Presto - it's yours!

It was pretty good! If you were a kid from a small town without a cool older brother or sister in college, it was about the only exposure you could have to a lot of cool music.

Maybe, but the idea of a singular creative force in pop music is a myth. The producer, band mates, hired guns, mastering, co-writers - all of this makes the end product a success or failure. She may have had significant help, but whatever. I think she still put out some good material.

Eh, she had a couple good albums.

She Mustafa been crazy to have her window down.

The original covers on just about any Naked City album makes me question why I like the music.

If there was a way to, "Time Bandits" style, assemble this line up from when all of these groups were in their prime, I would travel across the country and pay several times over whatever the hell it is they're charging to get in. As it stands now, I can't imagine leaving this festival not feeling disappointed, sad,…

Not really. To get closer to today's era, most of the Brooklyn indie scene of the past decade or so are from rich families in Massachusetts and SoCal.

Miles Davis

I'd recommend "Live in Kansas City (1972). He would have been in his 40's, well before he became the family friendly blues guy a lot of us first saw on "The Cosby Show." Racier lyrics, a looser, sometimes not together band, but just a fiery performance from start to finish. R.I.P.

They can do spot on impressions of things that have already been said, but the cast has an impeccable comic timing that would be hard to replicate in terms of originality.

What's wrong with being an audiophile snob? Even with pretty decent external speakers noise canceling headphones, Spotify and most of Youtube is pretty crap for someone who's used to a decent stereo. Shouldn't I be concerned that eventually all music will be in a lesser format?

Except for the ones employed by said companies. The "left" in most parts of gentrified NYC, aside from a few social issues like abortion and gay marriage, are essentially Reaganite capitalist.

I'll just take this opportunity to remind everyone that Kay Perry actually recorded a song called "Milk Milk Lemonade." https://www.youtube.com/wat…

Ok, but for me, here's the thing: If millionaires continue to make things that people like and want to enjoy, why shouldn't they continue to make money? If the rich, millionaire artists are still making music, touring, etc, shouldn't they be paid? We haven't seen any numbers yet about what anybody would make from…

Now they get $.000001! I know who's buying the next round!

Eh, he's doin' alright.

I'm a musician. I really support the verdict. I think the impetus of producers and songwriters saying, "Hey, we've got to make this a little bit more different sounding or else we could get sued" can only be a good thing. I think the level of homogeny in backing tracks and accompaniment (not melody) has gotten out of…

I said the same thing about PBR when I was in college.

In all honesty, I'd rather go to the dentist than listen to any artist mentioned in this article. But I am excited about streaming FLAC files.
