Rock Shrine No. 41 – The Astoria [Nirvana, etc]
10 months ago

Welcome to one of London's best rock venues: sweaty, dark, a bit seedy. Converted from a warehouse into a theatre and cinema in 1926, it became a live venue in 1986. Everyone has played here, from hardcore classic rock bands (The Rolling Stones, Deep Purple) to the kind of artists (Kylie, Madonna) who appeal to the clientele attending G.A.Y. on a Saturday night. Amy Winehouse showed how amazin...

April 5th will be the 13th anniversary of Kurt Cobain's suicide. He was 27. Only 27.I graduated high school in 1993, and more than any band that I have ever seen during my lifetime, Nirvana actually changed the landscape of popular music. I mean when Nevermind was released, it debuted at number one...knocking Michael Jackson out of the top spot, it that doesn't signify a sea change in American ...

Coolest Action Figure EVER!!
over 3 years ago
If there's sunlight just close your eyes really tight and cover them with your left or right hand, whichever is free at the moment.

Short of wearing a helmet, the sure-firingest -not to mention the rootin' tootinest- way to make things less dangerous is to turn the lights off. You might miss some details, like those three tattoos, but we all know that the devil resides amongst the details anyway, so turning out the lights is kind of like spooning with the lord, and I can't think of a safer place than that.

...And I’m a Recovering Rock Journalist
over 3 years ago

I write too much and listen to way too much rock music. Ages ago it seemed like the best course of action would be to combine those two addictions, creating one super-addiction, the “perfect addiction” or “one addiction to rule them all” depending on which side of the geek fence you swing on. Regardless, I’ve more or less put myself on rock-journo hiatus for a while. My writing has been

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPENCER ELDEN

Blog post image preview

When Nirvana was putting together Nevermind, an album that set the tone for the rock music of the 90s, they weren't all that famous. They couldn't make their album art budget stretch far enough to use a stock photo of a baby swimming so the photographer they hired, Kirk Weddle paid $200 to some friends of his, Renata and Rick Elden, for their use of their 4 month old son, Spencer, for the shot....

So tonight I went to my first trance rave. I guess I committed a major faux-pas though- when everyone else dances to the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" remix, that isn't your cue to start a mosh.I don't think that girl will forgive me anytime soon...

Lyrics
about 1 year ago

So I was listening to a cover version of a very, very well known song today (I'm embarassed to say what it was, but no, it wasn't the Nirvana song attached to this post) and decided to look up the lyrics. I had always heard a few words one way, but the covering artist pronounced the words in a way that made me unsure of what the correct lyrics were. Sure enough, although I had heard the song h...

Over-bored and self-assured
over 2 years ago

I always find it fascinating to go to Amazon.com and read the negative reviews about great albums. For instance -- Nirvana's "Nevermind". While most reviewers there give it five stars, one in ten will give it only one (there's almost no in between). Here are some clips from the one-star reviews:"I am sorry but I just don't get it. My only take is that the late 80's got so bogged down and sta...

Apparently this clip is kinda famous (I'm seeing it for the first time. Seiken pointed me at a miserable cover of "Final Countdown", and there in the related videos was something with the name of my high school in it.I must have done like 6 plays/musicals and 10 choir/jazz/etc. concerts in this hall. They really didn't want us to play rock - now I see why...
