VH1 Classic features plenty of Queen-related programs this weekend in a tribute to Freddie Mercury. Take your pick from a Classic Albums episode about A Night at the Opera, a
Check out the music video for the second track from Scottish indie pop act Camera Obscura’s fantastic fourth album, My Maudlin Career. Not to be confused with the U2 song
Seven-time Grammy Award winning musician, John Mayer, will perform at the Beacon Theatre on Tuesday, November 17 at 9pm to celebrate the release of Battle Studies, his first studio album
The overall simplicity of approach within Si o Si may be the key: their ideas, whether structured or spontaneous, constitute the crystallization of their individual and collective experience within this group and without (each member has extensive history and current work outside this ensemble). Put this on "Best of 2009' list now!
If the point of the night was to get the whole crowd to dance to the peak of heavy sweat and exhaustion, the Biscuits accomplished the goal.
There really has been no shortage of Bob Dylan news these days. Earlier this week, Zimmy dropped his oddly enjoyable holiday album Christmas In the Heart. Now comes news that
Last Week’s Sauce is a recurring column featuring recordings of shows from the previous week. Thanks to tgaikdis for this week’s photo.
This week I wanted to add a theme to the selections as I did when we did an All-Bonnaroo edition. Last week ScottyB ran a great list of touring jambands that didn’t make it out of the 2000’s.

Every review I’ve read of Umphrey’s McGee’s first Stew Art concert in Milwaukee was positively glowing. Yesterday, the band posted a four minute video to their blog that shows just
When Phish posted 99 possible albums on Phish.com – of which one would ultimately be chosen as the Halloween Costume set – it seemed they nailed all the usual suspects and some not-so-usual ones as well. A closer look at the proposed records shows they may have missed a few.
While those listed below would by no means guarantee a selection had they been included, it was a bit surprising and sad to see a few left off the list. I mean, couldn’t they at least given us the chance to have our hopes and dreams crushed when these artists got the axe?
1. Paul Simon
One of the biggest names in music inexplicably left off the list. Where’s Graceland or Rhythm of the Saints? Is Ladysmith Black Mambazo not available? [ed. note – they were not available] Sure the albums would be no easy feats to pull off, but I always considered that part of the fun.
