by Polly Bresnick Etta James, who passed away last week, could not only sing with searing soul that simultaneously strikes fear and sorrow and strength into the hearts of anyone who hears her voice, but she also bridged the gap between R&B and Rock & Roll back when people were still impressed by that kind of feat, way back when a band of light-skinned black girls was called the "Creolettes," way back when the song title "Roll With Me Henry" was so suggestive for a fourteen-year-old girl to sing, that the title was changed for [...]

Very cool to see that the release of From Straight To Bizarre: Zappa, Beefheart, Alice Cooper and La's Lunatic Fringe , coming out on DVD February 21st. You probably already know the story, but if you don't get a preview below as taken from the press release. Once upon a time Frank Zappa wanted to remove himself from his original deal with Verve Records. In 1968 he set up the Bizarre and Straight labels with manger Herb Cohen, and began a string of releases which long removed from their context in time still remain strange and [...]

If you take your girlfriend out to the middle of the woods to fuck in her dad's camper, don't crank Alice Cooper so loud you can't hear here screaming for her life, okay? Also, use a condom. Safety first, kids.

While out Christmas shopping for the family I decided to take a break from the nightmare of department stores to seek refuge in the local record shop. I needed to get something for my friend Vinny who lives just a few blocks away from me. A couple times a month he lets me come over and we pretend it's 1982 and take turns playing LP sides on his massive stereo. He also is nice enough to allow me to raid his liquor cabinet and refrigerator throughout the course of the evening so I wanted to get something to say thanks [...]

Yeah, that's Nancy Reagan. No, this is not Photoshopped. Editor's Note: More recycling of past blog posts, gotta conserve this Christmas! How many shopping days left until Christmas? Not enough, that's for sure. The holiday season isn't about shopping anyway, it's about hanging around with people you like and, in the case of most of our families, a few people you don't like. It's about giving but it isn't about begging. And it's not about the TV commentators who are so afraid white Jesus isn't represented enough in Christmas celebrations. [...]

Filed under: News , Exclusive , Television , New Releases VH1 Classic There is not much Banger Films' Sam Dunn and Scot McFayden Juno-winning directors don't know about metal. The Canadian filmmakers began their historical and psychological dig into the oft maligned music genre with the intelligent and respectful ' Metal: A Headbanger's Journey ' in 2005 and followed it with the socio-political culture-crossing ' Global Metal ' in 2008.

Though Kevin Costner has provided me with a wealth of knowledge when it comes to surviving apocalyptic scenarios involving water and lack of mail delivery in Waterworld and The Postman , respectively, he's offered no cinematic advice for dealing with the undead. Fortunately, Norman Reedus has become a fine role model to me for how best to navigate a zombie apocalypse through his portrayel of the crossbow-wielding, squirrel-gutting, walker-slaying, Southern redneck anti-hero Daryl Dixon in The Walking Dead . (and he's Zen) Norman Reedus is new to me. [...]

The way metalheads describe him, Lou Reed is some sort of excavated relic from the Paleozoic era. Yes, I know you don't like Lulu, but for fuck's sake, the guy isn't just some hobo Lars Ulrich found on the street begging for change and warning the world about Y2K. Reed's the rock and roll animal, [...]
