Are you familiar with Carney? Of course if you read this site, you’re already in the know (and you’re welcome!) If you do not know the music of Carney, today is your lucky day. This band is great! When lead singer Reeve Carney has a day off from being the lead in Spider-Man Turn Off The Dark on Broadway, he moonlights in his rock and roll band with his brother Zane. They are great performers and if you like what you are about to watch (which you will), you should definitely pick up Carney’s album “Mr. Green, Volume 1.”
Carney is extra awesome because as you are about to see, they tackle covering two of the greatest songs of all time, “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “I Want You (She’s So Heavy),” by two of the greatest bands of all time – Queen and The Beatles. Their versions of both songs are fantastic! After seeing this video, you’ll agree that when Carney play in your town, they should not be missed under any circumstance.
Enjoy!
Ringo Starr’s Gold Drum

Ringo Starr's Gold Drum
New York Beatles fans will want to head over to the Metropolitan Museum of Art before June 30, 2011 to see a very rare artifact from the Fab Four. Taken from Ringo Starr’s personal collection, the Met is displaying a gold drum that was presented to Ringo by the Ludwig Drum Company in 1964. When The Beatles appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show, Ringo was such a fan of Ludwig Drums, he insisted that the brand name be shown on camera. Sales of Ludwig drums went through the roof after the Beatles appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show and as a thank you, the Ludwig Drum Company made and presented Ringo Starr with a drum made out of gold.

The drum is on display at The Met (located at 1000 5th Avenue in New York) through June 30, 2011. The golden drum is located in the Andre Mertens Galleries for Musical Instruments.

The Smoking Series by Michael Houghton. Showing for a limited time at 19 Kenmare Street in NYC.
Combine the worlds of art and music with a smokin’ hot pop-up exhibit in New York by Michael Houghton. Entitled “Smoking Series,” you’ll see many rock and roll gods depicted – having a cigarette. The Beatles, David Bowie, The Clash, Jimi Hendrix and Mick Jagger are just a few of the works on display at the pop-up gallery. This exhibit of smoking rock and roll legends is anything but a drag.

The exhibit is located at 19 Kenmare Street in New York. As my luck would have it, artist Michael Houghton was in the gallery. He advised that the exhibit will probably only be up until the middle of May, 2011, so you don’t have much time to see these cool works of art in person.
You can see a photo of the artist in front of a few more of his works, after the jump.

Have to ever wanted to hear Ozzy Osbourne give his thoughts on the Beatles? If you answered yes, today is your lucky day. After the world premiere of “God Bless Ozzy Osbourne,” which is excellent – by the way, Ozzy took a few questions from the audience. He’s sitting next to his son Jack Osbourne who produced the documentary about his dad. Also in the clip, you’ll hear a fan suggest an album title for Ozzy’s next record – and Ozzy likes it. Wow! Enjoy!
