"Thamks for the link. Can never have enough Mardi Gras or cajun music. Mardi Gras is like Halloween in the spring, only more emphasis on party than horror. I miss the old days when the Travel Channel showed the parades live all day, sigh."

I've Got The Blues For The Blues

I went to see my friend's band the other night. Unfortunately, they were a bluesband. Now, I have nothing against the blues, In fact, I have seen many of the oldbluesmen, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Mississippi Fred McDowell. But what I seein blues bands these days, is a guy with a pony tail and a hat, playing a FenderStratocaster through a Twin Reverb amp, and grimacing as he bends the notes, whilesome deunk in the back of the room yells "Wooo". Meanwhile, across town, another blues band…See More

"Did you ever see Trouser Press? I admit that I used read Nme but haven't actually bought a copy in twenty years. I've never managed to sit through a whole episode,of,American Idol or X-factor largely due to the lack of originality on offer."

Whatever happened to critical rock music journalism?

Posted on November 29, 2012 at 9:29pm 4 Comments

Once there were many magazines that featured rock music. Creem, Crawdaddy, Trouser Press, Bomp, Rock Scene, Rolling Stone, to name a few. If you read any of these magazines you got a feel for the music. The articles and reviews promoted the music and the culture that supported it. If you paid attention, you could get an understanding of what the music was about, and it would guide you toward music you would enjoy. Now, all but one of these magazines are gone, the only remaining magazine is…

Glad to hear that there are still 2 or 3 bands that you like in Minn.

We have a great music scene here, and also get great road-shows, but sadly we are lacking in venues for punks to play in (and even in punk, it seems) - Portland is just not overflowing    with aggro or frustration. Must be the beer & pot, haha!

Sonics play here on Thurs. OFF! may be playing here soon, Mudhoney and Man or Astroman? are coming, so it's not a total write-off.
