Photos by G. Willis Earl Beal Willis Earl Beal had me at his opening line, "I am gonna sing you some songs and then I am gonna get off the Goddamned stage!" Chicago native Willis Earl Beal opened for Britsh rock band Wu Lyf at New York's Bowery Ballroom on April 27, 2012, and it was one of those cases for me where the opening act blew away the headliner. If you don't know Willis Earl Beal, get to know him. He's a born [...]

"Dead" A London Picture by Gilbert & George It's been 6 years since Gilbert & George had a gallery exhibition in New York, but the duo has made up for lost time by showcasing not just one but THREE exhibits simultaneously! "Shootings" A London Picture by Gilbert & George The exhibits will be taking place at the following locations (through June 23, 2012): Lehmann [...]

Photos by G. Richie Follin of Guards On April 26, 2012, New York (via California)'s Guards packed the house at Manhattan's Mercury Lounge. Lead singer Richie Follin is from a very talented family. His sister is Cults lead singer Madeline Follin, but sonically their music is a completely different sound. Self-described as "pop-wave-doom," their hour long set was a lot more rock than it was doom! At times, their songs blended into another which was great as it felt like watching a concept album being performed. [...]

Photos by G. Chris Hemsworth and Geoffrey Dicker In another one of my epic and unplanned adventures, chance brought me to the Ed Sullivan Theater where the David Letterman show tapes. I was in the area for a completely different reason (and that mission was accomplished, thanks for asking!), when I saw that a taping was getting out. I had time to kill before my next mission so I joined the mob-scene when actor Chris Hemsworth was leaving the studio. Not only is the man drop [...]

Jada is back! with a new tape hosted by DJ Drama. Jadakiss has always been a rapper to hold his own and this tape shows no different. With features from 2Chainz, Fab, Styles P, Swiss, Jeezy, Lloyd Banks and more, Jada still makes it know he's still got it. This tape is definitely worth the download.

I don't know if it's just me but lately I haven't been able to stop listening to Yacht's version of Brigitte Fontaine's "Le Goudron." Don't get me wrong although Brigitte's version is very intense, what I like about Yacht's version is that they infused their own sound, which is electronic and sprinkle it over the song and created their own song. The reason for the release of this track was to announce their European tour which kick starts tomorrow. Yacht - Le Goudron Brigitte Fontaine - Le Gourdon [...]

HD Video by G. Remember the other day when I told you how amazing Emeli Sande' is? Well, I am putting my money where my mouth is and all you have to do is click "play" to see and hear for yourself. Emeli's career really took off overseas after Coldplay's lead singer Chris Martin heard her cover of their track "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall." She was invited to open for Coldplay on their UK tour last year and before long, Emeli scored a number 1 album on the charts. All you have to [...]

Photo by G. Michael Moore and Geoffrey Dicker Love him or hate him (I love him), you cannot ignore the fact that film maker Michael Moore has done more to open the eyes of the sleeping world than almost every politician of our generation! I am thankful for people like Michael Moore who are using their voices to speak up for the great injustices that are being done and by offering solutions. I appreciate him calling to task many of the so called 1% and watching [...]

Photos by G. Emeli Sande' Up-and-coming mega-star alert! Wow! Scottish singer Emeli Sande' performed at a very sold out show at Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg on April 24, 2012 and in a word, the show was sensational. From the moment Emeli Sande' (pronounced "Emily San-day") hit the stage until she left, the audience watched her perform in awe (and silence!) with thunderous applause and cheers after each song. Emeli Sande' has a powerful voice that has already conquered Europe and she's about to [...]

HD Video by G. Wanna hear a new song by The Vaccines called "Teenage Icon" as performed live at Webster Hall in New York on April 23, 2012? If the answer is yes, then click play. If the answer is no, make it a yes! Apologies for the sound not being so great. It was the best I could do from the very vibrating front row. [...]

[Photos by acidjack] Conduits are a new band from the always-punching-above-its-weig ht music scene of Omaha, Nebraska, and we were fortunate enough to catch them right after the release of their promising self-titled debut on the label Team Love . Conduits' reference points include many bands I revere - Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine, Lush, Portishead and the underappreciated Irish band Scheer - so I was naturally taken with their sound. Lead singer Jenna Morrison, previously of another beloved Omaha band Son, Ambulance , is a commanding frontwoman and vocalist, with the sort [...]

Five albums down and still melt worthy.

Photos by G. Justin Young of the Vaccines It's been a long wait for New York fans to see Britain's The Vaccines in concert. April 23, 2012 proved the wait had been worth it as The Vaccines played a sold out show at Manhattan's Webster Hall. In 2011, after The Vaccines announced a US and Japan tour for the fall, lead singer Justin Young had to have 3 surgeries on his vocal chords (despite still playing 150 shows that year) and took some time [...]

After this & Coyote Kisses remix of Perry , I really can't say I dislike her voice all that much, although her persona is a whole 'nother story. I guess these electro, dubstep remixes bring out the beauty in her voice and leave all the other shit to the wayside. No Pets' remix of "Part of Me" may not beat out the Coyote Kisses remix quite yet, but it's still some healthy electro-dubstep that doesn't over accentuate the drops and leaves the smooth bass to speak for itself. Now that I gotta stop hatin on [...]
