http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060107/music_nm/punk_dc_1 By Greg Prato Sat Jan 7, 3:11 PM ET NEW YORK (Billboard) - What is considered punk rock and hardcore nowadays has evolved considerably since the early '80s, a point proven by the new documentary, "American Hardcore: The History of American Punk Rock 1980-1986." The 90-minute feature, which premieres at the Sundance Film Festival later this month, boasts footage from numerous bands, including Minor Threat, Black Flag and Suicidal Tendencies. The movie was put together by Paul Rachman (best known for directing videos for Alice In Chains, Temple Of The Dog and Pantera) and writer Steven Blush (who wrote the 2001 book "American Hardcore"). "There's this 'History of Rock'n'Roll' series -- one of them by the PBS, the other by the BBC," Blush tells Billboard.com. "I saw both, and they get to this point in history. They talk about the Sex Pistols and the Clash, they talk to Exene (Cervenka) and X ... and they go straight to Nirvana. It just kind of sent me on this journey to figure this out, and manifested itself five years later in the 'American Hardcore' book." Blush and Rachman have known each other since the '80s, when they crossed paths as fans of the east coast punk/hardcore scene. "Steve was in D.C., I was in Boston," explains Rachman. "I knew who he was, and in New York we became more aware of each other. I moved back in 2000, ran into him on the street and he says, 'I'm finishing up this book, "American Hardcore."' It instantly clicked in my head -- this is a great film, and we're the guys to do this. In December 2001, shortly after his book was published, we went to Boston, and did a first set of interviews. We ended up doing 115 interviews and finding about 100 hours of rare stock footage and hundreds of photographs." Rachman admits it was difficult to unearth this footage. "This is before even the VHS video revolution -- '80, '81, '82," he says. "It was really hard to find documentation -- particularly video documentation. If a kid was lucky enough to borrow his dad's VHS camcorder, he would go to a show, shoot a full day of shows and shoot everything on 'six-hour-mode.' And that's the master -- those are the tapes we found." Highlights include rare live clips of Bad Brains (their first-ever Philadelphia performance, circa 1981), MDC and Negative Approach, as well as countless interviews. "I think the most interesting thing to me was to see what has happened to people," Blush points out. "When we go see Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, it's this mansion up in the hills in Malibu, and then on the other hand, you see how poor some of these people are, and how bitter some of these people are -- people who did not get their due." Asked what he'd like viewers to get out of the film, Blush explains, "You see all these bands today and they act all hard and intense. (But) these guys were intense. These guys walked the walk and didn't brag about it. We screened this to very few people, but (in one audience) was an 18-year-old kid. At the end of it, he was like, 'Wow, kids my age are really going to be bummed out, because they're going to see they're not real compared to this stuff."' Reuters/Billboard

Haha whoops, I just posted that

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060106/ap_en_tv/super_bowl_dancers DETROIT - Older fans of the Rolling Stones will get the chance to shake it during the band's Super Bowl halftime show after all. Planners had originally sought people aged 18 to 45 to take the field and dance at Ford Field on Feb. 5. But after hearing from some older fans of the group, whose founding members are more than a decade older than 45, the National Football League said it would accept dancers 18 and older — no age limit. "We wanted to open it up," NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said Friday. The NFL is offering 2,000 people a chance to watch the rock 'n' roll legends play on the field. They will be expected to dance, sing and cheer. The league is also seeking people to dance during star Stevie Wonder's pregame performance. People are asked to apply in groups of 20 or more. Signup is under way on the Web site of Star Flow Entertainment, the company organizing the volunteers. The league had said the reason for the age cutoff was that the job is physically challenging. The volunteers would be on their feet for long periods, and would need to enter and exit the field quickly.

This will hopefully be amazing.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20060105/lf_afp/afpentertainmentgermany_060105161213 HALBERSTADT, Germany (AFP) - A new chord was scheduled to sound in the world's slowest and longest lasting concert that is taking a total 639 years to perform. The abandoned Buchardi church in Halberstadt, eastern Germany, is the venue for a mind-boggling 639-year-long performance of a piece of music by US experimental composer John Cage (1912-1992). Entitled "organ2/ASLSP" (or "As SLow aS Possible"), the performance began on September 5, 2001 and is scheduled to last until 2639. The first year and half of the performance was total silence, with the first chord -- G-sharp, B and G-sharp -- not sounding until February 2, 2003. Then in July 2004, two additional Es, an octave apart, were sounded and are scheduled to be released later this year on May 5. But at 5:00 pm (1600 GMT) on Thursday, the first chord was due to progress to a second -- comprising A, C and F-sharp -- and is to be held down over the next few years by weights on an organ being built especially for the project. Cage originally conceived "ASLSP" in 1985 as a 20-minute work for piano, subsequently transcribing it for organ in 1987. But organisers of the John Cage Organ Project decided to take the composer at his word and stretch out the performance for 639 years, using Cage's transcription for organ. The enormous running time was chosen to commemorate the creation of Halberstadt's historic Blockwerk organ in 1361 -- 639 years before the current project started. That original organ, built by Nikolaus Faber for Halberstadt's cathedral, was the first organ ever to be used for liturgical purposes, ringing in a new era in which the organ has played a central role in church music ever since. As part of Halberstadt's John Cage Organ Project, a brand-new organ is being built specially, with new pipes added in time for when new notes are scheduled to sound. Cage was a pupil of one of the 20th century's most influential composers, Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951). Cage's avant-garde oeuvre includes works such as the notorious "4'33", a piece comprising four minutes and 33 seconds of total silence, all meticulously notated. The organisers of the John Cage Organ Project say the record-breaking performance in Halberstadt also has a philosophical background -- to "rediscover calm and slowness in today's fast-changing world".

I know this isn't by any of the bands you named, but it deals with the subject of liking someone who doesn't like you back. For No One-Beatles Your day breaks, your mind aches You find that all the words of kindness linger on When she no longer needs you She wakes up, she makes up She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry She no longer needs you And in her eyes you see nothing No sign of love behind the tears Cried for no one A love that should have lasted years! You want her, you need her And yet you don't believe her when she said her love is dead You think she needs you And in her eyes you see nothing No sign of love behind the tears Cried for no one A love that should have lasted years! You stay home, she goes out She says that long ago she knew someone but now he's gone She doesn't need him Your day breaks, your mind aches There will be time when all the things she said will fil your head You won't forget her And in her eyes you see nothing No sign of love behind the tears Cried for no one A love that should have lasted years!

A verbal art like poetry is reflective; it stops to think. Music is immediate, it goes on to become. -W. H. Auden, "Notes On Music and Opera," The Dyer's Hand. Music takes us out of the actual and whipers to us dim secrets that startle our wonder as to who we are, and for what, whence, and whereto. -Emerson. Music quickens time, she quickens us to the finest enjoyment of time. -Thomas Mann, The Magic Mountain. No one can get really drunk on a novel or a painting, but who can help getting drunk on Beethoven's Ninth, Bartok's Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion, or the Beatles' White Album? -Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being.

Eight Days A Week-The Beatles circle of burning

Pantera I don't think that they're that bad, it's just that they only have one good album(Vulgar Display Of Power), and for a band to be considered to be a "great band"(which I know a lot of critics think so) they should of been a lot more consistent.

Blue Oyster Cult is playing at BB King's Grill on Jan 27th. Tickets are only $27.50. To buy tickets on ticketma$ter click here

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051124/ap_en_mu/charlie_daniels CHARLOTTE, N.C. - A project sparked by North Carolina-bred singer Charlie Daniels has collected thousands of dollars in donated musical instruments for troops in Iraq. Daniels donated one of his own instruments to "Operation Heartstrings" earlier this year when he learned that soldiers didn't have guitars for church services. He asked guitar manufacturers to do the same. "We never envisioned this much stuff. I'm overwhelmed by the support out there for the troops," said Daniels. He said "only one company that will remain nameless turned us down." Gibson Guitar, one of the nation's top instrument makers, surprised the Wilmington native by offering 100 guitars worth $35,000 and thousands of dollars worth of accessories. "We're talking about guys over there who are representing us and putting life on the line," co-owner Henry Juszkiewicz said. Daniels, 69, and his band learned of the need while touring the Middle East doing shows for soldiers. "We found that many of them played musical instruments of one kind or another and they wanted to sit in with the band. But they didn't have enough instruments to go around," he said. Daniels' platinum single "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" topped both country and pop charts and won a Grammy.

That has to be the funniest thing I've ever read. The Clash started a whole other genre of punk, to say that they jumped on the bandwagon that the Sex Pistols started, is ignorant. The Clash were very different from The Clash in many ways, first of all they were MUCH better song writers than The Sex Pistols. They wrote thoughtful songs(most of the time), they weren't into the whole "being a nihilist is cool" fad and IMO they were better musicans.

I would for the PS3 to come out, since it's going to be amazing, even though it's going to be a bit pricey.
