What interesting about the Chili Peppers that no other band can claim is that they they can replace the guitarist and not effect the overall chemistry of the band. For all intensive purposes, the Chili Peppers are Flea, Anthony and Chad Smith. No band has ever had the same amount of rotating lead guitarists as the Chili Peppers and remained a popular/relevant band. Maybe Fleetwood Mac... But

The Unknown: Red Hot Chili Peppers - Venus (Stadium Disc 3)
Posted on 21:37 by Unknown
It's been a week now that I've had a chance to digest the new RHCP album. I was a huge fan in the 80s and Blood Sugar Sex Magik years had everyone dancing. But when Navarro joined the band they never recovered. I always gave them a fair listen but nothing ever stuck...except Scar Tissue, which I had no choice but to absorb since it was played about 10 million times the year it came out.

The 11 Best Songs By Lil Wayne (Tha Carter Era)
Posted on 22:05 by Unknown
Last night's MTV Video Music Awards continued its reign in celebrating mediocrity. I feel like a broken record as I continue to argue that MTV was much better when it was ground breaking, rather than too scared to take its feet off the ground. Granted, it wasn't as bad as it had been in year's past. Young The Giant stole the show in my opinion, considering they were the only real rock band

Free Music Friday (Thursday Edition): The Weeknd - Thursday
Posted on 21:41 by Unknown
I don't know what I like more about the Weeknd...is it the fact that he put out one of my favorite albums of the year so far, creating an entirely new genre with his dark heroine sheik beats and angst-ridden croon? Or, it is because that after his debut album (that he gave away for free) he turned down the massive avalanche of major label proposals to release his second album...a mere 7 months

The 11 Best Songs By Cansei De Ser Sexy
Posted on 23:12 by Unknown
I recently took a plane trip from LA to Boston and can't believe the overrated service of Virgin Airlines. Everyone raved about the airline. It was an all around better experience. I have to say I was taken in by the sexy music being played when I checked in. Even the plane had a softer atmosphere when I boarded the plane and was pleasantly impressed by the nice new seats. But after the

The 11 Best Solo Songs By Stephen Malkmus
Posted on 23:40 by Unknown
This past week I took a vacation traveling the New England states on a needed vacation. Besides being my first trip to many of these states and enjoying a "must-see" part of the US, I also tried out my Spotify mobile account for the first time. It was a surreal experience literally having control of hearing any song I wanted at a moment's notice. The possibilities were literally endless. So,

The 11 Best Songs By Warrant
Posted on 22:59 by Unknown
When it came to hair metal, Warrant seemed to be the butt of many jokes. They were the epitome of the stereo-typical hair metal 80s band. They had the cheesy songs...but they still managed to have the big hits. They had the big hair, the leather, and the hot girl in the video. Their songs were loaded with sexual innuendo and cliches about unrequited love. But despite the rolling of the eyes

The 11 Best Guest Collaborations by Kanye West
Posted on 22:11 by Unknown
Expectations are high when two of the arguably best rappers in the game team up for a collaboration album. If this isn't at least the best hip-hop album of the year, it'll be a disappointment. For years, Kanye has complained about being snubbed for the Grammy of the Year. Right now, there is very little that stands in the way of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and Album of the Year. Lady

The 11 Best Songs By Ra Ra Riot
Posted on 23:27 by Unknown
Yesterday's big news about The Smiths having their songs turned into a comic book, left me with mixed feelings. Of course, every time there is news about the Smiths, it's always a good day...but the more I thought about it, I became a little concerned. I know it's "based" on Smiths lyrics...so are these little short stories or is this going to be an ongoing epic about Super Morrissey: A mild

The 11 Best Music Videos
Posted on 23:17 by Unknown
Today, MTV turns 30. I spent a lot of years of my life sitting in front of the TV absorbing the mind-numbing awesomeness of MTV in the 80s and 90s when they still showed videos and knew how to have fun. A very surreal moment to see this young hip cultural icon step into middle age.
I'm not sure what I'm more troubled by...the fact that MTV is spending the day playing a 16 and Pregnant
