Filed under: News , New Music , New Releases Janet Macoska In a way, Joey Ramone never left. The Ramones have been a staple of the cultural lexicon since they began haunting the Bowery and haven't faded since. On top of that, Joey's first solo album Don't Worry About Me was released a year after his life was cut short by lymphoma. Now, 11 years after his death, the Ramones' frontman [...]

What happened to the Rock? Where did it all disappear to? The once thriving genre of the late '60's and '70's seems to have evaporated for the most part due to intentional corporate interference and genre-ocide. The self-proclaimed ivory tower bean counting experts who think they know what's best for our tender earholes systematically thwarted and conditioned the collective thinking process and purposefully bottlenecked society's mass market choice through relentless, pulverizing bullshit marketing. I'm talking about North America specifically of course over the last 20 years or so. Sure there's still rock, hard rock and [...]

What is your favourite Christmas movie? Does Die Hard count?? [Most definitely - Ed] [...]

Leo Zero By Stef Siepel The weekly froth! A weekly take on six tracks, most of which have recently popped up somewhere in the blogosphere. Bit of a mixed bag with a slight leaning towards house, disco, and remixes, but generally just anything that for some reason tickled the writer's fancy. Track of the Week: 'Down the Drain' by Leo Zero Leo Zero is back with a new track, and I love those boogie-woogie drums at the start there. [...]

There are, according to one number I found on some site, twenty-five thousand Elvis impersonators walking the earth. Elvis impersonator was the result I got when I searched online a couple weeks ago for the answer to Paloma's query, "Whatever happened to...?" The person in question was some kid we knew from a record store twenty years ago. And, technically, he wasn't a stage performer but, according to my findings, merely impersonating Elvis on vocal tracks for impersonators to use in live performances. And, thanks to the wonders of the internet I learned that [...]

The Answering Machine have released a video for their new single, "Lifeline". The song is a gem, as only the group can deliver. The song is a lot more uptempo and positive in relation to "Animals", and it feels a slight more like their older material. The chorus is absolutely huge, and should be so fun to see live. The band has just been taking their music to the next level recently. The album is incredible as well, but I'll tell you all about that in the next couple days.
