Two Brooklyn women are upsetting the Jewish order with an in-your-face brand of worldly rock music.
In your face Hassids! The problem is they only play to women though... I'm all set with having prayer shawls tossed up on the stage...strictly panties please.
2. Bridge Bene breakdown
No, not breaking down all the acts.. we're talking about Axl Rose. "GNR" did an acoustic set, and let's just say their rendition of Welcome to the Jungle is "must listen" status.. for all the wrong reasons. Think this line from the article sums it up nicely:
"Pro-shot footage of the set from a webcast has surfaced and the first track we watched was Welcome To The Jungle which is just horrible. Axl sounds like a bad cover band singer."
Here's a slice of the Neil Young & Crazy Horse set as well..
3. The stars are aligning...
for a Justin Beiber sighting at Phish New years.. and I for one, am not happy about it.
Trey Anastasio Covers A “Justin Bieber Song” / Tells Origin Story
The Phish guitarist then told the crowd they were about to hear the first song that group (featuring current TAB drummer Russ Lawton and bassist Tony Markellis) ever wrote and performed and said that “who would’ve ever guessed that years later in would become a Justin Bieber song?” in reference to the First Tube tease Justin Bieber guitarist (and Phish fan) Dan Kanter dropped at a recent JB show.
The only acceptable "bieber" sighting at MSG, would be something akin to this
And in other Phish news... finally a DVD of a show I was at! Fired up, though this was definitely not the best show of that summer tour that we saw. The Vernon Down the House set would have been a much better call..
4. Sample This
Trailer: Sample This – The Story Of The Incredible Bongo Band
Apache, the lead track from the Incredible Bongo Band’s 1973 debut album Bongo Rock, 
can be dubbed the most famous and arguably the most recognizably sampled song in hip hop history. The band, who made two instrumental albums of Latin and African influenced percussive-heavy music, is the subject of the new documentary Sample This. The 85-minute film tells the story of the unusual set of circumstances that turned their cult classic records, which Ringo Starr may or may not have been apart of recording, into a goldmine for hip hop break beats that are still be used in samples today.

Interesting trailer for a documentary coming out
about the tune "Apache" which apparently is one of the most samples
songs in the history of hip hop. (One you hear it, you'll definitely
recognize it) It's also the tune with THE BEST music video of all time..
(and by best, I of course mean, THE WORST). Ironically Grantland just dissected this a few weeks ago.. but definitely check out the full video here:
All hyperbole aside, it is something you just have to see to believe.
5. The Reviews Are In
Is 3 stars good or bad? Because the way this guy wrote the blurb, sounds like he liked the new Trey album. Of course, that means he's not a Phish fan.
Trey Anastasio
Traveler
October 16, 2012
The jam-band swami tries atmospheric pop with members of the National
and Mates of State on this solo joint. The arrangements, full of
spacious production and abstract beats, can be gorgeous, and the cover
of Gorillaz's "Clint Eastwood" is spot on, even if its potent hooks
point to a shortage elsewhere. But "Pigtail" – all class-clown
philosophizing and noodle-dance groove – is the slam-dunk: a reminder of
what he does better than anyone else.

I thought THIS was what trey did better than anyone else...
or perhaps..
no no.. this for sure..
oh right.. it's this!
(though back in the day.. this was good too)
6.Sad Trombone?
Is that like a Rusty one?
Nice lil compilation from AV club.. I love that Flight of the Concords is #1...
7. Rush fans rejoice
They're the "new grateful dead"... wait, is that a good thing?
Cult rock band takes Grateful Dead path to limelight
By Jed GottliebFriday, October 19, 2012 -
Hold your fire and let me make my case. Yes, the bands’ jams are diametrically opposed (yet both are perfect for staring at a lava lamp through a haze of smoke). But since the death of Jerry Garcia, Rush has become the biggest cult band in the world.
8. It's not music related
But, if you missed it last night... watching this 60 minutes segment will definitely:
A) get your mouth watering
B) get you "in the mood" to pump some tunes.
C) Hopefully give us a look into the future here in Mass.
D) Remind me once again why I should have taken a job in Denver
E) All of the Above
