November 20, 2012
There have been hints floating around for some time that Garth Brooks may return to touring in 2014, and now it looks like a world tour may in fact be in the works for 14. Brooks just wrapped up a three-year residency at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas, and the hotel’s owner, Steve Wynn
Album Review: Christina Aguilera ‘Lotus’
November 18, 2012
Who would have thought that Christina Aguilera would put out one of the best pop collections of the year? No, really; I mean it. I posted it on my Facebook and everything, and nobody there believed me either. Lotus is not the paint-by-numbers record I expected it to be. It makes a solid case for
Album Review: Aerosmith ‘Music From Another Dimension’
November 17, 2012
From the intro this almost seems to want to be a concept album, but the auditory wow-factor of moving sound from one ear to the other is not exactly cutting edge at this stage in the history of rock music. It’s Aerosmith’s first record in more than a decade and the introduction feels like it

November 15, 2012
Legendary bluesman Buddy Guy will be heading out on the road next month for a North American tour along with Jonny Lang. The tour will kick off at the Horseshoe Casino and Hotel in Bossier City, La. on Feburary 2, 2013, and is scheduled to continue through an April 20 date at Massey Hall in
Concert Review: Regina Spektor at The Tabernacle in Atlanta
November 11, 2012
It’s been a shade over three years since Regina Spektor was last in Atlanta promoting her album Far, and needless to say, her Atlanta fan base has been clamoring loudly for a sprinkle of that sonic goodness that only she can deliver. They turned out in force to see their favorite piano-flavored singer-songwriter, easily selling
Album Review: KISS ‘Monster’
November 10, 2012
It feels like I should be talking about how long it has been since this band took up the charge of heavy, epic rock music, but they have technically been back for a while now, with 2009’s Sonic Boom being a slightly glossier attempt at a rebirth. I listened to that record, but don’t ask
Album Review: Taylor Swift ‘Red’
November 9, 2012
Taylor Swift is a bit anomalous in her ability to come off as charming and intelligent while focusing her creative efforts on types of music more closely associated with people who can neither write, nor sing, nor play an instrument. Genre, though, does not define an artist, and nobody is too cool for straight pop
Black Sabbath Set to Tour Australia in 2013
November 1, 2012
It’s been quite the ride for Black Sabbath over the past year, but now the group has announced a new Australian tour as well their first new album since 1978 to feature Ozzy Osbourne on vocals. A tour and new record featuring the reunited original lineup was initially announced late last year, but was later
Album Review: David Byrne & St. Vincent ‘Love This Giant’
October 28, 2012
Annie Clark has had a career path almost as interesting as that of David Byrne, though hers has been compressed into one momentous decade. As St. Vincent she has made a tremendous impression with her music, and has certainly grown to be much larger than just a member of some greater whole, though she still
Album Review: Band of Horses ‘Mirage Rock’
October 27, 2012
This band is almost completely different from the Band of Horses who made their mark with their 2005 debut, Everything All the Time. Lineup changes have come with each of their four releases up until now, when for the first time the band has managed to hold a lineup together. The result should be a
