Didn't think 2011 was great for music? With my faves list, which contains alt. rock, electronic music, metal and more, hopefully you will think better of it and discover new favorites of your own.
It's no secret that FOX has a habit of canceling its best shows (to this day I still want to have a serious talking to with whoever decided Arrested Development had run its course). And after a recent Lie to Me obsession this summer, I was devastated to find there was no Season 4 to continue my marathon. So consider this playlist Part 1 of a final lament to yet another show that ended before its time. Lie to Me is a drama centered around Dr. Cal Lightman (Tim Roth - [...]
Ryan Adams' music has been woven taut and wooly through so many parts of my life in the last seven years, and writing objectively about his jaw-droppingly good show last night at Denver's Temple Buell Theater is tough. For me it was a parade of ventricle-punching, flushed-cheek-inducing song after song, and it felt like it was just for me. I was off in my own stratosphere. The show for me was intensely personal, hearing these passionately executed, pure renditions of songs I never really thought I'd get to hear live, and especially not with that much potency [...]
Madonna injures herself and the NBC suits scramble to find a replacement. Unfortunately, this is not real life, but rather the set-up for a hilarious segment on 30 Rock . Jack Donaghy has to call in some favors and drums up the talent of Michael McDonald, Cee Lo, Ryan Adams and Childish Gambino (aka Donald Glover) to cover "classic" NBC tracks. Incredibly, all three did the actual voice work for the sketch. I don't know much, but I would much rather watch this foursome covering NBC songs at the Super Bowl halftime show rather than whatever [...]

30 Rock has hit the web in a new webisode type of deal. In their latest episode Jack recruits Michael McDonald , Ryan Adams , and Childish Gambino for the Super Bowl Half-Time Show tryouts. The catch is there's no money in the budget and so the artist have to perform old NBC show theme songs to avoid clearance costs. At 2:50 it's Gambino's turn and he goes in over Knight Rider . I really hope he makes that into an actual track because it could be a banger.
Ruth Swanson Seeing San Francisco's Ty Segall at Halifax Pop Explosion 2010 was one of the most unexpectedly rowdy/violent shows I've ever been in the middle of, which was a bit surprising considering that as rough and garage-y as his stuff is, it's not all that heavy. Certainly not the obvious soundtrack for the bedlam that ensued that evening. Maybe it was just Halifax. Anyways, despite enjoying his music well enough, I've made a point of avoiding his shows as the odds of me getting kicked in the head seem to [...]
A Canadian Troubadour, Troy from Community and a Doobie Brother walk into the bar. Check out this animated vignette of Ryan Adams, Childish Gambino and Michael McDonald performing their own renditions of TV themes like Saved By The Bell, Passions, and Night Rider . Ultimately Cee-Lo Green (the Soul Machine) aka 'The Voice' takes the ship. Bravo, Tina Fey and crazy 30 Rock writers and shoutout to our very own Kenneth, Stuart .
Called upon to replace the injured Madonna!
Hands up, who loves 30 Rock ? And who loves the internet? In an amazing coming together of good things, 30 Rock has hit the web.

For their auditions, the three take on the theme songs from old TV shows - Saved By The Bell , Passions , and Night Rider . Watch on to see who wins. ( [...]

Portlandia acaba de perder o monopólio atual das participações especiais televisivas de ótimos músicos. 3o Rock, série de sucesso capitaneada por Tina Fey e sempre repleta de participações especiais, acaba de mostrar o seu lado musical através de um pequeno "webisode" animado, que contou com Ryan Adams , Cee-Lo Green , Childish Gambino (alter-ego musical do ator de outra série de sucesso, Donald Glover , de Community) e Michael McDonald . A premissa é simples: Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) precisa conseguir um substituto para Madonna às vésperas do show do intervalo do [...]
On the latest episode of The Donaghy Files , a 30 Rock spinoff of animated webisodes, Alec Baldwin's character finds himself tasked with throwing together a Super Bowl halftime show but unable to pay any clearance fees. This somehow leads to him bringing in a bunch of musicians to sing theme songs to old NBC shows. One of those guests is Ryan Adams, guesting as himself, who does a perfectly lovely acoustic version of the Passions theme and somehow makes it sound exactly like a Ryan Adams song. We also get Michael McDonald [...]
Even if you're not a big fan of the Super Bowl, you will watch the half time show. What happens though when the show's star Madonna gets injured and can't perform? NBC 30 Rock's Jack Donaghy (played by Alec Baldwin) calls upon Ryan Adams, Childish Gambino and Michael McDonald to try to fill in. How did it all turn out? Watch the animated webisode below: Social Bookmarking...
30 Rock is insane. It's also the best (read: funniest) show on TV right now. But it's (again) insane, especially when ... Read the full article at http://www.prefixmag.com/news/ video-ryan-adams-childish-gamb inos-super-bowl-half/61356/

Oh man. This is almost too good to believe. Michael McDonald, Cee Lo, Ryan Adams and Childish Gambino (aka Donald Glover, onetime 30 Rock writer) provide voice and song cameos in this 30 Rock short. Madonna injures herself and the NBC suits scramble to find a replacement. These three stars have to cover "classic" NBC [...]
Here is a list of things about the Ryan Adams show at the Music Hall last night: 1.) Alcohol was served in the lobby areas, but we weren't allowed to bring it into the theater. Prior to Adams' set, all the lines for booze were at least 50 people deep and not budging.… [ Read more ] [ Subscribe to the comments on this story ]
Enquanto alguns artistas passam pelos programas de rádio mais populares dos EUA para apresentar uma, duas, três músicas no máximo, Ryan Adams realizou um verdadeiro show perante uma pequena platéia e uma grande audiência da rádio KCRW. E não foi qualquer show não: Ryan revisitou inúmeras partes de sua carreira de maneira acústica e intimista na sessão, que está disponível agora, em excelente qualidade de som e imagem, na internet. A sessão conta com todos os destaques de Ashes & Fire , álbum mais recente do compositor, e ainda inclui uma entrevista bem [...]
