 A reader sent me this picture of Sinead and asked for my opinion of her new look. My honest opinion? She looks just me when I was in college, except with better hair and fashion sense. I was a real mess. It would’ve done me some good to look more like Elton John. At least he was [...]  Someone as original as Kate Bush seems to divide the world between loyal admirers (among them, David Gilmour, John Lydon and P.J. Harvey) and puzzled, often irritated and even angry detractors. One commenter on YouTube sums it up nicely: “Many artists try hard to be weird but aren’t really convincing. Kate Bush is naturally mental.” This video [...]  Heard a great interview with ICP on Howard Stern. Howard is a fan of this video (who wouldn’t be?), but, not surprisingly, took them to task on their lyrics dissing scientists. “Don’t you think science is necessary?” Howard nudged them. “I mean, don’t you understand that if it weren’t for science, our lives wouldn’t be what [...] Video gracias a Sergio Jungle. Rob D., cantando el clásico de Janis, en Anti-Karaoke Madrid el miércoles pasado. Lo califico como el momento más eléctrico de la historia del show allí. Fue su última actuación en AK porque vuelve a su tierra natal, EE.UU. Le voy a echar mucho de menos, tanto como amigo como estrella querida del [...]  I don’t remember if this was the first Bob Seger song I ever heard. What I do know is that the first time I heard it on the radio — on some classic rock station in Milwaukee — I was very young, and it blew my mind. My whole body knew I was hearing something [...]  I wrote about the American videoclip series Schoolhouse Rock in my last post. It’s fun to note that Schoolhouse Rock has inspired a number of popular cover versions, such as Elliot Smith’s eerily beautiful cover of “Figure 8″: Perhaps the most popular Schoolhouse Rock song to cover is “Three is the Magic Number”. De La Soul did a [...]  Good people are happy people. Happy people make other people feel good. They do good in the world just by being themselves and remaining happy… because they spread their happiness over everything they touch. Seriously – can you think of a better way to be? One of the many things that made Ronnie James Dio so special [...]  Here’s a sneak preview of my interview with Lips Kudlow, singer of Anvil and star of Sacha Gervasi’s critically-acclaimed documentary Anvil! The Story of Anvil. The interview will be coming out in the April issue of Popular 1, along with another interview of mine, with legendary rock photographer Neil Zlozower. It was fun and interesting conversation. Lips [...]
Just re-posted an old story from my old blog. It’s my favorite. Check it out: http://popular1.com/rachelarieff/stories/i-blame-music/ If you’ve already read it, I plan to have something else up later today. When I left the U.S. to live in Barcelona, Bush was in his first term as President, we were a couple years into the War on Terror, America was a nation filled with fear and hate, and there was nobody like Rachel Maddow on TV. Times have changed. Hallelujah and praise Jesus, for once. I love Rachel [...] |
