Video from Pearl Jam’s Past, Available Now

Like most Americans, this band is smiling after last week’s election results. . Though they had the best of intentions in making a tour film with rock band Pearl Jam, the best efforts of part-time movie-makers (and full-time skaters) Coan Nichols and Rick Charnoski were hidden from fans until just last month. Invited to accompany the rock band on a few dates of its domestic Vote for Change tour in the weeks before the ill-fated 2004 presidential election, the duo used their Super 8 to docum

Basement Songs: Lone Justice, “Shelter”

Birthday wishes: I’ve never given much credence to the old “make a wish and blow out the candles” bit simply because most of my wishes, my birthday wishes, never came true.  I don’t hold a grudge against the almighty birthday gods or fairies or whomever grants these silent pleas — it’s just that I’ve never felt their power touch me. My whole life I’ve felt pretty blessed.  I was raised by two strong, independently thinking, sometimes stubborn parents who protected me from the harms of the wo

The Rock Band Effect

The Rock Band Effect October 29th, 2008 by Dank the Underdog             Music is a universal language that everyone can understand.  Only a couple of centuries ago the only way to enjoy music was to either see it live by artists or know how to play an instrument.  Only in the recent years has music become accessible to everybody through advancements in technologies such as recording, multi-tracking, the radio, television, CD, digital distribution and many other mediums.  The video game Rock B

The Bleeding Hearts Saturday @ Slim’s

The Bleeding Hearts are the kind of cool local band we should be proud to claim as part of Raleigh. Grayson Currin of the Indy regards the band highly: “Among the foremost disciples of Raleigh’s hard-won, rarely forsaken guitar-rock heritage, The Bleeding Hearts received a boost from an unlikely idol, E-Street Band guitarist Little Steven Van Zandt. He featured the quartet’s “Rehab Girl” on the “Coolest Song in the World” segment of his popular satellite radio show in August, and the band’s bee

Underground Garage comes to Bloomington-Normal

Underground Garage comes to Bloomington-Normal by Tim Crisp, Daily Vidette Staff Writer in Features In 1980, the Ramones asked, "Do You Remember Rock n' Roll Radio?" This was a time before iTunes, before MTV, when the only way to hear the coolest new songs was on the AM radio. The world may have moved on, but for Steven Van Zandt there is nothing that compares to this time.

Review: Bruce Springsteen

Above: Bruce Springsteen and Steven Van Zandt at Sprint Center on Sunday. Photo by Allison Long/The Star About a dozen songs into a show that would go on for hours, Bruce Springsteen advised his crowd: "This is the last night of the tour. Anything can happen." What happened was pretty typical, though. He played nearly 30 songs and delivered many moments of joy and transcendence, including an encore for the ages, during a show that lasted about three hours and 10 minutes without a significant

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band: Live at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Aug. 24, 2008

I don’t think there’s a bigger fan of rock & roll music than Bruce Springsteen. It probably helps that he’s one of rock music’s biggest stars, but seeing him last night at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis he looked as genuinely excited to be there as everyone else in the stadium. The show started an hour late, and as I sat in my $70 seat sipping on my $8 Bud Light I had plenty of time to speculate on what song he’d open with. “Tenth Avenue Freeze-out” perhaps, or “The Promised Land,” or eve

Celebrity Sightings

Celebrity Sightings Okay, so I saw so many celebrities when I was in Manhattan on my way to Maine from Florida and then back again. Not at the airport (you don’t even want to know about how many of my flights got cancelled/delayed, or how long I sat on how many tarmacs, etc), but just randomly on the street/in department stores/dining establishments. New York City is totally the new, cooler Hollywood (you already knew that, though). Anyway, first when I was at Barney’s–where I heard a rum

Super quick notes

Last night's Springsteen show (2nd of the 3 I'm chasing) was nothing short of jaw-dropping. I didn't have the amazing spot I had in Nashville (right up front with one person between me and the stage), but I had a pretty nice spot fairly close where I could see just about everything; I've always hesitated to go for general-admission tickets because I'm 5 foot 1 and figured I'd just end up staring at some six-footer's back, but both nights it has worked out well. (For Kansas City, my sister &
