More Beatles goodness as someone takes the time to spin “Revolution 9” backwards and offer visual “interpretations” of all the “hidden” crap. Happy Thanksgiving.

I always loved this version of “Revolution” with the live vocals sung over the studio track. John always seemed even more impassioned on this performance to me. Dig it.
Kids, if you dig DJs, MySpace is a great place to explore. The coolest thing I did when signing up for MySpace was enlist Fatboy Slim, the Bassbin Twins, and Adam Freeland to be my friends. Awwww, cute, you’re thinking.
I won’t cover up the lie, anymore: I’m a big Big Beat devotee. On MySpace, as in life, if ye network with the folks you like, you’ll generally like what comes back to you. This week’s MySpace find is DJ Silence, someone who noted I chose those monolithic mixmasters as friends and got in touch.
The Albuquerque, NM-based Silence makes some awesome mixes, as evidenced by his freely downloadable stuff. Go ahead and sample that buffet. If you’re into the breakbeat-electro scene, he’ll fill some of your hours with some mighty fine grooves. Myself, I’m totally diggin’ the Grunge Breaks mix.
In its 50 years of existence, Los Angeles venue The Troubadour has helped launch the careers of artists such as The Eagles, Jackson Browne and Elton John. Two other artists that first performed there in 1969 are Carole King and James Taylor, who will be celebrating the 50-year anniversary of the club with three shows there, November 28-30. The two performances each night will benefit various charities including National Resources Defense and MusiCares.
Not surprisingly in a year that they toured for the first time in decades, The Police were big winners at the fourth annual Billboard Touring Awards last week. The band took home the awards for Top Tour and Top Draw. Other winners included Kenny Chesney, Justin Timberlake, Prince and Larry the Cable Guy.
Velvet Revolver’s four-day tour in Japan, which was scheduled for November 26-30, was cancelled because of visa issues stemming from previous arrests of some of the band’s members. The band is appealing but will likely not have a ruling for several months.
Carrie Underwood will join Tim McGraw, Rascal Flatts and others on the 2008 Stagecoach country music festival. The event is being held May 3-4 at California’s Empire Polo Field.
Indie rock band The A.K.A.s are releasing their new album in March 2008, but will be hitting the road in advance of that along with Hawthorne Heights, Escape The Fate, Amber Pacific and The Secret Handshake beginning this Friday in Detroit. Here are the complete confirmed Continue reading »
Originally, I’d planned to post the Boys’ 1991 appearance on “The Tonight Show,” when, in mid-performance, Chris Lowe (a.k.a. the one who doesn’t sing) got pissed off about not getting enough camera time and left the stage. Yikes. Tantrum much? Anyway, the performance in question got yanked from YouTube before I could get it onto ESDMusic, so instead I’ve opted to spotlight the guys in a more recent…and more unlikely…appearance.
I’m always impressed with Regis Philbin as a talk show host; whether he really knows what he’s talking about or not, he always has that offhanded casual manner when he’s introducing someone that convinces you that he might actually be a fan of the person he’s getting ready to bring to the stage. Somehow, I suspect the amount of PSB in his CD collection is lacking…though perhaps not as much as it’s lacking from Kelly Ripa’s, since she seems to have no idea that they’ve done anything since “West End Girls”…but neither host’s knowledge (of lack thereof) of the duo affect this lovely piano-driven version of one of the guys’ sweetest and most sentimental songs.
