The B List: 10 Rock Autobiographies We’d Lov ..Now more than ever aging rockstars are signing on with publishing houses to pen memoirs about their sex, drugs and rock and roll-soaked lives. Last week Gregg Allman’s My Cross To Bear came out and yesterday we found out that Grateful Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann has a new tome in the works . With that in mind, we’ve compiled a list of ten rock autobiographies we’d like to see. For the purposes of this list, we’re avoiding rock autobiographies that are already in the works. In addition to the aforementioned Billy K. memoir, both Robbie Robertson and ...Hidden Track11 May 2012

Music: Music Review: Aaron Freeman: Marvelou ..As one of half of Ween , Freeman">Aaron Freeman is expected to do the unexpected. But even by Gene Ween’s adventurous standards, Marvelous Clouds is a curveball. Freeman’s first solo record pays tribute to Rod McKuen, a songwriter, artist, and poet who became a big star in the ’60s when his compositions were covered by Frank Sinatra, Johnny Cash , and scores of other artists. McKuen’s star has since faded; Freeman hadn’t even heard of him when producer Ben Vaughn pitched the idea of doing a record of his songs. But even more surprising than the source ...The A.V.

Music: Interview: Aaron Freeman of Ween talk ..For years, Mickey “ Dean Ween ” Melchiondo was the unofficial spokesman for Ween , the twisted ’90s alt-rock duo that evolved over two decades from recording sick pop songs on four-track machines to headlining rock festivals as one of the finest live groups of its era. Melchiondo’s partner Aaron “Gene Ween” Freeman rarely spoke to the press, and when he did, he could be surly and uncommunicative. But The A.V. Club spoke with a much different Freeman recently, when he called us from a drug rehabilitation facility in Arizona. Sounding relaxed and excited about his future, Freeman had already been ...The A.V. Club2 May 2012

GROSS MAGIC: TEEN JAMZ EPThe singing, plot twists, arrangements and wistfulness of this wonderfully inventive five-song revelation prove that Sam McGarrigle, the one-man band behind the project, could go in any direction he wants. And in fact, some of these songs do evoke the Pixies, Flaming Lips, Suede, Ween, even John Lennon. But there is no DOUBT that Barry Blue's "Hot Shot" and the hits of the Velvet Tinmine soundtrack loom even larger in McGarrigle's consciousness, and the title track alone could out-glitter anything thrown at a Republican during this rough primary season.L.A.

Mac DeMarco: Rock And Roll Night ClubMac DeMarco Rock And Roll Night Club Captured Tracks Records [2012] Fire Note Says: A fun lo-fi romp thru the twisted pop mind of Mac DeMarco! Album Review: Did you ever wonder what it would sound like if Ween and Deerhunter got together and covered Lou Reed's Transformer [1972] ? Neither did I, but then I heard this new EP (12 tracks in just under 32 minutes) from Mac DeMarco, and I was convinced that it was entirely possible. DeMarco knows how to write a catchy hook, and he has a croon as smooth as honey. He also knows how ...The Fire Note20 April 2012
