Tinariwen returns to the states in April. Catch these warriors turned musicians – rocking nomad blues from the South Sahara – as they make a small tour. You folks in San Fran, NYC and Chicago are in luck.
Percussive bassist, Stanley Clarke, releases his first acoustic trio album.
Alex Ross muses on Bob Dylan’s new release followed by more archetypal fare.
Speaking of Bob: Justin – you’ll be happy to know his shit stinks too.
Don’t get Opera? Well you either love it or you don’t. But don’t worry if she doesn’t turn you on, Lynyrd Skynryd is releasing a new album and touring with Kid Rock so get ready you non-opera lovers.
Where do the Decemberists go next? Yikes. You guessed it…folk rock opera.
Attention Pastors, check your smoke alarms. Varg Vikernes set to be released from prison. Varg himself says he is “ready for society.” Hmmm, I’m not sure how to interpret that. Wow only two hundred and ninety comments on this topic at MetalUnderground.com.
Stoked about the new Dylan. It’s been a while since he made a record that wasn’t really, really good. Love and Theft in particular remains one of my favorites from the last decade.
Varg is on the loose and will be teaming up with Deathclock. They will rule the universe.
I was kinda hoping that for their next act the shitty-ass no-talent pseudo-literate halfbreed inbred retard asshole shitheads the Decemberists were being sunk into the underwater volcano in Tonga. No such luck, it appears. I am forwarding their existence to Varg in hopes that he will exact black metal revenge on those fucktwits. Too much? So’s Irish folk music. We’ll live – a little anyway.
