Morris Day and the complete original lineup of The Time recently released a new album called ‘Condensate,’ but if you missed the news, don’t feel too bad. The album has been released under the banner of “The Original 7ven” due to former Time associate Prince (he of the symbol, artist formerly known as, etc.) letting […]

Unboxing the new Pearl Jam ‘Twenty’ soundtrack
Yeah, I’d love to tell you that this is me, holding a copy of Pearl Jam’s new ‘Twenty’ soundtrack/rarities collection but alas, I’m here with you, waiting not so patiently for my copy. Adam Tutty of Easy Street Records in Seattle, which has long been the official Pearl Jam base for record shopping, pulls a […]
Random Youtube: Journey – Frontiers and Beyond
This is a classic documentary if you haven’t seen it. The doc was briefly available officially in the late ’90s on DVD from Journey before it was pulled without explanation. When I had the chance to interview Neal Schon a short time later, he said (no surprise) that the DVD was pulled due to the […]
Gary Moore
It was sad to read of Gary Moore’s unexpected passing this weekend. I’ve been getting into Gary’s music in recent years via the extensive amount of material that has been issued by Eagle Rock, particularly this 5 CD collection that brings together Gary’s various performances at Montreux through the years (there’s also a nice DVD […]
Still Bill
If you haven’t seen this, you’ll definitely want to check it out. After screening to appreciative audiences over the past year or so, Still Bill finally is headed to DVD and will be released tomorrow with 5.1 surround sound, extras and all of that good stuff. I really should have known more about Bill Withers […]
Reissue News: Yes and Howard Jones
Here’s some news on a couple of exciting reissues that are on the way. A few days ago, I saw a brief blurb that the previously import-only The 12″ Album release from Howard Jones would be getting a U.S. release via Wounded Bird. This made me think of Action Replay, the other EP of 12″ […]
Back From Hell: A Tribute to Sam Kinison
Frankly, with Why Did We Laugh? already on the market, I wasn’t quite sure that the world really needed another “documentary” style film about Sam Kinison. But as a longtime Kinison nut, I had to see it and I’m glad that I did. While the various talking heads (from Denis Leary to Lewis Black) don’t […]
New contender for the best music documentary EVER
Seriously, if you haven’t seen this yet, it’s well worth the $3.99 you’ll spend to rent it at Amazon…and if you notice that I’m missing for a little while, it’s because I’m on my way to pick up the actual DVD so that I can watch the extra 90 minutes of bonus footage that you […]
For Springsteen fans, Christmas comes in November
Leave it to Bruce to make sure that the holidays are just a little bit more special this year with today’s announcement that you can celebrate the legacy of Darkness on The Edge of Town with six (!!!!) discs overflowing with more Darkness related material (three CDs and three DVDs) than we possibly could have […]
DVDs You Probably Need: Nils Lofgren “Cry Tough”
Besides the recent release of Live in Hyde Park, things have been otherwise a bit quiet for Springsteen fans. I’ve been amusing myself, attempting to collect the 2005 Japanese remasters, which are slowly starting to trickle onto the shelves at Half Price Books. So far, I have (at $7.99 a pop) Nebraska, Plugged, Born to […]
