Greetings from the gutter. That's where my mind is at the moment, and in honor of Valentine's Day on Tuesday, I'm going to spend the weekend splashing around down here, paying musical tribute to the next best thing two people can do together after falling in love (which, if you're lucky, will lead to even more of this). For those who prefer some music on the side, I've curated the perfect V-Day soundtrack. I didn't realize until I was halfway through that it's dominated by male performers. Female singers may move me more overall, [...]
Hall will play the Northeast with Sharon Jones and others in April.
The week is almost over, for some of you it's started already. So let's start this weekend off on the right foot! Featured Artist: DJ Kue A relatively local guy to us, based out of San Jose, CA. DJ Kue is quickly becoming one of dance music's fastest rising deejays and producers. His music has reached out to many and he also has several official remixes for artists. Childish Gambino Big Time Rush Karmin [...]
Mayer Hawthorne vs Daryl Hall - I Can't Go For That If you don't like this, there's something so wrong about your view of the world. Daryl Hall invited our boy, Mayer to his home for this amazing session. Here's a gem from it. ***dedicated to KTW - who's bday is coming up. City Hall's got love to give.***
Fred Falke has taken a shot at remixing Nero's dubstep mash-up between Kano's "Another Life" and Hall & Oates' "Out of Touch". A synthy French house version of Kano sounds familiar? Nero - Reaching Out(Fred Falke remix) by Fred Falke
Watch out boy, she'll chew you up.
I can't tell you how many people urged me to dial the "Callin' Oates" hotline yesterday. It's a pretty brilliant idea; everyone could use an ...
Greetings on this lovely Wednesday! I hope you're having a stellar week -- our Top 100 countdown will continue soon, but in the meantime, here ...
There are thousands of popular artists out there today making new singles all the time. With the increase of bedroom producers, though, the ability to simply download a whole studio that you can use right on your lap has made original songs more scarce. Now it seems that you're finding tens of thousands of remixes by artists [...]
Ep.508 - Hall and Oates @ Ryman Auditorium - Nashville, TN 12-8-11 Hall and Oates Video Concert Reviews - Nashville I made it downtown to the Ryman Auditorium a little past 7:30 last Thursday, in hopes to score a cheap seat to the sold-out Hall and Oates show. When I got there, there were few stragglers, and those stragglers were fans looking for tickets...not people wanting to sell their extras. A security guard let me know that there wasn't an opening act for this event, and the show had already started. He [...]
nero - reaching out [sampling the hall and oats track 'out of touch' (see below), nero revisits yet another pop classic for the new age. i wish they had other tricks up their sleeve since i really loved their #1 smash ' promises ', but for now it's all about 80's soul retread. shame...] hall and oats - out of touch [still an amazing song after all these years!] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld
Filed under: News , Exclusive , New Music , New Releases Universal Music Canada Fast-rising Canadian rockers Arkells were tapped to be the next big indie band out of the Great White North when their 'Jackson Square' album and its accompanying working-man anthem 'Oh, the Boss is Coming' came out in 2008. But then they discovered pop music. The resulting new album, ' Michigan Left ,' certainly won't [...]
Glee returns to pop music with a series of mostly 80s-themed mashups. Read our takes on and watch videos of covers of Van Halen, Hall and Oates, Blondie, Pat Benatar, Lady Gaga, Adele, and more!
Well that makes two episodes in a row that have Glee dialing back the reach for the "big scene," putting story -- and collective themes -- first. It suits the series, which reached its 300th performance with the final number, the Adele mashup performed by the new Glee kings of McKinley High, the Trouble Tones. While that performance one the day, you gotta give it up for the mustaches sported by New Directions during their Hall & Oates mashup . And makes [...]
Today I watched the footage of Chromeo performing live on the Jimmy Fallon Show, with Solange Knowles (major babe alert) - watch here. An amazing rendition of the song, and loved seeing it live with Solange. The inspiration for this post, however isn't from the performance, although it probably did inspire a few immaculate conceptions [...]
Over at the NPR Music blog The Record , Ann Powers has posted a list of eight shiver-inducingly terrible music videos —a list inspired by the recently released book, I Want My MTV: The Uncensored Story of the Music Video Revolution . From The Record: It's also maybe the first book best read at the computer, with your browser open to YouTube. Any given page triggers memories of a classically great or awful video. Rob Tannenbaum and Craig Marks, the book's co-authors, have been busy creating playlists to promote their [...]
It's been a fun, weird little ride watching Soviet evolve over the past 10 months from a flower-punk trio who seemed to release EP's on a weekly basis, to a 5-piece Weezer/Ozma hybrid more intent on fucking shit up than ever. In between we've seen the lineups fluxuate from 3 members, to 4, then back to 3 before settling on its current 5-piece state, with Andrew Weir going from the band's drummer to its guitarist and now to bass (the instrument he appears most comfortable on stage with). And then there's spastic frontman John Spies who has only gotten more [...]
Filed under: News , New Music , Exclusive Press Here Publicity Daryl Hall certainly took his time recording a follow-up to his last solo record, 1996's 'Can't Stop Dreaming.' The singer is back with 'Laughing Down Crying,' an album that was 10 years in the making. During that time, he's also worked with musical partner John Oates , hosted his Web series, ' Live From Daryl's House ' and become a husband and a [...]
Ah Betty ... how could you? Just a few weeks ago we were all bothered about yet another female celebrity caught naked, after someone hacked into her private cellphone stash. I still can't figure what's the problem - she took the pictures herself and obviously wanted somebody besides herself to see them (or else she could have just used a mirror to look at her own ass). Maybe she doesn't want us all to see these photos; maybe she just doesn't want us all to see these photos for free. Maybe she would rather [...]
