Morgenes uundgåelige på den indre jukebox var Rolling Stones’ “Get off of my cloud“. Det var en af de sange, der gjorde et stort indtryk på mig, dengang den udkom i 1965. Det var dengang, man endnu var enten til Beatles eller Stones. Men sange som denne og forgængeren “(I can’t get no) satisfaction” slog [...]

Released in 1967 on Verve Records, just one year after ‘Freak Out’, the Mothers’ feral, audaciously progressive debut, ‘Absolutely Free’ expanded impressively on their already extraordinary multi-genre output. Incorporating the very best of blues and R&B; alongside intricate orchestration, its improvisations and explosive post-modern cut ‘n’ paste techniques piloted a whole new genre of rock which was fiercely intelligent and simultaneously humorous. As Zappa demonstrated throughout his inexhaustible career, he had an unprecedented touch in appropriating and subjugating musical forms. Like a mischievous magpie he mashed up garage rock with cheesy radio jingles, experimental jazz, doo-wop and dissonant symphonic forms ...

Kristen Wiig got an amazing sendoff from SNL last Saturday with performances by The Rolling Stones’ Mick Jagger and Foo Fighters, amongst others. Jagger [...]

As you may already have known, the Foo Fighters performed with Mick Jagger during the season finale of Saturday Night Live this past weekend. And following the episode (which The Rolling Stone frontman hosted), Dave Grohl and company performed the after-show party under the alias “Chevy Metal.” And in addition to performing Rolling Stones’ hits [...]

So the afterparty for last weekend’s SNL season finale looks like it was pretty fun. The Foo Fighters, who’d just helped out host Mick Jagger on the show, ended up playing a set of covers in the middle of Rockefeller Center under the goofy-joke cover-band name Chevy Metal. They played the Rolling Stones’ “Miss You” [...]

I am blinded by the glare of white skin, honkeys celebrating the honkeyness of a honky moment, the culmination of honkey culture for the past decade. This clip is the embodiment of the self-congratulatory culture that bridges the divide between television and the people who sit on the internet to overrate it. The clip contains A-list honky celebs, blog darlings who are the mouthpiece of modern high-end honkeyism. It is the beginning of an era. It is the end of an era. The clip was intended to 'say goodbye to Kristen Wiig', the most notable SNL castmember who was basically ...

I’ve always been a fan of The Rolling Stones’ tune “Ruby Tuesday.” So after watching Fire">Arcade Fire perform the track alongside Mick Jagger for the Kristen Wiig farewell on SNL, I was inspired to feature it here. The tune was released in 1967 as the b-side to the single “Let’s Spend The Night Together” and [...]

It seems that each day we’re learning of another musician who has passed away after battling cancer.

Tickets will run $10, with proceeds ...

This weekend we said goodbye to the 37th season of Saturday Night Live until next fall. While our favorite comedy sketch show will return next season, sadly one of our favorite cast members,  Kristen Wiig , won’t!  The Bridesmaids star said goodbye for good to SNL after a fun-filled seven years on the show this past Saturday, and while the iconic comedy program was full of laughs as usual, it was also full of some teary-eyed moments. PHOTOS: Kristen Wiig And Lauren Stone Get Hot And Tasty in Black! Kristen started her farewell by starring in a graduation skit hosted ...

It’s often difficult to splice apart your senses, to distinguish – say – the smell of lemonade from its taste. Go on, just think about it – the two are intertwined, the fizz sparkling on your tongue and searing your nose. So when we say that My Best Fiend’s debut album ‘In Ghostlike Fading’ has a visual quality, that their music simply suggests something for the eyes, this isn’t an observation we come to lightly. Named after a Werner Herzog film, the New York group boast a background in visual arts which has deeply influenced the way they approach making ...

Mick Jagger stepped in as guest host of Saturday Night Live over the weekend, joined by Fire">Arcade Fire, Foo Fighters and more. Well this is... odd. Mick Jagger was recruited by Saturday Night Live as a guest host, helping to chaperone the latest series finale. A spectacular, all-singing / all-dancing event, Mick Jagger blasted through a few Rolling Stones classics with Fire">Arcade Fire and Foo Fighters on hand to help him out. Yes, seriously.
