Woodstock looks to Prospect Park for 40th Anniversary show locale
Word about a 40th anniversary of the legendary Woodstock Fesitival has been jumping around for a while, but it’s starting to look more promising as the days pass. As Brooklyn Daily News reports, Michael Lang, original Woodstock curator, is hoping to use Brooklyn’s Prospect Park (specifically Long Meadow) for a free day long revival of [...]
Consequences: Van Halen’s “Eruption”
You can quit rubbing those eyes. They stand corrected. CoS has another feature! In our endless quest to “school” you musically, we’ve decided to follow suit with “Consequences,” a new feature that focuses on the influence and changes, musically of course, that one song may have had on a particular style or genre of music. [...]
Check Out: MF DOOM – “Gazzillion Ear” (Thom Yorke Remix)
MF Doom’s latest album, Born Like This, just dropped and if you happened to get it off iTunes, this remix was your reward. Sure, Doom’s hip hop origins seem unlikely fodder for a Thom Yorke remix, yet stranger things have happened. It’s atmospheric, spacey, at times haunting and sort of disconcerting. Hearing the urgent lyrics [...]
Album Review: Winston Audio – The Red Rhythm
Winston Audio seems to be having an identity crisis, or at least its debut record The Red Rhythm is. The Atlanta natives managed to score a very well produced record for their first full length with quite a bit of time to work on it after they released their opening EP. But even with all [...]
Check Out: Rancid – “Last One to Die”
It has been exactly five years and 232 since Rancid has shelled out a piece of original music. In that time, Jack White has released five albums, two different presidents have held down the White House, and the Cubs, well, have continued to choke. Needless to say, the band’s recently unveiled new single, “Last One [...]
Blink-182 taps Weezer as opener?
There’s really no good way to open a piece of news like this, so let’s just get on with it. According to Buzznet, an “informed source” has revealed that the recently reunited Blink-182 has tapped Weezer to serve as the opener for its upcoming summer tour. Now, skeptics will probably point to the multitude of [...]
Little Boots shows her Hands
I think our friends over at The Music Slut sum it up best in saying: Hallelujah! Victoria Hesketh, aka Little Boots, aka the 25-year-old English native who has dazzled us on multiple occasions over the last 12 months, has finally announced plans for her debut full-length effort. Well, at least a few details.
Ray Charles goes digital…
The fanfare may have subsided some since 2004′s Ray, but who doesn’t love Ray Charles every once and a while? He’s the best companion on a balmy summer day, the all time favorite guest at Sunday dinners, and just about everyone in the family can enjoy his company on a road trip. Okay, so that [...]
The Rolling Stones remind us about The Rolling Stones
There are fourteen reasons to buy CDs again. The Rolling Stones, together with Universal, have announced a plan to remaster and reissue the band’s last fourteen albums (ie., the ones release from 1971-2005) with original packaging and track listings. These rock and roll gems will be released in four batches, with the fun kicking off [...]
Glasvegas hits the top of the Bottom Lounge (4/6)
I’m a real sucker for foreign accents and bands that leave every ounce of energy they have on the stage. So, when the Scottish group Glasvegas stopped at Chicago’s Bottom Lounge, it was a perfect marrying of the two. It’s important to note that I went into this show a relative virgin when it comes [...]
