Here’s some stuff for all you lovers out there today…and all you unrequited lovers! What have all of you been up to this winter?
Here’s a decent pic I took at the Liars show last Saturday night…
First of all, being Rock Trivia buffs (we are buff, aren’t we?), you have to take this ‘Name The Guitarist’ quiz. And tell us your score in comments. I’ll withhold my score for now.
Some more RT at RS…
Amy Winehouse rips a line of coke onstage. Who said she’s a fuck-up?
A new great trippy mix from our favorite psychedelic blog band, We’re Late For Class. Get it…it’s free!
Chris Rock to play the big ‘What’ stage at Bonnaroo this summer.
Lebowski scene comes to life in Florida. Not as funny in real life!
A great piece on Lead Belly.
Fiery Furnaces and Democracy in action. Now if they’d only let us vote on whether their live shows should continue to suck.
What else, ya’ll?
The girl is fuckin’ hip, case closed:

So what’s been going on? Round 8 of RT is really draggin’ on, innit? I’ve been turned on to another great band, the Streetwalkers, which features a couple ‘chaps’ from the band Family, who actually I’ll be exposing to the Nights With Alice Cooper radio audience in the next few weeks. Some other cool shit I’ve heard lately…speaking of street walkers (zing!), Amy Winehouse doing Toots and the Maytals’ ‘Monkey Man’ (magnificent!), and Cat Power covering Dylan’s ‘I Believe in You’ is hot!
Let’s see…I think I have some other shit to show you. Here it is…
I love the last sentence of this Amazon description of an upcoming (very good and catchy) album, because haven’t I been saying this for a while now?:
Product Description
This NY four-piece draw on their diverse backgrounds and interests, experimenting with African guitar music, the Western classical canon, hazy memories of Cape Cod summers, winters in upper Manhattan, and reggaeton. “Equal parts shruggy New York indie strumming and groovy Afro-pop, Vampire Weekend’s organ-and-drum runs highlight narratives about relationships, punctuation, and sometimes both” – Spin. Named “Hot New Kids” in Rolling Stone’s “Hot” issue. Vinyl contains MP3 coupon.
You absolutely MUST see this video of Tom Cruise talking about Scientology over at the Star-Room!
Did you miss Jimmy Page’s Birthday?
Grab this rare Earth & Fire album (notice: no Wind) over at Chris Goes Rock.
Let NGOoTB turn you on to the amazing music of Henry Kaiser.
Check out new NYC local band Hospitality. They play Piano’s on Saturday 1/19 at 8:30 and Frances’ Paul Hogan at 9:30.
What do you think of these Best Bands You’ve Never Heard In Your Life?
Fight the Good Fight, ya’ll…for Triumph has just reunited! Not sure how excited I am, if at all. It’d be funny if they hit Bonnaroo though!
And how do you all like the new NewmRadio look?
