The Dirty Guv’ners Youth Is in Our Blood By Al Kaufman Most band members aren’t exactly known for their academic intelligence. Make it a bluesy, southern rock band and the odds are even greater.

This weekend, you are probably going to be in one of two camps. 1) You’ll be wrapped up in a happy cocoon of Christmastime, joyfully taking part of all the eating, presents, caroling and sleeping.

During that time, My Chemical Romance have grown and matured. Guitarist Frank Iero said when the band started out […]

While most often compared to that other weird piano playing diva, Tori Amos, Spektor comes across as more appealing, and possibly slightly wackier.
