Yeah Yeah Yeahs Take a Stand Against Camera Phones
April 9, 2013
Let it be known: the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are not cool with you living your life through your smartphone. And they’re pretty adamant about it. On a door at a recent Webster Hall show in New York City was a sign asking fans to put down their mobile devices, reading: PLEASE DO NOT WATCH THE
Album Review: Lady Lamb the Beekeeper ‘Ripley Pine’
April 9, 2013
When I first heard of Lady Lamb the Beekeeper about four years ago I went looking for an album, but no proper record existed. It seemed inevitable she would get around to it, which she has, and at the time I looked forward to that for two reasons: First, because I hoped after listening to

April 8, 2013
The Final Four was officially in the books, but the music had just begun to play Sunday afternoon at the Big Dance Concert Series in Atlanta’s Centennial Park. The Capital One JamFest was a free concert for anyone who could pack their way into the park featuring heavyweight performances by acts like Dave Matthews Band,
Album Review: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds ‘Push the Sky Away’
April 6, 2013
For a man capable of anything, there is a whole lot of nothing going on with this record. That’s not to say that there is not immense talent being presented, or that Nick Cave’s poetry has fallen off. On the latter point he may have improved, at least to my taste, becoming a bit less

Billy Joel has essentially been in semi-retirement for the past three years or so, but he wanted Rolling Stone to know that he’s not retiring.

Rolling Stones Finally Reveal North American Tour, Add Hyde Park Shows
April 3, 2013
Surprise: The Rolling Stones are going on tour. Just kidding about the surprise part, everyone knew the Stones would tour. Everyone’s known since last year. But nobody from the band’s camp would tell us when. But after putting up billboards all over the country earlier this week promoting the announcement of the tour, we now
Why Ozzy Osbourne Got Kicked Out Of Black Sabbath
April 2, 2013
Following a legal battle between guitarist Tony Iommi and frontman Ozzy Osbourne over the band’s name, not to mention several denials from the former, the prospects of Black Sabbath jumping on the reunion bandwagon seemed highly unlikely to say the least. But after tentatively reforming last year, the heavy metal pioneers are now gearing up

March 29, 2013
Earlier this week the buzz around Justin Timberlake concerned the phenomenal sales of The 20/20 Experience, which topped the charts its first week out with 968,000 copies sold. That’s the most sales so far this year, and also the most since Taylor Swift moved more than 1 million copies of Red during its first week
