Caviare Days
Here are the latest batch of news stories I’ve done for the Spinner AOL empire:
Zeus do a live version of “Strong Mind.” Check out Neil’s hair.
Jack White isn’t interested in dance music.
Sled Island 2012 lineup gets announced.
Coldplay don’t really talk about the Olympics, say U2 rule (they’re probably lying).
Kay, she of My Name Is Kay, makes music with some guy.
Caviare Days: Hot pant-wearing Swedish sisters who make psychedelic dance pop. Yes, that’s exactly what it is.

My tenure as the author of Spinner’s “This Week In Music History” continues.
This week was very exciting because I finally had the opportunity to (in some small way) discuss hologram rock stars. They’re the future, you know. So, yeah, there were holograms, We Are The World, Roger Waters almost getting bombed and that story about Rolling Stones‘ Keith Richards falling out of a tree — drunken pratfalls are funny to me, even if dude almost died.

Michael Jackson
Spinner’s still letting me do my “This Week In Music History” feature.
Wait until they figure out I intend to turn this thing into the definitive T’Pau chronicle.
Anyway, besides T’Pau this week’s column featured Michael Jackson, Freddy Mercury, The Cure’s Robert Smith, The Kingsmen vs. the FBI, Joey Ramone, Buddy Holly and Sonny Bono.

Ghostface Killah
I’ve been in-house helping do some editing at Spinner AOL the last couple weeks and it’s meant I’ve also written up a batch of quickie news stories. Here’s a bunch of ’em:
Metric inspired by Gary Glitter. Optics-wise, if Metric want to avoid lowbrow jokes they should avoid touring Thailand this year.
Ghostface Killah, Matthew Good, Bad Religion free shows at NXNE. This is super-exciting because I now understand what Ghostface is talking about.
Japandroids are covering Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds. The song they’re doing is “Jack The Ripper.”

Hey Ocean! make a nice song.
