Lou Reed, David Byrne, Moby and Others Team Up at “Speak Up!” Show

“We wanted to make some statement from New York City — the center of the universe,” said Lou Reed in a hallway press conference for Speak Up!, an anti-war benefit held last night at intimate Brooklyn theater St. Ann’s Warehouse. While the sixty-five-year-old NYC icon isn’t in any shape to be chaining himself to a recruiting station, he certainly can gather a who’s who of the lefty art-rocker geekerati: David Byrne, Moby, Blonde Redhead, Scissor Sisters, Damien Rice, Norah Jones and co-organizers Laurie Anderson and Antony, who helped conceive the event in Anderson’s living room. It was a night where every song felt like a protest anthem — even when the Scissor Sisters sang “I ain’t got nothing but your seed on my face/You’ll put them babies to waste.” That could be about sending kids to war, right? Reed, Anderson, Antony and Moby opened the show with a broken version of “The Star Spangled Banner.” Lou’s feedback never quite nailed the notes and he mangled the words a little bit (”home of the free and the home of the brave”), but it all made perfect sense. On the fifth anniversary of a war that has been pushed off the headlines in favor of an election, our national anthem was given an appropriate luster of unease and trepidation. Norah Jones performed slinky versions of her “My Dear Country” and Randy Newman’s “I Think It’s Going To Rain Today.” David Byrne, armed with a four-person choir, led an art-gospel sermon full of huge choruses. Damien Rice was on hand to add harmonies (and the shittiest tambourine playing since Tracy Partridge), but Byrne’s mesmerizing presence kept his pair of originals spiraling heavenward. The perennially chilly Laurie Anderson pulled out the snarky electrofunk of her recent “Only An Expert,” vivisecting corporations and Oprah and weapons of mass destruction and global warming in that

Pearl Jam, Amy Winehouse, Ben Harper: Behind the Scenes at Lollapalooza With the Smoking Section

The Smoking Section has to give it up for Eddie Vedder, who swept through Chicago and made our Lollapalooza worth living. We arrived on Thursday, and instead of selling our Pearl Jam ticket to one of the desperate fans outside of the Vic Theater (one offer: $5,000 in cash), we caught a bizarrely original gig by the band — no big hits. The gig started with Eddie and his acoustic guitar and a dope song about the Chicago Cubs. “Someday we’ll go all the way!” he screamed, and so did the crowd. The next afternoon, about a half-hour before the start of the Mets v. Cubs game at Wrigley, Eddie threw about fifteen solid pitches in the Cubbies bullpen, before delivering a fastball strike for the game’s first pitch. Lollapalooza was insanely hot. In the middle of Grant Park, where Lolla went down for the third straight year, is the massive fountain in the opening credits of “Married… With Children” — but you can’t jump in. And there was a bit of a weird vibe along with the sweat. Though Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney told us that Lolla “is one of the few festivals where you can hop in a cab and be on your way to a neighborhood bar”, there was very little communal spirit. It was no Bonnaroo, where people are forced to suffer the trials and tribulations of living in the shit with one another for three days straight. Corporate sponsorship was everywhere, with scary old people dotting the air-conditioned tents (fetching up to $75,000 a piece) that perched about a hundred yards away from the two main stages (which are a twenty minute walk away from each other). Still, there was a lot to love. On Friday, while Pete and Ashlee Wentz (née Simpson) held hands in the backstage bar, we caught dope sets from Blonde Redhead, LCD Soundsystem and afrobeat heir Femi Kuti and his sick band, Positive Force. The Daft Punk set was killer, but more fans were drawn to Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals show on the oth

Fricke’s Picks: School of Seven Bells

Class Act Opening for Blonde Redhead and the Raveonettes at a recent New York show, School of Seven Bells, founded by ex-Secret Machines guitarist Ben Curtis and featuring twin-sister singers Alejandra and Claudia Deheza, slipped easily between epochs — medieval polyphony, laptop sorcery, the rhythmic turmoil of Public Image Ltd.’s 1981 album, Flowers of Romance — with smart hooks and the Dehezas’ alluring vocals, liberally greased with reverb. The group’s 2007 EP, Face to Face on High Places (Radium/Table of the Elements), is as addictive to look at — twelve-inch clear vinyl with a laser-etched image on one side — as it is to play.

Vegoose Festival Report: Rage Against the Machine, the Stooges, Shins, Daft Punk, More

For three years now, the Vegoose festival has been bringing Las Vegas the sort of eclectic acts the city normally shuns: metal, hip-hop, politically motivated tunage and indie rock’s latest beloved. This year was no exception: the first day alone delivered Mastodon, Public Enemy, M.I.A. and the Shins. Throw in Saturday night performances by Iggy and the Stooges and Daft Punk, and you might just have the most musically diverse day in Sin City history. (For a full photo gallery from Vegoose, click here.) From the start great music was plentiful. Gogol Bordello opened the festival with one of the strongest sets of the weekend. Backed by two percussionist/dancers, ferocious fiddle playing and singer Eugene Hutz’s manic presence, the band won over an audience that seemed delightfully surprised by the band’s gypsy-punk attack. As with many of the afternoon bands, the Vegoose set was only the beginning of their Vegas trip. After performing, the band did a signing in a makeshift Zia Records tent in the Vegoose field, before heading to downtown Las Vegas where bandmembers spun discs at Beauty Bar until 3 AM. Not everything worked. Bands like the Shins (who wore costumes) and Blonde Redhead (who did not) found their more intricate music bleed away by the acoustics of a vast field and competing bands. Vegoose has three active stages and overlap between sets made it hard to see everything even for the most dedicated fans. Perhaps the biggest disappointment of Saturday was competing sets between Cypress Hill and Public Enemy (who arranged for that?). Still, some of the Cypress audience popped over long enough to join Chuck D for a rousing chant of “Fuck George Bush.” Other of Chuck D’s pronouncements on affairs of State might have been a bit over the crowd’s head: His complaints that the Euro and Pound were kicking American ass ellicited a collective “huh?” As night descended with dust filling the air from the dirt field, Iggy and the Stooges came out and gra

Blonde Bombshell?

Julianne Moore has gone from a redhead to a blonde. I don't know if this is for a movie role or not, but I kinda hope it is. I'm not really feeling this look on her at all. I think she looks radiant as a redhead...but the blonde looks kinda BLAH to me.What do you think?img
