Last Sunday I had a run in with French passport control police and British airways at Marseille airport. Let me try to explain, my eldest son who is 13 was due to depart for the UK and spend his Easter holiday's with my parents. When we presented ourselves at the check in desk we were asked for a document authorising him to leave the country, now this is not the first time that he was to travel on his own, but the said document that is delivered by your local town hall had not entered our thoughts and British Airways, [...]

In conjunction with the release of Wu-Tang Clan 's upcoming album 8 Diagrams the historic hip hop group will be joining the Rock the Bells festival set for a number of shows as it crosses the nation. While that alone is exciting news, the Los Angeles Times has reported that Rage Against the Machine will be joining the Wu for three of these dates. Tour promoter Chang Weisberg claims that these dates, along with the group's Coachella headlining spot, will be the only [...]
If a person is going to dis hip-hop, inevitably they will mention sampling. "Fucker's can not even write their own songs! Take someone else's music and talk over it....where is the talent in that?" blah blah blah.... While there are a multitude of angles from which to attack this argument, I am not here to convince people of the legitimacy of hip-hop as an art. If you can not recognize it on your own then you are probably an asshole. The other day I was listening to the new Swollen Members cd, Black Magic, while I ran some [...]
It seems like an awful lot of old school bands are getting back together these days. It's like the trendy thing to do or something. Most of them are pretty brutal, and make me kinda nauseous, kinda like seeing Rob & Amber again on The Amazing Race . But some sound pretty exciting, and make me feel all warm and tingly inside. I'm still waiting to get the call for the LGC reunion, but it hasn't come yet. I've been singing "Her House" every day for weeks. Smashing Pumpkins This is actually kinda exciting. Billy [...]
When listening to music there is always a feeling that I'm searching for. When the time comes to put the record on the turn table and drop the needle I may not completely know what that feeling is. But, eventually the artist will lead the way. When the sound comes through the groove and the swirling sonic soundscapes come pouring out of the speaker i'm at home with blissful noise. For me, their is nothing more thrilling than listening to a great debut album. Everything is new to you; the vocal runs, the chorus, the verse, the bridge. [...]
Like most of you, I visit music blogs for the sole purpose of finding free new music. Let's not kid ourselves; you arrived here via a Hype Machine or Elbo.ws search for some particular piece of music which you hope to acquire at no cost, not to actually read some clown's slef-serving opinion of the music itself. I ignore most of that nonsense, myself (probably one of many contributing factors to the suckiness of this blog). But I do browse this scene enough to know that there is a LOT of contrived music blogging going on out [...]
Last night, talk turned to Glastonbury . Which in turn turned to tickets. Which turned to touting. Talk turned to discussion. Discussion to debate. Finishing finally with heated debate. For around the table was support for touting. Which not only suprised me but also baffled and if I'm honest, annoyed me. Yet when asked why, those in favour were able to offer lucid, sensible, reasoned reasons why they felt there was nothing wrong with it. If you'll allow me to paraphrase here, among the reasons given were that it's not illegal. That they're simply selling [...]
Ah, this takes me back. When I was growing up, it didn't get any better for me than this. I loved the power these guys could capture in music. Rage Against The Machine are one of the few bands that I continue to enjoy from my "mainstream music taste" now that I have developed a more "indie music taste". A lot of my favorite music is energetic, and RATM certainly have that going for them. Their music was always driven by a strong political force, and I loved it. [...]
You know what I hate? I hate when people think they know music. They go off and make these music lists, trying to define the best and worst of a specific band or genre. They claim it's the definitive list but it's really missing 90% of the truly definitive tracks. I mean, who the hell do these people think they are? Do they really think they know music or...wait a second, nevermind. Q
It's fall of 1993. I'm a senior high school. Kurt Cobain is still alive. Beavis and Butthead rule MTV. Sega Genesis is the gaming system of choice. Zach de la Rocha is pissed off. My friends and I are filled with angst. We are a perfect match. I'll never forget the first time that I heard Rage Against the Machine 's debut album in full. Back then, a parental advisory sticker actually meant something. My friends and I were dying to get this CD. I was the first of us to turn 18, so I purchased about [...]
The lineup for this year's Coachella Music and Arts Festival was announced a few hours ago, flaring up my jealousy towards those that live in the area/can afford the trek. The late April music bonanza has become one of the best outdoor shows in the world, in just 9 years mind you, and has been expanded into a 3-day event this year, as opposed to the traditional weekend event. The biggest news is that Rage Against the Machine has re-united to headline the event's final day, surely pleasing fans and Audioslave cynics/haters alike. Those guys could [...]
Last Friday Billboard reported that Audioslave guitarist Tom Morello hinted at a possible reunion of his former band Rage Against the Machine at this year's Coachella Festival. Quickly coming off the heels of the rumor came the L.A. Times which reported that "(Rage Against the Machine) will reunite after a seven-year lull for one [...]

While I was searching for the setlist from last night's Peppers' gig, I came across this news article that made me do a double take. I'll be the first to admit that I haven't been on-top of all of the festival speculation, but this Rage reunion seems like a rather fresh story. Also headlining the other two nights are Björk and Red Hot Chili Peppers - with a rumored supporting cast of Arcade Fire , Interpol , Willie Nelson , The Roots , Manu Chao , The [...]
According the LA Times , RATM will reunite for Coachella 2007 . I'd rather see the Police. The following tracks are from Woodstock '99. Sorry about the fucking curse words being god damned edited out, there wasn't a fucking thing I could do about it. RATM - Know Your Enemy (live @ Woodstock '99) RATM - Freedom (live @ Woodstock '99) RATM - Killing In The Name (live @ Woodstock '99)
Rumors are flying that the angriest band from the 90's may resurface at this years Coachella Festival. While I would love to see Rage again I have a feeling this might remain nothing more then a rumor. Frontman Zach De La Rocha has been MIA for the better part of the last 6 years and Audioslave is busy wowing middle America. For the record when Rage did break up I was happy to see it. All that
