http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/articl...t_id=1003682003 Stephen Malkmus Jonathan Cohen, N.Y. Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks have set a March 4 date for their next Matador album, titled "Real Emotional Trash." The 10-song set marks the first Jicks album with Sleater-Kinney/Quasi drummer Janet Weiss, who replaced John Moen in the group earlier this year. Recording took place at Snow Ghost Studios in Whitefish, Mont. Next spring, the group will visit North America, Europe and Asia in support of the release. Beforehand, there are shows set for Dec. 19 in San Francisco and Dec. 21 in Portland, Ore. "Real Emotional Trash" is the follow-up to 2005's "Face the Truth," which debuted at No. 7 on Billboard's Top Independent Albums chart. Here is the track list for "Real Emotional Trash": "Dragonfly Pie" "Hopscotch Willie" "Cold Son" "Real Emotional Trash" "Out of Reaches" "Baltimore" "Gardenia" "Elmo Delmo" "We Can't Help You" "Wicked Wanda"

People will bitch about Rolling Stone and Led Zeppelin for many years to come. Time to give it a fuckin' rest already and let bygones be bygones. Funny how people will bitch and moan about Rolling Stones' relationship with Zep but then that suddenly goes out the door when they put them on the cover or reprint a vintage Zep article on their website.

The remastered The Song Remains the Same soundtrack, the DVD and Mothership were already in production long before there was any talk of the London reunion show. As for gotickets, they're just money grubbing ticket brokers that want your fucking money.

I don't mean just edits but tinkering in general.

For those interested, here's the complete list. Some decent artists such as Steve Earle, Levon Helm, Joan Armatrading, JJ Cale/Eric Clapton, David Bromberg, Peter Case, Jim Lauderdale, Betty LaVette and others did make the cut: http://www.grammy.com/GRAMMY_Awards/50th_Show/list.aspx#13

The truth of the matter is, all live albums are subject to some editing. I listened to Little Feat's Waitin' For Columbus for years without realizing the amount of splicing that went on with that record. I never knew a thing about it until the deluxe expanded reissue came out just a few years ago. Even "unofficial" live recordings that are circulated among fans are subject to some splicing and "cleaning up".

That one is also very good. Lots of vintage performances there.

The new Pearl Jam DVD, Immagine In Cornice is one of the best concert films I've had the pleasure of seeing in quite some time. R.E.M.'s new Live DVD is also very kick ass as is the new live Jimmy Buffett DVD, Live In Anquilla. Festival Express with the Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, Buddy Guy, the New Riders of the Purple Sage and others isn't bad at all either.

The entire article: http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20162677_2...0163996,00.html THE POP OF KING Stephen King's Top Tunes of 2007 See which albums and songs the EW pop-culture columnist named as his favorites from the past 12 months AVRIL LAVIGNE ''Girlfriend'' got more plays in Stephen King's house than Springsteen's ''Radio Nowhere,'' less than Wilco's ''Either Way'' Mark Liddell By Stephen King The advice from my mother that I think of most often: ''If you can't say something nice, just shut up and smile.'' You might think of those words of wisdom, should you look for certain highly touted 2007 CDs below and not find them. In truth, your Uncle Stevie was disappointed with this year's new music, very disappointed indeed, and his year-end list reflects that. I could only find seven albums I wanted to mention, but there is a bright side: I've added my favorite songs of the year. Download 'em and burn your own CD, how about that? And if you think my list sucks, you can drop me a line on the message board. Or just shut up and smile. The latter option would probably be less trouble for both of us. Might I add, while I'm at it, that I'm haunted — as with the lists of movies and books that will follow in good time — by all the good stuff I may have missed? There's just too much out there, and life is too short. But now, with no further ado... STEVE'S BEST ALBUMS OF THE YEAR! 7. Countrypolitan Favorites, Southern Culture on the Skids Are you mourning Porter Wagoner? Still bumming over Buck (Owens, that is)? Here's the perfect cheer-up medicine: 15 old-timey country faves, dressed up in rockin' clothes courtesy of Rick Miller's surf guitar. Best cut is probably ''Engine Engine #9,'' with Rick Miller sounding eerily like the late great Roger Miller, but Mary Huff's upbeat take on ''Rose Garden'' (Lynn Anderson did the original) is also a marvel. 6. Revival, John Fogerty A little uneven, and probably not his absolute best work, but still impossible not to turn up and dance to; this is straight-ahead old-school rock. Fogerty has stayed true to the swampy stuff he does the best, and on songs like ''Don't You Wish It Was True'' and ''Somebody Help Me,'' he hits that ole Creedence groove dead-on (and Fogerty always was Creedence). 5. Black Rain, Ozzy Osbourne It's amazing that Ozzy can do this sort of thing at all anymore, let alone so well. Finest heavy metal record of the year; a true speaker-buster. Best track is the amazing ''I Don't Wanna Stop.'' Slipknot, eat your filthy little heart out. 4. It's Not Big It's Large, Lyle Lovett and His Large Band This is a terrific Texas swing album, but of course not everybody likes Texas swing (or even knows what it is). What makes it special is Lovett's vermouth-dry vocals and his equally dry wit. In the dry-wit department, check out ''All Downhill.'' 3. Life in Cartoon Motion, MIKA An incredibly accomplished debut, and a voice that bears an eerie resemblance to Freddie Mercury's. This one lived all summer on my car's CD player, especially ''Lollipop.'' 2. Sky Blue Sky, Wilco No audio tricks and/or experimentation this time, only a set of gorgeously simple tunes and class-A writing. Jeff Tweedy has never been sweeter, more controlled, or in better voice. Not a bad cut on the album. Even the cover art's beautiful. 1. Washington Square Serenade, Steve Earle This is the prolific Earle's best album since he got out of jail (a statement that only seems perfectly rational when discussing rock & roll). It's what we called ''folk rock'' back in the day, but it's more than that; songs like ''City of Immigrants'' and ''Down Here Below'' (which concerns Manhattan's flying urban legend Pale Male) are paragraphs in Earle's love note to New York. On ''Tennessee Blues'' he bids a sad, not-so-fond farewell to the Guitar Town. (''Bound for New York City, and I won't be back no more.'') Of all the albums I heard this year, it's the only one that fulfilled my expectations on every level. STEVE'S MIX '07 I don't think you need many explanations about this mix; the songs either explain themselves, or they don't. All I need tell you is that yes, they're all downloadable; yes, I heard them all for the first time in 2007, and most, but not all, are from this year; and yes, every one of them blissed me out. I played them over and over until my wife threatened to divorce me...or just stab me repeatedly with the kitchen scissors (and no jury in America would have convicted her). They are listed from the least played (about 12 times in the case of ''Radio Nowhere'') to the most played (which would be about 50, putting me squarely in stabbed-in-the-kitchen territory). I know I'll get hazed about some selections (James Blunt?? Brad Paisley???), but my dear old mother also used to tell me that honesty's the best policy. This is as honest as I can be. So there. And let's hope next year is a little bit better. 18. ''Radio Nowhere'' Bruce Springsteen 17. ''1973'' James Blunt 16. ''Nothing Changes Around Here'' The Thrills 15. ''Girlfriend'' Avril Lavigne 14. ''Homo Erectus'' Ray Benson and Reckless Kelly 13. ''Bring It on Home to Me'' Tab Benoit 12. ''I'm Shipping Up to Boston'' Dropkick Murphys 11. ''Radar Gun'' The Bottle Rockets 10. ''Online'' Brad Paisley 9. ''Same Mistake'' James Blunt 8. ''Up in Indiana'' Lyle Lovett and His Large Band 7. ''Right Moves'' Josh Ritter 6. ''Wait for Love'' Josh Ritter 5. ''Crazy Ex-Girlfriend'' Miranda Lambert 4. ''Jericho Road'' Steve Earle 3. ''Get Your Biscuits in the Oven (and Your Buns in Bed)'' Kevin Fowler 2. ''Down the Road Tonight'' Hayes Carll 1. ''Either Way'' Wilco

I had the pleasure of seeing Mother's Finest many, many times here in NC as they were from just down the road in Hotlanter. I've seen a lot of concerts in my time but those MF shows are some of the very best I've ever seen, bar none. I haven't seen them since the 80s but MF is still actively touring and are immensely popular overseas. http://mothersfinest.com I caught Foghat in their prime back when Foghat Live was new. They played Dorton Arena in Raleigh with Derringer (first time I saw wireless guitars) and The Outlaws. The Outlaws were virtually unknown at the time but for whatever reason, closed the show. I only saw Foghat one other time and it was during their New Wave phase. Still good, just not the boogie-woogie era Foghat I love the best. Despite the loss of Lonesome Dave and Rod Price Foghat is still touring today. To my ears they can never be Foghat without Lonesome Dave. I never have seen J. Geils but I highly recommend Peter Wolf's Sleepless album in the event that you have never heard it. It never got a lot of publicity and/or airplay but it is definitely one of my favorite records of the last 10 years or so. He's still got it. I guess it doesn't hurt that Mick and Keith also guest star.

I really don't watch 'em either (or any awards shows for that matter, unless it's for comedic affect, like the CMAs) but somewhere in their long list of nominees is usually someone I like that I feel really deserves it, such as artists in the folk categories.

http://edition.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/Music/...mmy.nominations Amy Winehouse earned nominations in the big three categories -- album, song and record of the year. (CNN) -- Kanye West earned eight nominations Thursday, including album of the year and rap album of the year for his "Graduation," leading the competition for the 50th annual Grammy Awards. British pop singer Amy Winehouse also made out well, earning six nods, including nominations for album of the year, song of the year, record of the year and best new artist. In a surprise, Bruce Springsteen -- whose critically praised "Magic" was expected to do well -- didn't get an album of the year nomination. The competition in that category, besides West and Winehouse, includes the Foo Fighters ("Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace"), Vince Gill (the four-disc set "These Days") and Herbie Hancock ("River: The Joni Letters"). Two Foo Fighters -- Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins -- as well as Gill and Hancock were on hand at the announcement to hear their names read. Springsteen, who earned four nominations, was nominated for best solo rock vocal and best rock album, among other awards. Aside from Winehouse's "Rehab," the nominees for song of the year -- a songwriter's honor -- are "Before He Cheats" (performed by Carrie Underwood), "Hey There Delilah" (Plain White T's), "Like a Star" (Corinne Bailey Rae), "Rehab" (Amy Winehouse) and "Umbrella" (Rihanna). Record of the year nominations went to "Rehab," Beyonce's "Irreplaceable," the Foo Fighters' "The Pretender," Rihanna's "Umbrella," Justin Timberlake's "What Goes Around ... Comes Around." In addition to Winehouse, best new artist nominees are Feist, Ledisi, Paramore and Taylor Swift. Common ("Finding Forever"), Jay-Z ("Kingdom Come"), Nas ("Hip Hop Is Dead"), T.I. ("T.I. vs. T.I.P") and West all earned nominations for best rap album. Peripatetic producer Timbaland, who received five nominations total, was among those receiving producer of the year (non-classical) nominations. Paul McCartney, whose album "Memory Almost Full" earned good reviews, earned nominations for best pop vocal and best solo rock vocal. At one point, the announcement turned into a festival of hugs, with an emotional Swift embracing many of her colleagues after hearing her name called. Grohl had fun with the idea, grabbing producer Jimmy Jam after Jam announced the Foo Fighters' album had made the album of the year list. The 50th annual Grammy Awards are scheduled for Sunday, February 10.

The criticism is usually leveled at Bono for his political efforts which doesn't have a damn thing to do with their music. For some reason it's wrong for someone like Bono to try to better the world by holding court with worldwide leaders. I say if he can do anything to help, more power to him. I wonder if John Lennon had lived, would people be as openly criticial of his very similar efforts as they are of Bono?

Maybe because several of the members came across as a bunch of crybaby pussies on VH1's Behind the Music special putting them in the same category of their latter day MOR inheritors, Creed. Or maybe it was because of the skewering Beavis and Butthead gave this video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=GAuMYKalLag

That's probably because he was lip synching to a tape of Steve Perry. At least according to reports that were circulating a year or so ago. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Perry_%28musician%29

http://www.indyweek.com/gyrobase/Content?oid=oid%3A165084 BY RICK CORNELL The Backsliders back in the '90s Please forgive this recollection, as it comes through the haze formed by many draft beers, a cloud of music-club cigarette smoke and near whiteout snow conditions that swept through North Carolina on Saturday, Feb. 3, 1996, the second day of the first Honky-Tonk-arama. When I got home from Local 506 that night nearly a dozen years ago, I simply sat for a while "white-knuckle, straitjacket, dumbass blind," to quote Tommy Womack after he saw a life-changing Replacements show. Part of it was the weather. A winter storm rolled in over the course of the second night, and the drive home was one long fishtail up Airport Road to the Hillsborough line. Then there was the music, of course: The Old 97's—still on Bloodshot and hyper and hungry—played like four guys who'd been set free after being snowed in for a couple of days in the mountains because, well, they were four guys who'd just been set free after being snowed in for a couple of days in the mountains. John Howie Jr. was everywhere both nights: filling in on drums for the Backsliders due to a J.D. Dennis arm injury; joining Ryan Adams to form a one-off rhythm section for Jolene, whose customary rhythm boys were stranded somewhere on Interstate 85; and, oh yeah, fronting his new country outfit the Two Dollar Pistols for maybe the second or third time. Who knew this punk rock drummer Howie was our new Bobby Bare waiting in the wings? Adams introduced his side project Freightwhaler, featuring a couple of members of Ithica Gin, the most unapologetic, unofficial Uncle Tupelo tribute band ever. Jolene's John Crooke sure could sing, and that Adams kid sure could sing and write. Melissa Swingle and Trailer Bride's indie-country-blues seduced even while it spooked. And nothing closed out a rock 'n' roll 'n' honky-tonk night like Friday headliners the Backsliders with their "Cowboy Boots/ Aloha Steve and Dano" medley. And nothing said goodbye like The Chicken Wire Gang on Saturday, who ended the Honky-Tonk-arama with their backporch-Band take on a true Triangle classic, Rick Rock's "Buddha Buddha." Mostly, though, sitting at home then and now, it was the sense of community that permeated Local 506 that weekend. I know that sounds corny, but it's true. The snow and ice outside heightened emotions, for sure; the right mix of meteorological event and misfits can turn a bowling alley into Bethlehem, and that night it turned a music club into a congregation. There was food in the back corner by the soundboard, and it felt like a Methodist covered-dish supper with the potential to get ugly. We let the music warm us before we had to go home in the cold. There was magic in the building: A scenester clapped. A Spectator reader hugged an Independent reader. Pine State didn't set anything on fire. But, had owner Dave Robertson installed a fireplace, we might have stayed forever, or at least until the tap of High Life ran dry. There was another community at work, too, one that went beyond this weather-inspired fellowship. It's safe to say that the group of folks at Local 506 represented pretty much the same crowd of believers that'd been at The Brewery in Raleigh the weekend before for the inaugural S.P.I.T.T.L.E. Fest. Among others, that lineup gathered locals Whiskeytown and 6 String Drag, non-Triangle Carolinians Mercury Dime and the Johnsons, and from way out of town, the ageless Sleepy LaBeef. When the Backsliders launched into "Forever Came Today" at both those fests, there was something sort of special about thinking that maybe 50 people in the state would recognize it as a song from Eric Ambel's Roscoe's Gang record—and that half of them were in the bar. But it wasn't about exclusivity or having an esoterica-fueled power trip. It was more a giddy comfort, maybe even relief, that came with realizing there were other rootsy music geeks up for bonding in and outside of bars. These communities had other Triangle rallying points. A Brewery show in January 1995 brought together Whiskeytown, 6 String Drag and the Backsliders and served as a coming out party for so-called alt.country in the Triangle. Radio studio performances by those bands and Pine State from earlier in the day were later released by host Ross Grady as Smash Hits Opry. In the summer of that year, Backslider Chip Robinson introduced a handful of diehards to a new song he'd just written titled "Throwin' Rocks at the Moon" during the waning minutes of a party in the wilds of Pittsboro. At a benefit at Cup a Joe a handful of years later, Robinson, 6 String Drag's Kenny Roby and Gerald Duncan, who'd taken his share of arrows while leading the pioneering Accelerators, swapped verses on "The Weight" after Robinson unveiled his new "Abe Lincoln." But that first Honky-Tonk-arama remained as the event against which all the others are measured. Why these memories now? Saturday night at Local 506, The Backsliders and Two Dollar Pistols—alongside Hick'ry Hawkins, Memphis the Band, Hank Sinatra (with guest Phil Lee) and Richard Bacchus & the Luckiest Girls—return for the Showdown at the Hoedown, a Honky-Tonk-arama show of sorts. The bill is perfectly suited for me and those other 24 "Forever Came Today" fans that were with me in 1996. Pray for snow. Tickets for Showdown at the Hoedown are $10 in advance and $12 at the door. Music starts at 7 p.m. And you can catch the Backsliders the night before, along with Jeffrey Dean Foster & the Birds of Prey and the Nevers, at The Pour House. It's $8-$10 and 10 p.m. for that one. Robinson's The VibeKillers also play Slim's on Sunday, Dec. 9, at 10 p.m. with The Tremors. Cover is $3.

From The Washington Post: Country singer David Allan Coe famously did time in jail -- he says he spent 20 of his first 34 years locked up -- and a check of recent police blotters indicates he seems to have put his lawbreaking ways behind him. Except for stealing his fans' money. Sunday night at the State Theatre, Coe took the stage at 8:10 and departed at 8:52 after playing an uninterrupted stretch of song snippets accompanied by two guitar-slinging accomplices and a drummer. To its credit, the State Theatre's management reminded Coe backstage of his contractual obligation for a 90-minute show, but the getaway car was already gone. At $24 a ticket and no opening act, Coe escaped with thousands of his fans' dollars. It was pretty dry going anyway. Coe, wearing a waist-length blond wig and strands of beaded beard that dangled to his considerable belly, played a flying V-style guitar as he sang into a microphone attached at his throat, thereby immobilizing his head. With the considerable help of his young band, Coe sang the equivalent of the contents of a roadhouse jukebox -- hits by Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson and others -- and he did it as an aural montage, never finishing a song before blurring into the next. If he played one of his best-known compositions, "Take This Job and Shove It," a No. 1 hit by Johnny Paycheck, we somehow missed it. All in all, it was an outrageous show, but for the wrong reasons. -- Buzz McClain

Metallica isn't playing Bonnaroo. Neither is Led Zeppelin and where in the report did it ever say anybody was opening for anybody? Not to mention the fact that it's a festival. Even if the rumor did turn out to be true (which it's not) they could have played different nights.

http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/inde...on-the-internet Journey Finds New Singer the Old-Fashioned Way: On the Internet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HjcCzgCCX0 Here’s a YouTube tale with a happy ending: Filipino singer Arnel Pineda (pronounced “pin-eh-da”) posted footage of himself performing Journey covers with his band the Zoo and was discovered half a world away by Journey guitarist Neal Schon, who was trolling the site for new blood. Schon got in touch with Pineda (and convinced the vocalist he wasn’t pulling a prank on him) and voila: Pineda has been named the band’s latest frontman, replacing Steve Augeri, who left last year. “It’s so exciting to sing with one of the best bands in the world,” Pineda said in a statement. “It’ll be a lot of hard work on my part and I’m actually looking forward to the scrutiny I’ll get from the hardcore Journey fans. I know they’ll expect me to sound exactly like ‘the voice’ (Steve Perry), but that will never happen. I know there’s only one Steve Perry in this world.” True enough, but Pineda sounds spookily similar to his idol: check out the clip of “Faithfully” above for proof. Rolling Stone

http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/inde...nion-mudcrutch/ Jimmy Page has said that strangers often stop him on the street and beg him to reunite Led Zeppelin. It’s possible not a single person alive has ever asked Tom Petty to reunite his pre-Heartbreakers band Mudcrutch, but he’s doing it anyway. The group — which included future Heartbreakers Benmont Tench and Mike Campbell, along with drummer Randall Marsh and guitarist Tom Leadon — broke up in the mid-Seventies and hadn’t played together until earlier this year when Petty called them all to his Malibu house to cut a new album. He’s even mulling a tour next year. Keep reading for a Q&A where Petty explains why he got the old crew together again. Rolling Stone: You re-formed Mudcrutch recently, right? Tom Petty: Yes, I did. RS: What inspired that? TP: It was weird. It was one of those lighting bolts to the brain. A few years ago I just started thinking about how I missed those guys, Tom Leadon and Randall Marsh. We’ve stayed in contact over the years and we’ve all stayed good friends. I brought it up to Mike and everybody was up for it. We had a ball doing it. We made the album in two weeks flat. We played everything live — vocals, no overdubs. I was just mixing it yesterday. It’s really good. I think people will enjoy it. I moved over to bass, like I used to be. Everybody sings at least one song on it, though I did the majority of the singing. It has kind of a country/rock feel, but not as you think of it today. Maybe a little edgier country kind of feel. It’s pretty cool. RS: Are these all new songs or any older songs you recut? TP: They’re all new songs. RS: Are you guys doing any gigs? TP: I think we may play some gigs. This is another spoke in the wheel — are the Heartbreakers going to go on tour and how does that preclude Mudcrutch doing the same thing and do we have time to do both? RS: Mudcrutch could open up for Tom Petty & The Hearbreakers. TP: [Laughs] I doubt that will happen. RS: How did it feel to play with those guys after all these years? TP: It was the most fun I’ve had in years. I had to calm myself down at night I was having so much fun. Most of the band came here and lived at my house in Malibu when we were doing it. We’d go to the Heartbreakers’ recording studio every day. We played live there with only four monitors, no headphones or anything. A lot of the songs were written down there or after we got home at night we’d write another one. I had too much fun doing it. It was just such a good time and I hope people enjoy it as much as I do. RS: When you first called the guys about this, were they shocked? TP: Yeah. They were like, “Really, are you serious? We’re going to do that?” I go, “Yeah, I’m serious.” I didn’t know. I had to call around and try to explain it to them. Once they started talking to each other and they really believed me, they got gung-ho. RS: What sparked this? It’s pretty unusual for someone who’s been as successful as you to go back to their band that was significantly less successful. TP: They weren’t successful at all. We were together for quite awhile. I learned to play with these guys. Tom and I had a really good harmony since we sang together so much. We have a really good blend. I’m still trying to figure out what inspired me. I had been in the midst of promoting Highway Companion and I was doing lots of interviews. One of them touched on Mudcrutch and I was sitting between interviews and thinking, “That might be an interesting thing to get them down and play with them.” The first day they came down we cut four tracks. It was like we never left. We’re actually a lot better than we were then. RS: What kind of venues do you think you guys will playing, if you do tour? TP: I think it would be small. I wouldn’t try and go into big arenas with Mudcrutch. What I would like to see them do is play festivals, that’s what they were always good at — those big outdoor summertime shows.

I'll be headed up there Friday for The Backsliders show at the Pour House. Only thing is, there's several other shows going on the same evening (Needham's Neighbor at Sadlack's, Chris & Marc Smith from Patty Hurst Shifter at Slim's Downtown & Elizabeth Cook w/Tim Carrol at Hideaway BBQ) that I'd also like to see. With the exception of the Elizabeth Cook show I'll somehow manage to catch a little bit of each one of them especially since a couple of them start early. That I'm not sure of. I do know it's at the end of The Circle where Big Surf/Chevy's/Mikey's once was but on the road side, as opposed to the beach side. Our Place is basically just a small pool hall. Speaking of AB, I just found this great overhead shot on Google: Other than a couple of tunes (the opening track and My Sweet Annette) that album isn't too twangy at all. In fact, it flat out rocks on many tracks: Sinkhole, Marry Me, Careless, etc.

Just some favorite songs at random. I could never choose my favorites of all time as they are constantly changing.
