Road Warriors 40

Country mega-stars Keith Urban and Carrie Underwood will hit the road together as co-headliners beginning January 31 for 24 shows. The tour is being billed as Love, Pain, & the Whole Crazy Carnival Ride Tour (really now, why do these concert promoters think they have to try and be clever?). Tickets go on sale December 1.

Winehouse bombs

Well, Amy Winehouse got back to her usually delayed concert tour yesterday, but things didn’t go as anyone planned or expected. According to the report,

“This is for my husband,” she said before launching into both “Wake Up Alone” and “Tears Dry on Their Own.”

However, when fans began to boo her indecipherable lyrics, which were punctuated throughout the night with fits of tears, Winehouse lashed out at the paying masses, threatening them with retaliation from her locked-up hubby and calling them “muggy c–ts” for buying tickets to the show in the first place.

“To them people booing, wait til my husband gets out of incarceration,” she said. “And I mean that.”

Enjoy the show, folks. It’ll certainly be something to tell the grandkids, I’m sure.

Man-About-MySpace: Motion Turns It On

We get a lot of new music CDs from up-and-coming bands here at Bullz-Eye, and while we don’t always have the bandwidth to review them all, they don’t deserve to fall through the cracks.

Thus we introduce the Houstonian quintet Motion Turns It On here at ESDMusic, because they have a nice little MySpace page that presents the ethereal guitar-pop band in all its indie glory.


Instrumental, experimental, psychedelic and downright soothing at the end of a long day, Motion Turns It On evokes ambient, almost jazz-oriented chordings in a smooth way certain to please the ears of old Brian Eno fans all the way to more hip jam-band fans. Even Phish-heads who liked the downtempo side of the Vermont earthy-crunchies will dig Motion’s vibe.

Try it, you’ll like it. We do. For those who want more than a taste, the band’s six-song EP rima is pulling down critical kudos all over the web, including this one at Amplifier.
