The first time I ever saw Tom Petty was when I caught the trippy Don’t Come Around Here video on MTV back in 1985. I was eight at the time
Fourteen years, two days and one untimely death after Nirvana recorded the salad-days soundtrack of so many lazy college afternoons, the first-ever DVD release of Unplugged in New York will hit online and actual shelves. On November 20th, it’ll be time to break out the flannel.
The new release will feature the complete, unedited 66-minute concert, and if Ron Popeil were here right now he’d tell you that’s not all: The DVD also includes Something In The Way and Oh Me, two performances not aired during the original 44-minute broadcast. But wait, there’s more…if you act now, they’ll throw in five previously unreleased rehearsal performances and MTV News interviews with the band and audience members. Super.
Now as part of our Everybody Wins When I Plug Something And In Return They Offer Me Free Shit To Give Away contest, we’ll send you a free copy of this DVD if you chime in below and answer this query from Lake of Fire, obviously the best track from the evening: Aside from this so-called lake of fire, where do bad folks go when they die if they don’t go to heaven where the angels fly?
If I could enter, I’d guess they go to a cold, secluded room where they’re tag-teamed by the stand-up comedy stylings of Elayne Boosler and Rita Rudner while highlights of Jm J. Bullock‘s best Hollywood Squares jokes run on an A Clockwork Orange-type projector screen in between sets. But I can’t enter, so go get ’em. This contest ends on Friday, November 16th, so sound off early and often…

Lollipops is the latest offering from alt.comedian Patton Oswalt. Hopefully you know Oswalt as the mastermind behind the brilliant Comedians of Comedy – it’s the antithesis of Dane Cook and Blue Collar Comedy, meaning smart and funny. Odds are though you recognize him from his stint on The King of Queens or from this past summer’s Ratatouille – so you may need to forget your G-rated perception of him before settling into stand-up act.
Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival organisers have announced the dates of next year’s event. The 2008 Festival is set to take place April 25-27, spanning three days instead of
As leader of Mott the Hoople, Ian Hunter was as vulnerable as he was acerbic, seeing rock and roll as a metaphor for all facets of the human condition. The perpetually-shaded iconoclast has continued this work through a dozen post-Mott solo albums, the success of which has depended, as is the case with most literate songwriters, on the balance between musicianship/production and the material as means to a message.
A concert will be held to commemorate 10 years since Jeff Buckley‘s death. ‘The 10th Anniversary Los Angeles Birthday Tribute Honoring’ is set to be hosted bu Jack Osbourne and
Opening a two-night stand at this curious Long Island theater in-the-round, Weir and his crew were in satisfaction delivery mode, going for the familiar—Dylan chestnuts, Bob-sung favorites, a few fuzzy psyche-out moments—without taking too many chances until the end. Their opening run from "Shakedown" on was fun, but cursory; it wouldn't be until a slow-burning, wholly dramatic "Loser" that they'd really lock in. Steve Kimock too, was a colorist up until that point, and only keyboardist Jeff Chimenti—absolutely this band's undersung hero—had really grabbed the limelight, leaning barrelhouse for "Minglewood Blues."
Having been promoting reggae in Newcastle for the past two years Boss Sounds is proud to announce its return. The 2007 Boss Sounds festival will launch on the 23rd –
