discogs.com Considering their legacies as amongst the most artistically creative and commercially successful British rock bands of their respective eras are rather assured, it's easy to forget that both Blur and The Who started out as pretty bright-eyed, eager-to-please guitar pop bands. Which is not to say that their earlier works were overly simplistic or lacked ambition - it's arguable that what they accomplished within the constraints of the 3-minute pop song was as impressive as anything did once free to indulge their creative impulses - so hearing young Blur cover young Who [...]

The Who , la mítica banda de Pete Townshend y Roger Daltrey, en activo desde los 60, nos ha dejado muchos buenos y grandes momentos, y sigue haciéndolo. Aunque seguramente eso es lo último en lo que pensaban las personas que iban a uno de sus conciertos en el 79 y que no pudieron asistir debido a la cancelación. Sin embargo, hoy se ha sabido que los británicos permitirán la entrada a uno de sus nuevos shows con dicha entrada . Una nota curiosa, sin duda, en la que [...]
I'm always on the lookout for the right beat and a massive drop, which is why this song is a perfect example of how both elements go really well together. And if you're DJing a set, you'd also know that sometimes things need to get a little more tribal, especially if you're trying to heat the beach up in a different way. Shout out to Boris Lipsman for the find. Tujamo and Plastik Funk - WHO (Original Mix) If you're not a one trick DJ, you'd [...]

Earlier this week, The Who announced their first tour in four years , where they will perform their classic 1973 album, Quadrophenia , in its entirety. Now, one venue on the tour is offering a sweet deal for some long-time fans that managed to hold on to a tiny piece of cardboard for a long time: they'll be honoring canceled concert tickets from a show 33 years ago. As SPIN.com points out, fans still in possession of tickets from the band's canceled December 1979 show can exchange these rock artifacts when the [...]

Gothamist Yesterday's news cycle brought not one but two treats for the baby boomers or those with boomer-like musical tastes. First, hot on the heels of the news that Bob Dylan would be releasing his 35th studio album, entitled Tempest , on September 11, came an extensive touring itinerary in support of the record that would bring the legendary artist - along with Mark Knopfler , himself not a no one - to the Air Canada Centre on November 14. Or course, as anyone who's seen Dylan [...]

I've learned two things from hanging out with jazz lovers this week: where to find good food and how to listen to horns. And this song's got nice horns. That solo saxophone starts off in such a classy and funky way that when the track follows up with the more edgy guitar riffs it makes for a nice surprise.And you wouldn't expect it, but Annie Clark' s soft voice sounds just right next to Byrne's howls. A collaboration between David Byrne and St. Vincent is even more than bringing together the voices of two generations, it's also bringing together two people [...]
