December 1, 201410 yr I cannot stop humming this song. Catchiest base line ever. I want the full song, but Shazam is saying its something its not.
December 20, 201410 yr I cannot stop humming this song. Catchiest base line ever. I want the full song, but Shazam is saying its something its not. Here ya go: “To an Ohio resident - wherever he lives - some other part of his state seems unreal.”
December 22, 201410 yr Just saw Guardians of the Galaxy. If buying soundtracks were still a thing, I would be all over that one. Nostalgia aplenty for anyone from my generation
January 6, 201510 yr I'm not sure why young musical aspirants these days are so confused about what kind of music young people should be playing. Seriously, what's with the Don Ho ukulale/mandolin revival? It's truly hard to fathom that lame people have gotten so much lamer since the 90s that they've sunk from Dave Mathews to strumming the ukulele and whistling during cell phone commercials. jmecklenborg[/member] Check out the pre-roll Geico ads on these Conan videos: http://pitchfork.com/news/55547-jack-white-interviewed-does-temporary-ground-and-alone-in-my-home-on-conan/
January 6, 201510 yr I liked Charli's album and her career is booming as expected, and continuing with my long established taste for female singers (especially British) I'm listening to Cher Lloyd these days. This is the song that got my attention with some early Gwen Stefani and Tracey Ullman/Julie Brown (redhead version) influences.
January 7, 201510 yr The new Marylin Manson single is pretty good. I wish the song was slightly shorter and/or hung out just on the sleazy beat for awhile at some point: The new Buzzcocks single is pretty good. I like how plain this one is, with a completely predictable format. Would be a lot of fun to play live, since it's easy to play, and you could totally crank it: The best hardcore breakdown of 2014 (okay, this came out in 2013 but I didn't hear it until this year) at 1:20:
January 8, 201510 yr I would really appreciate it if you could take a minute to vote in the 2015 Cincinnati Entertainment Awards and choose my band Elk Creek in the Folk/Americana category! http://t.co/ZnkQeFndn6
January 8, 201510 yr I voted for you. The rest I just picked what name I liked best.....so congrats to 90 Proof Twang.
February 13, 201510 yr I highly advise Marky Ramone's Punk Rock Blitzkrieg on Sirius/SM Channel 41. I always hear about ten great new songs per show and the commentary is totally hilarious. New to me: There is a pub in tumbridge wells Where the landlord is a wanker yes he has a girl she dont notice me and i dont understand what she sees in him no i dont understand what she sees in him cause hes a wanker the landlord is a wanker the landlord is a wanker the landlord is a wanker she looks good but she dont like me she thinks im rather dirty and ugly she is nice oh whats she doing with him if she was my girl id give her what for i dont understand what she sees in him cause hes a wanker the landlord is a wanker the landlord is a wanker the landlord is a wanker what a cunt! but hes a wanker the landlord is a wanker x14 hes also a cunt!
February 26, 201510 yr A Cincinnati band who has played this song for a while, has come out with a video for it. Bad Veins cover The Muppets' "Rainbow Connection". http://www.avclub.com/article/watch-bad-veins-transform-muppets-and-cover-rainbo-215786
March 13, 201510 yr wow, this is even more depressing than the original by Gilbert O' Sullivan over 40 years ago-- http://www.mainstreetpainesville.org/
March 24, 201510 yr Again with the British women lol. Natalia Kills and her husband got fired from X factor in New Zealand for going full Cowell on a contestant that she felt was copying his image (as it turns out, there may have actually been something to that). I’m guessing this was a preplanned publicity stunt, but many of the Righteous have been all over their cases and of course it’s the best thing that ever happened to the contestant. The same night (plus a lot of time zones), the TV show “Royals” premiered on E! (free download on iTunes). The second song on their excellent soundtrack, paired perfectly with misbehavior by both the royal offspring, was her song “Problem”. Which I can now not get out of my head. No video link as the trigger image is slightly NSFW.
March 28, 201510 yr Really upbeat song by Saint Motel. I haven't heard a Saint band that I didn't like. Especially Armored Saint.

March 31, 201510 yr Disappointing video (would have loved the video to focus instead on the majesty of the NYC skyline, bridges, etc, not hooded twirps with long noses!!), but I freakin' love his rock adaptation of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony.... "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
April 1, 201510 yr Today is Haydn's birthday! He doesn't look a day over 281. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
April 6, 201510 yr I haven't heard a Saint band that I didn't like. Especially Armored Saint. When I was at OU there was a band called The Virgin Gary.
April 6, 201510 yr ^Very nice. A band from a slightly earlier era, from their 2014 "comeback" album: This track could have used some of that spaced-out reverb on the vocals. And put through the early-80s Cars-type production it could have been an early-80s hit, not yet another file sharing-era track lost in the fog.
April 8, 201510 yr i read this was on the most compliation albums of the time, making it thee greatest song of the late 1970s-early 1980s new wave era. i'd say they got it right-o:
May 18, 201510 yr Best Of Two Steps From Hell "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
May 21, 201510 yr http://www.owownow.com/ John Gorman's internet station. It always seems to play something I like, that I haven't heard in a long time if ever. Not just older stuff, either. They played Zella Day when she had only 35,000 Facebook likes and no Wikpedia page.
May 31, 201510 yr I saw the Rolling Stones last night in Columbus. There were serious problems with the sound for those of us in the cheap seats. It seemed like the level boosts for the different instruments were being sloppily raised and lowered, but "blind" to the sound guy since the speakers were behind him, leading to a totally inconsistent sound. It was really, really frustrating for the first 4-5 songs. But then for reasons that are unclear the sound and the band snapped into place and so the second half of the show was really solid. Midnight Rambler was faraway the best song. Ron Wood kept dusting Keith Richards every time he had a lead. I could tell that Keith Richards was regularly confused by the different tunings and capo positions on each song. They played 20 songs and he had 20 guitar changes, each time dealing with a different body style, tuning, capo, etc. You could tell he never got totally used to one before the end of each song. Excessive instrument changing is one of my major peeves as an audience member -- changing from electric to acoustic guitar is fine. But there's no reason why he couldn't simply play in standard tuning on more songs.
June 1, 201510 yr I saw the Rolling Stones last night in Columbus. You and 60,000 of your friends: http://www.cleveland.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2015/05/mick_jagger_and_rolling_stones.html Rolling Stone (the magazine not the band) had a link to the below YouTube video of Mick Jagger signing part of 'Hang On Sloppy' at http://www.rollingstone.com/music/videos/watch-rolling-stones-perform-hang-on-sloopy-for-first-time-since-1966-20150531. Love the 'O-H-I-O' chant from the audience during the breaks in the chorus!
June 1, 201510 yr For some Columbus music that's a bit more current . . . check out Twenty One Pilots. Twenty One Pilots are a duo from Columbus whose second major label album 'Blurryface' debuted #1 on the Billboard album chart. Here's the video of their latest single from that album:

The entire album is great. Worth a listen (or 20).

June 1, 201510 yr TMZ is reporting that MONICA LEWINSKY got a guest pass to the Rolling Stones' secret show in Hollywood last week:
June 7, 201510 yr Again I'd like to re-recommend Marky Ramone's show on Serius/XM channel 41...every week he digs up about 5 should-have-been hits.
June 9, 201510 yr Wow, this guys is the real deal, not some autistic "kid genius" musician who merely copies something. The command through all of the phrasing is so remarkable, this guy is already better than the best guy in most second-tier U.S. cities. Hopefully he doesn't get too weird and burn out.
June 9, 201510 yr Mark Ronson (who wrote the Uptown Funk song that Bruno Mars sings) has this song which I think it way better, though not as upbeat as Uptown Funk (vocals by Kevin Parker of Tame Impala).
June 13, 201510 yr Mark Ronson (who wrote the Uptown Funk song that Bruno Mars sings) has this song which I think it way better, though not as upbeat as Uptown Funk (vocals by Kevin Parker of Tame Impala). 80% of this song is a straight lift of The Grateful Dead's Shakedown Street from 1978 -- same key, same chords, same tempo, but much less pretentious.
June 15, 201510 yr Saturday night at work someone played a song that was a collaboration between Jay Z (some of whose stuff I love) and Kanye West. I Facebooked a remark about mixing fois gras with goose s***.
June 15, 201510 yr Chappo will be playing The Woodward Theater in Cincinnati tonight (830 doors). They had a great set at MOTR a couple of years ago. I highly recommend them. Only other shows on the East side of the country for a while are Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and New York.
June 20, 20159 yr I saw The Rolling Stones again this week in Nashville: It was a much better show than Columbus back in May. There weren't any of the sound issues that plagued the Columbus show and the crowd was much livelier. You go see a band that wrote 50+ outstanding songs and you get upset thinking about how idiotic most musical activity is by comparison.
June 24, 20159 yr I ran across this clip tonight from 2006...the then 65 year-old Rolling Stones totally tearing up Midnight Rambler in front of an audience of over 1 million. They make pretty much every young person playing (or Dj'ing or simply talking about music) now look like little boys.
June 24, 20159 yr I'm fascinated by the video stabilization technique in these two videos. Is this something built into the YouTube app or something?
June 24, 20159 yr Yeah, it seems to recognize what the subject of the video is, then move the entire image to keep the subject in the center of the frame.
