Talking Heads tribute band Psycho Killers will perform the setlist from the famed Stop Making Sense movie in honor of its 30th anniversary. The band will partner with Devon Bryant, a visual artist out of Boston, to recreate the images portrayed in the film. Soohan, a Baltimore based DJ, will open the show with a set comprised of 80s/Talking Heads inspired songs.
For much of 1987 and ’88, Tom Petty‘s career seemed to be stuck in a holding pattern, but his work with the Traveling Wilburys signaled a creative and commercial rebound — one that really shifted into high gear with the release of his first solo LP, ‘Full Moon Fever,’ on April 24, 1989.
Phish made their return to the Crescent City with their first Jazz Fest show since 1996. The first set saw a relaxed, well-rehearsed band tear through a selection of familiar cuts such as the opening “Kill Devil Falls,” “The Moma Dance,” “Rift” and “Wolfman’s Brother” before Page McConnell (who performed with The Meter Men the night before) serenaded the crowd on “Lawn Boy.” Trey Anastasio dedicated the song to the people of Jazz Fest and McConnell reiterated Anastasio’s previous sentiment on how special it was to return to New Orleans.
That's the Way of the World is a 1975 album by Earth, Wind & Fire released on Columbia Records. It was also the soundtrack for a 1975 motion picture of the same name which featured several of the band members in cameo roles. Included on the album was the single "Shining Star", which was a #1 U.S.pop and R&B hit. Another popular single was the title track, which reached #12 on the pop chart. The album spent three weeks atop the Billboard Pop Albums Charts, five nonconsecutive weeks atop the Soul Albums chart.
That's the Way of the World was also the third best-selling pop album and the number one best-selling R&B album of 1975 respectively and has been certified triple platinum in the U.S by the RIAA.
Former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante will appear on Duran Duran’s forthcoming album. The band made confirmed the rumors earlier this week with a post on their website, which reads: We were holding this exciting news because we were hoping to give you full details when we announced, but as word has leaked out, catching us rather off guard, we wanted to confirm… yes it’s true, the extraordinarily talented John Frusciante has indeed been doing some work from his home base in California on our new album. The tracks have been going back and forth via the internet, and we are thrilled with the results. We are all such big fans of John’s work and are honoured to have him adding his magic to the record! There are no current plans for John to tour with us, but his guitars sound incredible on the tracks. Hoping to have more news for you soon. - Simon, John, Nick & Roger
It’s safe to assume anybody who has been entrenched in any kind of specific music subculture (from pop-punk to hardcore to death metal to sheer painful abrasive noise and beyond), has a significant collection of vinyl records—or painfully covets all those people who actually do. Yeah, yeah, we can discuss the merits of compact disc digital audio versus needle-in-the-groove playback until the day comes when we’re directly interfacing our fetid noggins with our fave sounds like we’re a veritable Johnny Mnemonic society. But despite the lip service that is sometimes given toward the beloved format, this writer appreciates the size, the characteristics and the literature (graphics, credits etc) that accompanies a vinyl record. And you should, too. Because you can’t put your arms around an MP3 or FLAC file. Please follow the link to read Jason Pettigrew's full article on Alternative Press
