The Doors - Light My Fire
Filed under: News , Exclusive , Music Appreciation Hulton Archive | Hulton Archive On July 3, 1973 Laurens Hammond , the inventor of the Hammond organ, died at age 73. Under normal circumstances this would be a pretty big deal in the world of music history. After all, the Hammond sound can be hear all over rock classics like Procol Harum 's "A Whiter Shade of Pale," Boston 's "Smokin'" and [...]

The Rubinoos: Live at the Hammersmith Odeon

Aug 13, 2011, 10:43pm Hyperbolium
The Rubinoos: Live at the Hammersmith Odeon Seminal power pop band live in 1978 Originally released as part of the omnibus box set Everything You Always Wanted to Know About the Rubinoos , the band has released this period live performance on its own for separate download. Taped at London’s Hammersmith Odeon on April 1, 1978, the concert shows off the band’s stellar harmony singing, tight guitar rock, super-tuneful songs and broad stage humor. Jon Rubin’s voice (which still sounds great today) is d-r-e-a-m-y, Tommy Dunbar shows off his killer guitar skills, and the band’s rhythm [...]

Art Brut's Eddie Argos Teaches History, Slams Avril Lavigne in New York

May 13, 2010, 7:30am Spinner.com
Art Brut's Eddie Argos Teaches History, Slams Avril Lavigne in New York Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News The layout of New York City's Mercury Lounge is such that performers get to the stage by walking through the audience. That's how loveable British galoot Eddie Argos knew Wednesday night that he'd be playing to what he termed an "empty room full of confused people," a fair assessment of the evening's turnout. Had Argos been leading his usual band, Art Brut , he'd have sold the place out. Instead, he was fronting Everybody [...]

SXSW 2010 - Day 1 (Wednesday)

Apr 7, 2010, 3:01pm Teenage Kicks
SXSW 2010 - Day 1 (Wednesday) My feet aren't killing me, my legs have some spring back, I'm sleeping in my own bed and I haven't had a beer in the sunlight for three weeks. I guess I am actually back from SXSW. Dang. For music lovers/geeks/nerds (i.e. readers of this blog), SXSW is something that should be experienced at least once. It's an orgy of sun, music, beer, tacos, Bar-B-Q, beer, music, music and beer... and very little sleep. For some reason, there was free beer (Heineken, please) on the flight in. It augured well for the next few days. There was live [...]

The Rubinoos: Biff-Boff-Boing!

Feb 15, 2010, 9:12pm Hyperbolium
The Rubinoos: Biff-Boff-Boing! Kid-friendly album from the kings of power-pop harmony Though it’s been five years since the Rubinoos released their last album of new material, Twist Pop Sin , they’ve been busy boys (and girl). Tours of Japan and Spain were accompanied by odds ‘n’ sods collections ( One Two That’s It and HodgePodge ) and their seminal Beserkley recordings finally received the attention they deserved with the 3-CD Everything You Always Wanted to Know About the Rubinoos [...]

Riff Offs: 10 Songs That Resemble Other Songs

Oct 30, 2008, 9:00am JamsBio Magazine
Riff Offs: 10 Songs That Resemble Other Songs They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Musicians are notorious for taking this old adage to heart, liberally "borrowing" (either intentionally or subconsciously) chords, melodies and/or lyrics from each other. Some say that it's, in fact, the essence of all forms of music, especially modern popular music. This is certainly the case with folk and blues idioms. Bob Dylan, and he'd be the first to admit it, wouldn't be the caliber artist he is without riffing on other songwriters. Sometimes this musical flattery is taken in stride, while other times it's repaid with a big fat [...]

What a post delay, huh? I'm very much the type of person whose interests come in waves and the blog wave just didn't hit me for a while there. Long-time readers are accustomed to this pattern, so I won't necessarily apologize, but I felt a warning was necessary for newer readers. Blah, blah, blah, but now the weather smacks of fall (and fall's my favorite) and the wave crashed into me today and here I am. Another wave that's pummeled me (aside form a momentary desire to use annoying Internet abbreviations) the past week is [...]

Avril vs Rubinoos vs Rolling Stones vs Billy Ocean?

Jul 18, 2007, 5:55am 100b
Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend" is a cute and catchy song, but the lyrics are not so great. And by not so great I mean really really really reallyreallyreally bad. Some might even go so far to say they are, in fact, ass. Then why? Why would you want to brag about the fact that you inspired these words, let alone sue the girl for stealing them from you?? Which is exactly what The Rubinoos did. As you may have heard they're suing everybody's favorite Canadian faux-rebel pop princess because they claim "Girlfriend" resembles their song "I Wanna Be Your [...]

ננסי דרו ותעלומת הפזמון הגנוב

Jul 6, 2007, 9:24am PopTart - music? yum-yum!
ננסי דרו ותעלומת הפזמון הגנוב אני לא מתיימרת לשחזר את הפוסט הזה , אבל אתמול קראתי שתובעים את אבריל לאבין על פלגיאט מוזיקלי. מתברר שהלהיט האחרון שלה "I Wanna be your Girlfriend" גנוב משיר שצעד במצעדים האמריקאים בשנת 1979 של להקה בשם The Rubinoos. לשיר שלהם קראו, למרבה ההפתעה "I Wanna be you Boyfriend". אז הורדתי קצת חומרים של ההרכב הזה. חמודים, לא יותר מזה, אבל שמתי לב לעוד משהו קטן. ב-77' הם עשו קאבר ללהיט הסיקסטיז של טומי ג'יימס "I Think We're Alone Now". עשור אחר כך, סנסציית הפופ והקניונים טיפאני גם עשתה לשיר הזה קאבר. כנראה שסנסציות נעורים [...]
