Headbanger's Blog tipped us to the fact that video of Living Colour's entire November 1 show at the Paradiso in Amsterdam can now be streamed for free (below). It's not nearly as cool as the experience of seeing Living Colour live, but in case you've never had that opportunity (or, more likely, wasted that opportunity), [...]

Seriously, I think I can safely speak for both Vince and myself when I say that Living Colour are one of our top five desert island bands of any genre. Everything about Living Colour rules. We've seen them live a bunch of times, and with one very notable exception, they've killed live each and every [...]

You know, it is difficult to describe what a band or album may mean to you without sounding like an absolute stalker. So when we got the chance to meet Living Colour after their show at the World Cafe Live, the best I could squeak out to Mr. Calhoun was how thrilled I was that I had the opportunity to finally see them live. (He seemed to appreciate it.) And I mumbled to Vernon Reid that he's "s...

...Living Colour dropped this LP back in aught-three when they were "re-uniting" for the first or second time (I forget) and I thought this LP was tragically overlooked because Black Rock was on the back-burner and Bling was king...I liked it though, there were a couple of fine new slices (which I saw 'em perform at the House of Blues on Sunset while covering the reunion for a magazine)...while...

For fans of Living Colour, Fishbone and the whole Black Rock Coalition of the late 80's and early 90's, there is still some very good music happening on that scene.As a fan of diversity, and how it helps strengthen a product by brining in fresh approachs' and a new set of filters, you may find some of these acts satisfying. So look them up, or catch a show if it swings through your town.

As kids, we [...]

I’m auto-setting this post to go up at 11:30 am, because I will not actually be in front of a computer at 11:30 am – I will be doing a phoner with Vernon Reid. Rarely do I get nervous about conducting interviews, but this is definitely one of those times when I’m right on the [...]

Not only does this bring back fond memories of seeing a tour of Jesus Christ Superstar in Wiesbaden when I was a senior in high school and helping turn me forever onto the beauty in action of live theatre, it also reminds me how badly Lloyd Webber ripped of Zappa and many other musicians for riffs to piece his musical together."Ted Neeley":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Neeley was Jesus in th...
