I was thinking of a few of my NYC pals Kevin & Cindy, who spearhead an '80s cover band called The Fades that played a gig at LES' Fontanas on Thursday. It got me to remembering mainstream 80s music, much of which I have not listened to in a while (exception Billy Idol - never out of style on ...

I'm hopeful that the new film Pirate Radio is cool. The film is based on the renegade broadcasters of the 1960s in the offshore international waters outside British broadcasting jurisdiction, and it features British invasion rock music and big stars.

Over-the-top observations from an over-the-hill rocker: - Weezer 's new CD 'Raditude' is getting so-so reviews from many leading music critics ( check MetaCritic ). Most can't seem to deal with Cuomo's jokey, tossed-off pop lyrics. I kinda like it. He's a smart guy. He knows what he's doing. ...

Caught a fast, fun set by Teenage Bottlerocket last night at Chasers' in Scottsdale. Pics below. The band played great - tight, tuneful, fun. I sang along to "In the Basement" - great tune that. Like The Ramones, the band goes slam bang right into the next song, without stopping a beat. We ...
