The music world lost a great man this past weekend, as Adam “MCA” Yauch of the Beastie Boys passed away from cancer. I won’t claim to be a huge fan of the Beastie Boys, I honestly only know a few songs well, but Yauch is part of a generation that has influenced pop culture for 25 years, and his contributions deserve acknowledgement.

The Gaslight Anthem released a new single yesterday, from their upcoming major-label debut Handwritten, on Mercury records. The song is a return to some of the more punk energies from their debut, but it still maintains some of the Springsteen-esque qualities that engineered their success.

Record Store Day always reminds me of my love for physical media, and this year was no exception. One of the best parts about the event is all of the singles that would otherwise not be released. Be it the Warner’s “Side by Side” series or a heart-shaped Neon Trees single. All of the songs are classics and most feature my favorite part of the single: the B-side.

There are some songs and bands on my iPod that I won’t readily admit to. Well, in theory.

The end of a band is always a sad thing. Music plays a huge role in people’s lives, and for a band to call it quits may not seem like a big deal if you’re not a fan, but the hope that maybe there’ll be just one more record means a lot to some fans.

The longer a band takes to set up and the more instruments they have the more pretentious and difficult to relate to they will be. At least, this was what I thought before Friday night. Der Rath has hosted some interesting bands, but none that have roped me in as much as the Winter Sounds.

My favorite kind of playlist is the one that is totally random, but still fits nearly every day perfectly.

Every once in a while it is required that a columnist takes out a personal frustration in print, for everyone to see and comment on. Once a week usually does it. So what has me pulling my hair out this week?

Bitching about the current state of the music industry has been
cool ever since punk-rock broke through in the mid-1970s, probably
even before then, but it hit the mainstream with CBGB's and the
Ramones. I even used to be one of those people, and I guess I still
am a little, but when really looking at it, the music industry is
almost in better shape now than it has been in the last ten
years.

Grimes (also known as Claire Boucher) is a Canadian musician,
and her latest record is a drive through electro-stoner pop
heaven.

I owe the powers that be a great big thank you for my broken
iPod screen. Normally, this would be the bane of my existence,
forcing me to turn on the clicker so that I can discern where I am
in my list of artists. But lately it has been better at figuring
out the perfect tunes for whatever mood I might be in than I
am.

Local rocker Tommy Shears took some time out of his T.S. Eliot
reading to tell me about his latest project, The Living Statues,
which has been a band years in the making. They are playing this
Thursday, Feb. 9, at the Frequency with other local boys
Baristacide and Fight Nice of Chicago.

There has been a recent uptick in the number of foreign bands I
listen to. Not because I'm anti-American music-I've got plenty of
that too-but because I've found or been introduced to some amazing
foreign musicians that I think deserve a little love.

The SOPA and PIPA controversies have been on every music-lover's
mind, and it was a relief to many when the legislation was dropped.
However, it does leave us with questions that will inevitably
effect us in the future, as the issues that SOPA and PIPA attempted
to address are far from being byone woes.

The sounds of dobro and mandolin will soon be wafting off the
historical stage at The Majestic Theatre. Maybe wafting isn't the
right word, more like pounding.

I think everyone goes through that point in their life where
music takes on a special meaning-certainly one or two albums must
stick out in your mind.
