Hidden Track

Fifteen years ago today, the music world lost a living legend that made it possible for even this website to exist. No, it’s not Internet inventor Al Gore, it’s famed concert promotor and producer Bill Graham, and we honor his memory today. Graham’s helicopter crashed near Vallejo, California on this day a decade and a half ago, as […]

Another one of our master scavengers on retainer dug up the ultimate present for anyone with too much time on their hands. From what I know about the world wide web, I’m guessing that’s just about every single one of you disgusting tour wooks. So from our friend Henge to you, feel free to look […]

You’re getting older, so that likely means no more candy on Halloween. But luckily for you, Tea Leaf Green and Sirius have combined forces to make sure you’ll still get a treat. And because you’re also getting fatter, you won’t even have to leave your house or apartment to receive it. All you need to […]

If you’ll kindly scroll down three posts to yesterday’s “Shine A Light: Scorsese & The Stones,” you’ll see that there’s some major ridiculousness in store for New York City on October 29th and 31st.

On those nights, New York’s Beacon Theater plays host to the age-defying Rolling Stones and one of this country’s greatest I-talian film directors in what is sure to be a star-studded event of mind-blowing, face-melting, pee-pantsing proportions.

And now, they’re making tickets available to the public…read on, sluts.

Every Tuesday, without fail, I get jammed up at work. Real, actual work. Paycheck work. And that sucks, because as much as I like earning money for a job well-done, I’d much rather hang out with youse guys and talk turkey. So on each and every Tuesday I’ll be posting a handful of classic YouTube […]

Everyone’s favorite redheaded singer played a free show in Denver’s Twist & Shout record store last night, and by all accounts, the event acoustically melted faces. Trey not only performed, but he also signed some shit for the lucky patrons, including but not limited to a shirtless photo of Chuck Norris (that’s not a joke). Here’s […]

A bit of breaking news from the weekend to report: I walked by the side entrance of the Beacon Theater on Saturday morning to find an unusual amount of activity, especially for this early on a weekend. That’s when I saw Martin Scorsese walk into the building. Now that piqued my interest.

At that point I remembered reading that Scorsese would be filming the upcoming Rolling Stones concerts at the Beacon Theater. As I walked around the building I saw that the production team had blocked off a number of local blocks, and they were loading literally tons of equipment into the Beacon. On each blocked-off street, the crew members posted fliers explaining that Scorsese was filming a movie that “takes a behind the scenes look at the world of rock and roll.”

That’s the second thing that piqued my interest that morning, so I grabbed the signage from the post and did some classic investigating…

In an effort to provide you with as much content on this blog as possible, First Lt. Scott Bernstein will scour the world wide web every week to bring you some of the best circulating torrents — both audio and video — that you may not have noticed floating around the information superhighway.

Since this post serves as the debut of this department, allow me to take a second to vouch for ScottyB. I recently bought a new iPod and delivered the unopened package directly to Scotty and his roommate, Coach, who then sent me an Excel spreadsheet with hundreds of gigs worth of sick live shows and awesome rarities. I picked out what I wanted and shot it back to them, stopping by a week later to claim a top-notch personal music device.

The point is this: ScottyB wants you all to accumulate a stellar music catalogue, and he’ll stop at nothing to accomplish that goal. Let him help you out, he knows what he’s doing here. So here’s the first installment, for the week of 10/23/06.

(Oh, and we’re also offering +10 Hidden Track Heady Points to anyone that can tell us what musical genius coined the questionable phrase “Grousing the Aisles”…)

A long weekend of collegiate homecoming and Tea Leaf Green at The Vic awaits…sweet home, Chicago. I originally planned to post the first installment of “Grousing the Aisles” today, Scott Bernstein’s weekly series of what’s flying under the BitTorrent radar. Instead I got caught up with another heroic effort by one of the Flying Molina […]

I’ve never been terribly upset about missing an opening act. That is, until I walked into the Theatre at Madison Square Garden last night for Beck’s set and heard the bad news. Apparently a nice young man named Spank Rock played his now-classic hit “Shake It ‘Til My Dick Turns Racist.” That could’ve been my new anthem, and I missed it. Oh well, best not think too deeply on this one.

But Beck’s 90-minute masterful performance more than made up for my foolish decision to skip the poetic appetizer, and the hipster doofus proved beyond all doubt that he’s worth every penny of the questionably inflated $60 ducat. Not only did he intertwine an impressive and eclectic mix of songs from his old albums with solid tunes off the new one, Beck put on a show in every sense of the word…
