The Best Rock Band That Isn't The Beatles or U2 or The White Stripes or The
2008-06-06 15:35:00 I've devoted 6,976 words to helping people understand what "rock and roll" really is this week.But The Best Rock Band That Isn't The Beatles or U2 or The White Stripes or The New Pornographers could have saved me a lot of trouble and typing and carpal tunnel syndrome. (Used to be that "carpal tunnel syndrome" was taking over the world; we were all going to die as civilization crashed around us because people wouldn't be able to function as a result of their hands being twisted into unrecognizable shapes as a result of always having to hit ctrl+alt+del. Why they didn't get "carpal tunnel syndrome" in the 50s is beyond me. It's either that people were tougher then or life was tougher then and we didn't have 10,000 magazines and news channels that needed to turn every little SARS pseudoepidemic into the Next Big Death Thing.)(Nowadays, carpal tunnel syndrome is gone. In its place, we're all going to die of peanut allergies. To fight peanut allergies, our doctor has forbidden us ...

2008-06-05 22:47:00 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;--Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.What's Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot,Nor arm, nor face, nor any other partBelonging to a man. O, be some other name!What's in a name? that which we call a roseBy any other name would smell as sweet;So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,Retain that dear perfection which he owesWithout that title:--Romeo, doff thy name;And for that name, which is no part of thee,Take all myself. O, be some other name, The New Pornographers. Doff thy name, and for that name, which is no part of thee, take all of the rock world by storm.I hate to be all crass and commercial here, but I'm going to anyway because while I say I hate to be all crass and commercial I don't really hate it at all; I love it. It's about making money. I'm sorry to say that. Art is about making money.

The Best Rock Band That Isn't The Beatles or U2
2008-06-04 16:04:00 Listen to this song:Yesterday, I was driving home from work and thought about that song, "Seven Nation Army," by The White Stripes, who are The Best Rock Band That Isn't The Beatles or U2, and even without hearing the song, I began humming that beat.I was still humming it three hours later when I went to play basketball with The Boy.(I lost, 48-15, but it wasn't as bad as all that. I was down 31-15 at the end of our 20 minutes, and I declared that the next shot would be worth 17 points -- 18 if it was from beyond the arc. I then missed six consecutive shots and The Boy made one to win 48-15.)"Seven Nation Army" is the only song I know that can withstand The Star Spangled Banner Surefire Annoying Song Cure. I was told about this from a friend of mine. He said if you ever get a song stuck in your head, hum "The Star Spangled Banner" because it has no real melody or catchiness and is hard to hum, so it will drive the other song out of your head without replacing it.Some people talk a...
The Best Rock Band That Isn't The Beatles.
2008-06-03 21:40:00 Yesterday, I began the first leg of my quest to teach the world what "rock" music really is. By naming The Beatles The Best Rock Band, I laid the foundation for understanding what "rock" is and why bands like Coldplay and Queen are not rock bands.I have to continue because I was discussing my post with The Boy, and when I mentioned that I'd put up The Best Rock Band, he interrupted and said "Queen." Which is how "Queen" gets into that sentence alongside Coldplay. Queen is not a rock band. That doesn't mean that I don't like Queen. It doesn't mean that Queen is no good. It just means that Queen doesn't fit into the category of rock band. Ordinarily, saying someone or something doesn't fit into a category doesn't invoke a violent reaction. Tell someone "Cherry pie isn't a type of burger," and they'll happily agree with you. Say to someone "An automobile isn't a WNBA referee," and they'll nod along with you. Go up to a crowd of people at a bus stop and say "William Shatner i...

THANK THE BEATLES FOR ENDING THE DRAFT
2008-05-05 03:55:00 The Beatles The world has the end of mandatory national service in Britain thanks to the Beatles, according to icon Ringo Starr.The drummer insists the U.K.?s pop and rock explosion in the 1960s all happened because teenagers no longer had to join the Army. Starr explains, "We were the first generation that didn?t go into the army. I missed the call up by, like, 10 months, and so we were allowed, as these teenagers, not to be regimented and turn into these musicians." And the rocker admits he was a hopeless drummer when he first started out.In an interview with fellow rocker Dave Stewart on television show On The Record, Starr recalled, "The first band I was in you were in if you had an instrument; it wasn?t a requirement to be able to play? and I couldn?t play."I?d got this kit of drums, I had no sense of time. I was just hitting these things and going faster and faster? That?s how I started."

More on the debate
2008-04-21 17:05:00 Apparently what we reported on last week was just the tip of the iceberg. According to our friend Brad Jacobson at MediaBloodhound, things got even more interesting after the cameras were turned off. CHARLES GIBSON, ABC ANCHOR: …OK, so let’s continue. “Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come. Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday. Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long. I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus, goo goo g’joob.” GIBSON: That is a quote from The Beatles drug-inspired anthem “I Am the Walrus.” Senator Obama, exactly how stoned were you the first time you heard this song? And did the bong hits, combined with the tabs of acid you ingested, make this song less or more enjoyable? Complete transcript available here.

Ignoring Old Show-Business Rules, Rolling Stones Brightly ?Shine a Light?
2008-04-04 11:18:00 CHICAGO ? In The Beatles versus The Rolling Stones debate (which no one under 40 would have), I?m decidedly in the corner of the Fab Four. I do acknowledge, however, the sheer stamina and staying power of The Rolling Stones. Read Patrick McDonald?s full review of ?Shine a Light? in our reviews section.View our full ?Shine a Light? image gallery. They are charismatic and charming at the same time and their history of powerful classic songs gives them a magic credibility few bands have attained. In their latest concert film ? the Martin Scorsese-directed ?Shine a Light? ? they bring their best as they are right now despite qualifying for social security. Filmed with a phalanx of cameras at the famed Beacon Theatre in New York City, ?Shine a Light? gets right up Mick Jagger?s well-known nostrils. Left to right: Charlie Watts, Keith Richards, director Martin Scorsese, Mick Jagger and Ronnie Wood backstage during filming of the Rolling Stones concert film ?Shine a Light?.Photo cred...

Neil Aspinall - just one of the ?mad lads??
2008-03-24 19:33:00 I guess I could make my friend Denny the journalist happy and begin this way - with a lede: Neil Aspinall, friend of Paul, then George, then John, then Ringo, then The Beatles’ road manager and personal assistant, then chief executive for Apple Corps for more than 4 decades has died. He was 66. But since I’m a storyteller, let me begin somewhere else: My first encounter with George was behind the school?s air-raid shelters.This great mass of shaggy hair loomed up and an out-of-breath voice requested a quick drag of my Woodbine. It was one of the first cigarettes either of us had smoked. We spluttered our way through it bravely but gleefully. After that the three of us did lots of ridiculous things together (Aspinall, McCartney and Harrison). By the time we were ready to take the GCE exams we?d added John Lennon to our ‘Mad Lad’ gang. He was doing his first term at Liverpool College of Art which overlooks the Liverpool Institute playground and we all got t...

DVD Review: The Beatles – Destination Hamburg
2008-02-28 03:40:00 The Beatles actually started out life in 1957 and were known as the Quarrymen, a name that did not last long! Everyone knows The Beatles, everyone has at some time or another heard the music. But few people know much about their early history. Destination Hamburg plans on changing this. This documentary features previously unreleased footage from the archives, and chronicles the ‘birthing’ of The Beatles, in particular their time in Hamburg, Germany. It may seem odd that these multi-millionaires started off life playing the seedy seafront and dock dives of Hamburg, a city which in the 60’s was a mecca for booze, drugs, and prostitution. Oh, come to think about it, the same could be said about Liverpool! John Lennon is credited as being the first member, soon followed by Paul McCartney, and George Harrison. Various other members came and went, maybe the joke of the time was ‘So who is playing drums this week’? By 1960 the band had gone through many name ...
