It was on this Day in 1981 that the most import new released of all new released was made as of Warner-Amex Satellite Entertainment Company, a joint venture of Warner Communications and American Express(yes the Creidt card company)launch a brand new Cable channel that play nothing but music video in high stereo sound it was called MTV, and it was a good idea at the time and now everbody who follow music are switching to you tube, because they dont want to follow what are going on Real World: Key West that what there showing in prime time tonight insted of marking the milestone which they did on this day 2001 when MTV turn 20 which is one hell of a part gig and part reunion, and part pop-culture spectacle.

Which can tell the spectacle in 1994 when Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley made there infamous on air kiss at the MTV Video Music Awards a month after they announced on this day they got married three month ago in in a private ceremony in the Dominican Republic.

But hey this week in pop culture history is not full with MTV history on this day in 1971 "The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour" is launched on CBS-TV with a short summer run followed by three seasons of "The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour".

but on this day Jerome John Garcia was born on this day in 1942, but he would be later know to the world as Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead who died on on August 9, 1995 as it was cover by Futher MSNBC News host Alison Stewart who was working at the time at MTV NEWS.

It Came From the Late Night Music Club From Culture City

Tonight entry in the club it a normal entry.

Today after three week bidding Fair well to the BBC Show "Top of the Pops"

I Play a Normal video

And Tonight entry is a new video from "The Raconteurs" and there new video "Hands", If the first video "Stead as she Goes"was a showcase for Jack White Girtar works Then "Hands" is a showcase Bearden Benson Songwriting.

The Video start with Jack and the Boys Breaking out of Jail and changing cloest and having a magic do a little tricks they find a hide out, It a "Whartom School For The Deaf Girls", yes it dear school for girls and they entertain the girls and set up the gig, Jack and the boys of the "The Raconteurs" will in town for a show this sunday at the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor this Saturday but the show is long Sold Out.

But you can be entertain by this charming video

After the Worst slow week ever on this blog sight i am beging fresh on this blog sight but i will only doing three day this post, 8-1 post, and a short 8-4 post i do have the usual wednesday off and also this thursday off as well, It my Birthday this week so i will rest on thursday and wont do a blog.

was a uneventful weekend as always and it going to be a unevent week with temp up in the 90's with heat index up to 104° so i hoped you have somer good AC or a very well cool Basement room where i am doing my blog from.

The only good thing i forgot to do this weekend is to see Ghost City at the Belmont so i miss my chance to see Tait from E6 and his band but i thought i miss seeing Jasper who write his own web blog call WebVomit.org it a small indie rock blog base out of detorit as well.

The first time i have hear of WebVomit.org well in the first weeks of this blog sight a very nice girl name Stephanie for her Craft blog http://councilc.blogspot.com/ who say You're turning into the new motorcityrocks!(That is a live and local Music Blog) and Jasper shot her back by saying No he's not.

So i found his blog and his also cover local music from inside and out side the 313 and it a very good web sight because he cover all the same music i like as well, so I got to the belmont at about 1:10 PM or 1:15 PM and after i said hello to the Magicial bass player Lenna Metro and her BoyFriend (yes guys she have a boyfriend) so i saw stephen palmer and he interduce me to Jasper and after talking to him he is a very nice guy who is so passion about his music as me, we talk about the scene, who the best new bands in the post jack White era and the Muse show(which he told me was awsome live), and other thing he a very nice kid i hoped i bump into him more othen as he go to show and report on his blog sight

Jasper(who by the way is not his real name, but at his request told me not to used his real name, so i wont)told his is going to Lollapalooza in Chicago this week so i hope his will give a report from the scene this weekend.

And also tell you that the big problem when doing any blog sight if your at a gig or a event is if you can find some with a internet Connection, or i have been ask the question can you take your wireless laptop to you well that pose a risk as well becaues you do mot want to lose it or worse off get it ripped off, so us blogger have a visual memory of what happend a the gig of the Event or i used the old tool of reporter every where the Notebook which is very helpful and with tool like Camera and video editing you can upload report to youtube or google video, so it may take hours or weeks to do a report, but you read about it somewhat.

Now this week big show in all of the Tri-Country area is The Raconteurs first ever Show in the S.E. Michigan Area Since Jack White from the Group with Brendan Benson
and Jack Lawrence and Patrick Keeler of The Greenhornes and also playing the Keyboard on tour is Dean Fertita of The Waxwings, This will also be the first gig for Jack White since leaving Detorit for Nashville, TN (Which is now where he live now)and it was kind of a suprized when the band pick a Ann Arbor veneu for for there first ever gig insted a venue in Detroit.

Because it you been reading the detroit press Jack relationshipo with the whole detroit did not end well, hi-lighted by the suceess the Jack Other band the White Stripes and all the bad vibe from the many books about the rise fo the stripes incling "Fell in love with the band" by former Metro Times Music Writer and Radio Fever Chirs Handside,The Fight in the 313 with Von Bondies Front Man Jason Stollsteimer and The Recenly Royalty trial with Producer Jim Diamond(Which he recenly won back in June).

But his past problum did not matter because the show sold Out in recored time in less then two weeks, Now this old scholl guy would like to go the Show, but the gig in Ann Arbor, It look like all the good shows have been in Ann Arbor this year with bands like The Raconteurs, Tilly and the wall, Mates of State.

But so many people goes to gig in a college town anyway, so if you going to The Raconteurs show or any cool show in Ann Arbor for the First time Here Some driving Direction if you are going to ann arbor, Using
google Maps i type in the address Jack White last play in the SE Michigan area(Oct.2,2005) The Adress of the Masonic Temple Theatre at 500 Temple St just Northwest of Downtown Detroit,and typed the address of the Michigan Theater at 603 E Liberty St in Downtown Ann Arbor.

Now i know there will be big talk because there two freeways that goes from Downtown Detroit to Ann Arbor(I-94 and I-96) so google Maps gave reslult to Ann Arbor by using I-96 so i will used that.

(Note From Google: These directions are for planning purposes only. You may find that construction projects, traffic, or other events may cause road conditions to differ from the map results.)

the Jorney begin by going a 1/4 of a mile from west from Temple St
Then the trip take a short right to The Lodge Freeway (193 ft)
and Take the M-10 North ramp(1.2 mi)to
the I-94 West ramp to Chicago -(1.3 mi)
Then go for a short distance(0.1 mi)to the I-96 exit 213B to Bridge to Canada/Lansing
And then the long fun begin as you Take the I-96 West ramp to Lansing now that go for 18 miles so you will have alot of time to kill during that time like listen to The last White stripes CD "Get Behind Me Satan" or The Raconteurs CD "Broken Boys Soliders", but dont worried you will not find any wrong turn so you meet up with a dead end town with a wax museum i hoped they dont have a wax sculptures of Paige Edwards now that would be scary(this is a memtion of the 2005 remake the horried movie "House of Wax" which star the doing nothing Paris Hilton who played Paige Edwards).
now after the long drive from on 96 then you take M-14 West toward Ann Arbor/Toledo that will take you andeor 15 miles and in that time if you have a proable dvd play you can see a brun DVD copy of Mihcigan/Seaton Hall game that michigan won on Free Throws in 1989.
Once you pass the Domino Pizza HQ your almost there to Ann Arbor now the trip take you to the end.
Now you in Ann Arbor Continue on US-23 North for 2 miles
Then Take 1/2 miles to the M-14 exit 45 to Ann Arbor
Then Merge into M-14 West/US-23-BR South Which last a mile
Then a Short Drive (1/4 of a mile)from US-23-BR exit 3 to Downtown Ann Arbor
once there Go right for a Mile at N. Main St
Continue on S Main St and Turn left at E Liberty St
And you have arried at the Michigan Theater at 603 E Liberty St in Downtown Ann Arbor

Now i know this is the Route from I-96, But there are some other routes to ann arbor like using 94, if you know other route for Detroit to Ann Arbor please E-mail me at Culturecitynewstips@yahoo.com, and if you are going to the show pleased leave your reviews so i will posted on the blog sight.

And One More Note on The Raconteurs Were about a month to The 2006 MTV Video Music Awards on Aug. 31 and the Band Music will be will provide the show's "soundtrack" During the show, and speaking about the video music show on a channel that dont show music video anymore they gave out the nominateds for that show and after the belly flop of two years in a row in Miami, there back in New york City at Radio City Music Hall to see who got the non and the full list of the nominations after the local News bits.

gig News now and if Dave Chappelle willk get a good house for his 7:30 show hey why not book a 10:30 for the same night, Olympia Entertainment announced today that a second show has been added at 10:30 p.m. to see comedian Dave Chappelle at Detroit's Fox Theatre on Friday, August 18.

Tickets for the 10:30 PM show Friday, August 4 and ticket will be the same rpice as the 7:30 Show ($43, $53 and $63).

but if you like to rock we have some good news, a few weeks back it was announced the Norwgin band Serena Maneesh who will begin a US Fall tour on September 8th in NYC at Bowery Ballroom, and yes they will played Detroit, we know the date September 14th but we did not know where there playing, Now we do a posting on the magic stick web sight say there playing the stick on September 14th at the stick. cover on that day will be $8 and Film School will opend for them.

BBC Tops Of The Pops History

The Story from the BBC

With Video to Follow
=================================================

Top of the Pops bids fond goodbye

Sir Jimmy Savile opened the show as he did in 1964
Fans have bid farewell to iconic TV music show Top of the Pops which was being broadcast for the last time in its 42-year history.
The one-hour finale was a look-back over the show's four decades featuring memorable archive clips.

Many of the show's former presenters had returned - including Sir Jimmy Savile, Dave Lee Travis and Mike Read.

The BBC decided to axe the show as it could no longer compete with digital 24-hour music channels.

Sir Jimmy opened the show just as he did in 1964, but this time wearing a shiny gold tracksuit.

He was surrounded by his fellow presenters who included Janice Long, Reggie Yates, Edith Bowman, Pat Sharp, Sarah Cawood, Rufus Hound, Mike Read and Tony Blackburn.

"Forty-two years ago I said welcome on the very first Top of the Pops... but it belongs to the world now, they are going to carry the Top of the Pops banner," said Sir Jimmy.

Girl power

The first classic performance came from the Rolling Stones. The black and white clip featured the band singing their hit The Last Time from 1965.

The band were also the first to open the inaugural programme, but then the track was I Wanna Be Your Man. Sir Jimmy told the audience the BBC had lost the tape of the recording.


Audience members got into the spirit of things for the last show

The next classic moment featured the Spice Girls' Top of the Pops debut in 1996 singing Wannabe, taking the audience back to the heady days of girl power and when Geri Halliwell and Victoria Beckham looked very different.

Also much-changed was a very young and colourfully-dressed Michael Jackson who sang Rockin' Robin along with his brothers in a clip from 1972.

Robbie Williams in the early days of his post-Take That career followed with Let Me Entertain from 1998.

Pat Sharp described Williams as "testosterone on legs" and presenter Edith Bowerman told the audience Williams had appeared on the Top of the Pops more than 100 times.

Other artists featured included David Bowie singing Starman from 1972, Madonna in a shocking pink wig performing Like A Virgin, Wham from 1984 with Wake Me Up Before You Go Go and the more recent Gnarls Barkley with last year's Crazy.

Party mood

Almost 200 people were in the audience for show, which was recorded earlier in the week, to make history as part of the last crowd to take part in Top of the Pops.

Their mood was exuberant despite the sadness of the occasion as they cheered and clapped as each of the classic moments came and went.

"Don't the audience look fantastic and so do we," said Tony Blackburn, referring to the way many of the audience had dressed as their favourite pop stars for the occasion.

The presenters on stage also got into the party mood, cracking jokes at each others' expense just like good mates, again harking back to when Top of the Pops was in its heyday and the presenters - all Radio 1 DJs - seemed to revel in hosting the show every week.

Abba featured in a montage summing up the best of the 1970s

The studio was decorated for the event with many nostalgic elements from the programme's past such as a huge glitter ball and dry ice filled the studio and many of the Top of the Pops logos from across the decades had been brought back.

As well as the individual archive band footage, the show featured montage films capturing the best of the pop decades from the 1960s onwards.

Perhaps the best of these compilations came from the 1970s, the era of the outrageous and flamboyant glam rock and the time when Top of the Pops is considered to have been at the height of its powers.

"In the 70s Top of the Pops glittered," said Pat Sharp. "The show was in colour and the clothes were even more colourful, in fact Top of the Pops became a national institution."

The likes of Slade, Marc Bolan, Abba, Queen, Rod Stewart and The Three Degrees flashed across the scene all sporting the compulsory long hiar and in John's case his trademark oversized glasses.

The music ended with a video of Shakira performing this week's number one song Don't Stop Me Now.

"It's been an amazing show with some amazing performances," said Dave Lee Travis as the show drew to its conclusion.

But the final word went to Sir Jimmy who signed off with the once traditional "Don't forget it's number one, it's still Top of the Pops," as the audience gave one last and final cheer.
