Happy 45th: Eagles, DESPERADO (Article)
Tuesday, April 17, 2018
45 years ago today, the Eagles released their sophomore album, and while it certainly didn’t exactly soar to the top of the charts like, say, the animals that provided the band with its name, it did serve as a cornerstone to the country-rock movement. Produced by Glyn Johns at London’s famed Island Studios, DESPERADO’s origins can be traced to Glenn Frey’s desire to make a concept album, one inspired by a book about gunfighters of the Wild West that Jackson Browne provided when the topic of conversation came up one evening. What was originally planned as a collection of songs about anti-heroes

Single Stories: Aretha Franklin, “Respect” (Article)
Tuesday, April 17, 2018
31 years ago this week, Aretha Franklin found herself atop the Billboard Hot 100 for the second time in her career due to her duet with George Michael, “I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me),” which seems like a good excuse to do a Single Stories piece about the first time she hit that same spot on the pop charts. Recorded at New York City’s Atlantic Records Studio, where it was produced by the legendary Jerry Wexler, “Respect” was, of course, written by Otis Redding, although the song was originally a ballad. It was also originally intended as a song for Speedo Sims and the Singing Demons, but

INTERVIEW: Howard Shore (“The Lord of the Rings”) (Article)
Friday, April 27, 2018
by Will Harris Howard Shore started his music career in Canada, playing in the band Lighthouse and working for in both radio and television for the CBC before making his way to New York, and while he wasn’t ready for prime time when he got there, he did secure a pretty sweet gig, serving as musical director for Saturday Night Live for the first five years of the iconic late-night comedy series. Even as he was doing so, however, he was also beginning to write movie scores, starting with the 1978 film, I Miss You – Hugs & Kisses . Since then, Shore has written scores for more than 80 films, but

Happy 30th: Neil Young & The Bluenotes, THIS NOTE’S FOR YOU (Article)
Wednesday, April 18, 2018
30 years ago this month, Neil Young released his 16th studio album, an LP which found him raging against commercialism while being backed by a horn-laden new band called The Bluenotes. Recorded at Studio Instrument Rentals in Hollywood and co-produced by Young and Niko Bolas, THIS NOTE’S FOR YOU was Young’s first album to appear on Reprise Records since 1981’s RE-AC-TOR. It was also the first of Young’s albums to crack the top 30 of the Canadian Albums chart since 1983’s EVERYBODY’S ROCKIN’, which – and we’re just spitballing here – may be because both that album and THIS NOTE’S FOR YOU were

Friday, April 20, 2018
To many people, The Flaming Lips are one of the most fascinating bands of the past few decades, a musical collective filled with folks who have artistic sensibilities which lean heavily toward the eccentric but haven’t forgotten the value of inserting a catchy pop hook now and then. The end result of melding these things together has been the creation of a back catalog which not only made them Grammy winners, but also – because you knew we were going to make this about us at some point or other, so we might as well get it over with in the first paragraph – has led them to be the subject of
