OST: "Rushmore"

Wes Anderson, whatever his other faults as a filmmaker -- and I, for one, would argue that they're plentiful -- has developed a justified reputation as a consummate crafter of motion picture soundtracks. Unlike other directors who simply leave it to the judgment of whoever's writing the score to make sure sound and vision are properly attuned, with a complementary mood and tone, Anderson personally supervises the selection of the music that goes into his films, painstakingly matching existing

The Who - Cousin Kevin

Tommy [Cousin Kevin:] Were on our own cousin, all alone cousin. Let’s think of a game to play Now the grownups have all gone away. You won’t be much fun being blind deaf and dumb But I’ve no one to play with today. D’you know how to play hide and seek? To find me it would [...]

Desert Island Discs: Dan Wilson and Hugo Burnham

Dan Wilson (Trip Shakespeare, Semisonic, solo artist) Okay Darren, here are my picks! I’m sure if I thought about it more I’d only come up with a bunch more bonus picks, so I’m sticking to these. Joni Mitchell’s Hejira album. If it were one song I’d say “Hejira” — there’s something so heartbreaking about Jaco Pastorius’ bass melodies intertwining with Joni’s lyrics. And the song is about love, travel, the temporary fixes of modern life, and the quest for something lasting. What more could

Glitter removed from wall of fame

The name of disgraced paedophile glam rocker Gary Glitter has been removed from a celebrated wall of fame. Glitter flew back to Britain in August after serving a three-year Vietnamese prison term for molesting two girls. The bald, bearded 63-year-old, whose real name is Paul Gadd, fell from grace in 1999 after he was locked up for downloading child porn. Now, his name has been erased from history on the wall of the Cavern Club in Liverpool. The external club wall - in the city's famous

List ‘Em Carefully: Top 10 Live Albums

The live experience is the culmination of every music fans being. Getting up close (if you can) and personal for your favorite artist is always a once in a lifetime experience, no matter where you are. The stage also provides a place for those bands to let lose, be themselves, and show their paying audience what they are made of. The moments are priceless for those that attend, and can become the envy of those that don’t. For the many that can not make it however, there is a remedy. In fact, m

DVD preview: 'The Who at Kilburn: 1977'

Like so many of my generation, I have some milestone memories of the Who.Back in 1966, the band had just released its second album, known Stateside as "Happy Jack." The Who weren't all that well known, having only the "My Generation" hit, and so were booked into our local teen club, Code 1 in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. I was able to plop my elbows on the platform stage, immediately to the left of Pete Townshend, who said hi. I nodded real cool like but was too shy to ask about his upcoming "rock op

Slideshow: The Who at the Verizon Center

Pete Townshend didn’t duck-walk on Monday night.  He didn’t curse, or smash his guitar, or clock Abbie Hoffman in the back of the head.  In fact, he didn’t do anything of which your mother wouldn’t approve. Which isn’t to say that the Who in its current incarnation lacks vim, vigor, or even cheek…just that the guys who came to prominence as purveyors of auto-destructive art now seem more intent on self-preservation. Townshend was the star of the evening—his voice gruff, his guitar crisp, hi

THE WHO LIVE AT KILBURN: 1977, rating - A+

WOW!Ok, just reviewed this 2 disc DVD and have lots to say about it. First off, as you know I typically give away the CDs and DVDs that are so kindly provided to me be various media companies - but I am KEEPING THIS ONE!The footage of this concert, The Who at Kilburn: 1977, has been stashed away in the vaults for thirty years but was re-mastered incredibly well. You can find a few clips on You Tube from this performance, but the quality is poor. On the second disc in this set is unseen footag

Set list: The Who at Nokia Theatre

The Who’s brief U.S. tour wrapped up in Los Angeles this weekend with two shows at Nokia Theatre, the smallest local venue they’ve played in years. And while they’re still sorta touring in support of Endless Wire, their most recent album of new material, compared to their previous stops in Los Angeles they’ve pared back the new tunes — just two on Saturday — and filled out the set with a career-spanning collection of hits. (They also threw in a few that don’t get played that often, including “

Writing today from the Baltimore Bioneers conference, where the WHO Farm bus (which I just wrote about yesterday) pulled up this morning — small world! If you’re in Baltimore this weekend, you should swing by (though the bus pulls out tonight). For the rest of you, see if your city is hosting a satellite conference — now here comes the news. A fairer frappuccino Starbucks has announced their intentions to double their purchases of fair trade coffee next year, and shoot to reach 100% fair trade

Pete Townsend - Won't Get Fooled Again

The Rolling Stones :: Rock & Roll Circus (1968)

“You are about to be transported to another age: swinging London in the late 60’s. The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus is a time capsule. Two days in December 1968 that in many ways capture the spontaneity, aspirations and communal spirit of an entire era. …for a brief moment it seemed that rock ‘n’ roll would inherit the earth.” Indeed possibly one of my very first WTF moments. Watching and getting acquainted with The Rolling Stones for the first time at the age of 16, watching all th

A Funny Thing Happened...

Written by Myrlia Purcell Scarlett Johansson was among the incredible list of stars showing their support at the Michael J.

Along with her husband, Ryan Reynolds (who recently ran the NYC Marathon for Fox’s foundation), Johansson joined Michael J. Fox, Elizabeth Berkley, Martin Scorsese and Ben Stiller at the New York event. A performance by The Who ensured that the evening rocked as guests mingled and ra

Bands at Woodstock ‘69

Among the many myths about Woodstock that have endured with the general public for nearly 40 years: That the famed music festival was actually held in Woodstock, N.Y. Originally, the town was supposed to host the event, but backed out when rumors spread predicting a much larger than expected turnout. As a result, the show moved to an alfalfa field in Bethel, about 40 miles away, and the rest is…well, history. In all, 32 acts appeared over the course of the four day event, held August 15-18, 1
