This Week in Music History: May 13 - 19 -- I ..Filed under: News , Exclusive flickr When you're listening to your iTunes on shuffle and it kicks out Interpol , the Bravery or She Wants Revenge , you probably have a hard time distinguishing between them, right? We don't mean to beat a 2006-era joke into the ground, but they all do sound kinda the same. Which is quite unlike their spiritual fathers, '70s British post-punkers Joy Division . Now that's a band that still sounds unique to this day. Perhaps that's why Disney has gone so far as to cop Joy Division style for shirts , why there are Joy ...Spinner.com17 May 2012

Thieving Irons :: "Poison"You would be hard pressed to reach full maturity without at least once reflecting, "I've got poison in my head", as Brooklyn's Thieving Irons do so brilliantly on coming single, "Poison." This wouldn't have to be the self-medicated, over-the-counter poison of the suburbs, light American-style lagers in parking lots and basements. It wouldn't have to be the poison you can get prescribed to you by a medical doctor if you say the right things or complain of "recurrent and debilitating pain". It wouldn't have to be the poison that is the beauty and stupidity of ...32 feet per second15 May 2012

Don’t Come Around Here No MoreI have to tell you, for my money, it doesn’t get much better than Tom Petty’s 1985 song “Don’t Come Around Here No More” from the album Southern Accents. The song came from Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics. According to this website, he mentions in his book and in an interview he did with Howard Stern, that this song was inspired by Stevie Nicks, who had recently had a breakup with Joe Walsh. During a substance filled night Stewart ...The Giant Panther15 May 2012

The Festival Diaries: Day Four at New Orlean ..The final day of Jazz Fest was all about one thing: the Foo Fighters (sure they were out of place here, but then again so was Ne-Yo , so I wouldn’t overthink this “Jazz” definition). Anyone who knows me knows I’m a bit of a fanboy thanks to my adoption of their music from an early age. So it came with great joy that today I won access to the Acura VIP area, which had eluded me in days prior. With free food, drinks and access to the front of stage area, this timing could not have been more ...The AU Review14 May 2012

The Plant Kingdom: Green OnionsBooker T. & the M.G.’s : Green Onions (Live) [ purchase ] I woke up early this morning to two pieces of news—first, that our theme for the week was “The Plant Kingdom,” and second, that Donald “Duck” Dunn, the bass player who was a member of Booker T. & the M.G.’s, had died. I naturally thought of posting “Green Onions.” Then, I found out that Dunn joined the band after the song was released. On the other hand, having been a member since 1964, I have to assume that he played the song maybe a million times, so I ...Star Maker Machine13 May 2012
