First, there was the new Queen, see my review at: Queen + Paul Rodgers (Miami Concert Review w/set list) and now there’s American Idol doing Queen. Many Queen fans expected a train wreck, and indeed a train wreck is what we got. Fat Bottomed Girls: I never pictured this as a country song. I am […]
First, I must say Queen are still a force to be reckoned with — let nobody say otherwise. After seeing this concert, I will fight anyone who says otherwise. Now that we have that away. They performed Friday 3 March 2006 at Miami, the opening date of their first US concert tour in over 20 […]
Eric Hedlund posted a version of this in his blog on 1-22-06. I’ve modified it and put it here. Load up iTunes, my friends, for a fun experiment. (You can do this with your iPod, or other music program if you prefer). Prepare your answers and post them here as comments…. You have to tell […]
Here’s my review of last night’s Billy Joel concert. He’s sold out two shows here, something he always did when used to perform regularly — in fact standing room only seats were sold at the Bank Atlantic Center, which is rarely done here. This show was 1-7 and the next is coming up next week […]
I watched Live8 on MTV/VH1 (same feed) — missing parts for various reasons. However, I must say MTV which is, in theory, a music channel should be removed from the air for their atrociously horrendous and offensive coverage. Every single artist was shown disrespect by the VJs talking over one or more of the artists’ […]
(Original Posted 6-12-05)http://tinyurl.com/a92ey This may not excite most of my readers, but it excites the hell out of me. These one-off reunions in the past (for various bands) have resulted in new albums sometimes. I have always wanted to see Pink Floyd in concert and never got the chance. The slight, remote chance they might […]
First, the world famous and very ribald Hedgehog Song (as seen in Terry Pratchett’s works) http://tinyurl.com/8azkx Second, we have Maxwell’s Silver Hammer by the Beatles unlike you’ve ever seen it.http://tinyurl.com/86eo4 I hope this improves your weekend considerably. — E
Why on earth did Crazy Frog beat Coldplay as Britain’s number one song? Yeah, okay, it’s just totally wrong. But you gotta admit a video of a frog with a dick muttering incoherently to Axel-F’s theme has some charm to it. If you want the unedited one (with the Frog’s dangly bits not blurred out): […]
This was a banner weekend for audio and video. First, I finally bought and listened to Green Day’s American Idiot . It’s fantastic through and through. Not your usual Green Day, but it’s just amazing. Not only does it (literally) rock, it’s got a great deal to say. I recommend this album to everyone who […]
This is a retro-post. I put this online 24 December 2005 using the date it was originally sent out. (FIRST, an excerpt from the San Jose Mercury News) MUSICAL ABOUT THE COUNTERCULTURE ICON JUMPS ON BROADWAY’S NOSTALGIA BANDWAGONBy Karen D’Souza “Imagine all the people sharing all the world.” Now imagine nine actors, male and female, […]
