Sad to learn that Chas and Dave have split up. I think Dave Peacock has retired but Chas Hodges still goes out on the road with his own band. (or is it the other way around') Anyway, a great rockney band who made some great music in the 80's but success spoiled them and they churned out loads of party records full of singalong hits which is a shame as they were fantastic early on. Wrote some catchy...
Steve Lillywhite is the man responsible for producing the debut albums by U2 and Dave Matthews Band as well as many of their subsequent million-selling releases. While Bono and Dave have both consistently trusted Steve to fit their visions between the speakers, so have artists as diverse as The Rolling Stones, Peter Gabriel, Johnny Thunders, Ultravox, Guster, She & Him, XTC , Jason Mraz, The Pogues,...

Have a bad HSN-QVC SHOPPING EXPERIENCE: Let IMAN go on with kaftans, 30 years after her mafia skank-hubby DAVID BOWIE duped Nixon's W.E.S., to twit ME, for playing guitar so well, Bowie and AC-ZZ duped me and blew off Reagan geeks like Vanilla Ice, when they stole my riffs AND Iran's assets, AND THAT'S THE WAY IT IS, for Ted Poe and any other idiot with his thumb up Reagan's ass. Why does Iman get...
I like this concept, y’all. I like it a lot. If you know other songs that belong on this list, let me know in the comments section. 1. “Anna (Go to Him)” – The Beatles Early in their nightclub and recording careers, the Beatles performed many songs by black songwriters. Not only hall-of-famers like Chuck Berry and Smokey Robinson, but forgotten artists such as Larry Williams,...
BACKSTAGE: A Preface to a Prologue In response to yesterday's note about the publication of Let It Bleed: The Rolling Stones, Altamont, and the End of the Sixties a friend and alphablogger whose judgement I respect writes to ask that I write more about what I saw moving through the 60s like some long-haired WASP Zelig. To recapitulate a remark from yesterday, it's a popular thing to say that "If...
When we heard back in September that Pope Benedict XVI is set to grace Britain next year, we realised that, with the entourage and stadium masses, there's a certain rockstar quality to a Papal visit. So we decided that, like all good stadium rock tours, Pope Tour 2010 needs a snappy title (you know, in the same way U2 have the 360° Tour and the Rolling Stones had the A Bigger Bang Tour). This...
Filed under: News , Exclusive , Television In more than a quarter of a century of rocking, Jon Bon Jovi has seen all of the music industry's well-publicized changes.

I read a concert review the other day about a recent Marianne Faithfull show. I've been a fan since"Broken English", and she brings to mind a tough-yet-tender late-night chanteuse, and would be on my short list of people with whom I'd like to share a closing time drink. Today her tipple would likely be sparking water. Not mine. Anyway, the reviewer mentioned her new album, "Easy Come...
