Happy 30th: Julian Lennon, “Stick Around” (Article)
Thursday, March 3, 2016
30 years ago today, Julian Lennon released “Stick Around,” the first single from his second album, earning a top-40 hit, a #1 Mainstream Rock track, and the immediate ire of critics who were sharpening their knives for the “sophomore slump”-themed reviews they’d already started writing in their heads. As it happens, Lennon himself didn’t entire disagree with those critics…or if he did then, he hasn’t in recent years: when chatting with Popdose in conjunction with the promotion of his most recent album, 2011’s Everything Changes, he didn’t hesitate to explain both his position on The Secret

Happy Anniversary: Bad Company, Burnin’ Sky (Article)
Thursday, March 3, 2016
39 years ago today, Bad Company released their fourth LP, an effort which found the band putting another album into the top 20 of Billboard’s Top 200 Albums chart but is remembered by Company members more as the point where they realized just how badly they needed to take a break. Burnin’ Sky was received pretty well when it first hit record store shelves, with Rolling Stone offering the compliment that the album featured “a crisp, streamlined sound and a noticeable softening of the band's synthetic macho posing.” (No, really, that’s intended as a compliment.) The title track was the album’s

Now Available: Phil Collins, Hello, I Must Be Going! / Dance Into the Light – Deluxe Editions (Article)
Friday, February 26, 2016
Last month, Phil Collins began the process of giving his fans a gift that’s been 35 years in the making: the deluxe reissuing and remastering of his back catalog of solo albums. Inevitably, the first round of reissues kicked off with the album that’s hitting the big 3-5 this year, 1981’s Face Value, but it was released simultaneously with one of Collins’ more underrated efforts, 1993’s Both Sides. Today, round two begins, and the offerings will be just as exciting for fans as the first bunch proved to be. First, there’s Hello, I Must Be Going, Collins’ 1982 sophomore album, which found him a

Now Available: Bowie at the BEEB and Five Years’ individual albums (Article)
Friday, February 26, 2016
The stars have looked very different since January 10, and even though it’s been almost two months since David Bowie left the capsule and stepped through the door, as it were, the sensation of loss still remains significant. (For proof, you need look no farther than the speeches given by Annie Lennox and Gary Oldman during the BRIT Awards’ tribute to Bowie on February 24. Both of them sounded very much like they were on the verge of tears at various points.) Thankfully, if there’s one way that mourning Bowie fans can consistently find solace, it’s by listening to the music he left behind. Even

Doing a 180: Jethro Tull, Hawkwind, Duran Duran, and Morrissey (Article)
Tuesday, February 23, 2016
Rhino has made it a point to reissue classic albums on 180-gram vinyl on a regular basis. These are the latest to get that treatment. You're welcome. Jethro Tull, Living in the Past (1972): This 2-LP compilation may share its title with a single released by the band in 1969, but it covers a wide variety of material from Tull's career up through 1972, and, if you feel that you can trust AllMusic.com, it's “seminal and essential to any Tull collection, and the only compilation by the group that is a must-own.” The song titles may not all ring a bell, but the music is top-notch from start to

Happy Anniversary: Damn Yankees, Damn Yankees (Article)
Monday, February 22, 2016
16 years ago today, Jack Blades, Michael Cartellone, Ted Nugent, and Tommy Shaw released their debut album as Damn Yankees. The idea of putting Nugent together with the lead singer of Night Ranger and the guitarist/vocalist from Styx emerged from the mind of John Kalodner, a gentleman who is well-known in the industry for his A&R savvy. “I think I had dinner with Jack Blades, or maybe Tommy Shaw, and for some reason I got in this mindset,” Kalodner told Ultimate Classic Rock in 2015. “I knew Ted Nugent well and he wasn't really doing anything. Night Ranger wasn't really doing anything, and

Happy 20th: Moby, Animal Rights (Article)
Thursday, February 11, 2016
20 years ago today, Moby went punk for the second time in his musical career, but this time he did it in the most polite way possible: when he delivered his fourth album to the masses in 1996, he pointedly included a line at the bottom of the credits which read, “Please listen to Animal Rights in its entirety at least once.” Richard Melville Hall - yes, if you're wondering, he took his stage name from the title of a book by the man who's apparently his great-great-great-granduncle, Herman Melville - started his music career in 1982, serving as guitarist in a hardcore band called The Vatican

This Day in 1972: Enter Ziggy Stardust (Article)
Wednesday, February 10, 2016
44 years ago today, a handful of very lucky individuals in a London pub called the Toby Jug were witness to the first proper performance of a man who really sang - and with screwed-up eyes and screwed-down hair-do, no less - and, lest we forget, he also played guitar. As History.com wrote when they explored the first documented live appearance of David Bowie in his Ziggy Stardust guise, “It was one of those events that virtually nobody witnessed yet many wish they had,” likening it to a moment like John Lennon meeting Paul McCartney, where no one knew how important it was going to be until

Happy Anniversary: Van Halen, Van Halen (Article)
Wednesday, February 10, 2016
38 years ago today, David Lee Roth, Michael Anthony, and a pair of brothers named Eddie and Alex released their first full-length album as Van Halen. The cover art for the band's self-titled debut consisted of four photographs - one of each member - taken at the Whiskey a Go-Go, the iconic Los Angeles nightclub that served as a regular haunt for Van Halen during their early years. But we know: you're much more interested in learning something about all of the amazing music that's going on inside that cover. Eddie discussed the process of recording the Van Halen album in considerable depth with
