Happy Birthday: Dennis Drew of 10,000 Maniacs (Article)
Friday, August 8, 2014
If you went to college at any point during the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, then you’ll most likely want to wish a happy birthday to Dennis Drew, keyboardist for 10,000 Maniacs, whose one of only two members – the other being bassist Steve Gustafson – who’s been fighting the good musical fight with the band since the very beginning. Born in Jamestown, New York, in 1957, Drew was actually part of 10,000 Maniacs before they were even called 10,000 Maniacs: when he, Gustafson, drummer Chet Cardinale, guitarist Robert Buck, and singer Teri Newhouse started the group in 1981, it was called Still Life

Once Upon a Time in the Top Spot: Madonna, “This Used To Be My Playground” (Article)
Friday, August 8, 2014
22 years ago today, Madonna hit the top of the Billboard Hot 100 with a song which, despite serving as the theme song for A League of Their Own (even if licensing restrictions ultimately kept it off the soundtrack), has continued a slow slide into semi-obscurity for reasons which we’ll get into a minute. “This Used To Be My Playground” was a co-write between Madonna, Shep Pettibone, and – although he’s not actually credited on the track – Tony Shimkin, who also had a hand in composing seven of the 14 songs on Madonna’s 1992 album, Erotica, including the singles “Deeper and Deeper,” “Bad Girl,”

Wednesday, August 6, 2014
New this week in the Rhino Room at iTunes: Chic & Aristofreeks, Le Freak Remixes EP: Who or what is Aristofreeks? Well, to quote directly from their SoundCloud profile, “Aristofreeks is the name of the funky beast that comprises DMC mixing championship finalist Max Martire and the internationally renowned musical chameleon Lenny Ibizarre.” If you’re questioning if these upstarts have got the goods to remix such a classic song, then you’ll be interested to learn that they’re contributing to a new single, “Everybody Get On Up,” by Next Step, a group consisting of former Chic singers Norma-Jean

Once Upon a Time in the Top Spot: Prince and the Revolution, Purple Rain (Article)
Monday, August 4, 2014
Remember back on June 25 when we celebrated the 30th anniversary of the release of Prince and the Revolution’s Purple Rain? Well, given what a seminal record it is – not just in Prince’s back catalog, but in popular music, period – we figured it was also worth noting another of the album’s anniversaries, specifically the one which takes place today: the 30th anniversary of when it first ascended to the uppermost spot of the Billboard Top 200. It might be surprising to some of you that there were several weeks between Purple Rain’s release and when it hit #1, but there are two very important

Happy Anniversary: Cilla Black, “It’s for You” (Article)
Thursday, July 31, 2014
50 years ago today, Cilla Black released “It’s for You,” the second of three tunes that John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote and passed along to her rather than recording them as Beatles songs. In his book The Unreleased Beatles: Music and Film, Richie Unterberger observed that “Love of the Loved,” the first of the Lennon/McCartney tracks compositions gifted to Black, “was something of a clean-out-the-closet throwaway,” but the same couldn’t be said of “It’s for You,” which – per no less of an authority than Sir Paul himself (in Barry Miles’ Many Years from Now) – was written specifically for
