Road Warriors 48

Road Warriors 48

They must not have been able to come up with a name for this festival, because they called it Give It A Name. The festival takes place in London in May, and headlining it will be rock bands Paramore and 30 Seconds to Mars. More acts will be announced soon.

Speaking of festivals, My Chemical Romance and the All-American Rejects will play the Bamboozle Left festival on April 5 in Irvine, California. Other acts include Paramore, New Found Glory and the Starting Line.

You metal fans will be thrilled that the third installment of the Gigantour Festival is back and will kick off April 12 in Denver. The festival was started by Megadeth front man Dave Mustaine, and this year it will include a 29-date tour across North America headlined by, well, Megadeth. Other confirmed bands are In Flames, Children of Bodom, Job For a Cowboy, and High On Fire. Here are all of the confirmed Continue reading »

DMed’s Video of the Week: Goldfrapp, “A&E”

January 18, 2008 /

It’s the middle of January, and we already have a contender for Video of the Year. The beginning looks like a Sarah McLachlan cliché gone horribly wrong, with Alison Goldfrapp dressed in white lying on the ground in a forest, magic-hour light cascading down on her. Then she stands up, and you see that she’s wearing a white top, and nothing else. Suddenly, two leaf men sprout out of the ground, and the silliness begins. Even better is Dave Gregory’s appearance at the very end.

The money shot comes at the 1:26 mark, when Alison lifts her arms Scott Stapp-style, and you’re pretty sure you’re about to see something you’re not supposed to. Of course, you don’t, but hot damn, is it a fabulous tease.

American Idol: Back To The Future

January 17, 2008 /

Last night’s “American Idol” featured primary auditions from Dallas, Texas. And the show had to harp on the fact that this is where they found Kelly Clarkson six years ago..and I mean, they HARPED on it. Back away from yourselves Idol, we all know your impact on pop music and that you suck us all in to watch these first episodes of frogs and princesses.

With that, here are the frogs and princesses from last night:

Paul Stafford, a park attendant who they showed picking up trash at work, looked like a real-life Dilbert, and he sang just like you would expect him to. Next.

Beth, a singing waitress who was borderline obsessed with Kelly Clarkson, was not as good as you would expect. Simon commented that he couldn’t understand a word Beth was singing, and I completely agree.

Then there was Bruce, who admitted that he, at 19, has never kissed a girl. What’s more, he had some stupid key on a necklace because he’s waiting for the perfect woman to unlock her heart. That sound you just heard is every eligible woman in America running the other way. Still, Bruce sang “Ain’t No Sunshine” and wasn’t all that bad, but not good enough.

There was a student from Austin Continue reading »
