Only Jim Morrison could create controversy nearly four full decades after his death. Sam Bernett, who managed the Rock and Roll Circus nightclub in Paris, just released a book in
It’s Uncle Neddy’s mix tape time, so let’s all gather ’round the campfire and listen to what our main man has in store for us this week… Another completely, 100

This album ranks high along with the band's late 80's and early 90's efforts, bolstered by the producing efforts of Steve Lillywhite and the guitar of Johnny Marr on several tracks.
Paul McCartney recently released Memory Almost Full to virtual rimjobs from both his fans and the critics. The new album has also achieved serious commercial success, as it debuted at #3 on the U.S. charts. I grew up on McCartney’s music, and I’ve always been a huge fan of his solo catalog.
When I was 15 years old I couldn’t get enough of the guy, and I persuaded my mom to bring me to Giants Stadium for a McCartney concert. Besides the weird look on both of our faces when everyone around us started smoking pot, that was one of the best concerts I ever saw, and I’ve seen him play twice since then.
But enough about me, let’s get back to McCartney’s solo catalog. Everyone knows about Band On The Run, Maybe I’m Amazed, and Live and Let Die; but, McCartney had a number of minor hits that have kinda been forgotten about. This week’s B List takes a look at 10 underrated songs from Paul McCartney’s solo career. Read on after the jump for a full list and YouTube videos for each one…
We’ve always warned people not to get involved in drum circles in the lots. It’s lame, it’s cheesy, and unless you’ve got a head full of nitrous, it’s overrated noise.
With the release of their debut album, Trading Daylight for Twilight, the Los Angeles-based quintet, Great Northern has created a unique brand of intimate modern pop music consisting of ethereal and expansive melodies.
Memory Man has its heightened moments, however the majority of the 11 tracks simply feel like they are muffled under water. Breakout hits “Something to Believe In” and “Outside” are what keeps Memory Man alive.
We like to celebrate anniversaries around here…and we’ll do so right now. Seven years ago today, The Phish from Vermont migrated to Indiana to provide some dirty wooks and prep-school
Scotty B’s got more on his plate than a Vegas buffet patron, so we’ve asked our good friend Some Dude from Hits From The Blog to regale us with a little tale…
Monday provided us with one of those patented unwelcome, sweltering summer days in New York City, where late-afternoon temperatures were still pulsing around the 90-degree mark, making everyone a little bit more irritable and the thought of being outside for more then a few moments unthinkable.
These days are unavoidable in a city where the heat doesn’t seem to dissipate, in a metropolis filled with huge skyscrapers and millions of people constantly on the move. But really, does it matter when you’re off to Central Park SummerStage, one of the most serene places to see a show in Manhattan? You can barely tell you’re in the city that doesn’t sleep when you wander into its tree-lined entrance.
The bill was tailor-made for live music fans on a night like this — part musician, part mad scientist Keller Williams opening for one his musical heroes and a godfather of the jam scene, Bob Weir & his RatDog cronies. It’s not the summer in these parts ’til a member a the Dead rolls through town: what used to be multi-nights for Jerry & Co. at Giants Stadium playing to 80,000 plus was now condensed to one night, to just a few thousand lucky fans, with the ticketless wandering fingers held high outside still able to hear every note.
