By: David Schultz Timed to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, Showtime debuted The Love We Make, Albert Maysles' documentary about The Concert For New York, the superstar-filled show conceived and organized by Paul McCartney. Footage of the actual Madison Square Garden concert is in short supply, quick glimpses of the show giving context to the reactions to the

The Gaslight Anthem covered The Who's classic rock staple, "Baba O'Reilly," for the iTunes series, iTunes Sessions .

As previously reported, iTunes has tapped The Gaslight Anthem for the latest installment of their iTunes Session music series. Recorded live at New York City's Cake Shop this past July, the seven-track EP packs an unreleased cut called "Our Father's Sons" and a reimagining of American Slang 's "Boxer" alongside covers of The Animals, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Pearl Jam, and The Who. Originally set to drop on December 13th, The Gaslight Anthem's iTunes Session is now due out tomorrow, October 18th. However, right now, you can hear an exclusive preview [...]
The Sweet (the band behind 'Ballroom Blitz' and more) comes back from the dead with a cover of the Who's 'Join Together.'

Face it, Halloween isn't very scary. It's usually pretty funny - this year there will be people dressed up like characters from Harry Potter , or as Charlie Sheen, or maybe even Arnold Schwarzenegger or Rick Perry or Ron Paul. Surely some women will dress to emulate Lady Gaga, or maybe even Amy Winehouse or Kate Middleton. Then there will be that one guy who will dress up as Anthony Weiner with a crucial part of his costume enhanced (or removed). Ha, ha. As I said, real funny. Here is the best Halloween blog I've [...]

Je viens au front pour m'indigner, puisque ça à l'air d'être une tendance mondiale en ce moment, j'ai décidé de mettre mon grain de sel et de pousser la gueulante plus fort qu'un militant CFDT en première ligne d'une manifestation. Que devient Justice ? Je sens une grosse polémique s'ouvrir au 24 octobre, le jour de la sortie du nouvel Opus (Dei) du duo divin. En effet on se demande ce qui leur passe par la tête quand on écoute les nouveaux extraits de l'album. On a connu Justice en 2006 [...]

After Christmas, the most sung-about observance has to be Halloween. Of course, Halloween isn't as popular among kids today as it was when we were younger. You can thank uptight elementary school principals and square-nuts church preachers for that. Even the art of the Halloween rock and roll song seems to have faded into the mists of oblivion. Except ... we now have this wonderful internet which lets us find these obscurities and share them in all their rockin' glory. Here we go, Halloween's not for a couple of weeks now so expect a few more posts like [...]

A lo largo de la historia de Los Simpsons, han desfilado por la serie decenas de músicos famosos. Hace justo un año, publicamos un top muy personal de las mejores apariciones animadas y amarillas. Faltan muchas, por qué... ¿quién no ha salido en The SImpsons?, pero acá van algunas de las que más recuerdo, a propósito de los fuertes (y al parecer, oficiales) rumores de la cancelación de la serie. 1. The Ramones 2.Sonic Youth [...]

Even though The Gaslight Anthem's Brian Fallon has been busy with The Horrible Crowes , that doesn't mean New Brunswick, NJ's best export (after Bon Jovi and grease trucks) still isn't active. On December 13th, iTunes will release the iTunes Session: The Gaslight Anthem , and like the various medical facilities that call New Brunswick home , this EP is healthy with content. Recorded on July 25th, 2011 at NYC's Magic Shop, the six-track effort (track no. 7 being an interview with the band) features one unreleased track in "Our Father's Sons" and [...]

La estación de radio francesa OUI lanzó su campaña impresa con unas buenas fotografías de discos en locaciones muy similares a las portadas. Así (y con muy buen gusto) promueven la música de Ramones, James Brown, Bowie, Roxy Music, Pj Harvey y otros tantos en cada esquina de las provincias de Francia. Buenísima idea, muy bien ejecutada.
Each year, Neil Young opens up his Rolodex (and it's a mighty impressive one) and calls on all his rock star friends to play his charity concert, the Bridge School Benefit . With the shindig celebrating its 25th anniversary this October , Young and the folks behind the event have compiled the concert's best moments in a three-DVD, two-CD set aptly titled The Bridge School Concerts 25th Anniversary Edition. The DVD release includes performances from the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Fleet Foxes, James Taylor, Simon and Garfunkel, Devendra Banhart, and a plethora of other big-name acts. [...]

Every fall for the last 20+ years, legendary singer-songwriter Neil Young has assembled an all-star roster of musicians for a charity concert to benefit the Bridge School – a school which assists children with severe physical impairments and complex communication needs. Due out on October 24th, The Bridge School Concerts 25th Anniversary Edition, available on three-DVDs or two-CDs, contains highlights from the past 24 years worth of Bridge School benefits including Bruce Springsteen's Born In The USA, Rebel Yell by Billy Idol and Simon [...]

Check out Birds & Batteries' synthy rendition of The Who's 'Squeeze Box.'

Por Juan Pablo Lima Alguna vez tuve un contrapunto con un profesor de la Universidad, por un ensayo que debía entregar para su materia. Básicamente, el conflicto surgió cuando traté de explicarle que mi composición no era el fiel reflejo de mi pensamiento, sino que éste se tuvo que amoldar a la consigna de trabajo establecida. La respuesta que recibí fue tajante: "no te preocupes por eso, uno es lo que escribe, siempre" . Renegué entonces y reniego ahora de esa sentencia. ¿Cómo que uno es lo que escribe? Yo soy yo, y lo que [...]

There's a book knocking around at the moment called 'The Filter Bubble' which I haven't read but which, according to the book reviews, has an interesting central premise. This premise is that the internet provides the illusion of a universal archive that can be freely searched, whereas the reality it is that the search engines make a lot of algorithmic decisions for you based on personal factors such as your search history, before 'tailoring' the information obtained to match your search query accordingly. In other words you are not objectively searching Google (I'm not picking Google arbitrarily, they are at [...]
