Hi. Welcome to my website! Honestly, I do not try to share this website with anyone, but I don’t try and hide it either. It’s more a less a place that I use to vent personal grievances or just sort out my thoughts on subjects that interest me – like any other blog.
I started the website on an outdated notion (spurring from the dot com boom) that we had to protect our names. I watched people snatch up hundreds of the best domain names, and yet I didn’t capitalize on it. Maybe if I’m lucky, some other Greg Percifield in the world will become rich and famous and they can then buy my domain for a hefty price.
If you’d like to know a bit more about me, here is an extended bio.
Album Review: The Wanted – “The Wanted”
You've seen it all before, America. From New Kids on the Block to N'SYNC to One Direction, The Wanted seem, in their short time in the American consciousness, to be aping a pretty familiar blueprint. The one thing that separates the golden-throated boy-band of...
John Lydon: Ari Up Didn’t Have to Die
When Ari Up, onetime lead singer of the influential punk band The Slits, lost her battle with breast cancer back in 2010, it was a sad day for music. If a recent series of interviews with her stepfather John Lydon (Johnny Rotten) are to be believed, it didn't have to...
Gaslight Anthem Tease New Album With “45”, Tour Dates
The Gaslight Anthem are back in a big way. The follow-up to 2010's criminally under-appreciated "American Slang" is due out this June, and the first dates of a worldwide tour in support of it have been announced. "Handwritten" will be out July 24th via Mercury...
Kris Allen vs. The Man
When you think of potential enemies to law and order, a few obvious musical names pop up: Marilyn Manson, Ozzy, maybe even Johnny Cash in his prime. California police, however, set the bar at an all-time high: the ever-congenial 2010 American Idol winner Kris Allen....
Album Review: The Dandy Warhols – This Machine
The Dandy Warhols are a curious case. Despite having only two hits, they seem to possess the same name-recognition factor that hugely popular, influential bands get. Sure, "We Used To Be Friends" is a decent song, but what else have they really done?...
Thom Yorke Unveils Atoms For Peace Material
Like all other hipster-fearing music journalists, we'd be remiss if we didn't tell you all about the tiniest of happenings in Radiohead-land. This story, however, may actually bear some fruit. Last night in Los Angeles, Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke and...
Grand Opening Coming Soon
Getting this storefront ready has been crazy. Just when I think I have every expense planned out, I remember the bathroom sign, the toilet cleaner, more slat wall racks and shelves, decals and labels, a speaker system, inventory software, lesson schedules... it...
Watch: Jack White’s Entire Webster Hall Concert
Don't ever say Jack White never gave you anything. After breezing his way through a blistering two-hour set at New York City's Webster Hall last night, Jack White and director Gary Oldman have made the entire show available online. Recorded as part of the Amex...
Top 5: Ridiculous Music Videos of the 80s
It's often said that there's a fine line between genius and stupidity. That notion was never more true than it was in the 1980s. We here at Music Forte spent a few too many hours scouring YouTube to bring you the most ridiculous music videos of that...
System of a Down Plot Summer Tour
System of a Down, the most popular Armenian-American metal band in history (go ahead, check), are hitting the road this summer for a co-headlining arena tour with The Deftones. Though the group went on an extended hiatus in 2006, they reformed for a few shows late...
Bob Dylan Awarded Presidential Medal of Freedom
Bob Dylan, America's most beloved folk-singer/troubadour, has been officially awarded the highest honor possible for a civilian, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. His name was among 13 inductees announced by President Barack Obama on Thursday, who cited his...
Jack White’s “Blunderbuss” to Debut at #1
If you happen to run across the Billboard 200 next week, you'll notice a semi-unlikely name all the way at the top. Jack White's excellent debut solo effort "Blunderbuss" will enter the chart at #1 next week, having sold an estimated 140,000 copies. To put that in...
Newly Unearthed Beatles Concert To See Theatrical Release
The Fab Four are on their way back to a theater near you. Though they broke up over 40 years ago, a recently unearthed concert recorded just two days after their historic first appearance on The Ed Sullivan show will be screened across the country as part of a...
Passion Pit Plot new Album, Festival Circuit Tour
The dance-pop geniuses that make up Passion Pit are finally releasing a followup to 2009's massively popular (and awesome) "Manners." The new album, dubbed "Gossamer" is due out July 24th. The Cambridge, Massachusetts band have already...
Beach Boys Officially Reunite With Brian Wilson For 50th Anniversary Tour, Album
The Beach Boys have a new album coming out in June and are just about to embark on a ridiculously ambitious world tour in celebration of their 50th anniversary. While that would normally be a bit of a yawn for anyone born after, say, 1956, this is the actual Beach...
Album Review: Torche “Harmonicraft”
Torche refer to themselves as "crushingly melodic hard-rock." That's arguable. An accurate moniker for the Miami rockers would be something more along the lines of "Not-Quite Foo Fighters, but not so bad rock." If that sounds harsh, it...
Sinead O’Connor Fights The Real Enemy, Cancels Tour Plans
Irish-born singer (and noted crazy person) Sinead O'Connor has cancelled the entirety of her upcoming tour. Calling herself "very unwell", she first took to Twitter to announce the cancellations, writing "Am going home and cancelling touring for the...
Journey Documentary Premieres at Tribeca Film Festival
So, now that a few years have passed since The Sopranos series finale, we're probably done caring about Journey for awhile, right? Not if the makers of a brand-new documentary have anything to say about it. "Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's...
