Now we’re talking. Or listening, at least. Musicals, musical biopics and streaming concerts are getting hot, so wire up the good speakers and get to it.
There are a lot of new normals emerging, but the idea of live streaming ticket from any venue, anywhere, is long overdue. Check out how Smalls in NYC is planning to fill its empty venues with music lovers viewing from afar. Thanks again to the NYT for keeping us all in the loop!
Is Lady Gaga’s new album really something to binge about? Well, if you need to just blow out the vents with a much anticipated disco blast that you play loud and put on repeat, sure it is! If you’re even slightly interested, pop on over to Billboard’s review, which lets you sample every track. Maybe it’s a way to end May on a high note.
(Week of May 25th) This is a great, great series that we’ve been posting weekly. There are plenty of short, live performances and recorded concerts from top players across all different platforms. Dave Matthews is a biggie Wednesday night, but there are many more to check out. So check ’em out!
If you like your Zep, you’ll love this free stream. But you don’t gotta whole lotta time on this one. Starting this Saturday, this great concert performance… their first headlining event in 27 years, at the time… is rocking on YouTube. Hit the link for more details and set your reminders!
It’s pronounced “brun-CHAPPY hour” and can be used in a sentence like so: “I saw this week’s list of daily streaming concerts on Bingelandia, so I’m arranging a little brunchappy hour from 1:00 to about 7:00 every day!” Brunchappy Hour™. It’s even better than Blunch™.
Open archives are awesome, and we try to feature one a week. I haven’t dived in too far yet, but already have Billie Eilish and am digging it. There’s quite a range here, so find something to fit your mood right away!
This has all the makings of an easy two-week binge. The NYT has gathered up a bunch of music documentaries that you can work your way through in no time. So sit on down, turn it up and give yourself a nice musical kick off to this strange summer of staying at home.
I’ve actually done this before… the great Grease sing-along. And you know what? Fun is the word. And it’s even better, because CBS is including follow-along lyrics, just in case you don’t know every word to every song. But you do, because it’s GREASE! Get the family in on this one:)
Maybe we’re all just jonesing for live music, or maybe musicians are just jonesing to play. But these turn-ons keep coming my way, so I’ll keep sending them yours. What can I say… it’s a musical week! But with all this great stuff playing right around happy hour time, maybe it’s time to start building some socially distanced cocktail hours around all the good vibes:)
Thanks to WWOZ in New Orleans, here’s a chance to get a good musical thrill from some of your favorite musicians playing live from down home, and then throw a little scratch in their virtual tips jars. It may be remote, but it’s a sho nuff real connection where everyone wins. Check out the line-up and go on a good new-fashioned link crawl today!
You read that right! The film of the original Broadway production – starring Lin Manuel Miranda himself – has been bumped WAAAAY up in the schedule and will now debut in time for the 4th of July! We’re still six weeks out on that, but good news can never come too early these days.
Amazing, world-class and… wait for it… FREE! It’s hard to overstate how amazing this offering from Lincoln Center in NYC truly is.
