What the Foo? Tony Joe White Turns Up on ‘Late Night’ (Article)
Thursday, October 16, 2014
It’s been buzzed about for several days now that Foo Fighters would be spending a full week as the musical guests on CBS’s The Late Show with David Letterman, but we were as surprised as anyone when we found out that Dave Grohl and the gang would be bringing a few friends along for the ride, including the one and only Tony Joe White. Last night, White joined forces with the Foos for a scorching version of his signature song, “Polk Salad Annie,” which hit #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 back in 1968, and if “Annie” has ever shown her age in the past, she sure didn’t last night. We wouldn’t be

New this week in the Rhino Room at iTunes: Sister Sledge, The Studio Album Collection: 1975 – 1985: You know them for their hit singles, of course, but beyond “We Are Family,” “He’s the Greatest Dancer,” and the like, Sister Sledge had some solid album tracks as well, and now’s your chance to get into the grooves of all eight of the group’s efforts between ’75 and ’85.

Aquarium Drunkard Presents: Big Star & Beyond (Article)
Tuesday, October 14, 2014
Last year’s Big Star documentary, Nothing Can Hurt Me, is now streaming over at Netflix…which I’ll use, here, as an excuse to highlight both the group and solo work of Chilton and Bell. If nothing went right for Big Star during their formative years in the early-mid ‘70s (bad distribution, zero management, internal creative strife), in terms of their legacy, it’s all came out golden in the end. As evidenced in the moving, sad and celebratory documentary, the band has touched many diverse lives, personally and professionally. If there’s a power pop heaven, you know they’ve got a hell of a band

Interview: Greg Dulli on Afghan Whigs’ Gentlemen at 21 (Article)
Friday, October 10, 2014
On October 5, 1993, the band Afghan Whigs, who’d self-released their debut album, 1988’s Big Top Halloween, and then came of age with a pair of albums on Sub Pop Records (1990’s Up in It and 1992’s Congregation), finally made the jump to the big leagues – and a major label – with the release of Gentlemen on Elektra Records. Most bands would’ve used the 20th anniversary of an album as an opportunity to celebrate its legacy, but not Afghan Whigs: they waited a year, hence the October 28 release of Gentlemen at 21, an expanded reissue of Gentlemen which will feature the original album as you

Happy Anniversary: Devo, Shout (Article)
Thursday, October 9, 2014
30 years ago today, Devo released Shout, an album which – in addition to playing like an unofficial love letter to the Fairlight CMI – fared poorly with both critics and consumers, resulting in the band going on hiatus for the better part of half a decade. Given that Shout made it to #83 on the Billboard Top 200, it certainly can’t be called a complete flop, but neither of the album’s two singles – “Here to Go” and “Are U Experienced?” – managed to chart in the US or the UK (although the former did just barely go top-40 in Australia), but it’s still surprising that, in an environment where

Digital Roundup: 10/8/14 (Article)
Wednesday, October 8, 2014
New this week in the Rhino Room at iTunes: Gary Wright, The Very Best of Gary Wright / The WB Years: 1975-1981: Well, as it happens, we’ve only got two new additions to the digital catalog this week, and they’re both by Gary Wright, so let’s tackle The Very Best of Gary Wright first, shall we? Regrettably, it’s not the same collection as 1998’s Best of Gary Wright: The Dream Weaver, which is currently out of print, but it’s still a solid sampling of Wright’s tenure on Warner Brothers, kicking off with four selections from the first – and unquestionably the most famous – album during his stint

Now Available: Ice-T’s Greatest Hits and some vinyl reissues, too (Article)

Ice-T - Greatest Hits Ice-T - Greatest Hits Ice-T - Rhyme Pays Vinyl Ice-T - Power Vinyl Body Count - Vinyl When O.G. Original Gangster celebrated its anniversary back in May, we kidded about how some folks out there only know Ice-T for his work as a thespian, but it’s definitely one of those jokes that’s funny because it’s kind of true: although old school rap aficionados remember the impact his music made when he first started dropping records in the mid-1980s, his material isn’t exactly the sort of thing you hear in regular rotation on your local radio station, so it’s actually all too easy
