Ever since the brief Soundgarden reunion in Seattle, Chris is still talking about it. I think we’ll get an official Soundgarden reunion later this year with Chris as frontman! Soundgarden should go on tour with Metallica or Alice in Chains! And put out a new album too!

So the new supergroup, Tinted Windows, that features musicians: James Iha, Taylor Hanson, Bun E. Carlos, and Adam Schlesinger put out a new song called, “Kind of a Girl”. I am really digging it a lot. I was a little worried by this new band, ’cause of Taylor Hanson, but this is actually a really really good song. Not bad at all. The song sounds like old school rock n’ roll with the likes of Cheap Trick, Talking Heads, and the Knack.
I’m looking forward to buying their album when it comes out. Count me in as a fan!

I am not into classical music much but this thing that youtube is doing is really good shit. Amazing I would say!

This is one of my favorite tunes off “Fork In the Road”, Neil Young’s new album. This tune is called, “Cough Up the Bucks”. Fucking cool song in my opinion. I want to cover this song myself, so I’ll figure it out by ear.
It’s got a cool chorus line, “Cough up the bucks, cough up the bucks”, you can sing a line like that all day long. Neil Young, a musical genius. I love him musically to death. He’s a hero of mine and inspiration. He proves you don’t have to be a great singer to do what you love to do. Making music.

THIS ALBUM IS FUCKING AMAZING!!!!! This is Neil Young’s best solo record since 1989’s “Freedom”. This is probably his most energetic and tight album he’s ever done in a long time. I would reccomend this album to all whether you’re a Neil Young fan or not. It has some of the best guitar playing I ever heard, the songs are very catchy and Neil’s vocals seem to improve in this album. He maybe getting old, but this man seems to doesn’t give up the music and he still rocks. Although most music of today is total shit, I think Neil Young’s “Fork In the Road” is so far, the best album of the year.

The Universal Music Group just contacted me asking me if I would spread the word on the new upcoming Black Crowes live album, “Warpaint Live” being released, April 28th along with a free mp3 by the label’s permission.
Press release and free mp3 of the Black Crowes live track, “Goodbye Daughters of the Revolution” below:
—————————————————————————-
New York, NY (April 6, 2009)—Specializing in a free-spirited, blues-infused form of rock ‘n’ roll, The Black Crowes are an essential piece of rock music history. Through its Eagle Records subsidiary, Eagle Rock Entertainment is releasing a 2CD set from the rock luminaries. Warpaint Live is hitting the shelves on April 28 [Pre-book Order Date April 8, Retail Sales Price $17.98]. An accompanying DVD will be released later this year.
After ten years of touring around the world and 20 million records sold, The Black Crowes took a five year hiatus. In 2005 the band re-united and re-ignited. Three years later, they released Warpaint, their first new studio album in seven years. Warpaint Live is a celebration of this new album, performed before a sold-out Los Angeles crowd. The first live Black Crowes release since 2006’s critically acclaimed Freak ‘n’ Roll…Into The Fog CD and DVD (Eagle Rock), they took this fresh work of art and allowed fans to experience this new album in its entirety live, with extended versions of the Warpaint tracks. Throwing in a few classic songs, such as “Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye”, as well as some previously unreleased covers, The Black Crowes deliver, proving that they are one of the most powerful and best live rock ‘n’ roll acts around.
For those interested in all things Robinson, the Brothers Of A Feather – Live At The Roxy CD/DVD is also available through Eagle Rock (released September 2007).

EDIT TO ADD: I know some readers out there are thinking that this maybe some kind of fake, that Universal Music Group didn’t really contact me, but they really did.
This is the real deal. UMG sending me the mp3 from Eagle Rock label is just proof that they really contacted me directly. Special thanks go out to UMG, Eagle Rock and the Black Crowes band for letting me post this. UMG obviously have to get Eagle Rock’s and the Black Crowe’s permission first before sending me this free track so I can be able to post it legally. Just wanted to point that out. – Kev
Hmmmm… how do you like this? Bob Dylan, one of the biggest singer/songwriters in the world, big legend who is still playing music today, trashing the Rolling Stones? Dylan says the Stones hasn’t been good since Bill Wyman left the band, who is the Stones former bassist.

There, take that Stones fans!

So happy we’re getting rid of this freak of nature for good! Finally!!! Good riddance! I think I’m going to start going through my CD collection and throw all the albums this guy produced in the trash! Everyone else should do the same!

I came across this great article. It’s a writer from a website named, swampland.com that defends the controversial QTV Boxmasters interview. This is right on the money, all of it. I agree with everything he wrote in this article, 100%. Excellent job, Jim Markel! He explained things better than I did.
Like I said before, Billy Bob went off topic about “monster magazines” and “toys” instead of music because Jian went off topic, and Billy Bob did it to be a smartass like I said.
I guess, the interview wasn’t scripted and acted. It was real like this article said. The article is right that it is Billy Bob’s and the band’s right to treat the interview how they feel like.
So to all those out there that are angry at Billy Bob for this interview, you might want to read this, read it all, from the top to bottom. Very good read. I applaud this writer.
Even this guy in this article agreed that Billy Bob wasn’t acting like a jerk at all like I’ve been saying.
Read it here:
Music listeners must understand band interviews. I have seen and read plenty of interviews by famous bands and artists, and believe me…there are way crazier ones than the Boxmasters.
The only reason why people are angry at the Boxmasters interview is ’cause of Billy Bob’s fame as a movie star.
With all these music websites reporting this QTV story, a lot of hateful comments from listeners thinking that the band will fail in music ’cause of that interview. Like I keep saying, the band will get more successful, they will be a hit. The band will be around a long time, whether you like it or not.
As long as they are making the news, they are becoming successful right now. I think they are a fun band and enjoyable to listen to. If the Boxmasters played a show in the Capital District, I’d definitely see them for sure. So hope they come around here for their upcoming tour. Not many people are into this country hillbilly thing, and I like that stuff. I admire the Boxmasters for trying to make that genre big again. I don’t have their albums yet, but I’m going to be looking into getting some soon.

The surviving members of the Dead are thinking about going back into the studio again after their tour to record new original songs for a new album.
The Dead hasn’t recorded a new studio album since 1989’s “Built to Last”. The last Grateful Dead studio record before Jerry Garcia’s death.
Billboard reports:

A new Grateful Dead album would ROCK! I hope it happens. Bring it on.
