HD Video by G. The Johnny Marr concert last week in Brooklyn was so epic, it's hard to even put it into words.  Just to see Johnny play the guitar was a treat, but also his new solo album "The Messenger" is great, he played a handful of Smiths songs, Andy Rourke of The Smiths guested on stage giving us probably the closest thing to a Smiths reunion that we'll ever see and also did a pair of songs by Electronic!  Wow!  The video you are about to see is "Getting Away With It," the first single by [...]

HD Video by G. Under the category "songs I never thought I'd ever hear performed live," the song "London" by The Smiths was on that list.  But Johnny Marr, formerly of the band whipped it out during his really amazing show at Music Hall of Williamsburg last week.  You can see a review of the show (which featured the closest thing we'll probably ever see to a Smiths reunion) here .  You'll also note that even though he didn't sing on the studio version of the track, he kills it!  Check out "London" by just pressing play. [...]

HD Video by G. History was made last night during Johnny Marr's excellent sold out show at Music Hall of Williamsburg on May 3, 2013.  He brought his old friend and Smiths band-mate Andy Rourke up on stage for the show's finale, "How Soon Is Now?"  Epic is an understatement, but you can draw your own conclusions.  Just press play!

Photos and Video by G. Tom Odell Several months ago, I saw British singer Tom Odell's first US show .  I was blown away watching the 21 year old singer who at times channels Thom Yorke, Chris Martin and Tom Waits.  Needless to say, I was very excited to see Tom Odell on his second trip to New York where he performed at Bowery Ballroom on May 2, 2013.  The show opened with folk/rock singer Jeremy Messersmith who got the crowd in good mood with [...]

HD Video by G. On April 15, 2013, Muse kicked off their two night stand at Madison Square Garden in New York.  Muse always puts on a good show and as far as their set goes, this might be their best tour yet.  They went on just around 9:05 pm and played for 2 hours.  The first song of the night was "Supremacy" and it went a little something like this... [...]

HD Video by G. Lindsey Buckingham is a rock god.  This video will prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt, that he is one of the greatest guitar players of all time.  This particular song is what keeps me coming back to see Fleetwood Mac tour after tour because... well, you will see. Enjoy an amazing performance of "I'm So Afraid" live by Fleetwood Mac on April 8, 2013 at Madison Square Garden in New York . [...]

HD Video by G. On April 7, 2013, The Fixx played the Bell House in Brooklyn .  The final encore was one of my favorite tracks from the 1980s, "Secret Separation."  Towards the end of the song, lead singer Cy Curnin threw in a few lines from Tina Turner's classic "Better Be Good To Me" and if you'll recall, Cy makes a cameo in that music video. Enjoy "Secret Separation!" [...]

HD Video by G. The following is why you should see Leonard Cohen every chance you get.  He's beyond amazing.  Listen to the gorgeous lyrics of "Suzanne" and maybe Leonard will touch your perfect body with his words... This video is from Radio City Music Hall on April 6, 2013 .  Enjoy! [...]

HD Video by G. What a day!  I get to premiere not one, but two new tracks from Fleetwood Mac today!  The first, of course, was the previously unreleased Buckingham Nicks classic "Without You" from Madison Square Garden in New York on April 8, 2013. What you are about to see is another new song entitled "Sad Angel."  It rates up there with the classic Fleetwood Mac sound that made the world fall in love with them and you will also hear Lindsey Buckingham tell the world that the song will [...]

HD Video by G. I've been a Fleetwood Mac fan for most of my life.  Lindsey Buckingham is a god to me.  I can't get enough of the Lindsey/Stevie era of Fleetwood Mac which  is roughly from 1975 to present day (with some years off in the 80s and 90s).  Before Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham joined Fleetwood Mac, they were a duo known as Buckingham Nicks.  Their one and only album has never been issued on CD, though it's quite easy to track down on the internet in digital format.  It was overlooked at the time, but [...]

HD Video by G. The artist was present on April 1, 2013 at the IFC center in New York as artist Marina Abramovic was on hand to talk about one of her favorite films, “The Color Of Pomegranates” (1968) directed by Sergei Parajanov.  In the discussion, Marina talked about David Lynch , if movies are art (which you will see below) and she also talked about how the United States feels the need to categorize everything.  For example, rather than discuss the works of art in a museum, this country will say "x number of pieces are [...]

Marina Abramovic at IFC The artist was present last night (April 1, 2013) at the IFC center in New York as artist Marina Abramovic was on hand to talk about one of her favorite films, "The Color Of Pomegranates" (1968) directed by Sergei Parajanov.  In the discussion, Marina talked about David Lynch (which you will see a video of below), if movies are art (which you will see a video of in the coming days, so stay tuned) and she talked about [...]

HD Video by G. Garbage rocked the house at Terminal 5 in New York with a sold out show on March 22, 2013.  This video will give you a little taste of how awesome the show was. The setlist was: Push It / Queer / Automatic Systematic Habit / Hammering in my Head / Blood For Poppies / Special / Why Do You Love Me / #1 Crush / I Think I'm Paranoid / The One / The Trick Is To Keep Breathing / Control / Cherry Lips / Cup of Coffee / Stupid [...]

Photos by G. Shirley Manson and Geoffrey Dicker I love Shirley Manson so much, I don't even know where to begin.  Perhaps in the mid 1990s when all I was interested in musically was New Wave, Classic Rock and Prince Bootlegs...  The Alternative music scene which had become uber-popular did absolutely nothing for me and as a result, I lost out on seeing bands like Nirvana when there were many chances to check them out.  But then I heard the voice of an angel (and formerly [...]

Video by G. The other night I saw the incredibly funny Fred Armisen in concert.  It was a mix of music, videos and stand up comedy. He told the audience that he is a master of doing impersonations of accents.  In fact, he encouraged the audience to request an accent and Fred would impersonate it.  And it went a little something like this... [...]

HD Video by G. Please keep in mind when you watch this incredible performance of "Taste It," that the singer, Jake Bugg is 18 years old!   Wow!  If he's this good this young, the world is his oyster!  Can't wait to see Jake Bugg take over the world!  For now, enjoy a world exclusive video of "Taste It" live in New York . [...]

HD Video by G. I'm pretty much obsessed with this song at the moment.  If you don't know Jessie Ware' s music, you need to fix that immediately!  She's as elegant as Sade or Annie Lennox and I think and hope she will become a huge star!  Enjoy a video of "Running" live in New York . [...]

HD Video by G. The studio version of "Feels Like We Only Go Backwards" by Tame Impala is my favorite song of 2012 by a mile! Here's a live version, my lovelies! I'm not asking for your sympathy, but just know I walked over a mile in a blizzard, had subway delays, had to transfer to 3 different subway lines (due to said delay) and had to sneak this recording because security at this venue all of a sudden doesn't allow videos (and just check the archives for proof they used to!)... JUST FOR [...]

HD Video by G. I will never get over having Grace in my face seeing the legendary Grace Jones at Roseland Ballroom in New York on October 27, 2012.  One of the many highlights of the night was Grace's rendition of Edith Piaf's "La Vie En Rose."  Thinking it was the extended version, Grace missed her cue to start singing and, well... you'll see what happened once you click play!  Love you Grace!  Thanks again for an amazing night!
