Butch Walker's list of production and writing credits is about a mile long. Working with artists like Avril Lavigne, Fall Out Boy, and Pink, Walker has established a reputation (which includes Rolling Stone's 2005 Producer of the Year) that has allowed him to pursue his own career as a solo artist. His latest release, Sycamore Meadows , is named after the street in Malibu where Walker's house and studio (including all of his master recordings) were destroyed by wildfires last November. The album is a poignant and introspective collection of tunes, several of which address the [...]
Butch Walker - The Weight of Her Butch Walker - Ships in a Bottle Alright, I'll admit it. When I was 14, I was obsessed with Marvelous 3. They were one of the first good rock bands that I discovered on my own, not just passed on to me from my parents or my older brother, like all of the other bands I liked. I went to all of their shows, I had a "Marvelous 3 wall" (a collage I made of all of the pictures [...]
Filed under: Songs , Full CD Listening Parties Spinner.com : According to Butch Walker, he and Pink are not only drinking buddies and motorbike riding partners, but the two pop troubadours are also inclined to write hit songs together. This is exactly what happened when the singer-producer and Grammy-winning... Read more
Sorry for the delay folks... we continue Bond week with today's post that features four films, three Bonds. Between 1969 and 1973, moviegoers saw three different faces of James Bond: George Lazenby, "the one-off" Australian Bond; Sean Connery, who was coaxed back for one more go (money!); and Roger Moore, who would go on to star as Bond for the next 12 years and 7 films. On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) Erik Borelius - On Her Majesty's Secret Service [...]

Subtle stars mark week #46 of 2008. Outside of Sweden's Love Is All , the rest of our artists this week have toned things down. Philadelphia's own Denison Witmer comes out with their folk/acoustic sounds with Carry The Weight . They are currently touring the East Coast at the moment. DW, PA loves ya but as your MySpace fans keep saying, Austin and the Midwest need some of that love. Really catching our attention this week are Longwave and The Postmarks . [...]
Nearly anyone who's had their had their hand in the music industry in the last ten years is familiar with Butch Walker . The Atlanta-bred jack-of-all-musical-trades has been clawing his way to notoriety since his teens and coming up on his 39th birthday, he's not even close to stopping now. Popwreckoning's own Joshua got the chance to chat with him recently and he had some fantastic insight to offer on all that he's done. Starting in the hair-glam days of the early nineties, Butch first burst on the scene as the guitarist for Southgang [...]

Georgia-born singer/songwriter Butch Walker is something of a paradox. Over his decade-plus career, he's found moderate success as a member of the punk-pop outfit Marvelous 3 and as a producer whose credits include the likes of Bowling for Soup , Avril Lavigne , and current left-field novelty Katy Perry . Yet while he undeniably plays well with others, one can argue that his best work can be found in his solo output, which ironically has failed to make him a household name. After three albums across just as many major labels, Walker is [...]
Video: Butch Walker "Ships in a Bottle" Butch Walker has a new record titled " Sycamore Meadows " out November 11th. Watch the video for single " Ships In A Bottle " which documents Butch walking on the grounds of his home in Southern California after it was destroyed by the wildfires of November last year.
Well, who knew? Apparently Butch Walker is an avid reader of HAD - enough so that he made mention of yesterday's post at his show last night. We suppose he's right that we haven't really heard his other records, but the "hipster douchebag" thing? You've got us all wrong Butch: hipsters won't even talk to us! But we digress... Last night's show was a solo affair for Butch Walker. Walker played a mix of piano, guitar, and what appeared to be a Fender [...]
We wouldn't typically go for this type of thing: Butch Walker , producer of Avril Lavigne, Pink, and Lindsay Lohan, has decided to release solo album after losing his home in the LA fires. It seems laden with cliche, overly self indulgent, and just plain outside of our typical realm of interest. But here's the rub: Butch Walker's actually quite interesting. For one, he owns therecordbusinessisfucked.com . What's more, despite all of his major-label cache, he's releasing his record independently, and attempting to work outside the system. It was enough to get us [...]

Despite some rain late Thursday night, the weather in Chicago's Grant Park was perfect for this year's 2008 Lollapalooza festival. A nice breeze off the lake made this the perfect weekend to host the excellent and diverse lineup of music. The park was kept in pristine conditions as crews constantly walked around encouraging recycling and [...]
Say It Ain't So Butch! Rock Star/Producer Butch Walker has canceled his 2008 Summer Tour with Jesse Malin . In a very non-descriptive message to his fans Butch apologized for the sudden cancelation just hours ago, citing personal reasons for the end of the summer tour. The dates were to kick off in just days and take the roadshow around the US. Jesse Malin was to share the bill - making this one of the most promising tours of the summer. Walker is reportedly near completion [...]

Thought I'd take a break from working on my new website/artproject/lifestylech oice 79-Day Maury to wish you and yours (mostly yours) a happy Valentine's Day. Here is my favorite Valentine's Day song ever: Luna - Slash Your Tires (mp3) ( buy ) (So happy it comes from a time before anyone would have been tempted to use the title "LOLZyrtirez." That would totally undermine its wholesome holiday spirit.) Have never been a big fan of the band, but the undersell works so well here. I somehow wound [...]
I'm not sure why a modern day 18-year old would fantasize in the form of the video for Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again," but it certainly made for nice promos for last night's episode of The O.C. Ryan is falling for Taylor, and visualizes her all Tawny Kitaen-like in his mind , but instead of to Whitesnake, the sequences are to the song "Hot Girls in Good Moods" by Butch Walker (which itself is an homage to T. Rex's "20th Century Boy." ) [...]
