Playing 98 shows in 1972, the most until 1994, Pink Floyd debuted the live performance before its release not of a song but a whole album. ]]> http://www.unratednyc.com/2009/10/pink-floyds-1972-darkside-of-the-moon-tour/feed/ 1 http://www.unratednyc.com/2009/08/david-gilmour-brings-high-hopes-to-gdansk/ http://www.unratednyc.com/2009/08/david-gilmour-brings-high-hopes-to-gdansk/#comments Thu, 20 Aug 2009 11:06:55 +0000 Sam http://misovibrations.com/?p=1167 From the banshee screams that complete 1971’s “Echoes” to the squealing pig noises of 1977’s “Pigs (Three Different Kinds)” drummer Nick Mason, bassist Roger Waters, keyboardist Richard Wright, and guitarist/vocalist David Gilmour, created some of the most unique music the world has ever known]]> http://www.unratednyc.com/2009/08/david-gilmour-brings-high-hopes-to-gdansk/feed/ 0 http://www.unratednyc.com/2009/08/shontelle-unratednyc-star-shining-bright/ http://www.unratednyc.com/2009/08/shontelle-unratednyc-star-shining-bright/#comments Sun, 16 Aug 2009 06:30:33 +0000 Sam http://misovibrations.com/?p=1665 The eleven captivating songs on Shontelligence were recorded over a two year period. Co-written with producers Sturken and Rogers, the album presents an array of songs which display Shontelle’s depth and versatility; like the motivational anthem, “Battle Cry,” also featured on a compilation album inspired by President-Elect Barack Obama’s campaign called Yes We Can: Voices of a Grassroots Movement, and “Life Is Not An Easy Road,” a reggae-influenced track that encourages strength in the face of adversity.]]> http://www.unratednyc.com/2009/08/shontelle-unratednyc-star-shining-bright/feed/ 0 http://www.unratednyc.com/2009/07/to-be-where-theres-oasis/ http://www.unratednyc.com/2009/07/to-be-where-theres-oasis/#comments Sat, 01 Aug 2009 04:28:36 +0000 Sam http://misovibrations.com/?p=1830 “I think the band is without a fucking doubt a million times the best it’s ever been. As long as people get off on coming to the concerts, I’ll forgive them for not buying the records.” Liam’s cheeky arrogance may seem disproportionate to the band’s success stateside, but to the 500 thousand people who immediately bought tickets for their concerts the day they went on sale, Oasis is still the dog’s bollocks. ]]> http://www.unratednyc.com/2009/07/to-be-where-theres-oasis/feed/ 0 http://www.unratednyc.com/2009/07/how-seattle-based-outtasite-rocks-the-rap/ http://www.unratednyc.com/2009/07/how-seattle-based-outtasite-rocks-the-rap/#comments Sun, 12 Jul 2009 11:23:30 +0000 Sam http://misovibrations.com/?p=1816 Over two decades have passed since Rock and Rap music first collided when a young Run DMC covered Aerosmith’s “Walk This Way” off their 1975 album, Toys In The Attic.
