This is the Best of the Music Industry? EDITORIAL: Grammys, 2012. Seriously, there was once a time when the Music Industry would spend millions of dollars developing bands and performers. At some point in time ( they blame the internet piracy thing) they sort of hammered away at people's tastes to the point where they don't have any. So what are the Grammys for? Interesting fact there was once 109 categories and now there are 78! Is the music industry shrinking although it still thinks in big business terms [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-13T19:29:15+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4057999/dave-grohls-movie-looks-like-fun-i-think/
When word got out that Dave Grohl was working on some top-secret new project with a bunch of awesome metal d00ds, including Slipknots Corey Taylor andRatts Stephen Pearcy and Warren DeMartini, we got all excited that he might be working on a new Probot album. Well, it turned out that Grohl is actually making a [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-13T14:27:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4057186/video-trailer-for-dave-grohls-sound-city-documentary/
When it came about that Dave Grohl was working on a sitcom for FX , we asked if there was anything he can't do. As if winning five Grammys didn't prove there in fact isn't, the recent trailer for his upcoming Sound City documentary seals it. The fact that the Foo Fighters frontman filmed a doc about the famed and now defunct eponymous L.A. recording studio of the title is intriguing, but the list of names contributing to the project is the real kicker. According the the recently revealed [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-13T07:30:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4056561/a-list-obligatory-the-grammys-worst-albums/

If you thought Nirvana 's "Polly" was about a bird, this video is not going to make much sense to you. But "Polly" is not about a bird, it's about the rape and torture of a teenage runaway. Kurt read about the case the paper and wrote this song about it. Amanda Palmer covered the song as part of SPIN 's tribute to Nevermind , and now she has a video to go with her chilling take on the Nirvana classic. Watch it below.]]> text/html 2012-02-09T18:38:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4049414/amanda-palmer-ft-the-grand-theft-orch-poly-nirvana/

Last spring Mumford & Sons, Old Crow Medicine Show, and Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros embarked on the Railroad Revival Tour , which saw the three bands traverse the country together via vintage train cars. The throwback tour, which got its inspiration from the famed 1970 Festival Express tour that transported the likes of the Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin and The Band across Canada, began in Oakland and ended in New Orleans, stopped in six cities along the cross-country route where the bands performed at unique outdoor venues.

Tweet "Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes", David Bowie once sang. A rather apt song to be thinking of at the moment of my return back to the hallowed halls of LBYB after some time away. I'd like to tell you it was to do something grand like climbing Everest but sadly it was changes to personal stuff. All the while I was gone however, I kept an eye on the site and watched it go through some changes of its own, and what great changes they were.

Frances Bean Cobain , figlia di Kurt Cobain e Courtney Love , ha recentemente posato per il fotografo Hedi Slimane. Alcuni attenti osservatori hanno subito notato come moltissimi scatti del servizio che vede protagonista la diciannovenne sembrino essere una sorta di rifacimento di alcune pose famose che immortalano il suo illustre padre. Questa galleria d'immagini mostra i casi pi eclatanti. Qualche malvagio direbbe che Frances Bean ha solo una cosa che non va: un po' di geni di troppo provenienti da Cortney Love. via | Buzzfeed [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-01T19:01:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4030227/conoce-gary-clark-jr/

Infamously cantankerous studio rat/national treasure Steve Albini doesn't like to be called a record producer. He prefers the term "recording engineer." That's a dry, clinical term for what Albini actually does, but it makes sense that he'd prefer to be seen that way. Over the past few decades, Albini has overseen the creation of countless numbers of recorded artifacts. And even though he's been an outspoken opponent of the major-label system (and of other underground-rock heroes), he's known to work with just about anyone who requests his services, whether it's a major-label juggernaut like '90s radio-grunge rulers Bush or the [...]]]>
