The Gaslight Anthem - "Great Expectations" mp3 Maybe they felt some added pressure because a real live member of the E-Street Band was in their presence , but New Jersey's The Gaslight Anthem sure rocked the shit out of Studio 6A in Rockefeller Center last night. They delivered a triumphant performance of the title track to this year's breakthrough The '59 Sound , which should make many a year-end-list around here, prompting Conan O'Brien himself to call the band "killer." And yeah, we know he has [...]
"Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over?"
10 down, 15 to go on this year's "best of" list. Keep in mind it's in alphabetical order as to simplify the selection process. Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid Guy Garvey has a way with words that absolutely blows me away. His poetic musings on love and life combined with his smoky tenor voice are perfectly framed by beautiful arrangements on Elbow's latest, The Seldom Seen Kid . It's some of the group's best work, containing several of this [...]
...pronounced "The Two-Thousand-Eighties" Tragedy plus time. That's the oft-stated formula for comedy - one wonders how long after the Lincoln assassination it was finally okay for someone to actually joke about it from the stage of Ford's Theater . Maybe never. But we have already seen jokes pop up, no matter how awkwardly or tentatively, about the events of September 11th 2001, or even such spinechilling examples of the depths of human nature as Columbine or Jeffrey Dahmer. It's just how we humans defuse volatile subjects like that, make it okay to talk [...]

Au lieu de faire le tri de centaines d'albums et de ne dénicher que deux ou trois qui valent le coup, la perte de temps à goûter sans se gaver est irremplaçable. D'où le changement d'organisation pour les travaux de ce blog qui je rassure tout le monde resteront transparente pour les lecteurs. Seul bonne nouvelle, les titres qui passeront ici gagneront certainement en qualité ce qui m'évitera de faire le tour des milliers de mp3 sans bonne pioche. Et on commence aujourd'hui par l'excellent The '59 Sound publié par The [...]
THE GASLIGHT ANTHEM would have to do something miraculous to play another gig in Scotland as special as their first appearance here on Wednesday night. For a rock band in the biblical sense the New Jersey natives have already achieved a remarkable feat - transcending genre snobbery to garner universal exaltation for their new album The '59 Sound. It's reassuring to know that the cream always rises to the top. The Gaslight Anthem start off fast and furious, launching into Great Expectations and tearing through the next seven [...]
The Gaslight Anthem's "59 Sound" is the sixth-best album of the year this year, as you'll see when I publish my list (I'm still working on the bottom 10). But in anticipation and celebration, here's a fantastic, high-quality live show from August. They do mostly the new album, and throw in a few covers and songs from their first release as well. Tastes and a zip. Enjoy. Great Expectations (3:00) Wooderson (2:15) Senor And The Queen (2:13) Old White Lincoln (3:26) Miles Davis & The Cool (4:08) [...]
The sensational Shockwaves NME Awards shows have been announced for next January and February to start off a 2009 in great style. The likes of Franz Ferdinand , The Wombats and Simian Mobile Disco are among this year's great gigs, with more to be announced shortly. Franz Ferdinand 's frontman Alex Kapranos said of their opening night honour: "We're going to play the gig to celebrate 'Ulysess' coming out and Heaven is the best place to go and celebrate. [...]
Gig Of The Week - Vivian Girls - Brixton Windmill Brooklyn's Vivian Girls have had a whirlwind 2008. Recently named in Rough Trade's 50 albums of 2008 (#9, no less), the band follows support slots with Deerhunter, Fucked Up and Love is All over in the States with a couple of shows here in London. The first is the peach, set in the dark, cramped surroundings of Brixton's tiny Windmill venue. The sound is resolutely lo-fi, with hints of Sarah Records influence along with classic girl group vs Jesus And Mary Chain noise. So [...]
When I saw The Gaslight Anthem were playing Shepherds Bush Empire for the NME Shockwaves tour next year, I was a bit puzzled. How could a band come under the radar and play a venue that big and expect to sell it out? I've since done a bit of research and it seems that my musical radar seems to have plain and simply missed them out, which is a hell of a shame - they're pretty darned amazing and full of energy it seems - its pop punk, but for adults. Mature, [...]
Don't be surprised if these guys end up with my favorite album in 2008. That they are this overwhelmed by it all - well at least when the record first came out in August - only makes me love them more. Seriously, do yourself a favor and pick up The 59 Sound ( Side One Dummy ) . It won't change your life but it sure as hell will make it more enjoyable. Click here to view the embedded video. Also: [...]

Tickets priced €17.50 incl. booking fee are on sale at all usual Ticketmaster outlets from tomorrow, Wednesday 26 November.

It's still a little strange to see top 10 lists now, but if it's not too early for the onslaught of Christmas music to invade every public space I seem to go to, I suppose it's OK to start trying to wrap 2008 in a cute bow. Which brings us to what's apparently British music mag list day, with the once-entertaining Q and the real-rock bible Mojo battling it out to see, once and for all, which publication has better taste in American music. THE GOOD: Both lists feature titles I [...]

A sintonizar Galaxy 94.3 fm Los Mochis esta noche desde las 8:22 , porque es sábado con espíritu de Friday Night ... The gaslight anthem - Old white Lincoln .mp3 .
The process of diligently, sometimes desperately, searching for number songs never fails to turn up interesting tidbits. In the early '70s, when women were paid 59 ¢ for every dollar earned by men (many of them male chauvinist pigs), proponents of women's liberation wore buttons that read simply "59 ¢." (If 21st-century feminists felt inclined to protest the wage gap, their buttons would read "77 ¢.") Another thing this quest has taught me is that for every number between 1-100, some kind of connection can usually be made to Bob Dylan, and 59 is no exception. "The Ballad of Donald [...]
By Eric Mahollitz Last night, Madison and the High Noon Saloon were fortunate enough to host Vancouver's Ladyhawk and New Jersey buzz band The Gaslight Anthem . A slightly subdued but good-sized crowd welcomed Ladyhawk to the stage. Duffy Driediger (guitar/vocals), the band's unofficial spokesman, looked right at home on the microphone, his flannel shirt and signature beard exuding the warmth that comes through so well in his songwriting. His habit of being self-critical came out between songs in the form of playful banter, but upon hearing the songs themselves such [...]
