Several times in the past we've spotlighted guys like Buddy Knox , Sonny Curtis , and a few others who all seemed cut from the same cloth as Buddy Holly . They hailed from the same part of the country, had a similar musical style, and inevitably spent some time at the iconic studio of Norman Petty in Clovis, N.M. All of which also applies to today's subject, Terry Noland - or at least it did in the early [...]

>> While its counterpart in Oregon continues to be a hotbed of indie rock (more on that below), Portland, Maine has also been producing a steady stream of quality acts and recordings. In just the past year that city's Coke Weed and Endless Jags have released a tremendous record and EP respectively, and this Tuesday veteran indie quartet Brenda returns with a long-awaited sophomore record titled Fix Your Eyes . The 10-song collection echoes somewhat the aforementioned Endless Jags EP, as the two bands share some members and, likely [...]
Check out Portland electro-poppers STRFKR’s magical new video for Beach Monster, a track off their latest album, Miracle Mile. Coming in at just over two minutes, the song is adrift in dreamy “ah-ah-ahs,” vibrato guitar effects and Bo-Diddley type drumbeats, suited to the motif of the video. The action floats between two scenes here. First, The post STRFKR premiere "Beach Monster" video appeared first on Nothing But Hope And Passion - NBHAP - Music Magazine & more .
Hard Rock International With their new exhibit "Gone Too Soon," Hard Rock International has collected artifacts from some of the most influential musicians to die before they got old. Featuring clothing, instruments, yearbooks and handwritten letters, lyrics and contracts from John Lennon , Amy Winehouse , Buddy Holly , Kurt Cobain , Jimi Hendrix and many more, it reminds fans of the humanity of the late artists, and makes one consider why we're so fascinated with their legacies. "The allure of eternal youth [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive PA Buddy Holly would have dedicated part of his life to helping young musicians if he hadn't perished in a plane crash at age 22 in 1959, according to his widow Maria Elena, and that's what a new prize and scholarship launched by The Buddy Holly Educational Foundation intend to do. A $5,000 yearly scholarship at the University of North Texas in Denton [...]
As the Beatles finished their rocking rendition of “Get Back” at the conclusion of their 1969 Apple rooftop concert, John Lennon joked “I would like to say thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves and I hope we’ve passed the audition.” While unbelievable today, there was one time when the Beatles did not pass the audition: January 1, [...]
Filed under: Exclusive , Movies "EVERY DAY" FROM "STAND BY ME" In the DVD extras, director Rob Reiner said this Buddy Holly tune was one of his favorites. The song's toy-like celesta offers a sweet innocence to the scene as we see the four buddies walking on railroad tracks, which are about to present a little trouble to the young explorers and which brought real trouble to the boy they've set out to find. [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive , The Hit List , Music Appreciation CBS There's a reason why the Beatles are arguably the biggest musical act in the history of ever. Sure, part of that's the dozens of internationally recognized hit songs they recorded, but there's another side, too -- their cultural impact. This week in musical history is a perfect example of that [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive , The Hit List , Music Appreciation liveaid.free.fr January 30 marks the 41st anniversary of Bloody Sunday -- the infamous massacre in North Ireland at the hands of the British army that saw 14 people die and provided a rallying cry for generations of republicans. And while you may or may not be a history buff, songs like U2 's "Sunday Bloody Sunday" have helped history live [...]
Buddy Holly and the Crickets - Peggy Sue (The Arthur Murray Dance Party 12/29/57) Buddy Holly and the Crickets, Rock and Roll Specialists.
Tarihte 3 Şubat 1959 "Müziğin Öldüğü Gün" olarak hafızalara kazınmıştır. O gün yaşanan talihsiz bir uçak kazası, Amerikan rock'n'roll sahnesinin üç sevilen isminin sonu olmuştu. Bu isimler Buddy Holly, Big Popper ve Richie Valens üçlüsüydü. O dönemin The Winter Dance Party turnesinin kapsamında Amerika'nın bir çok yerine seyahat etmek zorunda kalan müzisyenler, turne otobüsünün ısıtma sisteminde yaşanan bir sorun nedeniyle büyük sıkıntı yaşıyorlardı. Bu durum ekibin baya canını sıkmaya başlamıştı. Son verdikleri konser sonrası Buddy Holly'nin bir sonraki durağa gitmek için bir uçak ayarlamak gibi bir teklifi oldu. 21 [...]
Normally I would advocate adopting a position of wariness when someone says 'hey listen to my friends music its really good', lord knows we have all been lead down digital avenues of dreary indie in the name of loyalty to friends (a loyalty I myself often exploited in the name of indie stardom) but in this case I make an exception. I assure you James', alias Fugitive Orchestra, music is good and at the very least interesting. The lyrics are mature, able to convey drama without wailing hysterically or spelling out emotion with a black marker. There are some lovely [...]
Dave Stewart - Raining In My Heart (Buddy Holly cover)
Anyone familiar with Harlem's rising star, A$AP Rocky , has likely noticed that he is a big fan of just about all things purple . On his most recent track and self-directed video, that PMF brings us another set of slowed-down, smoky and purp-filtered audio with visuals to match, featuring a variety of his favorite lady friends. On this cut, the A$AP headman continues to improve his flow alternating pace along with the beat leading into the chorus, a chopped and screwed rendition of Buddy Holly 's It's So Easy . "Purple Kisses" will be [...]
I don't know why it has taken me so long to post this, I feel like I am whistling it in my head every week and listening to it on my stereo in my car so I must apologize for being an air head and keeping this one to myself for so long. But this is exactly why I love this track because it has kept my interest for so long and its such a happy tune to go skipping around your office acting like a fool, ok maybe not but you get the picture. And Buddy Holly, one of [...]

Filed under: News AFP In Greek mythology, Icarus was the guy who flew too close to the sun only to have his wings melt, causing him to fall back into the sea where he drowned. Back in 1984, Michael Jackson was flying high, the undisputed biggest musician in the whole world. And even though his wings were metaphorical, he got burned in a very real way. There are those who would believe the catalyst for the [...]
I never considered self-indulgence a bad thing. Many critics always keep their high-strung arguments ever so close to their heart on the subject, but the fuss over this quality feels much too superfluous. Why must we strive to be better than our primal instincts? If artists have a romantic relationship with a style of music, let them be, dammit. There’s not much satisfaction to come out of sticking our noses up high because a musician indulges in a common sonic quality, they want us to indulge too. Lets keep in touch with those emotions, beloved indie rockers. [...]
