...like Oasis. I don't really listen to much. I've got my own personal studio in my house, and I've been doing a new album for the last year. Slowly. I love, primarily, early bands, folks like Procol Harum. I think one of the best songs I've ever heard is "A Whiter Shade of Pale." Fabulous song...
Sylvester Stallone has memorized a lot of Procol Harum lyrics, and for the next two minutes I'm going to hear them. Because if you want to know what inspires a man to write a movie in which hundreds of people are blown up and which, by his own estimate, contains only three pages of dialogue between the two main characters, apparently you have to listen to the lyrics of a psychedelic 1968 song called In Held 'Twas in I: Glimpses of Nirvana. This is the song that made Stallone want to be a writer, which is surprising because while...
Sure, Stallone agreed to do the movie before Rocky Balboa was approved, but that doesn't mean he didn't find something to say. Like Procol Harum, Stallone is not afraid of metaphor, of being opaque, of answering some questions with questions and other questions with a hail of bullets.

Leaving for the holidays has made me really nostalgic for music that reminds me of home, so recently I’ve been listening to a lot of X, Tragedy, Tear It Up, Harum Scarum, Charles Bronson, D.R.I., Husker Du, and Atom Kinder. I’ve really gotten into Lightning Bolt over the past couple of weeks, and both Mecca Normal and Heroin have made more than a few appearances on my turntable. While I’m studying, I lean towards Murder by Death and Billie Holiday. In terms of shows, I recently saw (and loved) Lucky Dragons...
...Indonesian acts have ever found listeners outside the country, which is known abroad more for dangdut, gamelan and other ethnomusicological favorites. But Indonesians have been die-hard rock 'n' roll fans since the 1970s, when Procol Harum and Deep Purple made Jakarta a regular tour stop. The baby-boomer crowd still waxes nostalgic for classic rock licks and to this day continues to invite hair-band has-beens such as White Lion and Megadeth to embark on resurrection gigs. Subsequent generations, however, have forsworn feathered hair and eye shadow; the kiblat now is MTV. Seringai front man Arian, for example...
