Well I’ve been reading that Rothbury is the next Bonnaroo, and from what I’ve seen it does look like an amazingly well thought out music festival. And the festie is super-green. I dig that. I may have to take my ass out there next year, although it may be tough if ‘The Phish’ is touring again by then!
First and foremost, check out my Detroit Cobras review on Blog Critics…and leave some comments there, so it looks like I have some readers!
So I just saw this recent video of Limp Bizkit’s Fred Durst on the Tom Green show and it is VERY interesting, to say the least. Homeboy is Rip Van Winkling!
After sort of trashing his hometown of Detroit in a recent Rolling Stone article, Jack White pens a poem for the Motor City. The only ‘trashing’ he did was saying that Detroit’s music scene was suffocating him.
You gotta read the comments section from this Stereogum Phish reunion post! Hilarious.
John Oates’ Moustache cartoon?
I’m looking forward to new Kings of Leon.
Thought you knew the Scorps from ‘Hurricane’ days? Well check this video from 1972!
And whoa! Look at the emaciated Alice Cooper in 1981. This is during his alcoholic relapse period.
Deaner’s got a new fishing show. You can view episodes at the Brownie Troop website.
Anyone heard Fleet Foxes yet? It sounds like there album’s a hands-down winner.
And what do you think of your iPod’s shuffle mode? Love it, hate it?
This video of Chromeo on Jimmy Kimmel is pretty amazing. I had not heard them before I saw this.
What else is up?
It sure is the time of year for lists, huh? I’m seeing them everywhere, especially now that every other jerk-off out there has their own blog and thinks that their opinions of the year’s top stuff really matters. Well, unfortunately for you, I’m one of those jerk-offs but at least I’m going to admit that I don’t listen to a ton of new music and can concede that just about any other list you’ll find will be more accurate and attuned to popular modern society.
I am also going to spare you my enormous lists of great NYC vegan restaurants and best foreign films made in Hollywood of 2007 and only give you my listy opinions about music (and you will hopefully share yours) so as not to drive the whole end-of-the-year requisite lists into the ground. So, that being said, I’m going to try to list my Top 10 Favorite New Album Releases of 2007. Since I may not be able to come up with a full 10, I’m going to allow myself (and us) to pad the list with albums that you were turned on to during 2007, but came out whenever. Cool? Let’s do it after the jump…. (more…)
