Artist: Bruce Springsteen

Many potential Great GoogaMooga attendees were frustrated today in their efforts to sign up for free admission to the two-day food, drink and music festival , which is set to take place in Neathermead Meadow at Brooklyn's Prospect Park on May 19 and 20. Eventbrite, the company handling registration for the Brooklyn-based event, has updated the details on the sign-up page to read "Early registration is full. We apologize for the frustrations you had today in registering. If you haven't been able to register yet please email us at info@googamooga.com." There was also a note [...]

Bruce Springsteen conducts a music lesson. (Photo courtesy of SXSW) AUSTIN - Thursday's keynote address at the South by Southwest (SXSW) music conference was not conducted by Bruce Springsteen the rock star, it was delivered instead by Professor Bruce Springsteen the music historian. Springsteen, perhaps the most important rocker of his generation, showed up a half hour late while close to 2,000 conference goers lined up hours early. "Why are we here so f**king early," laughed Springsteen, when he finally appeared. "How important can this speech be if it's at noon, when most musicians [...]

Thanks to the fine folks at NPR, you can stream The Boss' big speech here . And apparently he's bringing his guitar along, so we an expect some tunes off his new album, ' Wrecking Ball .'

12000 Lune oggi perde il comando e scende alla posizione 2 della classifica album FIMI/GfK , ma ciò non significa certo che l'ondata di celebrazione della carriera di Lucio Dalla sia svanita. Anzi: i dischi del cantautore bolognese continuano a imperversare ai piani alti della chart, metà della Top-10 è "a tema" e qualcuno dei titoli addirittura migliora la performance già ottima della scorsa settimana . Solo per rimanere in zona calda , salgono Caro Amico Ti Scrivo... (14>9), Work In Progress (19>7), Dallamericaruso (16>4). Tra [...]

Bruce Springsteen Wrecking Ball Columbia Records [2012] Fire Note Says: Bruce is Bruce on the classic sounding Wrecking Ball ! Album Review: It actually amazes me that Bruce Springsteen has been consistently releasing albums every 2 or 3 years since 2002's The Rising . Maybe it shouldn't but most artists of Springsteen's stature and tenure in the business always seem to take more time - [...]

Filed under: News , New Releases Lloyd Bishop, NBC Just when it seemed Adele 's unflinching chart domination would continue to the End of Days (later this year), it was brought down by none other than the Boss. 'Wrecking Ball' swung its way to No. 1 after Adele's '21' spent 23 nonconsecutive weeks at the top of the Billboard 200. But 'Wrecking Ball' didn't wreak the absolute destruction its name would imply. [...]

Deep breaths, everyone - Adele's 21 is no longer the #1 album in the country. After 23 nonconsecutive weeks at the top of the Billboard 200, the Brit singer's hit album finally conceded to Bruce Springsteen's Wrecking Ball . What do we do with our lives now?! In all seriousness, though, it was a squeaker — Springsteen's seventeenth studio album tallied 196,000 in sales, while Adele's 21 nabbed 195,000. So it's a victory for The Boss, but just barely. Of course, Springsteen is used to netting #1 albums [...]

Blogkeepers' Note: This is a repost from a piece we originally ran in 2008. It caught the eye of the Austin Chronicle, and they interviewed us for their big SXSW 2012 preview issue. Read the Chronicle story here. March 16, 1974: Armadillo World Headquarters, Austin, Texas In 1974, my college buddy Cindy came back from a spring weekend raving about this singer-songwriter she caught in concert at Liberty Hall in Houston. "The guy's incredible," she [...]

The Boss is often decried by his critics as trying to portray himself as working class, a sort of intellectual fraud. Despite being decades and millions of dollars removed from his blue collar New Jersey upbringing, Bruce Springsteen still chronicles the working class ethos and struggles he built his early career on, "Freedom son is a dirty shirt, the sun on my face and my shovel in the dirt" ("Shacked And Drawn"). While it is true that Springsteen is basically an actor, this isn't something inherently wrong. Bob Dylan, long a critical darling (and for good reason), has played any [...]

Si conferma padrone della scena Gotye , il deejay belga-australiano, che con la sua canzone in collaborazione con la neozelandese Kimbra è in testa alle classifiche di mezza Europa. In Italia mentre Lucio Dalla col suo postumo è in testa fra gli album, Arisa resta prima fra i singoli. Ma attenzione, perchè fra gli album è già cominciata la scalata di Bruce Springsteen. Sotto, i numeri uno, sopra, " Somebody I used to know" di Gotye ft Kimbra SINGOLI AUSTRIA: Ai [...]

by Andrew Frisicano Bruce Sprinsteen @ the Apollo ( Springsteen.net ) For those who were lucky enough to get tickets (a mix of celebrities, press and SiriusXM staff and subscribers), the show was a chance to see the E Street band play a two-plus-hour set in a venue a fraction the size of its upcoming stadium shows. Their show on Friday, March 9th included a couple of firsts for Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band . The gig a [...]

This is Austin's version of spring break. In most places, spring break means warm weather, scantily clad college girls and drunken frat bros with an effective projectile puke accuracy radius of 20 yards. Not in Austin, Texas. Here, spring break means lots and lots of live music, free food when you can find it, and sheer insanity. Plus all of that other stuff above. Next Wednesday, the big ol' South by Southwest (SXSW) music event kicks off, and in this year of Twenty Aught Twelve the SXSW has grown to such incredible proportions that [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News Debra L Rothenberg, Getty Images Whether it was the legendary venue, the excitement of his first show behind his new album, the allure of the celebrity-filled crowd, or the jitters of performing without the late Clarence Clemons , Bruce Springsteen turned in a show at the Apollo that had me, at times, laughing, screaming, staring in awe and damn near crying. Sponsored by [...]

With the release of his seventeenth studio album, Wrecking Ball , it is safe to say that the Boss still has it. Bruce Springsteen, the ultimate musical patriot, returns with an album that, although has several new ideas, is Springsteenian throughout. Influenced heavily by both American and Irish folk music, Wrecking Ball is an ode to hard work, America, acknowledging one's roots and hope. As the first single to be released, and the first song on the album, "We Take Care of Our Own" sounds much like you would expect it to. If [...]

Bruce Sprinsgteen & the E Street Band play a private SiriusXM show at the Apollo tonight (3/9). If you're not one of the lucky that got, or won, a ticket from the satellite radio provider, you can always listen on E-Street Radio (if you are a subscriber). Lionel Richie (!) will be honored at the same Harlem venue on June 4th as part of the Apollo Spring Gala 2012. As you can imagine, tickets are not cheap. They go on sale to the general [...]
