The conference entitled Unbroken Chain: The Grateful Dead in Music, Culture and Memory, “Will bring together more than fifty presenters for twenty panel sessions ranging from music composition and […]
Yeah the tickets were expensive and maybe you didn’t even get in the lottery door but now at least you might win tickets thanks to VH1.
VH1 is giving away tickets to the upcoming concert (sure to be legendary) and entering is as easy as filling out their online form.
Two (2) tickets to the Tribute […]
This celebration of music, taking place November 7th at the Beacon Theater is in honor of both Bob Dylan and Todd Haynes’ creation/movie event I’m Not There.
The film opens on the 21st of November but the music is starting early on the 7th when 16 various artists will come together in true style of the […]
Music of interest that is…
September is such a busy month that I hardly know where to start. Of course we just wrapped up Farm Aid but that doesn’t mean that there’s not Farm Aid stuff still a happening.
The best news (obviously) is that my favorite girl Joni has her new album Shine coming out on […]
In August I posted encouraging folks to attend Farm Aid; but it’s not a realistic for everyone who wants to attend to get to go. I know it wasn’t for me. Luckily there are some ways to participate and see and hear what you may have missed September 9th at Farm Aid.

Harper combination of acoustic folk, blues, funk, soul and rock echoes the sounds of the of the 60s and 70s and yet somehow is completely unique. NPR mentions Harper as a lesson in genre transcendence and that’s a great description.

Sort of bootlegs; more like concert albums and only for some Australian shows — still with me? Still, despite the current limitations Live Band is shaping up to what looks like a stellar idea.
Lauren at Oz Music Scene clued me in to this new endeavor. If it expands, it’ll be big I suspect. The idea […]
That’s right it’s mostly official — Led Zeppelin is getting together for a memorial concert in honor of Ahmet Ertegun, the founder of Atlantic Records who died in December 2006. So, the memorial concert is a tad late. But it’s Led flippin’ Zeppelin; they can come late to whatever party they choose I believe.
Now the […]
On Sunday, September 9 at Randall’s Island in New York City, Farm Aid 2007 will be jamming all day long.
The line-up has some winners and a few I wouldn’t be interested in, but it does seem like this year they really tried hard to find a little something for all music fans. They’ve got Dave […]
Not literally. That would be, well…odd.
Last week, Canada Post released a brand new postage stamp featuring great Canadian musicians, including (obviously) Joni Mitchell. Personally, I think Mitchell warrants her own entire book of stamps, possibly more than one.
But alas, she’s sharing the spotlight. Thankfully she’s sharing it with some other greats in the biz — […]
