quicken the pace, quicken the heart…

 

 
I hope you all had a chance to get your free download of the new Maximo Park track Wraithlike made available through the band’s website after you checked it out through my stream here. A tease to be sure but it leaves me eagerly, make that feverishly awaiting the release of [...]

funkman…presented by red bull…?!

As you may or may not have figured out by now, I have a love/hate relationship with the rap realm.  There’s very little worth talking about since Outkast abdicated their throne and we’re now left with fakes, charlatans, bling merchants, LL Cool J’s desperation for continued relevance and as the Wu-Tang [...]

the red-haired one comes to america…

 
That’s right, kids. Finally comes the news that our dear La Roux is coming to America. This round will be a “Hello America” type deal that is sure to be followed by a much more involved jaunt later in the year.  If you know what’s good for you, you’ll be in attendance and have a [...]

they’re so electrik…

Dear bands,
Sending friend requests on MySpace actually does work! Here’s a nice little ditty from a pretty sweet band out of London, Brighton & Melbourne according to their MySpace. They are called Coco Electrick and their brand of electronic pop is sure to turn a few heads. Their recently released record Army Behind The Sun is [...]

the courteeners this saturday? y’alright?

Coming off of their sterling NYC debut last Tuesday, the Courteeners are taking a short break from their tour with the Moz to play a free show this Saturday at the Tribeca Grand Hotel. Can you say “SWEET”? By the way, did I mention that this was a free show? Yup. RSVP right now by [...]

jimmy fallon is the man…

Give Jimmy Fallon his credit. Yes, he’s not funny in the slightest. Yes, his movies are putrid but his recruiting of the Roots to be his house band did garner him a bit of respect from me. Add in the Public Enemy performance and now his booking of the Mozfather makes [...]

100? you don’t look a day over 99!

 

 
My how time flies… It’s my hundredth post! I would just like to take the opportunity to thank all of you my readers that I lovingly call my Suedeheads. You are the reason this blog exists. Well…you and my insatiable ego but it’s mostly you guys! The blog really is a labour of love and [...]

dream on, dream brother…

“I, I, I will battle for the sun, sun, sun, sun.
Cause I, I, I, have stared down the barrel of a gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun.
No fun, you, you, you, you, you are a cheap and nasty fake, fake, fake, fake, fake, fake, fake.
And I, I, I, I, I am the bones [...]

yes. it leaked…

Just letting my Suedeheads know that “Yes” has leaked. I don’t condone illegal downloading but I also know that you’re going to do it anyway so why waste my virtual breath, right? I will let you know now the record is simply magnificent upon the first couple of listens.  To whet your appetite if you [...]

jimmy fallon has actually done something right…

Public Enemy…and the Roots…on the same stage? Have I died and gone to hip-hop heaven? Rap royalty on stage is always a good thing but on Fallon’s show? I guess we’ll take what we can get. It’s good to see Flava Flav take a break from his busy schedule of providing [...]
