I will start with “School,” as it rocks the bells in so many ways that I am hardly alive any longer. The riff is like some bizarre Beatles deal and mingled with an odd bluesy Hendrix-like solo, if you will. The lyrics are a simple mantra about the supposed demonic Hell that is High School? I love the fact that it is simple and to the point, like quite a lot in the Nirvana Riff Rock catalog. The

Whether it be Soop Grooves or Metronomic Undergrounds, dada was born to shake tush with the undies all up around the ankles. Stereolab in a live setting is greatly different from their polished Pop efforts that appear on disc and LP, and sometimes even the rare cassette tape. What would one call it in a live setting? Trance Rock? No doubt a hint of German experimentalism, but Stereolab has always

Gonna make it quick because it is directly from the source, needless to say, Weezer Nation stay true to the Word of Cuomo, because woe unto you who disobeys…Read the following:Album 6 is getting ready for mixing and I have never been so excited about a project in my life. Weezer fans truly have something to look forward to. The entire band has accomplished some of its most challenging goals as a

I realize that I have discussed this film soundtrack before in some previous blog entries that mentioned my favorite movie scores, but this is a film soundtrack that deserves a spotlight entirely of its own accord. Not only is Stanley Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon one of the greatest films in the history of World Cinema, but it is also one of the most brilliant blends of the visual image mingled with

Like any civilized human being, I spent my Wednesday, October 10 2007, checking my inbox for a download link. Thank goodness that expensive disc box comes with a download as well.It was late Wednesday night that I barged into my dear brother's bedroom, woke him up and brutally demanded to know what had been done with the iPod USB wire he'd borrowed from me.

Please note this is not satire. It's OK to really enjoy something, even in 2007. It's OK to even get slightly insane and start ranting like a lunatic just because something is just that damn good. Of course just like Horselover Fat it's alright to poke fun at yourself for being insane too. Or at least appearing to be insane, but you know, really, you're not insane. You're right on target with

One of the best Rock records of the ‘90’s, and you simply do not stop! Honestly, you do not stop at all. Jon Spencer came from Pussy Galore, his body you ultimately want to explore. What can be said about one of the most underrated records in the history of Rock? Quite a lot, to be perfectly honest, my darling daughter; so check this shit out, baby! I got the blues!

Radiohead have announced on their website that their newest album In Rainbows will be available for download in 10 days (October 10, 2007.) Apparently they are bypassing all record labels (at least for now.)You can also pre-order a discbox version (which comes with the ability to download the album.)The discbox version includes a CD and 2 X 12 inch heavyweight vinyl records.

What I am generally hearing here is something religious and humorous and witty. The piano style on the whole sounds like something heard in a parlor of the American West. There is a sense of longing and wanting to belong to something specific, but as to what that something is exactly is rather difficult to decipher. The melodic lines are rather easy to follow and the voice is natural and soft and

It is complicated, it’s audience narrow and its lifespan is greatly limited. I find it to be highly un-enjoyable on the whole, but yet it still chooses to exist regardless. Novelty music, Comedy Rock, advertising jingles, call it what you wish (but just don’t call me late for supper). I can’t stand Tenacious D, they mean nothing to me. An Adam Sandler CD is not for me; I would much rather climb

How does one make believe exactly? Read a little Lewis Carroll? Step into a hot bath with the ghost of Orson Welles Future? No, none of the above! One simply listens to this fantasically underrated masterpiece by none other than Weezer. It takes loads of guts to create such an effort that goes against the grain, and that could have easily appeared on the soundtrack to “Top Gun.” Rivers Cuomo

Radiohead's 7th album is due to come out "sometime in 2008." It's been reported that the album is completely recorded and in the mixing/mastering stages now. Radiohead has not released an album since 2003's Hail To The Thief.What follows are some of the songs that are rumored to be on the album with (with live performances of each.)Potential LP 7 Songs:"All I Need""Arpeggi""Bangers 'n' Mash""

Perhaps it was mentioned not too long ago in my generalized Weezer article about some upcoming works for the year of our Lord 2008, rumor has it that this is looking quite likely indeed, as my article title clearly indicates like all get out. Weezer’s longtime manservant Karl has been quite active with the band in sunny Southern California as they are apparently laying down some impressive new

This is a record like no other and not dissimilar to Sonic Youth’s epic “Bull in the Heather” and I must admit that a part-time job at Pizza Hut would be far superior, like when Veruca Salt simply could not help but fight the “Seether.” It is true that Crispin Glover’s singing and speaking voice are not dissimilar to that of the great comedic talent Emo Philips, but really, what can one

Is it any wonder that the Baroque period in Classical music largely ended with the birth of Mozart? You don’t need to answer this musical question that I pose; all I ask of you is to ponder it. The Baroque era consisted largely of rather busy compositions, or if you will, counterpoint. I am no expert musicologist in the field, but I am a sincere fan. Now then, observe my selections for you, and

Nothing wrong with being pretentious or pompous, as it is just a rather inflated sign of self-respect; oh my lonely little brothers and only pimps. I will say that the Post-Punk and New Wave genres have some incredibly inventive Rock-based music in their respective lexicon, absolutely no question about it. And while I have discussed the virtues of Joy Division and Public Image Limited in the

She was a strange child, she liked her salsa mild; but it seems to me that she would look quite profound in designer jeans, quite profound indeed. Suzanne Vega’s debut sounds like an elderly woman tinkering with some demo tunes on analog 4-track tape, and all this despite the fact that her period is late; meaning that she could easily go from gay to straight. Word up now, exactly? Well, her

It is rough, you know? And if you hear something late at night, some kind of trouble or some kind of fight; please don’t ask me what it was. Suzanne Vega is like a genuine Folk lady, her favorite Beck song is “Nicotine & Gravy.” She is like a pretty pixie creature to this day, despite the fact of what the newspapers say (and coincidently, all this despite the fact that my babysitter is gay).
