Noguchi Museum If you are into sculptures, you should definitely take a trip to the Noguchi Museum in Queens.  The museum is quite large and features an outside sculpture garden which is very lovely and peaceful to visit.  In addition, the Noguchi Museum is conveniently located near the Socrates Sculpture Park. Noguchi Museum There are literally hundreds of sculptures housed inside and outside of the [...]

The band also features former Ponytail drummer, Jeremy Hyman, and ex-Dirty Projectors member Angel Deradoorian. Thanks to some fantastic fans, we have video of their debut performance at Baltimore's Metro Gallery last night. [ Pitchfork ] No one can argue with the [...]

Here's the thing. Anyone who knows me, knows that I'm such a sucker for good catchy tunes. Well, I guess everyone is kind of a sucker for good catchy tunes. But I recently remembered a conversation I had with a friend about the  roots  of our musical loves. I talked about being ten years old and obsessing over  Freddie Mercury,  inconsolably disappointed when I learned that he died the same year as my birth. But what really made a difference was the dent in my musical taste that  Queen  had made. I was not only into a very intricate and [...]

"Under Pressure" de Queen y David Bowie "Under Pressure", la famosa canción creada en 1981 por Queen y David Bowie , apareció en la red en una impresionante versión a capela que con únicamente las voces de Freddie Mercury y Bowie , nos muestran las entrañas de este magnífico clásico. Escuchen esta versión abajo y díganos qué opinan.

Freddie Mercury y David Bowie en "Under Pressure" de Queen, la grabación de las voces por separado Sin duda Freddie Mercury de Queen es una de las grandes voces en la historia de rock and roll, y el enigmático David Bowie también. Así que el dueto que hicieron ambos artistas en " Under Pressure " de 1981 es una de las obras maestras de la música, pero no todo fue tan mágico como suena. De acuerdo con Open Culture , el [...]

I wonder if this makes Axl Rose happy or sad? The post Brian May, Slash, Silly White British Rappers Have "Badger Swagger" appeared first on MetalSucks .

It's no secret that Queen' s Freddie Mercury was rock 'n' roll's greatest vocalist. There's also no denying the enigma of Davie Bowie . These are known facts. Still, this knowledge doesn't make their power any less magical. Take, for example, their vocal tracks for their dynamite 1981 duet, "Under Pressure". As Open Culture  points out, the anthem's birth wasn't an easy process. Tensions ran high recording the single, which took place over a 24-hour wine and cocaine-fueled recording session. In 2008, Queen guitarist Brian May discussed the collaboration, [...]

Even as a new compilation of Queen hits called Icon is set for release on June 11, 2013, guitarist Brian May looks back in wonder at all of the things he and his childhood friends were able to accomplish. "I do get up some mornings and think: 'God, how did that happen?'" May tells Alex Belfield in this newly posted [...]

The Wytches | Beehive Queen Released today on limited 7” (300 copies) and download - and also featuring the AA-side ‘ Crying Clown ’ - ' Beehive Queen ’ is brought to us by Brighton based band The Wytches and is a menacing amalgamation of black psychedelia and torturously kaleidoscopic rage. What’s not to like? Recorded at Toe Rag Studios and produced by Liam Watson on aptly named record label, Hate Hate Hate , this single takes dark 50s surf riffs and gloomy shuffles to another level. The band, made [...]

I Immediately though of local rapper Prof  (who also enjoys making some of the most ridiculous videos I've ever seen) when I started watching Action Bronson's video for his latest single "Strictly 4 my Jeeps".  It's a witty video on the streets of Queens with plenty of sexual innuendos.  Action Bronson has promised that his newest album will be out in early June no matter what, we'll see if he holds to that.

Last year, the primordial pop culture soup belched up an abomination in the form of Lulu , a collaborative effort between Lou Reed and Metallica . It made no sense. There was no reason for it to exist, unless maybe it was made on a dare. So in the interest of making the universe feel like a place of order and sanity, here's a list of inevitable musical collaborations. These are songs, albums, and side projects that are not just good, but also make the world feel like a rational place to live. [...]

...Like Clockwork // Queens of the Stone Age   By Mark Robinson See, the inherit issue with creating two of the finest hard rock albums of the 21st century, is trying to top the bastards. It’s an issue that Josh Homme has attempted to overcome; firstly with 2005’s sprawling but inconsistent Lullabies to Paralyze , and then again with 2007’s Era Vulgaris , which – while patchy – was a tighter, more focused affair. But there’s always felt like something was lost when QOTSA parted ways [...]

Too often, Queen has become the sum of its over-stated parts - the operatic singer, the layered vocals, the anthematic balladry. What's lost is the group's ability to unleash round house after round house of knuckle-sandwich heavy rock. "Sheer Heart Attack," from today's Eagle Rock release Queen on Fire: Live at the Bowl, underscores just how dangerous Queen always could [...]

This past weekend at KROQ's Weenie Roast , Linkin Park's Chester Bennington stepped into Scott Weiland's shoes as the new singer for Stone Temple Pilots. Judging from the lukewarm chaos that ensued online, it's not a decision that's been accepted with "Open Arms" . That inspired us to list our top five best and worst replacement singers in music history. Now, mind you, we wanted to keep each choice to one name - otherwise we would have just listed every Dead Kennedys frontman that didn't go by Jello Biafra - so hopefully that clears up some confusion.

VICE signee  ACTION BRONSON  has just released the clip to his track 'Strictly 4 My Jeeps', that is to feature on his upcoming record  Saab Stories , produced by Harry Fraud . The rapper has promised that the album come out next month, as he published the news via his Twitter account announcing, "Finishing SAAAB STORIES WIT MY BROTHA @ HarryFraud RIGHT NOW. THIS WILL BE OUT EARLY JUNE 10000000% no matter what". In the meantime,  Bronson and  Fraud have left us with the album's first [...]

Now awaiting the postman’s knock in anticipation of my “Random Access Memories” delivery (for both vinyl and CD copies), Berlin’s Theatre Of Delays drops us a note in regards to his speedy ‘Doin’ It Right’ remix (from Daft Punk) which has more thought and energy thrown into it than nine lanes of 100 metre runners who are waiting to start their next race. Made from a place between time and space, Theatre Of Delays gives “The Robots” a slight nudge that falls into Grade A, masterpiece territory. “Since Daft Punk revealed to [...]

Mother's day is the time to remind where we are coming from. Time to celebrate and honor your mother by saying "thank you, mum" and giving her a hug or at least a phone call.
