Joyce Manor “Never Hungover Again” Album Reviewed
The album as a whole is short and sweet, and upon first listen, I thought definitely too short. However, upon further listening, I realized that if it had been any longer, it would’ve been repetitive and simply not as good. I feel like I could never get tired of having it on repeat, which is a quality Joyce Manor’s had since the very beginning

Listen to Weezer’s New Song ‘Back To The Shack’
Four years is a long time, and the band also explained that Cuomo wrote the new songs at a pace slower than usual, ‘giving the songs … time to gradually grow into their final forms’, organizing them ‘thematically around three groups of songs’ and utilizing the ‘sound from the band’s earliest days to tell new stories in 2014.’

Bono: “Why would Any One Want Another U2 Album?”
Through it all they were a fountain of, even costing me a couple of friendships with mutual acquaintances along the way, and I need them and am beyond excited they will be back. So Bono the answer is: we want another U2 album if only because it is much more fun picking on you than on Chris Martin

“22 Jump Street” Reviewed
The comedy has a very funny ending credits with short coming attractions of supposed sequels they go to “cooking school, flight school, fireman school, as foreign exchange students and at dance school ” according to Mashable here. It is funny, the movie is pretty funny in a harmless sort of way

10 Songs: Wednesday, July 23rd, 2014
o To 100/The Catch Up – Drake – Drake sucks on stage and can drag over an album but when he drops a single and when it is out of the blue like “Started From The Bottom” and this very well rhymed state of the Drake (he is sick of apologizing to girls) he is in a whole other league – A

This includes trashing the store and reportedly pissing on it as well, there was also some speak of coke snorting but hey man.. whatevs.

MTV VMA Nominations… Same Ol’ Thang
We at rocknyc should really have our own awards show- we have a wider range and more snarky opinions and if it were my category, it’d be “The Artists Who Pissed Me off The Most”, let me tell ya kids, that’d be one long nomination list.

Jungle’s “Jungle” Reviewed
The two songs that open Jungle “The Heat” and “Accelerate” are serious keepers, and if by “Platoon” you’ve kinda gotten the point, better repeating this album when necessary, the sound is samey, the horns, synths, falsettos, and strings, all a touch manufactured, but that doesn’t make them any less perfect.

Must See: Jimmy Page In Conversation This November
I’d love to see Page bring out the Zep catalog on stage one more time but he has a huge problem, who do you get to play Page? Adam Lambert? Eddie Vedder (right attitude, wrong key). Anyway, buy tickets for the November 3rd conversation at the 92nd Street Y here.

Rock NYC Live and Recorded
To Write Love On Her Arms or ‘TWLOHA’ is an organization of hope and public awareness for those affected (not just afflicted) with depression and other mental demons. There are those who claim this organization is a farce. Going so far as to protest their doings and condemn their actions. To those I grant you the giant flip off. 
The quote goes on with 'certainly nothing to sneeze at'. Which brings us to this highly staged yet beautiful photograph (who's Corona?) at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles.
