGO (Billboard) –Genesis keyboardist Tony Banks isn't taking his tuxedo to the dry cleaner yet. But he's hoping that the British prog rockers, who are on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ballot for the first time, wind up collecting trophies at the March 15 induction ceremony in New York City. "It'll be great if it does happen," Banks tells Billboard.com, "but I can't really tell whether we're going...
