R.E.M.-Orange Crush(Live) This DVD reminded me why I was an REM fan in the first place. Recorded in Germany in 2003, the concert features plenty of hits (Man on the Moon, One I Love), some obscurities (Begin the Begin, Maps & Legends) and some recent songs I hadn't paid enough attention to (Electrolite and Imitation of Life, which sounds like a lost classic) All three band members look like they're enjoying themselves, but the real focus is of course Michael Stipe. Stipe's in good spirits , interacting warmly with the crowd, and making you wonder why you stopped listening to this band. REM is a band that has been nothing but themselves for over 20 years, and this DVD shows they're still capable of rocking hard and making great new music. The disc also includes a charming documentary about REM's concerts at Stirling Castle in Scotland in 1999. Recommended. Tags: Concert |

R.E.M.-The One I Love .E.M. is an American rock band formed in Athens, Georgia, in early 1980 by drummer Bill Berry, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and vocalist Michael Stipe. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007. Throughout the 1980s, the band released an album per year for seven consecutive years, from their debut EP in 1982 (Chronic Town) through 1988's Green. They also toured constantly, playing a variety of venues, from theaters to backwoods dives. Along the way, their sound influenced many bands, from jangle pop groups of the mid-'80s to alternative rock bands of the '90s. The band became admired for its slow, steady rise to stardom. R.E.M. found itself established as a key element of the burgeoning alternative rock scene of the 1980s. Upon attaining major-label success at dawn of the '90s, the band was able to put forth broader political and environmental concerns while playing large arenas worldwide, and retaining most of its artistic credibility. In 1997, Bill Berry amicably left the band, leaving the band as a three-piece. Through some reinvention R.E.M. continued their career into the next decade with mixed critical and commercial success. The band expects to release a new album with producer. Tags: Concert |

THE CULT-Heart of Soul 1991, Astbury and Duffy were writing again for their next album. During the demo recordings, Todd Hoffman and James Kottak played bass and drums. During the actual album recording sessions, Mickey Curry was recruited again played drums, with Charley Drayton on bass, and various other performers. Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy's working relationship had disintegrated by that time, with the two men reportedly rarely even in the studio together during recording. The resulting album Ceremony was released to mixed responses. The album climbed US#34, but sales were not as impressive as the previous three records, only selling around one million copies worldwide. Only two official singles were released from the record: the explosive and Cult definitive "Wild Hearted Son" (UK #34, Canada #41) and "Heart of Soul" (UK #50), although "White" was released as a single only in Canada, "Sweet Salvation" was released as a single (as "Dulce Salvación") in Argentina in 1992, and the title track "Ceremony" was released in Spain.

THE CULT-EDIE(Ciao Baby) The Cult are an English rock band. In the mid-1980s, the Cult was one of England's leading heavy metal revivalists, a hard rock band with slight psychedelic flourishes, influenced primarily by the Native American mysticism of The Doors and the hard guitar rock Led Zeppelin and AC/DC. The band also touched upon post-punk goth rock, a relatively new style at the time.[1] The Cult had hits in Britain in the mid-1980s, such as "She Sells Sanctuary", "Rain", and "Revolution" and in the late 1980s, the Cult broke into the American heavy metal market with the song, "Love Removal Machine". Although 1989's Sonic Temple was the band's most commercially successful album, the band was fraying behind the scenes, due to alcohol abuse and off-stage tensions. By 1995, the Cult had split up.

THE HOUSEMARTINS-Happy Hour The band was formed in 1983 by Paul Heaton (vocals), Stan Cullimore (guitar), Ted Key (bass) and Chris Lang (drums). The band's membership changed quite a lot over the years. Ted Key was replaced by Norman Cook — the future Fatboy Slim — and drummer Chris Lang was replaced by Hugh Whitaker, former drummer with The Gargoyles, who in turn was replaced with Dave Hemingway. In 1986, having recorded two John Peel sessions, the band broke through with the single "Happy Hour", which reached No.3 in the UK charts. The single's success was helped by a claymation animated pop promo of a type that was in vogue at the time, featuring a cameo by TV comedian Phill Jupitus, who toured with the band under the stage name "Porky the Poet". At the end of the same year, they narrowly missed out on the Christmas No.1 single with a cover version of Isley Jasper Isley's "Caravan of Love", when it was knocked off the top spot by Jackie Wilson's "Reet Petite" on 23 December.

ULTRAVOX-Dancing with Tears in my Eyes Ultravox (formerly Ultravox!) was one of the primary exponents of the British electronic pop music movement of the early 1980s. The band was particularly associated with the New Romantic movement, although it both pre- and post-dated New Romantic by several years, drawing inspiration variously from punk, the artier side of glam rock, pub rock and latterly straightforward synthpop.

BOB GELDOF and THE BOOMTOWN RATS-I dont like Mondays Geldof was born Robert Frederick Zenon Geldof in Dún Laoghaire, County Dublin, in the Republic of Ireland, to parents of Catholic extraction. He attended Blackrock College, near Dublin, a school whose staunch Catholic nationalist ethos he disliked. After work as a slaughterman, road navvy and pea canner, he started as a music journalist in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, for the weekly publication Georgia Straight. Upon returning to Ireland in 1975, he became the lead singer of the band The Boomtown Rats, a rock group closely linked with the punk movement.In 1978, The Boomtown Rats had their first No. 1 single in the UK with "Rat Trap", which was the first New Wave chart-topper in that country. In 1979, the group shot to international fame with their second UK No. 1, "I Don't Like Mondays".[2] This was equally successful, as well as controversial; Geldof wrote it in the aftermath of Brenda Ann Spencer's attempted massacre at an elementary school across the street from her house in San Diego, California, at the beginning of 1979.

NEW ORDER-Blue Monday From 1976 to 1980, Ian Curtis, Hook, Morris, and Sumner formed a creative and highly influential post-punk band Joy Division, often featuring heavy production input from producer Martin Hannett. Curtis committed suicide just prior to an American tour and the release of the band's second album, Closer, in May 1980. Intending not to let the band disappear with Curtis, the band rehearsed with each member taking turns at singing, ultimately choosing Sumner as the guitar was an easier instrument to play while singing. The group toured, then recorded a track with singer Kevin Hewick. Tags: Concert |

JOY DIVISION-Love will tear us apart Joy Division was an English rock band that formed in 1976 in Salford, Greater Manchester. With their dark, cavernous sound and use of synthesizers and electronics, they pioneered the post-punk sound of the late 1970s and the early 1980s. The band dissolved in May 1980 after the suicide of its lead singer, Ian Curtis. The remaining members reformed as New Order and went on to achieve much critical and commercial success. Though they found only modest success during their career, and released only two studio albums, the group have since been acclaimed as one of the most inventive, evocative and influential groups of their era. Thom Jurek writes "They left just a small bit of music and an echo that still rings Tags: Concert |

VIOLENT FEMMES-Gone Daddy Gone MTV In 1993, DeLorenzo departed the group to act and make solo records. Guy Hoffman (formerly of the Oil Tasters and BoDeans) was brought in to tour what was to become one of their biggest selling records, the Add It Up (1981-1993) collection (1993). Over the next nine years, Hoffman recorded five full-length CDs and a handful of one-offs for motion picture soundtracks and other compilation projects. New Times (1994), Elektra Records), and Rock!!!!! (1995), Mushroom Records) was released in 1995 in Australia only. Tags: Concert |

VIOLENT FEMMES-Kiss Off The following year, the Violent Femmes released Hallowed Ground, which moved the group to a more country music sound and introduced spiritual themes. Their third album, The Blind Leading the Naked, produced by fellow Milwaukee native Jerry Harrison of the Talking Heads, was more mainstream and pop-oriented, resulting in a minor hit with "Children of the Revolution" (originally by T. Rex). The group then disbanded, with Gano releasing an album in 1987, the result of a gospel side project Mercy Seat. Ritchie also released several solo LPs. The group came back together in late 1988, releasing 3 and then Why Do Birds Sing? (1991), after signing to Reprise Tags: Concert |

VIOLENT FEMMES-Old Mother Reagan The lyrics were the common adolescent themes of yearning for love, sex and affection. The group quickly gained a small cult following that never burgeoned into widespread popularity, although a few songs from this album did get some recognition ("Add It Up", "Blister in the Sun", "Gone Daddy Gone" and "Kiss Off"). The debut album went platinum 10 years after its release, the only album ever to achieve platinum status without ever charting in the Billboard Top 200 Tags: Concert |

VIOLENT FEMMES-Blister in the Sun The Violent Femmes were founded by Brian Ritchie (bassist), and Victor DeLorenzo (percussionist) as a rhythm section, and became a full-fledged band upon the arrival of Gordon Gano (singer/guitarist). In its early days, the band frequently played coffee houses and street corners. They were discovered (and subsequently forgotten) by James Honeyman-Scott (of The Pretenders) August 23, 1981 when the band was busking on a street corner in front of the Oriental Theatre, the Milwaukee venue that The Pretenders would be playing later that night. Chrissie Hynde invited them to play a brief acoustic set after the opening act.[1] The band signed to Slash Records and released a self-titled album that they had recorded in July 1982. The music was an innovative combination of American folk music and indie rock, and commonly referred to as "folk-punk". Tags: Concert |

THE CULT-WildFlower But quite frankly, the rest of the record falls way short, either marred by oddball production choices (the second vocal shout of "baby" overdubbed on the tail-end of the not-as-good-as-it-should-be "Peace Dog", the total production wreck of "Aphrodisiac Jacket") or being simply unmemorable ("Electric Ocean", "King Contrary Man"). And then there's the spectacular misfire in covering Steppenwolf's "Born to Be Wild". It's tough to say what's worse, the sludgy rhythm guitars, the completely lifeless drum performance (and for that matter, production, the drums sound ludicrous), Duffy's totally disjoint (and not in a good way) guitar solo, Astbury's bizarre attempt at what I can only assert must be an teen-angst soaked sneer or the stunning bad idea of adding a whispered harmony now and again. It is though, one of those pieces that I really revel in disliking, so I suppose it's worth hearing. Tags: Concert |

THE CULT- She Sells Sanctuary Mind you, one thing that's pretty clear-- the band didn't seem completely ready for the massive style shift, and the net result is "Electric" is a remarkably inconsistent album-- the great material on here is absolutely phenomenal-- opener "Wild Flower" is a statement-- riff based rock, a fierce guitar solo, and enough attitude for a dozen albums in three-and-a-half minutes, "Lil' Devil" sounds like it was recorded by a bunch of 20 year olds in 1973, full of rock swagger and energy, and "Love Removal Machine" is another just great slice of riff-based rock and with fantastic performances from the whole band-- bassist Jamie Stewart maintains the old-style ringing sound that was prevelent in the old recordings, Duffy is inventive and exciting, and Astbury delivers his most over the top performance.

THE CULT- lil Devil A clear indication of the influence a producer can have on a band, "Electric" was a massive stylistic shift for the Cult under the influence of Rick Rubin, who steered the band away from their gothic and psychedelic influences and towards a more straightahead L.A. hard rock sound-- guitarist Billy Duffy's semi-hollow guitars, laden in effects, so crucial to the sound of the band, were traded in for a Les Paul and a pile of distortion and Ian Astbury's most indulgent swagger and attitude in his vocals were encouraged and suddenly, there was a very different band going under the name The Cult. The band had previously recorded an album (to be titled "Peace") and brought an early version of "Love Removal Machine" to Rubin for remixing. The producer didn't find anything to do with the piece, but saw the same potential the band saw in it and suggested a rerecording-- "Electric" being the product of that suggestion. Tags: Concert |
