Pearl Jam Goes On You've gotta hand it to the Pearl Jam fans. They are REAL, and likely one of the most hardcore and dedicated fan bases in America. To many, Pearl Jam is merely the "other" Grunge band, but they're one of the most successful and influential bands of the last two decades. And despite their mopey reputation, Vedder and crew really seem quite content these days. They were really into it on stage......

Incase you aren't going to see Aimee Mann tonight @ St. Ann's Warehouse but are still finding yourself in that chick-rock kind of mood, go check out Erin Mckeown.

She plays tonight, for free, at Pier 17/South......

Okay, let's get it out of the way: Madonna kissed Britney. Madonna kissed Christina. Fine. Of course Madonna did something outre and not very Gappy by kissing Britney and Christina, but when Gothamist started to think about it, it was totally predictable and not that hot or exciting.

Whoa, Meghan O'Rourke, an editor at Slate, gave a really devastating review of Liz Phair's new album, Liz Phair, in the New York Times this past weekend. O'Rourke calls Phair's album an "embarrassing form of career suicide." But when Gothamist read further, the review was more a lament about the Liz Phair of Exile from Guyville, tough and take no prisoners, not tarted up like Britney and using Avril Lavigne's songwriters: "You half expect the......

Even though Suffolk County has denied their permit, promoters claim the Field Day Festival, the two-day concert with acts like the Beastie Boys, Radiohead, Beck, and Liz Phair, will still go on. Schedule for June 7-8, the concert is to be held at a former Grumman U.S. naval facility in Calverton, NY. The accusations/excuses the town of Riverhead faces are that roads wouldn't be able to handle the traffic, the land would be irrevocably damaged,......
