British invasion

Britain's music invasion may have happened 40 years ago but the current crop of musicmakers from across the pond are still making major noise if the Top Ten concerts of 2006 in Toronto are any indication. Half of the artists on the list hail from England -- including The Who, who were part of the...

bands i've seen live

Just because it's not on my space anymore and I wanna, kinda, keep track of who I've seen and how many times I've seen a certain band. So I decided to Vox it. SEVEN TIMES: never heard of it && nude SIX TIMES: up syndrome FIVE TIMES: oh no not stereo && a change of pace FOUR TIMES: we are lions &&...

All Europe needs is the Beatles' 'Love'

LONDON -- Forget the Arctic Monkeys, Lily Allen, the phenomenon of TV's "X Factor" or the comeback of Take That. The biggest event in British rock 'n' pop this year was the "new" Beatles album "Love." Released by EMI in November, "Love" hit No. 1 in the Europewide album chart with over a million...

Freaks, Fakers and Fainters

OK, so, about that concert I went to last week. I mentioned that I’d get back to a few of the more interesting points of the evening and I am now here to keep my word. As you know from Part 1, Karin and I were standing in line about a block from the Showbox, around the corner of 1st and Pike in...

Starting on Monday September 17 with Paul McCartney, the hour-long evening shows will see the stars playing the tunes that inspired them and in some way led them to make...

Difficult second album syndrome

It’s one thing for a band to explode from nowhere with a classic debut album. Following it up is a far greater challenge. The second album, traditionally, is a band’s opportunity to transcend their original fanbase, infiltrate the mainstream. A great sophomore effort can catapult a band into the...

1.) What curse word do you use the most? fuck or any variation of fuck. 2.) Do you own an iPod? used to, then decided that ipods are lame and got something better. 3.) Who on your Myspace "Top 8" do you talk to the most? i don't even know who's in my top 8. 4.) What time is your alarm clock set for?...

New Music: Dan Le Sac VS Scroobius Pip

Visually, Matisyahu. Vocally, The Street. At least, that's what those of us stateside would know, considering they actually made it on the radio. The lyrics to this song are amazing, and the beat is great. Dan Le Sac is good at what he does, if you're into that sort of thing, and Scroobius Pip...

"Thou Shalt Always Kill" - my analysis

Thou shalt not steal if there is direct victim. Fair enough. It doesn't seem that bad when people steal from faceless companies I guess. Thou shalt not worship pop idols or follow lost prophets. Damn right! Lostprophets are a terrible band, and when has any good music come out of pop idol? Or X...

I dig this... 5 - Richard Hawley

The tales of love and loss by Sheffield’s tormented troubadour, Richard Hawley, will always find a way into Rob Peacock’s play list… Humdrum urban life has always made good song writing fodder. You use it one of two ways; detail the squalor and seediness of backwater Britain to paint a gritty...

Austin City Limits Music Festival 2007 Official Lineup

The Austin City Limits Music Festival 2007 official lineup is online. Once again, as always, the diversity of the musical lineup is impressive. This is what makes ACL Fest so special compared to the other major music festivals in America. I already purchased my three day pass a month ago. Here's an...

Keep Your Distance - The Paddingtons

The Paddingtons never made it. They never really translated the energy of their live shows to record; and they got steamrollered by the Arctic Monkeys bandwagon. But I always liked them, and had fond memories of the early gigs. There was one track from their set I absolutely loved, but never knew...

So, The Beholder walks into a bar...

"You are the fugitive, but you don't know what you're running from. You can't kid us and you couldn't trick anyone. Houdini, love, you don't know what you're running away from." ("Old Yellow Bricks", Arctic Monkeys) You can always tell how I'm feeling by looking at my eyes. If they look happy, but...
