Gonzo’s Top Picks for RSD 2012
Although Record Store Day is now five years strong, 2010 was the first year that I formally recognized the holiday, and 2011 was the first year that I fully indulged. Record Store Day seems to grow each year. Artists and labels dish out increasing amounts of exclusive releases, and a growing number of customers happily part with some of their hard earned pay to snag these collectibles, while supporting their local shops. The RSD release list is now one of my most highly anticipated moments in the [...]

The Implications of Holographic Celebrity Resurrections
We live in interesting times. Over the years, The Coachella Valley Music Festival has become one of the premiere music festivals, whose only real competition in the US is Bonnaroo.

The Idiot Box: SNL Parodies Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used To Know”
Have you figured out yet how madly in love I am with Gotye’s “Someone That I Used To Know”? I missed this weekend’s episode of “Saturday Night Live” (Josh Brolin…meh…) but this skit containing Taran Killam (SNL’s MVP this season,) the always dependable Andy Samberg and Gotye himself is pretty damn hilarious. At least the guy’s a good sport, right? Incoming search terms:snl gotye skitsomebody that i used to know SNL skitsnl somebody that i used to know skitsomebody that [...]
The Viewfinder: Drake’s “Take Care” (feat. Rihanna)
You’ve got to admit: Drake & Rihanna have quite a bit of chemistry together. The video for “Take Care,” the title track of Drake’s second album, tries a bit too hard to be artsy-fartsy, what with the weird animals and stuff-but the truly engrossing visuals come from watching Rih-Rih and Drizzy interact. The song is also pretty dope-although I’m gonna have to keep referring you back to the Jamie XX/Gil Scott-Heron collaboration album We’re New Here, which contains the song [...]

Headliners include the reconstituted Black Sabbath, the newly solo Jack White, Rock & Roll Hall of Famers the Red Hot Chili [...]
