Hidden Track

Want to see Jim James in a powder-blue tuxedo? Head on down to Athens…

MMJ can really use a copy editor, but this sounds like an incredible event:

For all of you who missed your prom back in 1956 or 1986 or 2006 for that matter, we will be hosting the 1st annual MMJ 2 night prom, March 6th and 7th, at the fabulous, prom-ready, 40 watt club in Athens! The first time we walked thru those hallowed 40 Watt doors we said to ourselves, “this place looks perfect for a prom!” And now the dream will be a reality. The theme is a futuristic/retro under the sea vibe – costumes (tuxes, suits, robots, mermaid and lobster costumes, anything prom/ocean related) are not only encouraged – they are MANDATORY!!! NO ONE will be admitted without proper attire!** There will be cake, balloons, fishnets, classic cars, chaperones, spankings, and a whole lotta shakin goin on – 2007 style upin this bitch ya’ll. Come prepared to dance the night away, and make up for all the proms you missed…

This afternoon, the popular rock band Phish announced the release of both audio and video of 11/14/95, confirming the scoop we posted on Saturday. The audio is available in both FLAC ($12.95) and MP3 formats ($9.95), while the video is available in MP4 format ($19.95). You can download individual video tracks for $1.99, but you must purchase […]

So I wanna post…some vids on the face of today…and then they’ll paint it. Let’s lead off with Blind Melon’s Shannon Hoon hopping on stage with Guns N’ Roses in Chicago back in 1992 for a rousing rendition of Don’t Cry. This video is simply amazing, and I’m left wondering why Axl and Hoon never […]

Alphabetically, I find it damn near impossible to even get into the Cs each time I call up the SugarMegs streaming archive. Those awesome fuckers host so many amazing shows on their site that unless I scroll down blindly or search for something specifically, I can never make it past the As and the Bs. So don’t fight it, me thinks. […]

Usually when we mention teenagers on this site there’s an immediate follow-up mention of either Pete Townshend or Gary Glitter. But this post is about precocious teenagers, not the kind that are physically exploited for kicks.

Head Yes-man Jon Anderson fronted Paul Green’s School of Rock All Stars last night at BB King’s for a unique take on the catalog of his 70s progressive rock outfit, and Hidden Track Podcaster General Mike Newman was smart enough to shuttle himself over to Times Square for the evening’s action.

Read on after the jump for more of Newman’s photos and a couple of YouTube videos of Anderson’s fantastic collaboration with the PGSRAS. And if the videos are any indication, we all definitely missed the boat on this one…

I got my golden ticket yesterday, a seat at Fenway Park to see The Police. I highly recommend going in with a few friends on a fan club membership: Tickets were available for over an hour, and it is worth the $25 to not have to battle with the rest of the world during the […]

Twenty-three more posts this week makes 45 in a fortnight, a pace that’s both tiring us out and pissing off our respective employers. But just as the music never stopped, neither does the news. So, since maybe only eight and a half of you have read every single one of those posts of half-baked intellect […]

With some old fashioned sleuthing we found out the popular rock band Phish plans on releasing 11/14/95 as the next installment of the Live Phish video and audio series. The show from the University of Central Florida Arena in Orlando is best known for the incredible 40-minute Stash that contains two rarities: Dog Faced Boy […]

On the recommendation of my indie-bent pal Doc Hoobs, I legally downloaded the 19-track, Pete Townshend-infused Attic Jam off of iTunes. The playlist features songs recorded from Rachel Fuller’s online music chat program, In The Attic. And after just one listen, I’m starting to agree with Hoobs’ viewpoint that by listening to many of the […]

As we (and the entire music blogging community) reported yesterday, Al Gore’s invented an epic global warming awareness summertime concert. The lineup so far looks pretty blah, but now three big names have been tossed into the fray: “ROLLING STONE has learned exclusively that we can add three more music heavyweights to the bill: The Police, […]
