Showing 15247 - 15268 of 27038DFactor Does The Train Tracks, Calls for Deregulation
DFactor, the man behind Waved Rumor, does The Train Tracks this week, singing his libertarian anthem “Too Much Regulation.” Unfortunately, Ron Paul and Antonin Scalia canceled plans to sing backup at the last minute. Kidding aside, I liked this song better before the BP oil spill. Maybe a few laws…
Lady Gaga, Rise Against, Disturbed Join Korn’s BP Boycott. Oh, Yes, and Creed Too!
When news of Korn’s boycott of BP broke last week it sorta looked like a joke. I mean, at first, it was pretty much just marble-mouthed Jonathan David, his band and fellow 90s-refugees Backstreet Boys.Now, well, the lineup is not awesome or anything, but it’s getting better. One huge, relevant…
Miley Cyrus’ Vajayjay Can’t Tame Perez Hilton
Everyone breathe a collective sigh of relief: Perez Hilton isn’t going anywhere. Or maybe you want to bash your head in a wall. Regardless, the pink-loving celebrity blogger got himself in quite the predicament this week after he posted a picture of the new Britney Spears, aka Miley Cyrus, on…
GBH at The Clubhouse
British hardcore punk rockers GBH name stands for “grievous bodily harm”. While attendance at any punk show poses some threat of injury, what with mosh pits, angry teens, spiked belts, and extreme mohawks, the risk at last night’s GBH show was a little higher.Locals Casket Life and Glass Heroes opened…

A Post to Promote Charlie Brand’s Solo Show at The Heard Museum (and My Review of Fortress)
As far as I know, my review of Miniature Tigers’ new record Fortress is the first professional piece printed on the formerly-of-Phoenix band’s sophomore effort.I would have waited a few weeks to run it, actually, but for the fact that singer Charlie Brand is playing a solo acoustic show at…
The Maine Makes Commercial for Nile Theatre Show on August 27
The Maine is advancing its show at the soon-to-be-reopened Nile Theatre with this little commercial. The most interesting revelations are: 1. The singer, John O’Callaghan has apparently cut his hair much shorter than we’re used to seeing in the band’s familiar promo shots. 2. O’Callaghan says The Nile was the…

Six Reasons Fox’s Glee Is Infuriating
The recent news that Fox’s hit high school music-drama Glee will use some of Coldplay’s music for future episodes made me honestly wonder what planet the show’s producers live on.Now, I am not just some curmudgeonly young man who has never watched the show and who hates musicals and other productions…
Thoughts on Dave Brookhouser’s List of “Non-Suck” Local Bands?
The CenPho.TV team is very popular with New Times, not only because of all the fun, positive stuff they say and do, but because they’re one of the few local blogger-type outlets that’ll let someone have it.So we have Dave Brookhouser’s list of local bands that don’t suck. Thus, it…

Flier of the Week: The Love Me Nots at Martini Ranch
Anyone who’s ever loved someone and not had it returned knows it sucks. “I love you not” is just not something you want to hear. Which is why this poster for The Love Me Nots’ show this Friday, June 18 at Martini Ranch is so influential. The woman just ripped the guy’s…
American Negro Aim to Bridge the Gap Between Indie Hip-Hop and Mainstream Rap — And They’re Doing It “Imageless”
In rap music’s formative years of the 1980s and early ’90s, being a fan of hip-hop was often an all-or-nothing affair. Two decades ago, it wasn’t unusual for a rap fan to listen to gangsta rap pioneers N.W.A. or Ice-T one minute, then throw in a cassette by conscious rappers…
Cake
Long before Ke$ha was making waves with her brand of sing-talk, Cake was tearing up the charts thanks to frontman John McCrea’s rap-like style of sing-talking. Remember Cake, the Sacramento, California-based band whose music is filled with wordplay and whimsical lyrics? Sure, it’s been a while, but if you listen…

LeAnn Rimes
It’s kinda tough to measure someone’s success as an adult when that person attained international fame at age 13. Child prodigy LeAnn Rimes earned the respect of the country music world at an early age, frequently being compared to Patsy Cline, and reaching number 10 on the Billboard Country Chart…
Raining and OK
The way Raining and OK lead singer Trevor Tillery remembers it, making music for the first time was much like taking a leak after an all-day Pabst bender. “I felt like I had these songs in me for years, and they all burst out of me at once because I…

Erykah Badu
Though considered the leading female voice of the neo-soul movement, you could say Erykah Badu pretty much transcends musical genres, taking on hip-hop, pop, soul and even the occasional jazz track without seeming out of her comfort zone. After a five-year hiatus, she re-emerges with New Amerykah Part Two (Return…
Fight Club Sadisco*
May Tyler forgive us, but we’re about to break rules number one and two: Squalor, 5arah, ///she//, and the other twisted turntablists of Sadisco* are returning to Jugheads, 5110 East McDowell Road, this weekend for some fisticuffs and frenetic fun. The demented DJ collective is presenting its annual Fight Club…
Miniature Tigers
The first Miniature Tigers record, Tell It To The Volcano, was probably an over-share. Sure, frontman Charlie Brand did a great job of couching his heartbreak in stories about some Lost-like tropical netherworld, but it didn’t take a working knowledge of Freud to understand that the “Cannibal Queen” Brand spoke…

Who Is Edward Sharpe?
As the only 10-piece evangelical rock tribe in the history of the universe to publicly arouse the curiosity of Jay Z, Beyoncé Knowles, and the assorted occupants of the couple’s four-Escalade entourage, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes have some questions to answer. For starters: Who, or what, is Edward…
