We haven't put up one of these in a while, so here you go. The list below shows all books published so far in the 33 1/3 series, in descending order of sales revenue (not units sold). Things are very tight between no.2 and no.9, so those positions could change a lot over the next few months. And kudos to the Elliott Smith and Brian Eno books, both of which have made very quick starts. (As always, bear...
Join me for an evening of Tom Waits to celebrate his 60th birthday. Tales of circus folk, pyromaniac husbands and an assortment of other odd characters.

The group filmed their promotional video for ‘Treat Me Like Your Mother’ in California and because the clip sees them using firearms, they had to reassure a nearby jail of their plans every day. Singer Alison Mosshart said: “We were in this strange patch of land that was by row housing and a women’s prison. So [...]
baby dolls should have that stamped on them instead of "made in china." found this one outside my door monday morning. creepy!! Captain Beefheart " Rock 'N Roll's Evil Doll"
For a moment, I thought Deer Tick was doing more with its new EP, More Fuel for the Fire , than offering a stop-gap between albums. After opener "La La La" faded out on iTunes (the only way to get the EP at the moment), a slinky guitar came in and the rhythm section sounded like something out of an early Santana track. What was this? Then came the vocals, which found John J. McCauley sounding...
'We had to call the women's prison every morning and tell them we were going to start firing guns,' Alison Mosshart says of the clip. By James Montgomery The Dead Weather's Alison Mosshart and Jack White Photo: MTV News Some of us here in the MTV Newsroom have already recognized the brilliance that is the Dead Weather's "Treat Me Like Your Mother" video , four-plus minutes of stray bullets...
Gary Lucas is a modern guitar miracle, an alchemical soloist with monster technique and a rare collaborative touch. He is especially good with master voices; his work with Captain Beefheart and the late Jeff Buckley is a master lesson in aggressive invention and supportive electricity. That empathy is half the pleasure of Lucas’ Indo-blues venture, [...]
mp3: Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band - Diddy Wah Diddy mp3: Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band - Who Do You Think You're Fooling I was thrilled to receive this record in the post the other day. Excuse the vinyl nerdiness but I feel compelled to tell you that it's a US promo copy, first pressing -- as demonstrated by the incorrect songwriting credit on the Diddy Wah Diddy side. I bought it from...
Sure there has been much more done by Califone before and after this and I have yet to hear it all, but King Heron is still my favorite. (a bit dissapointed in 'Guilded Splinters' though) Highlights..."Heron King Blves" and Sawtooth Sung A Cheater's Song". Pitchfork review; Califone return in short sentence with an all new recording Heron King Blues, which comes fresh on the heels of...
In continuing the search for footage of various classics on YouTube, I found this here gem of Captain Beefheart performing "Upon the My Oh My" on the Old Grey Whistle Test . It also features a quality Aldous Huxley/vacuum cleaner sales anecdote. According to other parts of the internet, Virgin originally released "Upon the My Oh My" on a 1975 dsampler, V , although it was supposed...
I thought it would be fun to see if I can get from A to Z using the artists that I have on my MP3 player (a 20Gb Archos) – so here goes… Ayler (Albert) Beck Captain Beefheart Dylan (Bob) Eels Faust Grateful Dead Harper (Roy) Incredible String Band Jethro Tull Kesey (Ken) Led Zeppelin Misty [...]
There’s a method to the madness, I tell ya. The blog ran a contest a couple of weeks ago, asking our readers what they’d like to see more of. A sort of suggestion box or comment card. A common theme was “shorter reviews.” Alright then, I’ll try to keep the brevity rocking hard on this [...]
The Raincoats For all its claims to be revolutionary, punk was at least as sexist and patriarchal as the society it nominally attacked and the music it despised. Consequently, much punk rock is just another branch on the rock family tree. Instead, some of the most inventive music was made by bands fighting musical, cultural and gender stereotypes, key among them being the Slits, Kleenex and the Raincoats....
