Ringo Starr: You know, life goes on
Sir Ringo Starr had no plans to slow down before the coronavirus pandemic intervened. His youthful appearance and fizzing energy bely his 80 years – and had it not been for Covid-19, the man born Richard Starkey in a working-class area of Liverpool would have been on the road in 2020.
But it turns out even a former Beatle cannot escape the consequences of a global health crisis. As it stands, Sir Ringo’s All Starr Band is set to return to the stage in June, though he admits the plans are far from set in stone due to the continued disruption caused by the virus.

Brooklyn-based DJ Logic, who masterfully combines jazz and hip-hop, has performed all over the valley for more than the past decade. He performed at Club 8150’s closing party in 2007; he’s performed at Dobson Ice Arena on New Year’s Eve with String Cheese Incident and Thievery Corporation; he’s played with John Popper at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater; and he’s entertained at the Burton US Open, GoPro Mountain Games and WinterWonderGrass, among other local performances.

The advent of streaming music services has been a godsend for anyone whose appetite for music exceeds the contents of their wallet. No longer are those obscure 12” Throbbing Gristle LPs doomed to spend their life in the dehumidified basement of Paul Morley. Instead, the likes of Spotify and Tidal act as a sort of benevolent cultural democratiser, dredging entire back catalogues to the surface and granting instant muso status to anyone with a spare tenner a month. But whilst the likes of
Stereogum chew over the classics again and again, there’s whole swathes of digital flotsam that go largely ignored. These are the barnacles caught in the net, records that made their peace with the sea-bed long ago but now squirm uncomfortably in the glare of our retina-display screens.
2021 New Music Releases
The early slate of 2021 new music releases is unusually full, after several albums were pushed back in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. At the same time, being off the road apparently gave others space to complete studio recordings.
Alice Cooper found inspiration in his hometown – but that doesn t mean he slipped into easy nostalgia. He says
Detroit Stories will have a lot of different flavors, admitting that he liked breaking out of the mode where an Alice Cooper album sounds like an Alice Cooper album.
Former Van Halen bassist Wolfgang Van Halen will also release his new band Mammoth WVH s debut album early in the year. He s already issued the first solo single, Distance, which honored his late father Eddie Van Halen, and announced his first show.
