My concerns are more than some sensationalistic ballyhoo. They are more than some flimsy, baseless caterwauling from someone possessed by the spirit of a carnival barker, newsstand tabloid, or Republican pundit. No, I fear that, sadly, there is considerable truth behind it. Like many people, I have been a fan of the award-winning thespian, but I now realize that I might have been lulled into a false sense of admiration. I used to look at him as a kindly fellow – compassionate and wise. I mean, if he wasn't [...]
Remember when baths used to be fun? When it was some sort of miniature ocean, or at least a giant puddle you could splash around in. Take a step back and a bath is essentially a luke-warm cauldron of your own filth. Did I ruin baths for you now? Mini-Mansions take it one step forward, turning a bath into some sort of grim, bloody, and colorful circus in water. The entire vibe is all too perfect for their irresistibly creepy cover of the Blondie classic "Heart Of Glass". Their rendition is already dimly sensual, sliding down a thin line of [...]

Johnny Cash, legendary American singer and songwriter, would have celebrated his 80th birthday today. But even though he's been gone for nearly a decade, his adventurous music and ground-breaking style continue to echo. His impact on songwriting extends well beyond the genres usually associated with his work — country, folk, rockabilly and blues — as artists of all stripes have revived or revamped his classics over the years. One of Cash's most enduring tunes, "Ring of Fire", for example, has been covered by everyone from R&B legend Ray Charles to New Wave rockers Blondie. We've rounded up six surprisingly pop-leaning [...]
"Hi, it's Deb. You know, when I woke up this morning I had a realization about myself. I was always Blondie. People always called me Blondie, ever since I was a little kid. What I realized is that at some point I became Dirty Harry. I couldn't be Blondie anymore, so I became Dirty Harry." Debbie Harry, NYC, 1976 – Image © Bob Gruen [...]

Hugh Cornwell and Glen Matlock are likely household names at your place if there's a studded leather jacket somewhere in your garage -- or you own the Snatch soundtrack. For everyone else, this is a
No, this isn't that television show that your father used to watch. For those who haven't seen or heard about this movie, it takes place in beautiful San Francisco and documents the lives of a few couriers. They are on fixed gears riding at extremely high speeds in a very hilly and commonly congested city, so this movie is exciting all of the way through. I'll post a trailer to show what's going on, but damn, the music in this film is great. This movie is a few years old, but like I said, [...]
After an encore, as the revelers filed out toward the frigid night and the year ahead, the DJs slipped on a gentle acoustic number: a cover of Suicide's 'Dream Baby Dream" by, of all people, Bruce Springsteen. Springsteen played the song as a coda to nearly every show on his solo 2005 Devils and Dust tour. This particular version, a hypnotizing mantra-cum-lullaby-cum-benedic tion, was released on an import-only compilation right around Alan Vega's seventieth birthday. Springsteen had always liked Suicide: he was especially impressed by the story-song "Frankie Teardrop." When he was working on The [...]
![[Introducing] – Edda Magnason](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4064231_lg.jpg)
Tweet It's easy to overlook how incredible it is to be able to write even one single - they're called one-hit wonders for a reason. So it was a real surprise to me when I heard two clear winners from Edda Magnason , whose 2011 album "Goods" slipped right under the radar. Magnason calls Sweden home, but has Icelandic roots, which may immediately bring up some associations that are none too shabby. The deliciously bright [...]

Como habréis podido comprobar, hemos dejado a un lado las novedades discográficas para recordar a un grupo esencial en la historia del pop, se trata de Blondie, del que hoy veremos el video correspondiente a su canción "Union City Blue", un tema, que después de 33 años sigue sonando así de bien.
We are incredibly excited to announce that Mini Mansions will be the final band added to our upcoming show on February 4th at The Bootleg Theater ! This pych-pop trio has been an LA favorite of ours for quite some time now, and will take an already stacked show up one more notch! So, for those of you keeping score at home- we have Pratley kicking off the night, followed by Mini Mansions , all leading up to the amazing Haim sisters . Did we mention how excited we [...]

By Gabriella Arrigoni Collection: TV Party Watch more on Network Awesome Not always, actually quite seldom, is the distinction between art and absurdity a relevant one. And it certainly doesn't matter when in a TV show you combine live music, in-studio party, fancy dress, videotapes, punk, disco, anarchism, new wave, visual arts, rap, interviews, phone-in sessions, shaky camera angles, crude advertising and live drug taking. All this [...]
Mike's Top 10 Concert Photos from 2011 Mike's Top 10 Photos from 2011 Twenty-eleven was an amazing year for me with YouTellConcerts.com. I went to (and shot) more shows than I could have possibly imagined in one year. I'm a music junkie all the way, but to be a photographer up front in the photo pit armed with my camera and favorite lens...well nothing compares. It was very tough to pick my favorite ten photos out of all the thousands I took during [...]

It's almost the season to be jolly, but just before the holiday season we are in the midst of "the list." Yes music mags/zines and blogs are full of endless lists, lists about the best albums, best gigs, best songs, lists about lists. It could leave you feeling quite listless and we can't have that, so , here's our list, we've even checked it twice! Yup it's that vertigo inducing career high that results in being presented with a special VPME trophy ( known colloquially as a " Pipster " ) we therefore present the music that touched, inspired [...]
