So far on the lineup announcement (along with the Jack White news coming late last week) we can see that String Cheese Incident has been booked for two sets one of the nights (which leaked earlier tonight [...]

Out of all people to diss Kanye West. And out of all ways to do it. Ugh. While playing at a nearby stage at Australia's Big Day Out festival, Chris Cornell said of Kanye West's set: "Sounds like there's children playing music there. Retarded children, retarded as in held back. There's no other word for it." Apparently Kanye was late to his set and the audience was upset. Maybe Cornell saw this as his opportunity to side with the people and garner up some support for himself, since his fan [...]

The list of records I'd like to review for 9b is so long that if I stare at it for too long I get discouraged, pour a tumbler of whiskey and give up for the night. Then there is this other list, the list of albums I like enough to want to cover, but can't really thing of anything to say about them. So I thought I'd revive the old " Two Sentence Review " segment and cover some of them. Great American Taxi - Paradise Lost Lazy americana [...]

Wherever Kanye West goes, controversy follows — even Down Under. Yeezy managed to incurr the wrath of two parties while performing at Big Day Out festival on Australia's Gold Coast — that of his own fans, and that of Soundgarden, who had the misfortune of attempting to play during Kanye's extremely loud soundcheck. The first sign of trouble began when Kanye's louder-than-expected soundcheck drowned out Soundgarden's set, which was happening one stage over. "Sounds like there's children playing music there, retarded children, retarded as in held back," singer Chris Cornell reportedly said. "There's [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News Victor Boyko, WireImage Few rappers can rock big spaces like Kanye West , and this weekend at Australia's Big Day Out festival, Yeezy brought it as only he can. The only problem: He started 45 minutes late, annoying fans evidently not accustomed to American hip-hop standards of punctuality. As the Courier Mail reports , fans chanted "bulls---" as they waited for the Chi-town rhymer to [...]

Soundgarden Title TBC Universal Summer 2012 What they're saying: While the reformed Soundgarden played across the USA throughout 2011, and have Australian/New Zealand dates later this month, they won't be arriving in Europe till the Summer (aka festival season) comes around. This means with a little luck, we might be getting it before the band hit Download/Sonisphere/Reading. The band's guitarist, Kim Thayil, has been talking to Kerrang! magazine about the direction the resurrected grunge act has taken [...]
Late last year we saw Chris Cornell perform his track from the Machine Gun Preacher Soundtrack, "The Keeper" live on Kimmel . Last night he made sure we didn't forget his gentle ways with a performance of the same track on Leno. This time Alain Johannes wasn't on hand to lend his guitar skills but the addition of some strings will surely raise a few hairs on your neck. Beautiful. Check it out above courtesy of The Audio perv , who else!

NYTimes Arts & Leisure Weekend It's been a little while since I've written about the NYTimes Arts & Leisure Weekend (about a year I guess), but this coming weekend ( January 5-7, 2012 ) marks the return of the newspaper of record's annual gabfest. This schedule actually looks pretty enticing this year ( David Cross, Errol Morris, Kristen Wiig, Paul Feig and the venerable Clive Davis ), and if any of the shows aren't sold out, you can try the code NYTSUB to get [...]

The Tractor was filling up early. I'd figured it would sell out given the bill and so wanted to find myself a good spot early on to set down my beer and my notebook, plant myself somewhere so I could write without being jostled by a sellout crowd. At the Tractor, there is a row of seats to the left of the stage, and I noticed two were saved with signs that read "Reserved for Friel" so I camped there standing next to the seats and thinking I knew who would be sitting in them later. By 8:30, the place [...]
