Yep! this is it! The Who are playing the Super Bowl halftime show and this is official Who Super Bowl t-shirt - Odds & Sods as the backdrop?? That's wacky! You'd think the old Marquee club image with the Townsend windmill would've sufficed! No matter - get ready to hear these four songs at ...

Whew! Billy Idol live and rockin' from a hot Chicago summer night at the Congress Theater. Eagle Entertainment's new DVD release of the punk rock icon's show is pretty fun. I mean, c'mon, how many of us have pumped and waved that fist during "White Wedding" ("Start AGAIN!") or "Rebel Yell" ...

It's been awhile since I wrote about my old fave 80s Chicago hardcore band Articles of Faith and since they had a great 1984 LP titled ' Give Thanks ', it seems appropriate to rock it out tonight. Watch the band rock it down below. Plus, it comes right around the release of the new DVD about ...

One reason I love Chicago (apart from having been born and raised there until my early 20s) is that there are two great rock critics working for the two main papers in town - Greg Kot and Jim DeRogatis . Now some may take exception to my use of the word 'great' when describing their work, but ...

So over the weekend, I watched the new Robert Pollard/GBV retrospective DVD " The Devil Went Home and Puked " and wrote down everything I saw. It's perhaps the ideal way to 'review' such a scrappily-thrown together DVD. There are a lot of fun things in this video, but when you pull back the ...

I'm enjoying some Andrew Belle music tonight. He's got a sweet pop swing and a cool voice, coupled with passion and substance. "Andrew Belle is a Chicago and Nashville-based singer/songwriter whose new CD The Ladder was recorded with Grammy award winning mixing engineer Vance Powell (The ...

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 ...

Punk-garage rockers The Willowz are rockin' - great Jack White-like vocals, rockin' guitars, atmosphere and more. The band had their CD release party for " Everyone " in NYC last night, and they head out on a short December tour. The band's label DimMak has their single 'Repetition' on its ...

Dig the raw rockin' sounds of NYC's The Octagon , whose latest EP "Arm Brain Heart and Liver" ( released in September on SeriousBusiness ) just kicks ass for five straight songs - "You Can Make It On Your Own!" The band wrote on its MySpace blog page : "The title track is my own, featuring my ...

Sometime around late September/early October, with news of a new KISS album and 35-yr anniversary tour in the wind, I finally got around to reading the official KISS biography called " Kiss: Behind the Mask ", an excellent look at the early days and success years for KISS. Sure, the thing was ...

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. Though I'm a little worried that the director ...

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. ...

NME is hosting the new Flaming Lips video for 'Watching the Planets'. (I tried to embed and was disallowed). It's crazy wild and better suited for home viewing. The vid's full of naked grown people who come out of a womb of sorts and well, they hoist and pull singer Wayne Coyne out of his ...
