Jesse L. Martin reemplaza a Lenny Kravitz en el biopic de Marvin Gaye El largo proceso que ha tomado el biopic de Marvin Gaye ha sido muy tedioso y lleno de obstáculos, después de haber pasado por varios directores, se ha reescrito un par de veces, y el artista protagónico ya cambió. La última problemática se dio en diciembre del año pasado cuando Marvin Gaye III , hijo de la estrella, amenazó con emprender acciones legales contra la producción, ya que la propuesta de la historia se centraba en [...]
The long-in-the-works biopic about Marvin Gaye has faced its share of obstacles, having gone through several directors, rewrites, and challenges from his estate. The latest came back in December, when Gaye's son, Marvin Gaye III, threatened legal action against the production over its proposed storyline, which Gaye said focused on a "low period" in his father's life, and encouraged his childhood friend Lenny Kravitz to walk away from the starring role . Kravitz has since adhered to those wishes, and as Deadline reports, former Law & Order star [...]
As one of the largest and longest running dance music festivals in the UK, Creamfields has a place in the heart of many festival-goers across the country and indeed the world. First held in 1998, it has grown from an all-nighter on the historic old airfield in Cream’s home city of Liverpool, to a three-day event in the rolling Cheshire countryside. Last year however, the festival hit headlines due to flooding caused by weather that was unusual even for England, with the final day cancelled as a result. But as one of just a handful of [...]

Charlie Musselwhite , on the other hand, has been around forever – his criminally overlooked debut [...]
January’s hours away from being over, which is insane when I look at everything that’s happened in the past 31 days. Crazy ass days in work, Show in San Antonio (which passed by in a blur), finally finishing off my townhouse with the purchase of a big new bed, a really bad head cold, and then the tension-filled week that I spent all hunched and freaked out due to events that shook up everything in work. We all need a drink (I encourage flasks). Music is a funny thing when your head’s [...]

La nostalgia está tan ligada a la existencia una vez superada cierta etapa de la vida, que los recuerdos de épocas pasadas inevitablemente son padecidos hasta por aquellos que se digan apáticos hacia cualquier sentimentalismo. Sin embargo, tomando en cuenta que la música está ligada a la mayoría de las memorias humanas, en esta ocasión [...]
Before the holiday break, the godfathers of heavy metal, Led Zeppelin were bestowed a high honor with the US President Barack Obama presenting them with the Kennedy Center honors.

I've been as quiet here on Ickmusic as I ever have during its eight year run. Worry not, nothing (outside of my family) has taken a back seat to music in my life. It still fuels everything I do. But there has been a definite lull in my desire to sit down and type out regular blog posts. I know it tears you up inside (whoever "you" may be). But it's okay, Ickmusic.com is still here when I need it. Like today, for instance, when I feel like sharing my music highlights from the year [...]
