Imelda May The Paramount, Huntington September 28 at 8 PM • paramountny.com (631) 673-7300

Imelda May, born in Dublin and raised in the Liberties, may be unknown to some – but to many she is already a superstar (her new album is out today, September 23). She is unmistakable both in her music (a fusion of surf guitars, blues, and rockabilly) and her style, with a solitary curl and shock of blonde in her jet black hair. In Ireland, her debut album, Love Tattoo, has gone triple platinum, and he's already shared stages with Eric Clapton, Chuck Berry, David Gilmour, Sharon Shannon, Jeff Beck, Shane Macgowan, Kirsty McCall, Van Morrison, Lionel Richie, Wanda Jackson, Paul Brady, and Meatloaf. Long Island is about to discover what much of the world already knows.

In Stores Today: The Latest Album Releases Late September and October are big months for what’s left of the music industry, as the major labels release new albums by “major artists” one by one, hoping they end up under someone’s tree or on their iPods … in a way, it’s just like Just Born lets out those cute little Peeps. Here's what's hitting stores today (September 23): Leonard Cohen, the only legendary artist that absoutely nobody we've ever met has actually ever heard, returns to the boards with Popular Problems, the 80-year-old Canadian singer/songwriter's umpteenth release that radio will totally ignore. Frankly, we'd love to see a Top 10 single by an 80-yearold, but we're funny that way … It's a big day for blues/rock with new stuff on the shelves by Gary Clark Jr. (Live) and the prolific Joe Bonamassa (Different Shades Of Blue) … More oldies but … uh, oldies: One of the strangest major releases we've heard of since The Crazy World of Arthur Brown is the duet album featuring legendary crooner Tony Bennett and modern marvel Lady Gaga, Cheek To Cheek, which will be available at your favorite music store or apothecary this very morning. Or something … Almost as grizzled is John Mellancamp, making another grasp at the brass ring with Plain Spoken; it's available behind the TasteeFreeze. – Bob Smith

he 2014 U.S. Open ended with Serena Williams repeating as the women’s champion, while Marin Cilic took the men’s title. He also became the first player whose last name is a palindrome to win a Grand Slam. Once again, there was a not one American player (aside from Williams) competing for a singles title after the sixth day of the Open. Sadly, American futility at the U.S. Open is an old story by now – but there may a light at the end of the tunnel for men’s American professional tennis. Recent court rulings have loosened the rules considerably in collegiate athletics, much to the chagrin of the NCAA. That means more young players can compete as professionals and not lose their college scholarships or eligibility. Noah Rubin, the 17-year-old star from Rockville Centre, won the boys’ juniors tournament at Wimbledon, but lost in straight sets on the second day of the U.S Open; he’s now attending Wake Forest University, and vows to compete in the 2015 U.S. Open. CBS has broadcasted the U.S. Open going back to the period when Lyndon Johnson was in the White House, but the 2014 U.S. Open marked the last one for the “Tiffany Network.” CBS went out in style, however, as it paid tribute to the first tournament it broadcast: the 1968 Open played at the West Side Tennis Stadium in Forest Hills, which was feted with a highlight reel following Marin Cilic’s win over Kei Nishikori. The good news for the New York Jets in their 19-14 opening game victory was that they stopped the Oakland Raiders on nearly every third down play. The Jets running game was terrific, and their defense tackled Oakland receivers as soon as they

By Lloyd Carroll caught the ball. Antonio Allen was every bit as effective at cornerback as the man he replaced, the injured Dee Milliner. The bad news for “Gang Green” was the incurrence of 105 yards in penalties, as well as quarterback Geno Smith’s questionable play-calling, which took the team out of easy field goal range on several occasions. One longtime Jets beat writer told me that he believed the reason that the Jets accrue so many penalties is that they don’t fear their head coach, Rex Ryan. Certainly Rex doesn’t get on a player after a mental mistake on the field the way that his New York Giants

Serena Williams

counterpart, Tom Coughlin, does. The Jets deserve praise for displaying a tribute to the late comedian Joan Rivers on the MetLife Stadium scoreboard during the second quarter. They were losing 7-3 at the time, but scored a touchdown on that drive and never trailed afterwards. New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson deserves credit for at least this much: His 2013 trade that sent Marlon Byrd to the Pirates for relief pitcher Vic Black and second baseman Dilson Herrera seems to be working out in a big way. Herrera, only 20, was called up when Daniel Murphy went on the disabled list. It will be interesting to see whether Alderson tries to trade Murphy during the off-season. The incumbent

BA On The Move: The Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) has entered into a shared services agreement with Luby Publishing, publisher of Bowlers Journal International, and has moved its operational headquarters to Luby’s home in Chicago, PBA Commissioner Tom Clark announced. The move, Clark said, is designed to improve the organization’s operational efficiencies, taking advantage of Luby Publishing’s expertise in membership services. The PBA will sublease space in the Luby Publishing offices, and use Luby’s staff for many of the PBA’s day-to-day operational needs. The PBA will retain its IT staff and services in Seattle. “The PBA has been a pioneer in the virtual office arena ever since it moved its administrative office from Akron, Ohio, to Seattle in 2000,” said Clark. “The organization has successfully functioned with key staff members living in areas across the United States ever since. We anticipate there will be no major change in the way we do business other than having a new mailing address.” Putting the PBA and Luby Publishing together in the same office space unites two of the oldest business entities in the sport. Luby began publishing Bowlers Journal in 1913; the PBA has provided competitive opportunities for the best

"We are happy to assist the PBA by sharing our office, as well as in sharing some of the operational duties to the benefit of both companies," said Keith Hamilton, president of Luby Publishing. “The processing of the PBA memberships is nearly the same as the processing of circulation for LPI's magazines.” – Bill Vint, PBA Media August Is Osku's: Osku Palermaa of Finland, was chosen as the August 2014 Kegel Bowler of the Month by the International Bowling Media Association, of which we are affiliated.

second baseman, who moved to third base after David Wright was lost for the season, will certainly have value just on the basis of having been named to the 2014 National League AllStar team in July. The most pleasant surprise of 2014 for the Mets was the advent of pitcher Jacob deGrom, who was on no one’s radar screen as the season began. DeGrom has been mowing down hitters all season long, and might have been a 15game winner had the Mets been able to hit a lick. It took him nearly a month to get his first win when he was called up, because the team could not hit its way out of a paper bag. DeGrom is certainly a legitimate candidate for NL Rookie of the Year. Carmelo Anthony corroborated to the rest of the media two weeks ago at the Bloomberg Sports Business Summit what I reported months ago – namely that he wanted to re-sign with the New York Knicks because New York City gives him the best opportunity to be a business magnate the way Magic Johnson is in Los Angeles. Carmelo is an investor with a beverage company, Power Coco, and also with a hand-drying product, Liquid Chalk. He is now interested in funding startup digital business ventures through his

The problem is that many of these sports highlight shows are broadcast fairly late, and it’s impossible to stay up to watch them, particularly on Sunday nights. Recently Channel 55, WLNY, began a “Sports Update” segment that airs at 9:45 pm on Saturdays and Sundays. It is anchored by Steve Overmyer, who some of you may remember from his past work at SNY, as well as his fill-in spots at WCBS/Channel 2, where he does both news and sports. Overmyer has a quick wit and never talks down to his audience. He reminds me in many ways of a younger version of the legendary local sports anchor Len Berman. The New York Islanders will make their second appearance at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn this Friday night when they play the New Jersey Devils in a pre-season game. This will be a good chance for Long Islanders to test the Long Island Rail Road to see whether they can support their favorite team in what will be their new home arena beginning in 2015. Ask any top PGA Tour golfer what is the most pressure-packed tournament of them all, and the answer won’t be the Masters, the British Open, or the U.S. Open – but rather the Ryder Cup, a tournament that is played strictly for national pride. These days it’s the United States versus Europe, but for many years it was the United States against the United Kingdom.

A recently published book, Draw In The Dunes (Thomas Dunne Books) by Neil Sagebill, is a look back at the 1969 Ryder Cup in which Jack Nicklaus and Tony Jacklin captained the American and British teams, respectively. With Atlantic City struggling to survive in light of the closing of three of its casinos this month (and a reported two more very much in risk of imminent closing), it was classy of boxer Bernard Hopkins, who grew up in nearby Philadelphia, to hold his next fight, a light heavyweight championship bout against Sergey Kovalev in AC’s Boardwalk Hall on November 8. The fight will be broadcast on HBO.

Film Reviews

The Longest Week Starring Jason Bateman, Olivia Wilde, Billy Crudup, Jenny Slate Written and directed by Peter Glanz Gravitas Ventures

Ahh, the “romcom.” Has there even a single decent one since Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan decided to stop warring over their book stores and end things with a kiss in You've Got Mail way back in 1998? Writer and director Peter Glanz tries his hand here with an amazingly attractive cast and decent performances by all (the amazing Jenny Slate, as she's done so many times, pretty much steals the show), but when you have a talky, empty script that makes even the astoundingly beautiful Olivia Wilde seem like someone you wouldn't want to be stuck in an elevator with, you know you've got some pretty serious problems. Even Gravitas Ventures' hype line for this new bomb started to give us curvature of the spine: “Affluent and aimless, Conrad Valmont lives a life of leisure in his parents’ prestigious Manhattan Hotel. In the span of one week, he finds himself evicted, disinherited, and ... in love.” If that wasn't enough to make any red-blooded male viewer spit up his Weetabix, it gets worse; the dialogue in this 90 minutes of mundane mewlings seems almost enough to prompt The Occupy Movement to start pitching tents in Central Park once again. Virtually everyone in this movie is a selfish prick, and the self-absorbed caterwauling makes it impossible to root for anyone except the usher that tells those kids in aisle four to keep their feet off the seats.

Yes, all your favorite rom-com clichés are here for your enjoyment/frequent bathrooms breaks: Overdone voiceover narration; the beautiful model that our “hero” (Bateman) falls in love with is already his best friend's (Cruddup, who seems a decade too old to be cast amongst the others here) girlfriend; and, of course … constant … preening …. conversations … among … rich … entitled... smug ... jerks who are soooo self-important you can't imagine even one of them turning on CNN to find out what's going on in the real world. It would be easy to assume that Wilde and Bateman could

become one of the world's best-looking couples, but every time either of them opens their mouths to spew their self-absorbed inanity that you hope that Larry Fine runs in and splatters their spoiled mugs with some fresh coconut custard. If nothing else, The Longest Week is perfectly titled – you'll feel as if you spent an entire week at the local cinema, wishing you'd have dropped that elevenspot on seeing Guardians Of The Galaxy a second time. In a summer of bad box office, this is the type of tripe to point to when figuring out who the culprits were. – Cody Bell

Film Reviews

It Was You Charlie

Starring Michael D. Cohen, Aaron Abrams, Anny Hopkins, Emma Fleury, Alon Nashman, Tony Rosato Written and directed by Emmanuel Shirinian A71 Entertainment

This exceptionally dark indie Canadian drama (it's been described by some as a “dark comedy,” but that designation isn't remotely accurate), which floated around film festivals around the globe for more than a year, is a word-of-mouth sleeper. Alert for grown-ups: With mallplexes full of Let's Be Cops and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, this flawed but earnest film is worth seeking out if you're in the mood for something off-kilter. The outstanding Michael D. Cohen stars as Abner, a diminutive, intellectual art professor and sculptor who is being utterly crushed by the scars of his past: He not only lost the girl of his dreams to his much more handsome brother (Abrams, of NBC's “Hannibal”), but he also has never been able to come to grips with a horrific car accident that took the life of the woman driving the other vehicle. At the beginning of the film, Abner has become a building doorman working a graveyard shift, having literally put all of his past accomplishments into storage; he has even built a model of the accident scene in his aparment as sort of a constant reminder of his sorrow. Abner isn't just moody or withdrawn – without mincing words, he's going bat shit. He thinks he's

being followed by two trenchcoat-sporting men; he suffers from flashbacks constantly. At the height of his depression and despair, he meets a zany female cab driver, Zoe (Fleury), who actually gets him to smile for a moment or two, but even she disappears on him after leaving him a warning. The performances here are stellar; they'll be Oscar nomination-worthy if enough eyeballs rest on this film. Cohen is riveting as the put-upon, suicide-attempting Abner; his heartbreak (particulary in the scene where his love interest (Hopkins) reveals she's falling for his brother) pours out of him without him not even saying a word. Fleury, as Zoe, is another star in the making. She's clearly capable of becoming the next Kristen Wiig, as she's beautiful, warm, and funny. It's also nice to see former “SCTV” and “Saturday Night Live” star

Tony Rosato in a great cameo as a diner owner (we think; that “fact” become ambiguous by the film's end). Yet, director Shirinian seems to be too smart for his own good. The film, overall, is so dark and forboding that it might depress some audiences. His constant use of flashbacks, both real ones and those imagined by Abner in the height of his anguish, are overdone to the point of becoming annoying. His depiction of Abner as, alternately, a coward, creep, crazy person, and milksop makes a character we are supposed to be sympathetic with almost unlikable at times; it's to Cohen's credit that he manages to underplay an over-written role. Yet, it's utterly true: Ask anyone who has ever fallen deeply in love if having it pulled out from under you won't drive you completely crazy; even this writer knows the soul-crushing disease called unrequited affection. Despite its flaws, It Was You Charlie remains a tiny gem that deserves its slow-building status. At its center, those around Charlie never really give up on him despite his lunacy, and that might be this movie's best message of all. (It Was You Charlie opens on VOD today (September 23), and opens on September 26 at Village East Cinema in New York City and other theaters.) – Bob Smith

COMEDY Carly Aquilino

Huntington Hijinks: It’s a weekend of lunacy as The Paramount's Comedy Series rolls on with the red-hot newcomer Carly Aquilino performing on September 26, and the legendary Steven Wright headlining on September 27. For tickets and information, log on to paramountny.com. Aquilino's bio is as funny as she is, and we certainly couldn't even come close to topping it: “Carly Aquilino is a stand-up comedian described by audience members as 'funny' and by her father as 'a huge mistake.' As a New York native, Carly first stepped on stage at Gotham Comedy Club, and has since been quickly rising in the comedy scene, performing at the most popular clubs in New York. Carly’s hobbies are telling jokes and checking Facebook to make sure the people that made fun of her in high school got fat. Carly feels proud of having her stand up featured on Sirius XM radio, and is especially proud that she once made her grandma Marilyn laugh so hard that her teeth fell out.” Academy Award winner Steven Wright is a prototype comedian that many others continually try to follow. One of four children, Wright was raised in Burlington, Massachusetts. Upon graduating from Emerson College and holding a bevy of odd jobs, Wright attended an open mic audition, and became a regular performer at Ding Ho’s Comedy Club & Chinese Restaurant (seriously) in nearly Cambridge. It was during this time that Wright got his big break, and was booked for his first “Tonight Show” appearance on August 6, 1982, which went over so well it became a back-to-back appearance. His stint helped put his fledgling career into high gear. The comic soon found himself performing his offbeat routines on “Saturday

Compiled & Defiled By Bob Smith, President, Nose Honking Society Of America Night Live,” “Late Night with David Letterman,” and numerous trips back to “The Tonight Show.” Wright expanded his comedy career to include comedy albums, film and television appearances. His 1985 debut album, “I Have A Pony,” earned him a Grammy nomination. In 1985, Steven starred in his first HBO special, cleverly entitled “A Steven Wright Special.” In 1989, Wright was honored with an Academy Award for Best Short Film for The Appointments of Dennis Jennings in which he starred and co-wrote. In September of 1990, Steven starred in his second stand-up special for HBO called “Wicker Chairs And Gravity.” The special included standup from The Winter Garden Theatre in Toronto and a short film shot on location in New York and New Jersey. Wright has been seen in films including “Desperately Seeking Susan,” Mike Meyers’ “So I Married An Axe Murderer,” Oliver Stone’s “Natural Born Killers,” and Nora Ephron’s “Mixed Nuts.” Steven was the voice of DJ K-Billyin “Reservoir Dogs” and starred with John Cleese and Jack Palance in New Line’s animated film, “The Swan Princess” as the voice of Speed, the turtle. Steve also appeared as a sitcom actor in MGM’s “Speechless” with Harry Shearer, and as a Mountie in the MGM release “Canadian Bacon. More recently, Wright was seen in a guest role on the FX series, “Louie” with Louie C.K. He is a regular guest with David Letterman, Conan O’Brien, Jimmy Kimmel, and Craig Ferguson, and continues touring.

Although it doesn’t receive nearly the public and media attention that The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame does (although that has changed considerably in recent years), The Songwriters Hall of Fame, located in a wing in the Grammy Museum in downtown Los Angeles, actually precedes its Rock Hall cousin by 17 years, as it has been honoring artists since 1969. The 45th induction ceremonies took place this spring at The Marriott Marquis in New York City’s Times Square. This year represents the 50th anniversary of the figurative “British Invasion” of the American pop charts led by The Beatles. Paul McCartney and John Lennon, and George Harrison have long

been enshrined in The Songwriters Hall of Fame. Following The Beatles across the Atlantic were The Rolling Stones, The Dave Clark Five, The Hollies, The

10 CC Animals, The Zombies, and The Kinks, among others. The Kinks were certainly cutting edge for a rock band as they complained about taxes in “Sunny Afternoon”; talked about the conservative ruling class in England in “Well Respected Man”; and were one of the first artists to sing about a transgendered individual, “Lola.” They could also write first-class rock hits in “You Really Got Me,” “All The Day And All Of The Night,” and “Till The End Of The Day.” Ray Davies, the Kinks’ chief composer and lead vocalist (although his brother Dave pitched in as well), was part of the Songwriters Hall’s 2014 class, but he could not attend because of the death of his sister. Jon Bon Jovi ably filled in as he Chubby performed a medley of clasChecker sic Kinks songs. Davies’ fellow Londoner, Graham Gouldman, was part of the popular 1970s group 10 CC, which had hits with his compositions “I’m Not In Love” and “The Things We Do For Love,” making him one of the few Jewish pop/rock stars to come from England. In the 1960s, Gouldman established himself as a go-to songwriter for up-and-coming British bands, as he wrote “No Milk Today” for Herman’s Hermits; “Heart Full Of Soul” and “For Your Love” for The Yardbirds; and for the Hollies, the delightful song about flirting with someone while waiting for mass transit to take you to work, “Bus Stop,” which he performed exquisitely before his acceptance speech. Completing the British triumvirate of inductees was Donovan Leitch, who has often been compared to Bob Dylan primarily because his first hit, “Catch The Wind,” featured breathy nasal

vocals, and simple guitar strumming. Subsequent hits “Sunshine Superman,” “Wear Your Love Like Heaven,” “Atlantis,” ‘Jennifer Juniper,” and “Season Of The Witch” helped him firmly establish his own identity. It’s fitting that two southern songwriters who are not known to the masses, Jim Weatherly and Mark James, were part of the same Songwriters Hall of Fame class. Weatherly, who was a star quarterback at Ole Miss in the early 1960s, wrote three of Gladys Knight & The Pips’ biggest hits, “Neither One Of Us Wants To Be The First To Say Goodbye,” “The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me,” and their signature song, “Midnight Train To Georgia.” James’s best known hit was Elvis Presley’s 1969 song about the anguish of marital infidelity, “Suspicious Minds.” Interestingly ,the tune was first performed by Mark James’s vocalist of choice, B.J. Thomas, who had hits with his “Eyes Of A New York Woman” and “Hooked On A Feeling,” which was later humorously recorded by Blue Swede. Another big James tune was “Always On My Mind,” which was initially recorded by Elvis but did not become a hit until Willie Nelson recorded it in 1982. The legendary Philadelphia songwriting/production team of Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff were honored with the Hall’s highest honor, The Johnny Mercer Award. Another famous Philadelphian, 72-year-old Chubby Checker, showed that he could still shake his hips and gyrate his knees as he performed “Let’s Twist Again,” which was one of the songs chosen to spotlight ASCAP’s 100th anniversary (ASCAP is the consortium that collects royalties for composers and publishers). Despite the passage of time, Checker’s baritone voice is as strong as ever, and he looks remarkably unchanged from his “American Bandstand” heyday. It was a nice gesture by The Songwriters Hall of Fame to give Checker the spotlight, since its governing body knows very well that The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has never even nominated him for enshrinement in Cleveland. That is a travesty.

ne of the most popular vocalists in country music history, Martina McBride, will make a return headlining appearance when she graces the stage at The NYCB Theatre at Westbury on Thursday, October 9 at 8 pm. Tickets are on sale now; log on to TheTheatreAtWestbury.com, or call (800) 745-3000. In December 2013, McBride headlined the NYCB Theatre and pretty much tore the roof off the famed venue in the round; it’s no small wonder that she’s been brought back less than a year later. McBride’s current “Everlasting” Tour has already seen the poweful country singer play sold-out shows across the country this year and will continue through the fall with 40 additional dates — seven of which have already sold out. Backed by an 11-piece band — including trumpet, tenor sax, baritone sax, and trombone as well as a trio of back-up singers — McBride’s live show brings the iconic sounds of the 1950s and 1960s from her Everlasting album alive. “We’ve worked hard to put together a show that is visually entertaining as well as very rich musically,” said McBride. “There’s so much for the audience to see and experience.” The four-time CMA Female Vocalist of the Year puts her own spin on some of her favorite R&B and soul classics, including The Supremes’

n early September, Taylor Swift – who, as we wrote these words, was firmly established as the biggest pop star in the world, freeing herself from the shackles of being dubbed only a “country singer” – set a new record at Mediabase for "Most Top 40 and Hot AC Stations To Add The Song In First Week" with her latest single "Shake It Off” being added by 277 stations. It's the highest Billboard Top 40 chart debut since 1993, as it ties with Mariah Carey's #12 single "Dreamlover" from that year, and Taylor's first back-to back song to top Billboard's Hot 100 chart. "Shake It Off" is also the highest charting debut ever recorded at the Mediabase Hot AC format, coming in at #10. It is the largest one week spin gain ever recorded on Mediabase's Top 40 and the Hot AC charts. Penned by Swift, Max Martin, and Shellback, the song serves as the lead-off single from her forthcoming album, 1989 on Big Machine Records, which will be available in stores and via digital retailers on October 27; pre-buys are now available at TaylorSwift.com, iTunes, and Target. Achieving stunning success, "Shake It Off" received 176 adds at Top 40 and 101 adds at Hot AC, the most adds in a single week in the history of Mediabase's Addboard. This milestone is another landmark for the seven-time Grammy Award-winning multi-platinum superstar, and it

You Too Long,” but also performs fan favorites such as “A Broken Wing,” “Love’s The Only House,” “This One’s For The Girls,” “Independence Day,” and “In My Daughter’s Eyes.” “I feel like this show really takes the audience on a musical journey,” said McBride. “The songs from Everlasting and my hits blend seamlessly together throughout the night.” Seven dates on the fall leg have already sold out, including Meridian, Mississippi; Forrest City,

Arkansas; Lake Charles, Louisiana; two dates in Nashville; Midland, Texas; and Dayton, Ohio. This spring, McBride made history when she became the first solo female artist to debut at #1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart with an independently released and distributed album in the chart’s 50-year history. Everlasting is Martina’s fifth #1 on the Top Country Albums chart. She has sold more than 18 million albums — which have included 20 Top 10 singles and six #1s — and has earned more than 15 major music awards, including four wins for “Female Vocalist of the Year” from the Country Music Association, and three wins for “Top Female Vocalist” from the Academy of Country Music. On October 7, McBride will release her first book, Around The Table, a full-color illustrated collection of Martina’s favorite recipes, entertaining tips, practical menu planning advice, and themed décor inspiration.

anticipated impending release, 1989.” Philippe Generale, the president/C.E.O. of RCS/Media Monitors/Mediabase couldn't help but be impressed: "The entire Mediabase team extends a sincere congratulations to everyone at Big Machine and Republic Records for the standout achievements made by Taylor Swift this week at Mediabase. As she clocks 176 adds at Top 40 this becomes the largest number of adds in a single seven-day period in the history of the Mediabase Add Board. Also, the largest spin gains

on the Top 40 and Hot AC published charts at +7787 and +2856, as well as the record-setting top 10 chart debut on Hot AC. It's an honor and a pleasure to report all of the exceptional accomplishments made by artists on the Mediabase charts – the most-recent belonging to Taylor Swift." The “Shake It Off” music video also accrued an impressive 68 million views and counting on Vevo after premiering early in September; look for more excitement about her new tour.

New York and Irish music have a long and storied history together, a collision of two cultures that results in bedlam, beauty, and a lot in between. Shilelagh Law embodies all that is New York Irish music: old songs, new songs, jigs, reels, dancing, weeping, lots of laughter, plenty of drinks, and the inevitable visit to the local diner at 5 am. Indeed, this unique act describes itself as “New York's thirstiest Irish band.”

Decadia K.J. Farrell's, Bellmore September 26 at 10 PM kjfarrells.com (516) 804-9925

Decadia covers all the bases, from hard rock to pop to New Wave to MTV hits to dance favorites to ... geez, they play everything. One of Long Island's busiest cover bands, The LPs, gets the music started for the evening at 7 pm.

The band is on tour in support of its newest album, the May release No Guts, No Glory on their longtime label home, the iconic indie imprint Sugar Hill Records. The album finds moe. at their most inventive and resilient. The album’s 11 songs (14 on the deluxe CD, digital, and double vinyl editions, featurinf artwork by Emek) took a winding path into existence. “These songs were written with an acoustic album in mind,” said guitarist and vocalist Chuck Garvey. When that original intention fell victim to logistical hurdles, Garvey said, “we ended up making a whole

After all the initial setbacks, once we got down to it, everything just seemed to take shape, and it came out great. I doubt that it would come out that way without Dave on board.” “Basically,” concluded bassist Rob Derhak, “everything we started out to do turned into completely something else. An album that was supposed to be an acoustic style album recorded in a barn turned into a hard rock album recorded in Connecticut with a hip hop producer. Go figure. Typical moe.”

Regardless of where our separate paths have taken us, we recognize there is a powerful and unique energy with this particular group of people we have not found anywhere else. This is why Limp Bizkit is back.” As fans wait for the October 6 date that sure to be full of Durst and company's usual anarctic bombast, the video for their new song, “Endless Slaughter,” can be seen at YouTube and all over the web.

In 1998, Limp Bizkit released their debut album, Three Dollar Bill Y’All, which led them to become one of the most hyped bands in the rap-metal (or nu-metal, or whatever

The band’s music video for their hit single, “Nookie,” catapulted them into the homes of millions worldwide. Significant Other sold more than four million copies by that year’s end. Since, Limp Bizkit continues to create new music; they released their fifth studio album, Gold Cobra, in the summer of 2011, as well as other, now-classic releases: Chocolate Starfish & The Hot Dog Flavored Water, Gold Cobra, and a Greatest Hits collection that remains on many charts to this day.

musicals styles ranging from jazz to pop; recently, she's graduated to several of New York City's best venues. This song is going a long way in adding to her list of accomplisments; it's a light, airy, and sexy love song; it moves along with a pleasing, lightly rocking pace. Rose's understated vocal is perfect for the song, which sounds exactly like the moment that you realize that you're infatuated with the person you've been seeing. All in all, given the solid groove and the great instrumental performances as well, this single is a tasteful triumph.

The Lisa Polizzi Band Talent, Kismet, & Real Rock & Roll

Who: The Lisa Polizzi Band has been one of the busiest Long Island-based music acts during the past two years, peforming a mix of covers and rocking originals all over the region. The Artists & Their Sound: Their official bio: “Since the age of 14, Lisa has been winning contests, playing festivals, and singing in local clubs and restaurants. Lisa won the Sayville talent show two years in a row, and has since performed at the Summerfest every year. Lisa was also poised to be a contestant on 'Star Search' just prior to the show's cancellation. “In 2010, Lisa had a prominent spot in Mickey B's Disco Show, opening the evening and having the honor of sharing the stage with The Trammps on 'Disco Inferno'; Lisa and France Joli were dressing room mates for the show. Lisa was a contestant on 'Lucky Break' at Yonkers Raceway; won 'The Tikki Factor' singing competition at The Tikki Bar in Patchogue; and was a winner in The Patchogue Theatre's 'Pizzazz' talent show. “Since 2010, Lisa fronted several local bands to the adoration of every crowd that heard her. During this time, Lisa has performed with such talents as France Joli,The Trammps, Jules Radino, Bobby Rondinelli, Prentiss McNeil, Richie Cannata, and Randy Jackson, to name a few. In 2013, Lisa recorded originals written by Earl Kayoss, and an original song by Dan Welsch; these songs are now available through several multimedia outlets. In 2013, Lisa decided to form her own group, The Lisa Polizzi Band. This year, she made some vital personal changes to her band. She met 'The Mighty Vic' at “The X-Factor” auditions at Nassau Coliseum during 2013.” “We were at a singing competition together and I didn’t even get to hear Lisa sing!” said Mighty Vic. “It wasn’t until months later when I saw a video clip of her singing that I immediately called her up and asked her to be the singer as band I was forming at the time. Very sweetly, Lisa told me she was working with her band and that she wanted to devote her

attention to that. A couple of more months go by and I found myself at an audition for another band at Steve Interante’s Nutty Irishman Jam in Bay Shore. Lisa happened to be there as well. I realized that this was the first time that Lisa ever heard me play bass! I had the pleasure of backing Lisa on bass that night as well. A short while later, Lisa had a benefit concert that she needed a bassist for and she called me. We did the benefit and rocked the place. I noticed how the crowd really got into her and genuinely liked her. It was then that we decided we would start working together.” “The Mighty Vic brought Rick Ventura in to play guitar. Ventura, of Riot fame, has earned his place as a guitar hero. He toured the world with Riot and continues to be a major presence on the scene. Claudio Galinski (drums) is originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and has opened for national acts in Buenos Aires with Ultraje in the 80s, and moved to New York Ciy in the 90s. As formidable presence on the drums, Claudio is proud and excited to play and endorse Istanbul Mehmeet Cymbals. “When the power quartet showcased together for the first time at 89 North in Patchogue, The Lisa Polizzi Band was reborn. Now, with a smoking band behind her, Lisa is now ready to show the world what she can do!” To Learn More About The Artists: Find The Lisa Polizzi Band at Facebook, Twitter, Reverb Nation, and YouTube. Upcoming shows include September 26 at Red River in Yaphank, September 27 at Carmody's in Rocky Point, and October 4 at The Diamond Club in Ronkonkoma.

News & Views From Richard The World Of Sound: Fortus Farmingdale's D’Addario – the worldwide manufacturer of guitar strings and musical accessores – recently added Richard Fortus to its artist roster. The lead guitarist of Guns N' Roses and The Dead Daisies is known for blending his depth of musical experience with his enthusiasm for performing. According to the company, a variety of D’Addario string sets help Fortus develop his sound, including D’Addario NYXL Light Top/Heavy Bottom electric guitar strings, Phosphor Bronze Custom Light acoustic guitar strings, and Planet Waves American Stage instrument cables. “Only D'Addario can singlehandedly cover all of my string needs,” said Fortus. “The NYXL's are the best electric strings I have come across. They not only hold up to all of my onstage brutality, but they sound better than any other string. They are louder and more articulate and sit in the perfect frequency range for me.” Fortis has also been an in-demand guitarist for artists such as Enrique Iglesias, Rihanna, Thin Lizzy, and Nena … Long a favorite of audiophiles and home stereo buffs, the Technics

brand is returning, according to parent company Panasonic. The first new Technics hi-fi products in six years will debut in Europe in December expanding to other regions across the globe, including the U.S. market, in 2015. The new products are based on a concept called the “Technics Definitive Sound,” which builds upon decades of audio technology development and knowhow; as in years past, the brand will feature high quality audio components … Hal Leonard Books will release a softcover edition of 108 Rock Star Guitars by photographer/author Lisa S.

Massapequa's Brian Setzer hailed the tome as “the classiest guitar book I have ever seen.” Eric Clapton, Bruce Springsteen, Jimmy Page, Keith Richards, Jeff Beck, Nancy Wilson, Bonnie Raitt, Slash, Carlos Santana, Jack White, Ronnie Wood, Lou Reed, Ace Frehley, Billy Gibbons, Don Felder, Joe Walsh, Robby Krieger, Willie Nelson, Johnny Winter, and Les Paul, who also wrote the foreword, are among

The Marshall Tucker Band

Tucker's Blast From The Past: The Marshall Tucker Band – which co-headlined the massive “Westbury Rocks” show at NYCB Theatre at Westbury last week – will soon release live recordings from its historic 1977 Englishtown, New Jersey concert that drew more than 150,000 fans. Live From Englishtown will hit stores on October 14 via the band's Ramblin' Records label. "The 1977 Englishtown concert was one of the largest shows in the history of The Marshall Tucker Band,” said MTB lead singer and founding member Doug Gray. “This album was made from a copy of the original 37-year-old recording, and although the audio quality is not perfect, we wanted to make it commercially available to our fans. Our best efforts were used to make this live concert sound as good as we possibly could with the source we had on hand. This concert is a historic event, attended by tens of thousands of fans. These recordings will give fans and those who attended a chance to relive that special day by hearing the original Hot Tuna MTB lineup in its prime." The 70-minute concert originally recorded on September 3, 1977 features the original band performing their biggest hits, including "Can't You See," "Heard It In A Love Song," "Fire On The Mountain," "24 Hours At A Time," and "Searchin' For A Rainbow," among others. "Looking back, this concert was just unbelievable,” Gray added. “It was one of the most moving experiences in the history of The Marshall Tucker Band." For more information on The Marshall Tucker Band, visit marshalltucker.com or the group's official Facebook Page. Old Tuna’s Still Tasty: Hot Tuna will return to New York City

for “Jack Casady’s 70th Birthday Bash” at The Beacon Theatre on December 13. Joining Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady this year will be guest Marty Balin, a fellow Jefferson Airplane founding member. Also on tap are multi-instrumentalists Barry Mitterhoff and Larry Campbell, vocalist Teresa Williams, and drummer Justin Guip. Additional special guests will be announced in the coming weeks. The Beacon Theatre concerts have become an annual holiday tradition – a spontaneous, innovative, rock & roll show not to be missed. “I can’t remember having so much fun,” said Casady, “but also musically being so in touch and in the moment with the music as I am now; where every minute, every note counts on stage. And I find it really unique that I have a situation with a partner over 50 years now where we can just really enjoy the craft of making music together.” As a founding member of Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna, Casady’s tone and bass work has defined the role of bass in rock for

decades. Casady’s pioneering approach has brought the instrument to the forefront, liberating the bass from its traditional role as part of the rhythm section; Casady has played with a veritable who’s who of rock.

LI Author’s Rock Tome: It seems as if the days of flipping through vast vinyl, cassette, or CD collections is a thing of the past. While there's no denying the convenience of having all your favorite albums on a mobile device, it's becoming more common for recordings to get lost in the shuffle or completely forgotten about. Author and journalist Greg Prato is willing to provide some assistance, with his 12th book overall, Overlooked/ Underappreciated: 354 Recordings That Demand Your Attention. Prato takes a serious look at albums fans may have completely forgotten about, or perhaps have never even heard of before. Either way, all 354 of these titles get the "Prato Stamp of Approval." Starting with AC/DC's Flick Of The Switch and wrapping up with Zombi's Surface To Air, virtually every style of pop music is represented: rock, hard rock, heavy metal, alternative, new wave, punk, hardcore, grunge, jazz, fusion, psychedelic, prog, folk, blues, funk, soul, rap, spoken word, power pop, big band, glam, experimental, instrumental, soundtracks – the list goes on and on, but the selections stay strong. Prato is a Long Island-based journalist whose writing has appeared in Rolling Stone, among other outlets. This book is now available in paperback and digital versions. Playboy's New Media Move: Playboy Enterprises, Inc. has unveiled a completely reimagined design and content offering for its flagship website, Playboy.com. Built on a foundation optimized for its growing mobile audience, the new Playboy.com features new content on topics including Entertainment, Nightlife, Style, Humor, Sex & Culture, as well as a mansion-sized wealth of – imagine

this – non-nude features on the women that have made Playboy such a global icon for more than 60 years. "The launch of the new Playboy.com is a key component in our plan to rebuild Playboy's integrated media platform in a way that articulates our global brand, provides innovative opportunities for advertisers, supports our global licensees, and continues to fuel our growing digital audience," said Playboy Enterprises CEO Scott Flanders. The company has completely reconceived and retooled the site in line with its reinvigorated brand, bringing in a new dedicated Playboy.com editorial staff focused on featuring organic new content that is separate from Playboy magazine. “We are one of the most iconic brands on the planet and are excited to bring that essence to life online," said Cory Jones, SVP of digital content, as well as the site's editor. "From interactive features, shareable lists, viral videos, and long-form essays from award-winning writers, Playboy.com will be a digital experience that our audience will love."

Playboy's growing social media presence is formidable; the brand has more than 21 millon fans on its Facebook pages, reaching a monthly audience of over 60 million, and nearly 1.4 million followers on Instagram, making Playboy the platform's number five most popular media company. The company now boasts nearly 900,000 followers on Twitter, and has more than one million subscribers on its YouTube channel. Learn more at Playboy.com. Playboy Magazine seems to be hanging in there quite well, despite a sagging overall print market; the September issue made headlines for featuring Canadian model Stephanie Branton on its cover.

Robert Plant

is quite content to do just that, and he's obviously successful enough as well. The other Zep members don't seem to have their solo things quite as together, so they're not very pleased with him. As we've seen, reunions don't always work very well; witness the attempts to put The Supremes back together (the push and shove moment at "Motown 25" between Diana Ross and Mary Wilson, which was edited from the tape before the show was first broadcast in the early 80s, was widely reported in the press). The second attempt, in 2000, turned into another seeming Ross/Wilson hair-pulling epic. Has the Van Halen thing ever worked? Every time that Eddie Van Halen and David Lee Roth try it, things turn toxic very quickly. The Beach Boys' attempts? Not pretty. Last year's reunion of Justin Timberlake and the other N Sync'ers for a TV show started hurting the moment they were all on stage together. Beyoncé getting back with the other Destiny's Child women? Obviously forced and false, and usually extremely short. Leave Robert Plant alone; he has a new album out, Lullaby And … The Ceaseless Roar. He did a few “get back together” things

with Page and company in the past, and now he's had enough. So be it. RIP Rath: Not enough has been said about the recent passing of New York City punk era star Billy Rath, who the bass player for Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers, featured on the greatest album to come out of the first wave of punk, L.A.M.F. The disc was only released in the U.K. on the historic Track Records label, home of Jimi Hendrix and The Who. With Rath's death, the only living New York Heartbreaker is guitarist Walter Lure, who still plays gigs with his post 'Breakers band, The Waldos. The other two former 'Breakers were also original ex-New York Dolls: Johnny Thunders and Jerry Nolan. For those who have never experienced the raw energy of the L.A.M.F. album: Find it online and play it very loud! Still A Wonder: The year of the Motown resurgence continues. Motown: The Musical reigns supreme on Broadway; Diana Ross has conducted a year-long, sold-out whirlwind tour (still in progress); Smokey Robinson has been sitting in the Top 10 on the album chart with his duets Smokey & Friends CD; and now Stevie Wonder announces an autumn tour in which he will perform his milestone 70s album, Songs In The Key Of Life, in a coast-to-coast event that will include a stop at Madison Square Garden. It is a banner year for Motown fans, of which I am one, and the Stevie tour feels like the cherry on top of the whipped cream. I can't wait for this show to hit our area. Enjoy...

This game would be the most enjoyable for adults and for children ages 12 and up. It is best played in teams, but even two players can have fun testing their knowledge. There are all ranges of questions, so even those who think they "know it all" about the LGBTQ community will undoubtedly sometimes find themselves stumped.” The game was created by Tracy Baim, the publisher of Windy City Times.

SiriusXM has announced that Jenny McCarthy's “Dirty, Sexy, Funny With Jenny McCarthy” is now a daily live morning radio show; the launch comes after McCarthy’s limited run weekly show aired on SiriusXM Stars this summer.

McCarthy’s SiriusXM show will launch this fall and will air Monday through Friday at 10 am. McCarthy, who first gained fame as a Playboy Playmate of the Year, couldn't help but be a bit cheeky when announcing the new show. “I’m thrilled to call SiriusXM my new home, where I have the freedom to be myself and give our audience the best of me with no constraints or restrictions,” said McCarthy. “And the fact that it is completely clothing-optional is just icing on the cake for me. I really am looking forward to this great nude, I mean new, adventure.” “Dirty, Sexy, Funny With Jenny McCarthy” is a daily live talk show during which McCarthy will talk about everything under the sun, and be joined by special guests.

"I'm curating a festival of directors that have given their lead women a strong voice,” said McGowan, known for her work in TV and features film for everything from “Charmed” to Grindhouse. “These stories could have been told with men in the title characters, but these directors showed us what happens when you break stereotypes. They have inspired me as a woman, as a director, and as a person."
