It’s been more than 25 years since Jann Wenner completed the machinations which resulted in the creation of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame concept that took tangible form in 1995 when the I.M. Pei designed building opened its doors in Cleveland, Ohio. At its inception, the entire concept seemed ripe with possibilities and existed as a truly inspired focal point for acknowledging the musicians that invented, innovated and propelled rock and roll. Initially, the choices for induction hardly needed qualification; the initial class that included Chuck Berry, Presley">Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly and Little Richard was followed up quickly by classes that brought The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Otis Redding and The Who into its then-fictional hallowed halls. With artists becoming eligible 25 years from the date of their first release, the ’90s and most of the ’00s saw many classic rock stalwarts like Elton John, The Grateful Dead and The Allman Brothers Band receive their rightful ...

Moguai remixes "Lyme" which will be released on April 30th ahead of new EP collaboration with Trash">Tommy Trash.

Moguai had a phenominal start of 2012 with his critically acclaimed ‘MPIRE’. The self titled, second track from Mpire topped the charts of beatport and forced people to take notice. Already a quarter of the way into the year, Moguai has given us a preview of a much euphoric update for the original track ‘Lyme’. The German producer packs a much welcoming big room feel while still keeping with the breaks and dynamics from the original with two exception: LONGER … →

We’ve looked at his work before, first a batch of songs from 1978, then a batch from his 2000 solo acoustic tour. This time around, we are looking at selections from 1976, the year his first record, [...]

“How fucking dare you call during my quiet hour?!” is how Doug Stanhope answers the phone when I call for our interview. I am terrified. The famously foul-mouthed American comedian is on his tour bus, en route to another show as part of his lengthy UK tour this month, and I am interrupting. Of course, he's joking. “Naw, I'm just being a dick.” Instantly, a switch flips, and I'm talking to the nicest guy on earth. In the brief time we get to talk, he's courteous and helpful, and even though our conversation is rife with ...

Even back then, I could tell. There may not be many people around who remember Peter Accident and the Duck Revolution , but I do.  Most importantly, I remember the spiky-haired, freakazoid guitarist, sliding across the stage on his knees at the High School Talent Show, shredding away on his Telecaster to some homemade punk song far in excess of the limited talents of the band around him.  That was Chuck Prophet .  And even then, I could tell. Walking through the halls of high school, it was apparent that Chuck wouldn’t be long for our small town.  I don’t ...

So, this season of Californication has been eventful, to say the least. We’ve seen Hank return to the City of Angels for a new gig as a screenwriter, this time for Samurai Apocalypse (RZA), who has a strong penchant for hip hop, guns, and a beautiful woman named Kali. And of course, Hank happens to be sleeping with her behind his back. Hank has to also deal with his daughter Becca’s new boyfriend, who never seems to go away, as well as Karen’s rocky marriage to her former college professor Bates, who has a drinking problem and ...

About 15 months ago Widespread Panic keyboardist JoJo Hermann sent the group’s fanbase into a tizzy when he told a Vanderbilt University student paper reporter that after the band celebrated their 25th anniversary that they would “call it (quits) for a while.” Over the past year or so we’ve learned that the members of Panic plan to take about a year off and the anniversary celebration spilled into 2012 for Panic en la Playa and the all-acoustic Wood Tour. Last night at the Belly Up in Aspen, Colorado Widespread Panic concluded this era of their career with a ...
