Def Jam Shuts Down Janet

Tyme — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 22:42:50

Here's what Janet had to say when I asked her what her next single would be:

"That’s pretty difficult to say, only because of the record label at this point. We started off with “Feedback” and the label and myself haven’t quite seen eye to eye since the "Feedback" single so they’ve kind of basically stopped all promotion. I’m trying to figure out a way to say this, but just to say it and to be quite honest, they just stopped all promotion whatsoever on the album so I don’t think you’re going to hear another single off this album."

The 100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time

Scrivs — Fri, 30 May 2008 20:00:33

This is what makes a great rock & roll guitar sound: an irresistible riff; a solo or jam that takes you higher every time you hear it; the final power chord that pins you to the wall and makes you hit "play" again and again. Every song here has those thrills. But these are rock's greatest guitar moments because of what's inside the notes: hunger, fury, despair and joy, often all at once. You hear the blues, gospel and rockabilly that came before, transormed by the need to say something new and loud, right away. Rock & roll has been the sound of independence for half a century. The guitar is still its essential, liberating voice. These are the 100 reasons why.

7 Reasons Kid Rock’s New Song Might be the Worst Ever

Scrivs — Wed, 28 May 2008 04:55:18

So this Hate By Numbers gig was coming along pretty nicely. I knew the deal. I’d search cable news clips until I found something that made me want to shout things at my computer. Then I wrote those things down. But last Wednesday, my friend Matt Tobey sent me a link that changed everything. It was the new Kid Rock video. We both agreed the song was grounds for murder, but it was Tobey’s idea to do it as a Hate By Numbers. Could HBN stray from cable news? I wasn’t sure. Would the readers be thrown? And what about Kid Rock fans? Weren’t they sure to be offended?

Seven Things We Want From Iron Man 2

Scrivs — Thu, 15 May 2008 09:29:11

As we all expected, on the day after the film's amazing opening weekend, a sequel date was announced for 4/30/10. Iron Man 2 already has a release date, star, and director, but, according to reports, not even a writer, much less a screenplay. With the pedestal that Iron Man has been put on, the question is can Iron Man 2 match the pattern of the second Spider-Man and X-Men movie and actually surpass the expectations that have been set before anyone's even started writing it? We hope so. Even fans would admit that, as good as the first Iron Man was, it could have been better. It's not up to the best of the best in the superhero genre, but we firmly believe the sequel can be. How? Let us light the way my iron-clad friends...

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inducts Madonna

Tyme — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 20:56:36

Leave it to Madonna to make the right gesture. For her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, she didn’t worry about whether her career as a pop hitmaker, image maker, sex symbol and provocateuse qualified her as a important figure in any narrowly defined genre of rock ’n’ roll. She just brought on an unquestioned rocker — Iggy Pop, the blunt, anarchic and durable songwriter and performer who’s a fellow Michigan-born musician — to sing punk-chorded versions of her hits “Burnin’ Up” and “Ray of Light.” He was shirtless, hyperactive and backed by the Stooges, who along with him have been nominated but snubbed by the Hall of Fame.

Radiohead's Warm Glow

I didn’t pay anything to download Radiohead’s “In Rainbows” last Wednesday. When the checkout page on the band’s Web site allowed me to type in whatever price I wanted, I put 0.00, the lowest I could go. My economist friends say this makes me a rational being.
