One benefit of not selling your soul to Satan: Eventually, you’ll end up playing keytar while your 6-foot-something frontman shimmies across the stage like Neil Diamond on stilts. If you don’t know, according to rock lore, in the late 1960s three-fourths of Led Zeppelin (allegedly) struck a deal with the devil in exchange for global mega-stardom. [...] Related posts: Live Review: Regina...
Here is my evidence. I was at a family campout summer event over the weekend with about 300 other people. This is an annual fundraising event hosted by a family who have a huge rural property just north of Auckland, New Zealand. It's good fun. Now the local primary school's music teacher is an accomplished drummer and his very good band treated us to various rock standards (e.g. Sweet Home Alabama,...
Over the course of 10 years, Zero 7 has canvassed more musical territory than most groups cover in their entire careers. The group was born in the recording studio, where co-founders Sam Hardaker and Henry Binns made their names as two of the United Kingdom's most sought-after producers. After working on material for the likes of Radiohead and Robert Plant, they launched their own project in 1999....
Celebrity pill popper Nicole Richie is back in the hospital. Now if you'll recall Nic had quite a fondness for the pharmaceuticals. Back in her heyday she's pop 50 soma and 50 vicodin per day. She cleaned up her act after she got pregnant. We were all very proud of her. Then some time back nix got into a minor car accident. Now that's the most dangerous and vulnerable time for a pill popper, for obvious...
The second night of Butch Walker’s month-long Wednesday night residency at Hollywood’s Hotel Café was quite a bit of a party. I’ve lived in LA for close to a year now, but I still get excited at celebrity sightings, and Butch’s collection of famous friends did not disappoint me in the slightest. In attendance that [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News The Dead Weather played a tiny Brooklyn, N.Y. club Tuesday night as a precursor to their taping of the mtvU Woodie Awards. While the TV show will only feature one song, 'Treat Me Like Your Mother,' the band warmed themselves up with a 75-minute set at the cozy Music Hall of Williamsburg. A rigorous touring schedule this past year has proved that Jack White ,...
Having a lovely discussion in the car on the way to play board games in Hemel Hempstead last night, my pal Richard and myself got to discussing gigs from the past. There was a little bit of stag-like 'facing off' in terms of 'coolest gig' etc, but in general we were good natured and I was not forced to yank the steering wheel from his hands and drive us into the hedge in frustration and/or jealousy....
In line with Ben's proposed review of recent music, here is NPR's list of the "most important recordings" of the decade. I, for one, can't help but notice two things: 1) the noughties were an excellent time for music (perhaps superior to the 90s'), and 2) NFTM has been all over most of this shit. 01. John Adams: On The Transmigration Of Souls 02. Animal Collective: Merriweather Post Pavilion...
We're headlong into gift-giving season, so feel free to make your year-end list, as it's no mans land as far as quality releases. That being said, there are a couple albums that provide more than stocking fodder. The Led Zep/Queens of the Stone Age/Foo Fighters supergroup Them Crooked Vultures doesn't disappoint, and Macca's got a live album that aims to please. Elsewhere, it's mostly meh in new releases...
Band biographer claims that DJs only played the now classic song because it was the 'perfect length' for a cigarette break Was the secret to Stairway to Heaven's success the fact that it gave DJs the chance to nip out for a cigarette? That's the theory of Led Zeppelin biographer Charles R Cross, who claims that 100 radio presenters "literally ... swore" that they aired the now classic tune...
