Over the Rhine : Blueberry Hill’s Duck Room, St. Louis, MO 9/08/2006

It’s not a stretch to say that Over the Rhine is at their creative peak. The last few years have produced the art rock Films for Radio, the addicting double album Ohio, and the intimate and personal Drunkard’s Prayer, not to mention a few internet-only live albums that have been sold to dedicated fans along the way. Granted, they haven’t caught national attention like Wilco or The Flaming Lips, but nonetheless, it’s been a great time to follow their lead and watch them evolve.

String Cheese Incident Plans San Fran New Years ‘Sea Of Dreams’

After a hugely successful inaugural event last year, Madison House, Anon Salon, and Peak Experience Productions will collaborate again for the Seventh Annual Sea of Dreams New Year’s Eve event in San Francisco on December 30th and 31st.

Like last year, cultural forces will unite for two freaky nights at the San Francisco’s Concourse Exhibition Center for the biggest New Year’s-weekend gathering on the west coast. Expect three stages hosting an incredible roster of live bands – plus cabaret and circus acts, DJs and dance collectives, performance troupes, and more. All set within multiple thematic environments, this event promises something for people of every tribe.

Musical acts performing on the three stages include the groundbreaking independent rock band The String Cheese Incident (playing two full sets each night), British nu-school breaks producer Tipper, revolutionary underground artist Bassnectar, modern day traveling minstrel DJ Mark Farina, the down-tempo trip-hop dance music of Lotus, live electronic hipsters Pnuma Trio and plenty of others still to be announced.

Performance troupe and dance collective participants include The Indigo Belly Dance, The Mystic Family Circus, Black and Blue Burlesque Anon Salon’s Circularious, and others. In addition to the stage performances, expect art encampments, novelty zones, installations, midnight spectacles, supergames, and everything. For complete line-up and details as they become available visit seaofdreamsnye.com.

Propelling the proceedings will be innovative entertainment booking and management company Madison House, and Portland, Oregon-based Peak Experience Productions. Both will join forces with long-time San Francisco art/event promoters Anon Salon (the co-creators of “Burning Man Decompression” and past “Sea of Dreams” NYE events).

Sea of Dreams is an epic costumed celebration of music, art and community. This colossal pageant weaves together a host of artistic communities to create a truly “emergent” cultural phenomenon. In the most unusual venue, with the most multi-faceted and unprecedented line-up ever, Sea of Dreams has altered the course of party history.

Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg Reunite For New Album

Dr. Dre has produced several tracks for Snoop Dogg’s upcoming album, “The Blue Carpet Treatment,” due Nov. 21 via Doggystyle/Geffen. The new songs, which include “Imagine,” will be the duo’s first collaborative effort in roughly five years.

“Imagine” finds the two longtime friends and collaborators ruminating about hypothetical situations such as life without hip-hop (“Imagine Russell [Simmons] still struggling/no Def Jam,” Dre raps) and if Tupac Shakur never died.

“Blue Carpet” also boasts production from the Neptunes, Timbaland and Rick Rock, among others. Nate Dogg and Ne-Yo have joined the list of previously announced guest artists, which includes R. Kelly, Stevie Wonder, the Game and Ice Cube.

Neil Young Opens Archives For Fillmore CD/DVD

Neil Young is finally ready to roll out releases from his long-rumored “Archives Performance” series. First up is “Live at the Fillmore East 1970,” due Nov. 14 via Reprise. The album features six as-yet-unannounced selections from Crazy Horse’s March 6-7 runs at the New York venue, at a time when late guitarist Danny Whitten was still a member of the band.

“Fillmore” will also be available in a CD/DVD edition featuring a high-resolution audio mix, photos from the show, Young’s handwritten song lyrics and press articles from the era.

In addition to core members Whitten, Billy Talbot (bass) and Ralph Molina (drums), the four shows found Crazy Horse augmented by producer Jack Nitzsche on electric piano. Among the songs featured in the set lists were “On the Way Home,” “Broken Arrow,” “Cinnamon Girl,” “Cowgirl in the Sand” and “Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere.”

Gov’t Mule : McCarren Pool, Brooklyn, NY 9/09/2006

Over the years, Warren has evolved from a serious sideman to a mature bandleader who has endured the loss of band mates, shuffling of Jamband franchiseslike the Allmans & 'The Dead' to finally come out of his own Deep End into the rebirth of the Mule.

Awesome!, Halou & Cloud Cult at Bumbershoot 2006: Seattle Center, Seattle, WA

To attend Bumbershoot, Seattle’s annual Labor Day orgy of the arts, is to understand all that is good about the Seattle music and cultural scene: the vivacity and seemingly boundless creative energy, the true breadth of artistic offerings, and the wide-ranging musical tastes of the audiences that support this incredible scene.

The Who : Madison Square Garden, NY, NY 9/18/2006

New and old (well, except for the crowd who were just old), the two Who’s rocked the worlds most famous arena with a collection of “oldies,” but primarily relied on the rather younger songs. After putting out a “mini-opera” back in July, Townshend and Daltrey have begun to march forward, with plans to release a new album in the next month, offering the bands first serious output since 1982.
