In the mid-Seventies, David Bowie briefly lived in Los Angeles while recording his 1976 album Station to Station. Shortly after joining Beck for a pre-Grammys performance of “The Man Who Sold the World,” Dave Grohl and Pat Smear hit up some of Bowie’s famous LA haunts for Playboy, as the two drove around in a…
Dave Grohl’s publicist must love him. Just when you think Grohl can’t get any cooler or nicer, especially among a sea of asshole rock stars in the world, he keeps being amazing. Foo Fighters fan Ken Powell has been battling melanoma cancer for 14 years now. In 2009, he was classified as Stage 4 and…
Music in 2014 just wasn’t as enticing as last year. When 2013 came to a close, I couldn’t bear choosing just 20 albums to include in my Best Of list…and here, I struggled to really scrape up a solid 10. Sure, there were many albums I liked in the last 12 months, but not too…
If you’ve turned on your computer in the last year or so, you’ve heard all about the upcoming Foo Fighters album (Sonic Highways, out Nov. 11), the upcoming HBO show (same name, starts tomorrow at 11 p.m.), the Foo’s week-long residency on Letterman, and their headlining cover band gigs under the name The Holy…
Your ice bucket challenge sucks. I mean, it really blows. Congratulations for following the trend and dumping a little bit of water over your head and squealing like a pig. I saw the video. Your bucket wasn’t even full, nor did it have a sufficient amount of ice in it. But besides. Dave Grohl and…
Much to the chagrin of my friends, family and whoever else happens to be within earshot, I still haven’t been able to stop talking about this year’s Firefly Music Festival. Now that real life is happening once again (booo), my head is finally clear enough to jot down some thoughts on what I saw, who…
If I could go back in time and live in any other decade of my choosing, without question I’d live out my late teens and 20’s in the Seventies. Specifically, New York City in 1973: the era that saw the opening of one of the most important rock clubs the music industry has ever and…
Firefly DELIVERED. Rezpekt!
When the Foo Fighters set out to record their latest release, Wasting Light, frontman Dave Grohl and his bandmates went old school, digging the art of analog from its grave and recording straight to tape. No computers, no bells, no whistles. With the upcoming Rock-Doc Sound City, Grohl is still celebrating analog from the vantage…
Hey now – it’s another presumptuous and pretentious Top 10 of 2011 list! Well…yeah. Fuck you. But how can I not? In true Littlest Winslow form, this post is being presented all 2012-style. But hey – last year I posted this in March. (Really, Nick? Fucking March? I couldn’t be bothered to type something up…
