Digital Roundup: 10/1/2014 (Article)
Wednesday, October 1, 2014
New this week in the Rhino Room at iTunes: Amon Düül II, Hijack/ Made in Germany: One of the seminal bands of the so-called Krautrock movement of the ‘70s, Amon Düül II never made much of an impact in the States, but at least with Hijack there’s a good excuse: it’s not all that great an album. Still, it does open with a pretty great number (“I Can’t Wait, Pts. 1 & 2”), close with one that’s somewhat silly but still highly entertaining (“Argy the Robot”) and somewhere between the two there’s a enjoyable unique cover of Ornette Coleman’s “Lonely Woman.” If you’re only going to get one of these

Celebrity Playlist: Adam F. Goldberg, creator of The Goldbergs (Article)
Tuesday, September 30, 2014
Last week, we celebrated the return of ABC’s The Goldbergs for its sophomore season with a Celebrity Playlist from Sean Giambrone, a.k.a. Adam Goldberg, and although we’d had the idea to reach out to someone from the series well before we knew anything about the plot of the season premiere, it couldn’t have been more thematically appropriate: in the episode, Adam follows up on the momentous occasion of his first kiss with Dana Caldwell, played by Natalie Alyn Lind, by creating a mixtape to express exactly how he feels about her. But here’s the thing about The Goldbergs: quite a lot of the

Doing a 180: Joni Mitchell and The Notting Hillbillies (Article)
Monday, September 29, 2014
As our effort to reissue classic albums on 180-gram vinyl continues ever onward, we’re bringing you two very different albums this week: one’s a unique blend of folk, rock, and jazz from a singer-songwriter who’s never been afraid to challenge audiences, while the other is a country-inspired side project from the man who once sang of “Sultans of Swing.” Joni Mitchell, Hejira: Originally released in November 1976, Mitchell wrote the majority of this album while on a car trip from Maine to Los Angeles, hence the inclusions of songs with titles like “Blue Motel Room” and “Refuge of the Roads.”

COMING SOON: THE MONKEES’ SELF-TITLED DEBUT GETS A SUPER DELUXE EDITION (Article)
Monday, September 29, 2014
Monkees fans, it’s time to stop singing “This Doesn’t Seem To Be My Day.” We know you’ve been chomping at the bit to find out more specifics about the so-called super deluxe edition of the Monkees’ self-titled debut ever since our pal Andrew Sandoval acknowledged its impending arrival during the band’s official convention earlier this year, but your long wait is at an end: you’re finally getting all the details on the three-disc, 100-track set. If you’ve ever owned a copy of The Monkees in the past, then you’ll obviously recognize the first 24 tracks on Disc 1, a.k.a. the original mono and

Digital Roundup: 9/24/2014 (Article)
Wednesday, September 24, 2014
New this week in the Rhino Room at iTunes: Echo & The Bunnymen, Reverberation: Yes, diehard Bunnymen fans, your long wait is over: Reverberation, the lone album recorded by the band during the brief period when Ian McCulloch had decamped and Noel Burke had replaced him at the microphone, has finally been added to our digital catalog. Although the album is easily the most obscure album in the Bunnymen’s back catalog, the lone single from the record, “Enlighten Me,” did actually hit #8 on Billboard’s Modern Rock chart. The problem at hand, though, was that Burke, God love him, was no McCulloch

Aquarium Drunkard Presents: September Jukebox 2 (Article)
Monday, September 22, 2014
As I type this, 2,700 miles from my home in Los Angeles, the talking head on the television is reporting that the Autumnal equinox brings the fall season to the Northern Hemisphere tonight, September 22nd. And while I can assure you that summer heat rages on back in Los Angeles, and will continue for another few weeks (at least), for this week's playlist I'll play along. Kicking off with Henri Texier's "Les Labas" we immediately dive into Rahsaan Roland Kirk's "Black Root" before heading to Zambia with Amanaz's "Khala My Friend." Up next is Wendell Stuart and the Downbeaters incredibly soulful

Mono Mondays: Ornette Coleman, The Shape of Jazz to Come (Article)
Monday, September 22, 2014
It hasn’t been so terribly long ago that we shined the spotlight on this week’s Mono Monday release, but since it’s such a classic jazz album that it’s actually enshrined in the National Recording Registry, you could do a lot worse than reading about Ornette Coleman’s The Shape of Jazz to Come a second time. Since we wrote that initial piece, however, there’s been a rather depressing development: on July 11, Coleman’s bassist on the album, the legendary Charlie Haden, passed away at the age of 76. Back in 2006, Haden was interviewed by the television series Democracy Now! about various aspects

Rhino Historic Tours: No Nukes (Article)
Friday, September 19, 2014
Back in early June – on the 6th, to be precise – we took a look back at the anniversary of Peace Sunday, an huge concert at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena where over 85,000 turned up to listen to music and, at least theoretically, to promote nuclear disarmament as well. If you go back and check out the piece, you’ll see that the bill featured a pretty impressive lineup, but while the show was undeniably done in an effort to draw attention to an important matter, it’s fair to say that its success was seriously outshined by the far-higher profile event which kicked off 35 years ago today.

Happy Anniversary: The Waterboys, This Is The Sea (Article)
Tuesday, September 16, 2014
29 years ago today, The Waterboys released the album that their leader, Mike Scott, has called “the record on which I achieved all my youthful musical ambitions,” but we’d sum it up thusly: on the band’s first two albums, you saw the crescent, but with This Is The Sea, you saw the whole of the moon. Mick Fitzsimmons of the BBC once wrote that This Is The Sea “may well be listed in the dictionary under the word epic,” and it’s a fair cop: The Waterboys’ self-titled debut was good, their sophomore effort, A Pagan Place, definitely didn’t see the band suffering any sort of slump, but it’s this
