The Saturday Night Rebel Rockers Traveling Circus & Medicine Show starring Counting Crows, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Augustana

Barrett King — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 14:40:55 UT

Featuring the Counting Crows, Michael Franti and Spearhead, and Augustana, this last stop of the traveling show treated revelers to a format unusual to most. Advertised ticket prices were rather shocking, but those who paid the price of admission were treated to three hours of locked-in performing, the entertainers having spent the better part of the summer together.

Barrett King — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 00:01:30 UT

If you haven't been to Golden West, it's a great place for breakfast and beer (breakfast is served all hours of the day, so don't judge). You'll also run into a lot of Baltimore's music makers, both working and hanging out.

An Introduction To The Philosophy of Metal

Barrett King — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 00:47:52 UT

This is armchair philosophy, the sort of stuff that presents itself in small, fleeting bursts of inspiration. Indulge your author, share your comments, and let's see if we can start a logical analysis of the philosophical issues that underly our mutual passion for music.

Hip Hop Rising: Jay-Z Dishes Up "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)"

Barrett King — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 15:00:50 UT

Stepping up the promo for his upcoming (on a leak website near you!)Blueprint 3

, Jay-Z has released the street single for "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)". Can't give Hov full credit for taking a stand against the abused and overused effect, since Kanye West gets a production credit on this track.

Pulling Teeth - Paranoid Delusions/Paradise Illusions

Barrett King — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 20:34:07 UT

Less bluntly hardcore and more edgily metallic, Paranoid Delusions/Paradise Illusions is not what you'd expect by way of a follow up to 2008's Martyr Immortal. But where that album showed the group's hardcore leanings, Paranoid Delusions/Paradise Illusions shows a lot more metal.

Worn Free Clothes You In Rock 'n Roll History

Barrett King — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 15:43:00 UT

What a great idea, to be able to buy things like Kurt Cobain's Olympia Beer shirt or a precise reproduction of John Lennon's "Working Class Hero" tee. These shirts allow fans and collectors to add an additional layer to their already expansive stacks of LPs, CDs and MP3s. Each shirt comes with a hang-tag that tells the history of the image that graces it.
