Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Video After lining up for a few hours, several hundred MGMT fans got to see the New York psych-quintet up close and personal Tuesday night in the historic Ed Sullivan Theatre. The band had taped a performance on the ' Late Show With David Letterman ' earlier, but instead of calling it a night, they played a nine-song set as a part of the "Live on Letterman" concert series, a coast-to-coast simulcast on select CBS radio stations and streamed on the [...]
This is easily one of the best executed ads I've seen in a long time. Simple idea, perfect song, great advert. The track in question is Fyfe Dangerfield covering Billy Joel 's Always A Woman . [mp3] Fyfe Dagerfield - Always A Woman (Billy Joel Cover) [2]
KING CHARLES We may have been in the midst of a general election here in the UK over recent weeks, but it's the aristocracy that are getting our vote today. Not only is this King Charles one fly looking motherfucker, seemingly dressed like the offspring of Amy Winehouse and that other artist adorned with a royal moniker, Prince . Fortunately the musical genes were successfully passed down, as he's also adopted their genuine ability to pen a well crafted tune. In fact his songs punch way above many of the current pretenders to [...]
The other day I saw The Culture of Me post YouTube video for John Lewis' new commercial "Never Knowingly Undersold." In the ad, Fyfe Dangerfield's (of The Guillemots) rendition of Billy Joel's "She's Always A Woman" was used. The track sounds incredibly similar to the original but is just as endearing. A perfect representation of [...]
John Lewis, the retail super-chain in the United Kingdom, has this excellent new advertisement they're running now that features the life and times of a woman as she ages, surrounded by products and apparel throughout her days and years. It's...
Filed under: News , I Fought the Law On Monday, a judge sentenced Natavia Lowery to a prison term of 27 years to life for the murder of her boss, one-time Ramones manager Linda Stein (pictured). According to the Huffington Post , the judge called Lowery "almost inhuman" during sentencing, while Lowery continued to appear unapologetic, insisting on her innocence and announcing her intention to appeal. As Spinner previously reported , in February a jury found Lowery guilty of second-degree murder for bludgeoning [...]

Perusing the handbill for the 2010 Tribeca Film Festival , one can't help but notice the degree of music related content prevalent throughout this year's festival. From high profile documentaries, to risqué themed narratives, to films with excellent soundtrack material, the Tribeca Film festival provides music-loving film buffs with plenty to ponder seeing. Since few folks actually have the time and energy to really dig into the festival in great depth, we thought we'd give a brief rundown of some of the compelling content to be on [...]

Filed under: The Hit List Every musician has to start somewhere, and few can look back on their early careers without a hint of embarrassment. But at times their humble musical beginnings are so drastically different from what we know today, it borders on the ridiculous. Here are a dozen artists who needed a second chance to get it right after a false start. Billy Joel: Psychedelic Metal God Before he became [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Patti Smith has a polite request next time you see her in concert: put away the mobile devices. "A lot of people spend a lot of time taping, taking pictures, talking on the phone and sometimes, for me as a performer, I'd like us all to be more engaged in the moment," she told Spinner at the ASCAP Pop Music Awards on Wednesday night. "Usually that happens along the line."
By Ben Apatoff Music enthusiasts may know ATTILA as a terrible psychedelic rock band from the late '60s. They're deservedly absent from most people's minds, and remembered only (if at all) because their organ player was BILLY JOEL. Allmusic.com describes the band's one record as "undoubtedly is the worst album released in the history of rock ...
A nice, quick, catchy jam right here from Das Racist, a up and coming group out of Brooklyn that flips Billy Joel's "Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)"...I always knew it as "You Oughta Know By Now", but whatever. Just takes 2:56 of your time, and it makes a solid addition to your iTunes library. Not sure what to expect from these guys in the future; they look like a bunch of goons...but I like the track. Download: Das Racist - You Oughta Know [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive With Green Day 's 'American Idiot' hitting the Broadway stage it's no wonder that the Flaming Lips have jumped on the rock-album-turned-musical bandwagon. Frontman Wayne Coyne, who recently discussed turning their 2002 album 'Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots' into a Broadway musical, says he's not surprised that rock music has found a second home on the Great White Way. "I knew some of the songs from that Green Day record because they were [...]

A little over a month ago I posted the Boom! Boom boom, cha! ("Be My Baby" Drum Intro) Mix and I've been overjoyed with the great response it's been getting. As I said before, the Phil Spector -penned / Ronettes -performed "Be My Baby" intro is possibly the most iconic drum beat in pop music and has been used in a number of variations by artists time and time again. Using both your additions from the last post and some of my own research, I've compiled 18 more songs with the "boom, boom boom, [...]
Despite some initial hiccups , the "Face 2 Face" tour featuring legendary piano men Billy Joel and Elton John went on to recover nicely when the whole thing was shifted to early this year . But now that the two's most recent tour together (they've danced this dance in 1994 and 2003) is kaput, Sir Elton was seemingly out of things to do. That's all changed now as the more flamboyant of the two will spend his spring touring the States . In an interview with Chicago's WGN-TV last [...]
