Much like the metal category, hard rock is something that the NARAS doesn’t understand to any degree. Yes, it can sometimes -* sometimes* - pick the ‘right’ bands but its choices for songs is bizarre. AC/DC, “WAR MACHINE” Alice in Chains, “Check My Brain” Linkin Park, “What I’ve Done” Metallica, “The Unforgiven III” Nickelback, “Burn it to the Ground” OK, first [...]

Every year I look at the nominations and winners, and I have the same thought, “It can’t get worse than last year.” Yet somehow it always does. The 2010 Grammys didn’t let me down - which is to say, they did. Instead of going item by item in an effort to prove, as I stated [...]

A while ago, I concluded that if 2008 was considered by many a year outshined by band reunions, then 2009 is definitely the year of the super groups.

That’s right, [...]

For the second week in a row, the number one album in America is a bit of a shocker: Hope for Haiti, the MTV compilation from January 22’s broadcast, sold 171,000 copies. Oh, and they were all sold in two days (Saturday and Sunday). And they were all sold digitally. This means that independently-distributed albums were [...]

We’re really keen on partying hard once again in 2010 with our favorite optimism-filled rocker Andrew W.K., soundtracked by his old as heck/brand new album, “Close Calls With Brick Walls”. Back in 2006, Andrew released his third full length studio album “Close Calls With Brick Walls” exclusively in Japan and Koreea, an album that featured [...]

So the indie hipster four-piece (hey, c’mon, even the fans have to admit it’s an apt description) had the number one album this week by moving 124,000 units. While the achievement is impressive, some of the surrounding stats are more so: VW is one of 14 musical acts to have a number one album without a [...]
