The Stones weren't the only ones to meet a gin-soaked barroom queen in Memphis - listen to what happened when five other artists did the same thing...
The same procedure as every year: Kurz vor Silvester sitze ich wie so ziemlich jeder andere Musikblogger, -journalist und fast jeder -fan vor der schweren Aufgabe, meine Jahrescharts zu erstellen. Und wie immer wird mir spätestens morgen noch ein Album oder Song einfallen, den ich entweder hier vergessen habe oder bis heute noch gar nicht kenne. Das gesagt, hier ist mein kleiner Jahresrückblick. (Inhalt: Schlechte Musik | Konzerte des Jahres | Songs des Jahres | Video des Jahres | Alben des Jahres ) [...]

REPOST from 2008 (with slight updating): - I remember when the Apollo 8 astronauts went into space, right before Christmas in 1968. That was a rough year - Martin Luther King and Robert F. Kennedy were shot, Vietnam was a bloody stain on the other side of the world. Violence boiled over into the streets. As Christmas week opened, three men in a little metal capsule hurtled through space toward the moon. The astronauts of Apollo 8 were the first humans to reach the orbit of another planetary body. As they streaked across the dark side of the [...]

In August of 1987, The Pogues released what is often called one of the best Christmas songs of all time, "Fairytale of New York". While the band was recording their album If I Should Fall From The Grace of God with producer Steve Lillywhite, he asked his wife Kristy MacColl to sing vocals on a demo version of the song "Fairytale of New York". The Pogues were so impressed with her contribution to the song that they asked her to sing on what was to become the studio version of "Fairytale of New York". Initially when writing the [...]

On the television screen is Bedford Falls and It's A Wonderful Life . I didn't grow up with viewings of It's A Wonderful [...]

London singer/songwriter and rapper does a solo version of the classic Christmas duet
With everyone fixated on John Lewis' Christmas advert, this seems to have slipped by: Really, Tesco? The Fairytale Of New York? I guess this means that the song has now melted so far in our national psyche that the lyrics have been replaced with just a chanting of "Christmassy Christmassy Christmassy" whenever we hear it? -- Visit No Rock & Roll Fun to comment, complain and kvetch
Iggy Pop, Johnny Depp, Rufus Wainwright, Marianne Faithfull, and Shane MacGowan of the Pogues all sing Serge Gainsbourg songs (in French) on a new tribute album.
Today is Veterans' Day in the United States - a day we set aside each year to honor and give thanks to the men and women who have defended our many freedoms. Veterans' Day is close to the holiday season that includes Thanksgiving and Christmas, and that helps us to remember that many of these brave people in uniform will not be home with family and friends over that celebratory time. Thank you for your sacrifice, and your patriotism. MP3: "Sam Stone" by John Prine [...]
