Five '70s Metal Bands Who Are Better Than Black Sabbath

OK, we get it. You like Sabbath. Everyone does. But there's a whole big world out there of '70s metal bands that goes beyond Sabbath -- even beyond Sir Lord Baltimore, if you can believe that. The '70s offered so much in the way of doom-and-gloom heaviness that it's criminal so many stop with Ozzy, ... More >>

Fleetwood Mac - Prudential Center - 4/24/13

Better Than: The idea of the band not reuniting this year at all. It begins with "Second Hand News" -- a song with a title and lyrics probably meant to be a self-deprecating nod to the reunion's time and place. It's an entire arena clutching their hearts along to songs that are older than I am and ... More >>

Your Thorough C. Spencer Yeh Primer

C. Spencer Yeh is one loquacious dude. Pose a question to the guy, and it's likely to return a treatise as discursive and winding as his improv pieces tend to be. In a world of limited print space, Yeh's long-form conversational gregariousness runs a definite endangered-species risk: our email inter ... More >>

Lana Del Rey Takes Her Place On The Internet's Sacrificial Altar With "Born To Die"

​In another era, Lana Del Rey would just be another pretty pop singer with a second-rate voice and big, unrealized ambitions, a major-label footnote maybe worth a page or two in a book about the foibles of the early-'10s music industry. But this is The Age Of Trollgaze, and so her "mysterious" ... More >>

Live: Lykke Li Puts A Spell On Central Park

Lykke Li Central Park Summerstage Monday, August 1 Better than: Throwing out love incantations at home.

The Voice Trots Out The Biggish Names, Crowns Its First Champ

Here we are, at the end of The Voice's almost shockingly successful debut season, one that may have actually turned around NBC's abysmal fortunes. There's not a ton of internal drama in The Voice's reality, and I can't say I cared too terribly much which of the four finalists would win. But the jou ... More >>

Lady Gaga Drags The Boss To The Club On 'Hair'

​Is all you need for a "Bruce Springsteen-like song" these days a Clarence Clemons sax solo, some chimingly anthemic piano lines, and a big old "Be My Baby" drumbeat on the pre-outro breakdown? Lady Gaga sure hopes so; she's claiming that her latest Born This Way teaser track, "Hair," is direc ... More >>
