Filed under: News , Video , Exclusive Gino DePinto, AOL Marky Ramone has one of those old-school Brooklyn accents you just don't hear among younger people in the city anymore. Just listen to the way he pronounces the word "pasta" -- it's definitely not "pah-stah."

Filed under: News , New Music , In House Gino DePinto, AOL When Marky Ramone and Andrew W.K. stopped by our New York office to discuss their upcoming Blitzkrieg tour, we had an idea: What if Andrew conducted the interview instead of us?

It's unfortunate that The Everly Brothers aren't as fawned upon by the current generation of music fans as the acts that were heavily influenced by them. The duo, who are arguably the most successful recording duo of all-time, were known for their close harmony singing which fused early rock and roll with country and folk, and have been name checked by everyone from Simon & Garfunkel to The Beach Boys to The Beatles. As a way of paying homage to the work of Phil and Don Everly, the duo of Bonnie "Prince" Billy and Dawn McCarthy , [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-05T18:38:59+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4872967/andrew-wk-talks-playtex-wipes-with-marky-ramone-exclusive/

Marky is taking that band on tour this October, but what's most interesting is that for this tour lead vocals will be handled by Andrew WK .

Every nine months or so, I visit the back room of a restaurant in a suburb of Kansas City to hear musicians play an oddly stifled but nonetheless appealing version of Dixieland and traditional jazz. I'd attend more often if the technically masterful musicians attempted to fuse Dixieland's wild polyphony with more progressive concepts. That's precisely what clarinetist Ben Goldberg and cohorts including saxophonist Joshua Redman and trumpeter Ron Miles do on Subatomic Particle Homesick Blues . I construe the recording as Dixieland filtered through Oliver Nelson, Thelonious Monk [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-02T10:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4865268/andrew-wk-the-face-of-playtexs-new-sex-napkins/
