Beastie Boys Bring The Boroughs To Toronto – Review


Toronto’s ACC was packed to the brim with people of all ages, ready to check out the Beasties. After a stripped-down set by Talib Kweli, The Beastie Boys touched down. Wearing old school uniforms (Mike D rocking archetypal Cazal shades) and hysterically oversized mesh caps, the B-Boys kicked an opening set that never seemed to quit. As bizarre images and camera shots of Mike, Adam and Adam floated around on massive screens, the three were in constant motion, seeming to tag each other as they traded verses. After about 15 minutes of this, they took a moment to catch their… Read more »

Ataris Versus "Boys Of Summer"


You know The Ataris’ current hit “Boys Of Summer?” Those SoCal punkers actually didn’t want you to hear that tune. Ever. Well, at least not their version of it. “That was something we DID NOT want released as a single,” grunts bassist/vocalist Mike Davenport about the Don Henley cover tune. “We didn’t even want it on our album, but the record label pushed for it and it proved to be a good idea. They respected our wishes to not release it as an actual single, but the radio stations decided to play it and it caught on. There’s nothing you… Read more »

British Paper Pays Out Over Oasis Story


A London nightclub bouncer on Tuesday accepted “substantial” libel damages from a tabloid newspaper which printed remarks by Oasis star Noel Gallagher (news) about an alleged assault at the club. London’s High Court was told that Shabazz Nelson had sued the mass-selling Sun tabloid for damages after it ran an interview with the musician about a fracas at celebrity hang-out, The Met Bar. “In the course of the article Mr. Gallagher alleged that he and his girlfriend had been assaulted by door attendants who were referred to as monkeys,” said Nelson’s lawyer, Korieh Duodu. The article was accompanied by a… Read more »

Breeders Shout Out Tater Holler, Truck-Stop Knives, Beer Class On New LP


Considering their last album was released in 1993, you’d think the Breeders could have come up with an album title in that time. Instead, they named their new release Title TK, which in journalism jargon means “title to come” – used when information is still forthcoming. As coolly detached as she is, frontwoman Kim Deal wasn’t being a slacker. This title was conceived even before this album, due May 21, was. “I always thought Title TK sounded cool. Even when Last Splash didn’t have a name, I thought I’d call it Title TK, but I didn’t use it then. And… Read more »

Blink-182 Whip Out The 'Tommy Lee' In Attempt To Beat Green Day At Tour Launch – Review


With nearly a decade of hits to their name and a command of large audiences that would put Tony Robbins to shame, Green Day are a hard act to follow. No wonder, then, that Blink-182 took a page from one of rock’s biggest bad boys Wednesday night in an attempt to avoid being overshadowed. Facing an opening-night Pop Disaster Tour crowd that had expended most of its energy during Green Day’s set, Mark, Tom and Travis found that even their onstage fireballs were no match for the ones their elder peers had singed the Centennial Garden with less than an… Read more »

Pet Shop Boys 'In Love' With Gay Eminem Character


Eminem is portrayed as a homosexual in a new song by the Pet Shop Boys. “The Night I Fell in Love,” from the synth-pop duo’s Release, due April 23, tells the story of a homosexual boy who falls in love with a rap star backstage at his concert and follows him to a hotel room for a “private performance.” The slow-grooving song does not reference Eminem or his Slim Shady or Marshall Mathers monikers, but the lyrics clearly spell out the star’s identity. “I said we could be secret lovers/ Just him and me,” Pet Shop Boys’ Neil Tennant sings… Read more »
