Bob Lefsetz: Welcome To My World - "WABC All American Survey for Week 15 December 1964" (Article)
Friday, December 19, 2014
1. "Come See About Me" The Supremes My favorite Supremes cut! A Holland-Dozier-Holland composition, it's all about the groove. I distinctly remember dancing to this at the following year's bar mitzvah parties. That's right, some tracks are so rhythmic they incite us to get up from our chairs and ask Nancy or Betty or Jennifer to dance. And it's not about them so much as us. We hold our heads high in the air as we sing along. At least I did! 2. "I Feel Fine" The Beatles The flip side was "She's A Woman," number 7 on this list, and the funny thing is I never dug it back then but it resonates

Digital Roundup: 12/17/2014 (Article)
Wednesday, December 17, 2014
New this week in the Rhino Room at iTunes: J Mascis, Martin + Me: By the time J Mascis finally got around to releasing his first album under his own name in 1996, many critics – most of them old-school Dinosaur Jr. fans – were muttering, “You might as well,” since the band’s most recent album, 1994’s Without a Sound, found Mascis as the sole founding member remaining in the ranks. (As it happens, it was also their most commercially successful album up to that point.) Whether it’s because he was toying with the idea of doing away with band name altogether or just because he felt like it, Martin

Happy Anniversary: Debbie Gibson, “Only in My Dreams” (Article)
Tuesday, December 16, 2014
28 years ago today, Debbie Gibson released her first single, a self-composed track which ultimately climbed all the way to the #4 spot on the Billboard Hot 100. Not too bad for a 16-year-old, eh? “Only in My Dreams” was written by Gibson in 1984, two years before she actually recorded it for her debut album, Out of the Blue, but when she spoke to Rhino earlier this year, she was quick to credit her producer for taking her composition and making it such a success. “Fred Zarr, who produced and co-produced all those hits with me, he took what I was doing in my garage on the four-track and

New this week in the Rhino Room at iTunes: Thompson Twins, “Bombers in the Sky,” “Come Inside,” “Come Inside/The Saint,” “Groove On,” “Play with Me (Jane),” “Play with Me (Jane)/The Saint,” “Sugar Daddy,” and “The Saint”: You may recall how, a few months back, we chatted with Tom Bailey about how Thompson Twins’ final two studio albums, Big Trash and Queer, had been added to our digital catalog at long last, but now we’ve got eight – count ‘em – eight new additions that’ll make fans of the Twins kick up their heels and get ready to hit the dancefloor. Whether you need them all will depend on

Doing a 180: Otis Redding, The Dock of the Bay (Article)
Tuesday, December 9, 2014
Wow, we’re getting the strangest sense of déjà vu all of a sudden… Yes, that’s right: yesterday our Mono Mondays release was Otis Redding’s The Dock of the Day, and today we’re issuing the very same album on 180-gram vinyl. As such, what can we tell you – besides, of course, that it’s going to sound staggeringly good when you give it a spin – that we didn’t cover in our previous piece on this classic effort? Well, first of all, although we tackled the fact that Redding co-wrote the title track with Steve Cropper, we didn’t really get into the fact that Redding helped composed several other

Rhino Factoids: Graham Nash Departs The Hollies (Article)
Monday, December 8, 2014
46 years ago today, Graham Nash left a sweet gig with one of the great British pop groups of the ‘60s, partly due to creative frustration but mostly because he’d experienced a harmonic epiphany which convinced him that his future lay not with Allan Clarke and Tony Hicks but with David Crosby and Stephen Stills. Initially after forming The Hollies with Clarke in 1962, Nash was fine and well with doing cover songs with the group, as that’s what most groups were doing at the time, and as they moved forward into recording material by outside songwriters like Graham Gouldman (“Bus Stop”), that was

Rhino Comedy Hour #4: It’s Don Rickles, You Hockey Puck! (Article)
Friday, November 28, 2014
This week’s installment of the Rhino Comedy Hour shines the spotlight on the big bald head of the man who’s so widely known as an insult comic that his grinning mug is literally the only picture that’s included on the Wikipedia page for “insult comedy.” Talk about defining a genre… Don Rickles may not owe his entire career to Frank Sinatra, but it’s well documented that the Chairman of the Board went to see Rickles when he was performing at a Miami nightclub and found him so hysterical that he went out of his way to tell as many of his famous friends as possible to go see Rickles’ act.

Have a Holly, Jolly Spotify Holiday with a Chance to Win a $1,000 VISA Gift Card (Article)
Wednesday, November 26, 2014
Some merchants would have you believe that it was acceptable to start playing holiday music ages ago – like, say, when your kids were still trying to shop for their Halloween costumes – but most people are likely to roll their eyes at you if you break out Michael Bublé’s Christmas at any point prior to the last week of November. Actually, they might still roll their eyes at you, what with these kids today, but that’s neither here nor there, especially when we’ve given this piece a subject line that’s currently making you want to scream, “BUT WHAT ABOUT THE $1,000 VISA GIFT CARD?!?” Hey, glad
