The New Cars: overdue reunion or blatant money grab?

March 16, 2006 /

I will confess to thinking that the idea of the New Cars, featuring Todd Rundgren on lead vocals and former Tube Prairie Prince on drums, was shameless. The lead singer and main songwriter isn’t involved, the other main singer is dead, and the drummer is not involved, presumably because he’s trapped under something heavy. Elliot Easton and Greg Hawkes, it appeared, needed some money, and were not afraid to cash in on their former glory in order to get it.

And then I saw the video. Ho, ly, shit. Todd Rundgren is a dead ringer for Ric Ocasek. He even wears sunglasses in the video, like Ocasek was fond of doing. The song sounds like a vintage, Shake It Up-era track, no joke. Okay, the song’s not going to make anyone stop listening to “Just What I Needed,” but as comebacks go, this is better than you think.

Some band makes a video, lots of hot sluts show up. Any questions?

March 6, 2006 /

From the time it took me, all thirty seconds or so, to go from the publicist’s email — hyping the band that’s going to be on radio stations “all across the planet” or some such nonsense — to here, I have already forgotten the name of the band in question. East City Outlaws, I think? West End Girls? Something like that. (Just doublechecked the link, and the band gave themselves the oh-so clever name Edge City Outlaws.) But the video they made, a black & white homage to playing in a rock band, drinking whiskey, and being up to your eyeballs in tail no matter how pug fugly you are, will pump the blood of any red-blooded male regardless how much the song sucks ass. It’s unclear why they even bother censoring themselves (a circle with an X pops up when the camera looks up a girl’s skirt, twice) since the vid isn’t anywhere near MTV-friendly. Why not embrace the full extent of your amateur porn fetish?

You can find a link to the video here. Our suggestion: watch the video with the sound down and play Andrew WK’s “Party Hard” instead. Same message, better results.

Copeland not done with The Police

March 6, 2006 /

Stewart Copeland has always been the most vocal about getting The police back together. It’ll probably never happen as a regular working band concept again, but in the meantime Copeland is releasing his own tour documentary, Everyone Stares: The Police Inside Out. It was shot during the band’s gigging for Zenyatta Mondatta, but if you’re going to be looking for any “classic Police fighting,” you’ll be disappointed. According to Copeland, “This movie showed me — and I hope it shows the world — that it’s a myth. This thing about the Police fighting all the time is just not true. We did argue — but any band that is a decent band, that has any kind of vitality, has creative tensions.”

Sledgehammers for Cutie

February 21, 2006 /

So Death Cab for Cutie is making a video for every song on their most recent album Plans, and the newest one to hit the Web is for second single “Crooked Teeth.” Someone clearly watched Peter Gabriel’s “Sledgehammer” a few times before setting this one up. But as they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and this is a pretty good imitation.

You can view the clip here. Enjoy.
