Sound City Studios camouflaged itself amidst a row of warehouses in the San Fernando Valley. For 42 years, it sat there almost hidden - important to the people who knew about its existence, irrelevant to those who didn’t. But appearance and reputation never mattered. The sound . That’s what mattered. You've probably never heard of Sound City Studios, but you’ve sure as hell heard the music recorded there: After the Gold Rush, Fleetwood Mac , Heaven Tonight , Damn the Torpedoes , Holy Diver , Nevermind - and that’s only the [...]
802lerin en başarılı düetlerinden biri olan Say Say Say müzik listelerini alt üst eden çok önemli pop klasiklerinden biri olarak müzik tarihine ismini yazdırmıştı. Çok güzel bir pop şarkısı olmasının yanında Michael Jackson ve Paul McCartney gibi iki dev ismin de şarkı için biraraya gelmesi -ki popun kralının en şaşaalı dönemi- doğal olarak ilgiyi en ...

Like 461 Ocean Boulevard, but with better singing, Eric Clapton's Old Sock is similarly thin on original songs, swerves into an amiable island-inflected vibe, and never gets too far outside of its super-mellow box. It's also similar in that it features a stellar band - this time including keyboardist Chris Stainton, drummer Steve Gadd and bassist Willie Weeks - but [...]
I've never been given to public or private displays of insane jealousy. I've always been more the type to observe silently and simmer on the inside. "Don't Mess with My Man" (to quote the title of the No. 8 hit from 2002 by Nivea and Brian and Brandon Casey from Jagged Edge)? I'd so never go there . Well, except for that one time. It was years ago in New York City, early one Saturday morning when I was at the after-hours East Village club Save the Robots with my then-boyfriend. There was another guy getting [...]

Someone should inform Morrissey of what "beef" really means. Friday night (March 1st) at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the former Smiths frontman held a concert that quickly evolved into a public service announcement. Everyone knows that the British legend doesn't eat meat, but who really knew the extent of his vegetarianism? First off, Morrissey canceled his performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! this past week upon finding out that he'd be sharing Kimmel with A&E's cast of the hunting reality series Duck Dynasty. [...]
Linus of "Peanuts" once said, "There's no heavier burden than a great potential." Linus of Hollywood's certainly fulfilled his - check out these covers and hear for yourself.
The adage "no school like old school" rings very true with the new David Bowie album, The Next Day . Aladdin Sane clearly hasn't lost any of his mojo as evident by his newest album, which you can stream right now. So in his honor, today's Rock it Out! Blog wants to know who your favorite old rock stars. What rockers or bands over the age of 60 still make you all giddy when you hear their music or see them live? Let us know in the comment section!

Like most Smiths fans under 30, I think I heard about Morrissey being pissed off for some reason or another before I'd heard him croon over a single perfect Johnny Marr riff. He's a self-consciou... Continue reading "Morrissey feuds with Paul McCartney, Jimmy Kimmel, Staples Center, et al, But it's a Great Career Move" >
Be straight with me: Is Morrissey okay? Like, is there some method to his madness? Is he just having a laugh here? Is he getting back at us for repeatedly inquiring about the possibility of a Smiths reunion even though he's made it perfectly clear that's not happening ? Because I'm starting to wonder about the frequency and content of his cultural contributions these days! Claire thinks he should do a song with Kanye, and frankly, that may be the only thing that even makes sense at this point. What now, you ask? More like, what not [...]
Filed under: News AP Photo Morrissey is back in the news for his staunch adherence to vegetarianism. The cranky rocker was supposed to perform on " Jimmy Kimmel Live " on Tuesday, Feb. 26, but cancelled at the last minute when he heard that the "genocidal" Robertson family of A&E's "Duck Dynasty" were fellow guests. Kimmel was a bit burned by the singing legend, so he went ahead and taped a segment about "carrot [...]
Filed under: 47 Second Review Amazon The Smiths are never reuniting. Deal with it. Morrissey plays a half-dozen Smiths songs at every show, so really, what difference does it make what the name on the marquee says anyway? And besides, Johnny Marr , the musical mastermind of that band, clearly moved on 25 years ago and has the resume to prove it ( Paul McCartney , Pretenders , The The, [...]
Stephen Colbert was the special guest on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night (February 22nd). The playful interview started off with a little pre-Oscars beef, where Fallon and Colbert exchanged Papyrus greeting cards with each other and opened at the count of 23. To their surprise, the contents of both cards were invites...to each others' Oscar-viewing parties. Whoops. The result? They take it to the piano and concoct their own cutely twisted version of the Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney classic "Ebony and Ivory." Since [...]
AXS TV aired a Grace Potter and the Nocturnals concert live from Stubb's in Austin, Texas last November. This weekend AXS TV will premiere an hour-long special featuring footage from the gig, with the first showing scheduled to air on Sunday night at 8PM ET. Also be on the lookout for a fascinating Simon & Garfunkel documentary on Palladia, a repeat of Paul McCartney's recent visit to Saturday Night Live on NBC and The Avett Brothers appearing on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

Denny Laine, long-time former collaborator with Paul McCartney and Wings, is at work on a new memoir - and he says McCartney is lending a hand. "Paul's helping me do it, so that's going to be good," Laine says in a newly posted in-depth interview with Prism Films. "He'll remind me of a few stories, and vise versa. ... I [...]

Yesterday, as my KPM proficiency was put to the test transcribing the Bonnaroo Lineup Announcement Megathon , this dawned on me: booking Bonnaroo must be a lot more difficult than booking Coachella. Just think about it: Coachella takes places over in April, and though its expansion to two weekends has undoubtedly made booking headliners and foreigners more difficult, the festival faces no competition. Fact is, there are no major music festivals that take place the same two weekends as Coachella. However, during the same weekend of Bonnaroo 2013, festivals such as Isle of [...]
Bonnaroo is kickin' it old school this year with the likes of Paul McCartney , Tom Petty , and Billy Idol to name a few of the rock legends that will be present. As a side thought, this might be the year to check out the comedy stage if you have a little free time. Daniel Tosch , Weird Al , and Ed Helms will all be making an appearance. Let us know who you're most excited for. Anyone left out that you wanted to see included?
