The song is currently available as a free digital download both below and via bobdylan.com, but [...]
All Points West returns with ’09 lineup
Call it what you want, but the All Points West Music Festival is here to stay, at least for one more year. After bursting on to the scene with a lineup featuring two nights of Radiohead, Jack Johnson, Trey Anastasio, and over 40 other acts, the three-day music festival will return to Jersey City’s Liberty [...]
Open Thread: All Points West ’09
We haven’t had one of these in a while, but then again we haven’t been hours away from the announcement of a lineup this big in some time. Here’s what we know: All Points West will announce its 2009 lineup tomorrow morning at 7:00 a.m. EST. At this point, Tool and Coldplay look to be [...]
Judas Priest relives career on the road
A 30 year-old album and state fairs…sounds like my kind of tour! In support of the 30th anniversary of the band’s 1980 classic British Steel, Judas Priest will take to the road this summer to relive the album in its entirety. With support from Whitesnake, the legendary heavy metal outfit will launch what is currently [...]
Audio Archaeology: Corky and the Juice Pigs (1987-1998)
Comedic music is a fickle mistress. More than a few mainstream bands flirt with comedy, and some comedians have an impressive musical presence, but there are very few artists who deal exclusively in comedic music, leaving the genre for the most part overrun with one-off novelty songs. However, the comedic music world has recently begun [...]
Jane’s Addiction, Styx, REO Speedwagon head City Stages ’09
Chalk up another nominee for the most eclectic lineup of 2009. Following in the footsteps of Sunfest and Beale Street, Birmingham, Alabama’s City Stages has returned with a ’09 bill that basically combines the 80s with the 00s, with some jazz sprinkled in for good measures. Jane’s Addiction, Styx, and REO Speedwagon head the three-day [...]
Guster sets off on 4th Annual Campus Consciousness Tour
Guster has been well known for its live performances and loyal fan following, even before the numerous soundtrack appearances (see: Life As A House and Garden State; we will play “6 Degrees of Hayden Christensen” later). With their initially underground status, the Bostonians built a foundation that continues to influence other avenues of indie rock, [...]
R.E.M. to reissue Reckoning, release rehearsal recordings
Reissue and repackage. Two words becoming quite familiar in the world of R.E.M. these days. After all, when not prepping the “exploratory demos” for their forthcoming, yet-to-be-titled new studio album – that’s right, I said new studio album, that’s all Michael Stipe and Co. seem to be doing. Following in the footsteps of last year’s [...]
Dusting ‘Em Off: NEU! – NEU!
If being parodied in a Coen Brothers movie is any measure of popular success, then the West German underground scene of the 1970′s may indeed have a fighting chance at the history books. And while “Autobahn”, the fictional nihilist New Wave band depicted in The Big Lebowski (whose members include Flea of the Red Hot [...]
Get ready for some Bisco Inferno!
The yet-to-be-announced Camp Bisco 8 isn’t the only thing on the mind of The Disco Biscuits these days. In fact, while all us festival junkies wait impatiently for details of the Biscuits’ three day extravaganza in mid-July, at least for the moment, the Philadelphia based rockers have their attention turned else where to another weekend [...]
