Wednesday, October 29, 2014
New this week in the Rhino Room at iTunes: Today’s Digital Roundup consists of a trio of soundtracks – one from the ‘60s, two from the ‘70s – by two masters of movie music, and since both guys are pretty great in their own right, we’ll do things the only fair way and start off alphabetically. Lalo Schifrin, Boulevard Nights – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack: The first of two efforts by the great Lalo Schifrin, a man who secured street cred with jazz fans in the ‘50s and ‘60s by working with guys like Dizzy Gillespie and Xavier Cugat but earned pop culture immortality in 1966 by writing the

Happy Anniversary: Pet Shop Boys, “West End Girls” (Article)
Tuesday, October 28, 2014
29 years ago today, the Pet Shop Boys released their debut single...again. If you’re at all familiar with the origins of Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe and how they came to join forces and become the Pet Shop Boys, then you may already know this story, but during the duo’s earliest days, they crossed the pond and recorded the better part of a dozen songs with famed producer Bobby Orlando in New York. On April 9, 1984, “West End Girls” saw its initial release on Bobcat Records, and while it wasn’t a huge hit by any stretch of the imagination, it nonetheless became a club hit in L.A. and San

Now Available: Afghan Whigs, Gentlemen at 21 (Article)
Tuesday, October 28, 2014
We’ve been teasing it for awhile – most notably within our interview with Greg Dulli a few weeks ago – but at last it’s finally here: Gentlemen at 21, a reissue of the 1993 album which, in addition to taking the Afghan Whigs from the indie-rock ranks and giving them a chance to enjoy the major-label lifestyle, is also one of the strongest efforts in the band’s back catalog. As you might expect, this reissue includes the original 11 tracks from Gentlemen, all newly remastered, but you also get a variety of rare B-sides, live performances, and – here’s the bit that’ll really excite the fans –

Wednesday, October 22, 2014
New this week in the Rhino Room at iTunes: Slipknot, The Studio Album Collection 1999-2008: For most of the time between 2008 and 2014, it would’ve been considered a sucker’s bet to expect the band Slipknot to regroup for the long haul, let alone return to the studio. Not that it hadn’t been discussed here and there, but in the wake of bassist Paul Gray’s death in 2010, the band’s solidity wasn’t exactly at its highest ebb, and given the departure of drummer Joey Jordison from their ranks last year, it was beginning to seem as though the likelihood of the band completing the long-threatened

Yes, The Hollies have put out best-of compilations before, but in addition to the fact that you can’t really blame a band for wanting to celebrate
