The season finale of
Saturday Night Live was jam packed with the music of the Rolling Stones. Which makes sense considering that Mick Jagger was the host and musical guest. But with the help of Arcade Fire, Jeff Beck and Foo Fighters (who had just finished headlining Bamboozle three hours before their appearance), the musical portions of the show were by far the most memorable.
Down below you can check out Jagger performing "The Last…

Well there it is. The Grammy. The award that artists strive to win and the one that bloggers and fans hate. Primarily because, as fans, we feel that OUR favorite bands deserve all the accolades and fuck the rest. But this award ceremony offers us a place to vent our frustrations and reaffirm our hatred for genres and artists we can't stand. There's gonna be a lot of hate for one Justin Bieber again...even if he isn't nominated…

Twitter to check out my commentary,) some highlights included a performance from Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger and Arcade Fire and wins for Black Keys, Iron Maiden, Neil Young, and Arcade Fire for Album of the Year. All the winners are listed down below along with videos of…

Looks like when
one festival reveals their line up, the rest start coming out the woodwork.
Thanks to
Consequence of Sound, we now know the line up for the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. Now, to the uneducated, you're probably wondering why would we talk about a jazz…

Well here we are again. The time when the old, white men of the recording industry decide to bestow their blessings on artists who they feel should get a Grammy award while the rest of us pull out our hair because the real talents didn't get any recognition.
We should first be proud, however, that Arcade Fire are up for Album of the Year with
The Suburbs and Florence + The Machine and Mumford & Sons are up for Best New Artist. It's talent that definitely…

The guitar legend known as Eric Clapton has decided to grab some of the best guitar players around and put them in one place for everybody to hear. That event is known as the 2010 Crossroads Guitar Festival.
Clapton has enlisted the skills of artists like B.B. King, ZZ Top, The Allman Brothers Band, Buddy Guy, Steve Winwood, Jeff Beck, Vince Gill, Sheryl Crow and John Mayer (who's in a bit of hot water these days) to play the festival that will take place…

Tonight is the night where the biggest and brightest stars in music come together to congratulate each other for winning awards based on
the amount of records they sold the quality of their records and songs.
But here's something you may not have known. A ton of the awards are handed out prior to the televised show that you see due to time constraints. Since so many of those awards were already handed out…
