NEWS: GOVERNORS BALL ANNOUNCES 2016 LINE UP!
I think I actually like this line up more than Coachella! Incredible line-up. So many of my favorites, such as, well, it would be easier to list the artists that are not among my favorites. But in most of those cases I actually haven’t heard them yet so it would be unfair to do…

#albumoftheweek = DAVID BOWIE: ★ (pronounced “Blackstar”)
When David Bowie suddenly rushed back onto the scene with his surprise album The Next Day in 2013, I was elated. He’s long been one of my favorite artists — ever since his 1997 album Earthling — and I could not have been more pleased with the album. It was dark, edgy and experimental, an…

KILLER REMIX: EDITORS – “OCEAN OF NIGHT (HENRI PFR REMIX)”
I’m a big fan of Editors, so much so that I cringed at the idea of someone remixing them. They’re just not that sort of band. Or so I thought until I listened to Henri PFR’s reworking of “Ocean of Night” today. For the most part, he retains the structure of the song, he just…

#songoftheday = Lukas Nelson & Promise Of The Real -” Something Real”
Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real will release their much hyped third album on March 11th and if the lead track, “Something Real,” is any indication then it’s going to be one hell of a country rock party. Here’s hoping it’s not so self-serious as Neil Young’s album with Promise of the Real, The…

#songoftheday = WITH CONFIDENCE: “WE’LL BE OKAY”
It’s not like the music world was in short supply of pretty-looking, young guys who skateboard, but With Confidence has arrived nevertheless. And, surprisingly, they’re not bad. The song starts off only so-so, but once it hits the bridge it pulls you in and then the high energy chorus french kisses you.

PREPARE TO GET EXCITED… IT’S THE OFFICIAL COACHELLA 2016 LINE UP!
Well, I am drooling over this line-up. I mean, c’mon, LCD Soundsystem and Guns N’ Roses reunited?! Granted, so far all we know is that GN’R will have Axl Rose, Slash and Duff McKagen, but even if the other two members are from the later day version of GN’R, it would still be a blast…

LOVE IS POP’S 60 BEST ALBUMS OF 2015
by Michael McCarthy Each year, I feel overwhelmed before writing a “best albums of” list. There are always so many releases that I’ve loved during any given year, it makes it very difficult to narrow them down to a reasonable number. (When I first listed my best from this year, it was 144 albums long.)…

#songoftheday / VIDEO: Diplo & Sleepy Tom – “Be Right There”
Diplo doesn’t need help from anyone else to create a mammoth EDM banger, but he’s collaborated with Sleepy Tom here anyway and you can thank your lucky stars that he did because the result is a truly invigorating beast of a song. It also features gorgeous vocals, an interpolation of Jade’s classic “Don’t Walk Away,”…

#albumoftheday / REVIEW: PSY: 칠집싸이다 THE 7TH ALBUM
Are you among the 60 million people who’ve seen the zany video for Psy’s big comeback song “Daddy” yet? If not, click play above already! Do it! Suffice to say that Psy is back with his crazy dance moves, amusing sight gags, and lots of general weirdness. The song isn’t bad either. Actually, the song’s great.…

#songoftheday / REVIEW: Clément Bcx – “Miracle In The Middle Of My Heart”
It’s a fantastic song that skirts between sounding like mellow singer/songwriter music and throbbing club beats and in the end there’s a gospel style chorus that enters the picture and elevates it into something truly unique.

#songoftheday Mindy Gledhill – “Little Soldier” (Live Music Video)
“Little Soldier” is a beautiful Christmas ballad by the always fabulous singer/songwriter Mindy Gledhill.
I’m glad you like Television and I think all of the versions should be on Spotify!
Great review!
I’ve grown to love this album over the years. It’s so underappreciated. Thanks for the thoughtful review.
Very nice and informative interview
I really enjoyed this review. I was at the MSG shows and they were equally impressive.
