I just got back from yoga class and I see this headline at Gigwise which totally fucks up my chi…
Robert Plant ‘Falls Asleep’ When Asked About Led Zeppelin Reunion
What a fuckin’ douche! Well, that’s exactly what I did when I heard he was extending his tour with Allison Kraus. Yaaaaaawwwwwn! Certainly no offense to Allison [...]
How cool would this Faces reunion be?! Get it together, boys! God, I know Rod needs to rock out again after his highly-successful and super yawn-inducing Great American Songbook series.
Well, it looks from this story (and all the other recent talk) that Phish will be getting back together in the very near future. Trey, Mike, and Jon all played together at this past weekend’s Rothbury festival in Michigan and here’s the meat of the report from Billboard (if you don’t wanna read it all)…
“Mike and I [...]
Rolling Stone just spoke with Mike ‘Cactus’ Gordon (Gordon with a soft ‘G’, that is) and it’s looking like all the Phish reunion rumors are probably correct. Bring it on, boys!
Rolling Stone speaks with Mike Gordon
On having band dinners, optimism, and possibly recording with Steve Lillywhite…
“The band has had a couple of dinners and they’ve [...]
No, not the Afro-centric rap group that wanted to sue the show for using a term that was around long before their mediocre jams, but the excellent TV show that was canceled last year after 3 mind-blowing seasons. Get ready for Arrested Development: The Movie in 2009! Talk about high expectations… and what a fun, [...]
Whoa! Just read about this today, although I’ve had my mind set on going to see the Hold Steady at McCarren Park Pool for free. In New York, when it rains, it pours! Maybe that’s the plan…if it literally rains, then it’s off to the indoor Record Riot.
At Warsaw, 261 Driggs Ave. Greenpoint/Williamsburg

Here’s an interesting entry on Rolling Stone’s blog about some vinyl reissues, from Radiohead’s early albums to Pet Sounds. Seems the only rising trend in the industry is vinyl. But unfortunately it looks like the industry is jacking the cost of the records to help heal its wounds, rather than make the records affordable to [...]
…as The Eagles, Journey, and Garth Brooks, and is releasing their next album, due out in the fall, exclusively through evil empire and one of the biggest factors in our nation’s decline…WAL-MART! Doesn’t it just make you feel dirty? As much as I love AC/DC, I say boycott the album…or steal it!
Awful choice [...]
Wow! Dylan isn’t one to talk much about anything, much less politics…at least since the early-60s when he unwillingly became the ‘voice of his generation’…and completely sabotaged it by the mid-60s. Well, Dylan had a lot of good things to say about Democratic Presidential nominee, Barack Obama, when he spoke to the London [...]
Well, I’ve got some good news and bad news but still very news-worthy items that came to light today…
Let’s start with the bad. YES has cancelled their 40th Anniversary tour slated for this summer due to Jon Anderson’s respiratory issues which he was hospitalized for last month. Read the press release here. It’s good to [...]
OK, maybe not. But I had to post this link to Rolling Stone because a lot of us really like Phish, despite the rest of the music world’s opinions. Sod off, snooty buggers! I’d be happy to see them rock it again very soon!
Lookin’ good, Trey!
I’ve already told you about how great this band is and how excellent the album is… now Bryan Scary and the Shredding Tears’ Flight of the Knife album is the editor’s choice at iTunes and it’s going for a mere $5.99 this week only, so get it now, and support killer new music! Do yourself [...]
Stephen Malkmus is the big daddy here, and a lot of bands I haven’t heard yet. It’s always worth the bike ride down with Paul, regardless of the over-crowdedness!
Just wanted to give you some info about one of my favorite newer bands who knows how to bring it live, Howlin’ Rain. The Crowes and Howlin’ Rain sounds like an amazing ticket to me! Check ‘em out if you get a chance. Here’s the press release:
Greetings all,
Just a heads up that SF psych rockers [...]
So I’ve had one of my Best Band features published elsewhere on this here web which extends the whole world wide. The site is called Blog Critics and I’ll be regularly writing pieces for them, but for now I just have one lonely little unpopular piece about a band that the general public doesn’t [...]
So Saturday is Record Store Day and I guess the reason we’re starting to celebrate it is because of the death of the music industry as we know it. I gotta say I look back on the record store days as pretty sweet. Me and my sister used to go to the local [...]
Since I started posting Rock Trivia questions from the original 1984 Pressman Toy Corporations’s excellent rock & roll board-game, aptly-titled Rock Trivia, I have been in contact with the games creator Ian Liberman, who is a gentleman and a rocker. Well, Ian has an interest, and so do I, of updating the classic game [...]
