We’re all VERY excited about SIFF o’er here in TIG-land, and most especially excited about the 2016 Face the Music screenings! The theme of this year is the all-mighty “Documentary,” featuring eight films that span genres from hip-indie tunes to ’60s hits, hard rock, and classical piano. Check out the history behind the longest-running music program in television history […]
Hello dear February and all that you’ve brought with you this week! Political things are kicking up and getting real with all kinds of insanity and importance. Have you caucused before? I remember the first caucus I went to back in 2004. Thank goodness I had the guide that our pal Lawrence put together for […]
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here to celebrate this thing called…football? Like something culled straight from of the “Say Whaaaaaaa?” files, the proprietor of Paisley Park has again pulled a one-two punch on his fan base and set his sights on a new horizon of sorts. Perhaps the heady combination of the gridiron, a big […]
According to the World Wide Web, rumors are flying of both Rage Against the Machine and Prince (!!) appearances at this year's Bumbershoot. If this is true, my brain might just explode in anticipation! Anyone close to the source know if there's any truth to this nonsense? Hat tip to Ear Candy!
Prince can be a baffling fellow sometimes. First, he gives away his new album in UK newspapers, now he's suing most of the internet for infringing on his copyrights. Now, I can't really understand how he can be so against the music industry big-wigs, yet act just like them. But hey, he's Prince. He once […]
Somehow I've missed until now the fact that Miley Cyrus (aka Hannah Montana of Disney Channel and tween pop fame) is the daughter of none other than Billy Ray Cyrus, the man you also brought us "Achy Breaky Heart." Talk about as close to the antichrist as one can get to bring us both of […]
After many lean New Release Tuesdays, we finally have one with a bit of meat on its bones! Seattle labels have out a couple of hot releases: Barsuk releases John Vanderslice's Emerald City and it is just plain gorgeous! Sub Pop has put out Tiny Vipers Hands Across The Road. Jesy Fortino is Tiny Vipers […]
I love hearing about the different things rockstars put on their rider, so when I read this, I had to pass it along: Prince demanded a popcorn machine be put on his rider at a concert in Switzerland earlier this week, it has been claimed. The diminutive pop legend appeared at the Montreux Jazz Festival […]
Prince must really love the UK these days. Not only is he playing a long residency in London, but now he's giving away his new album Planet Earth for FREE in The Mail on Sunday. No, this isn't a sampler or live disc, this is the honest-to-goodness album. Yes, he's just giving away his album […]
I just saw this one on MP3.com, via the fabulous Brooklyn Vegan: looks like Prince will be setting up a 21 show residency in the UK starting this August, and he's hoping to get British soulstress (and my imaginary BFF) Amy Winehouse to join him! According to the article, Prince hopes she will join him […]
