On This Day in 1987: Morrissey Goes Solo (Article)
Tuesday, September 12, 2017
30 years ago today, New Musical Express ran an article bearing the headline “GOODBYE, SMITHS” which effectively served as the kick-off of Morrissey’s career as a solo artist. “The Smiths are dead,” began the article, just in case the headline hadn’t successfully all of the band’s fans into fits of weeping. “After weeks of speculation about a replacement for Johnny Marr, NME discovered at the weekend that Morrissey intends to record under his own name in the future.” Although Morrissey himself wasn’t quoted within the piece, his spokesperson, Pat Bellis, had plenty to say on his behalf

Happy 45th: Yes, CLOSE TO THE EDGE (Article)
Wednesday, September 13, 2017
45 years ago today, Yes released their fifth studio album, an effort which proved to be their most commercially-successful LP up to that point in their career. Recorded at Advision Studios in London, CLOSE TO THE EDGE was – like THE YES ALBUM and FRAGILE before it – co-produced by the band and Eddie Offord, who’d also been keeping busy by engineering albums for Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Offord’s goal was to capture the brilliance of the band’s best live performances within a studio setting, going so far as to have Yes’s road crew construct a stage in the studio on which the band would play

In Stores Tomorrow: Dr. John, THE ATCO ALBUMS COLLECTION (Article)
Thursday, September 14, 2017
If you’re someone who enjoys a good bayou boogaloo (providing that boogalooing is legal in your particular bayou, of course) and you live outside the U.S., then you’ll be pleased to learn that, come tomorrow, you’ll be able to pick up a copy of Dr. John’s THE ATCO ALBUMS COLLECTION. If you're in the U.S., you can grab it digitally. And don’t worry about the fact that Atlantic Records president Ahmet Ertegun once gazed upon Dr. John’s debut album, GRIS-GRIS, and asked, “How can we market this boogaloo crap?” It’s nearly 50 years later, and Dr. John is a music legend. Does anything else even

The One after the Big One: Madonna, LIKE A PRAYER (Article)
Thursday, September 28, 2017
Today's press- and fame-seeking celebrities (be they a Cyrus, Minaj, Kardashian or a Real Housewife from somewhere) have got nothing— nothing—on Madonna, circa 1989. Madonna could make headlines without even trying, just by being seen in public with (or without) her famous soon-to-be-ex-husband (Sean Penn); she could command a then-whopping $5 million to star in a Pepsi campaign built around the lead single off her fourth album; she could then be removed from that campaign (but keep her $5 million) by sexualizing the statue of a saint and dancing in front of burning crosses in a video for that

Make It a Double: Fleetwood Mac, TUSK (Article)
Thursday, September 21, 2017
What to do after you make an inescapable album—one that spent nearly eight months at Number One, sold a kajillion copies and basically made you the biggest band in the U.S., if not the world? You make one that sounds just like it, right? That's what most folks would do—it's understandable. Take another scoop from the same well. Another bite of the same veggie burger. Another hike up the same hill overlooking Laurel Canyon. Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham would have none of that. For the follow-up to 1977's RUMOURS, he subjected his bandmates to all manner of sonic whackery, from drumming on

Make it a Double: Chicago, CHICAGO (Article)
Thursday, October 5, 2017
It stands to reason that a band with the audacity to release a double album as its debut would likewise have the audacity to follow that debut … with another double album. That was early Chicago, though. With no fewer than five songwriters in the band, one might expect there to be a bounty of material from which to select for recording. What stands out on their second record, though, is not the number of songs, nor their length, but the range of material—similar to the range on the first album, but this time around the compositions are deeper, more resonant. Take James Pankow's seven-part

Now Available: Sepultura, ROOTS: EXPANDED EDITIONS (Article)
Friday, November 3, 2017
Say what you will about Friday the 13th being a bad luck day, but it worked out pretty well for Sepultura fans, as that’s when we released the deluxe edition of the band’s 1993 LP, CHAOS A.D. When we did so, we forewarned you that it wouldn’t be the last deluxe edition you’d see of a Sepultura album in the near future, and we’re happy to say that today’s the day that we bring you another one. As fans know, the band’s 1996 album ROOTS was deeply influenced by Brazilian rhythms, which is sonically evident on tracks like “Itsári” and “Ratamahatta,” and it’s clear from the sales figures that
