Spinal Tap have released a new film portraying the band travelling to Stonehenge for the first time. ‘Stonehenge: ‘Tis A Magic Place’, a seven-minute short, features all three Spinal Tap
Over the last 15+ years as a Phish fan I’ve been treated to some magical experiences and last night’s concert is near the top of the list. One of Phish
The HT family has grown a bit over the course of the year, so we couldn’t fit everyone on the deck for last week’s BBQ. We had to have the rest of the gang over this week for part two of our discussion of the Best Albums Of The ’00s. So, we headed back to the store to pick up a variety of our favorite grillable food stuffs and a few cases of Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPAs for another rousing edition of At The Barbecue.
As we mentioned last week, the rules are quite simple. Any album released between January of 2000 and December of 2009 (though we’re not quite there yet) are fair game. So let’s not waste anymore time and jump right into our second installment…
Jeffrey Greenblatt: The Strokes – Is This It?
Over the last ten years I can easily say I’ve consumed more music than I ever have. So, with the scores of albums that went through my Discman (remember those kids?) and have been loaded onto two separate iPods this decade, there have been plenty that were easily forgettable, but only a true handful that have, and will, stand up to repeated listens for the years to come.

Sad as it may be, the passing of Labor Day weekend means for all intents and purposes one thing: Summer is officially over. The leaves are changing; school is session; and the NFL’s on Fox. But before you all go running off to buy your school supplies, pack away your casual Friday wardrobes, and cross the “t” on your crappy fantasy team names, there is one last summer rite of passage we almost forgot to mention: Mr. Blotto’s Blottopia Ten.
Ever since we started up the Cover Wars feature here at Hidden Track, the self-contained jamband from Chicagoland has emerged nearly unbeatable, winning not only a number of individual song challenges, but the whole shebang in the Cover Wars March Madness tournament as well. Hence, when their proprietary festival at Vasa Park in Elgin, IL rolls around every summer, we always like to check in to see what went down, particularly to hone in on the big day-two encore, the album performance.
A festive first day kicked things off, which included the tradition of opening with last year’s closing song, in this case Peter Today, an original tune which pays respects to both Peter Tosh and to last year’s cover album, Babylon by Bus.
