Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive , Movies While ' The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus' brought together some of the greatest musicians in rock history, the concept was just a bit silly, according Jethro Tull frontman Ian Anderson . "It was a strange atmosphere because it was Mick Jagger 's baby," Anderson tells Spinner. "He and the director, Michael Lindsay-Hogg, they had this vision of what they were going to do. They didn't seem to communicate it to [...]

We respect the work that Spin Magazine does. We respect the good, hardworking journalism that's created in-depth features and profiles, which add to the greater lexicon of music criticism. Plus, they're one of the few that are still around! However, in a move that we find giggle-worthy and that is bound to stir up a storm of annoyed music geeks, the magazine has buried deep into the annals of history and unearthed the truths behind music's greatest myths. The list of 16 ranges from the near blasphemous (Myth: Radiohead can do [...]

Filed under: News , New Music , Exclusive It's been one of pop culture's enduring mysteries: who was Carly Simon referring to in her hit song 'You're So Vain'? Some of the more popular theories over the years have been Simon's ex-husband James Taylor , as well as Mick Jagger and Warren Beatty .

Filed under: News , Exclusive , Television For My Morning Jacket , playing through the pouring rain paid off -- it landed the indie folk-rock act a slot on FOX's ' American Dad .' And we're not talking a three-second "Hello, I'm Mick Jagger " cameo either. MMJ's guest appearance on the series is a full-on episode takeover with the band guest-voicing themselves. The series' co-creator, Mike Barker, dreamed up the idea of the 'My Morning Straightjacket' episode -- [...]

Filed under: The Hit List Perfectly matching a song with a scene is nothing new (see: Scorsese, Martin ), but Wes Anderson takes the movie soundtrack to new levels of artistry. In all his films, the young writer-director displayed a record geek's ability to wow viewers with a song that's not only enjoyable but, at its best, makes a scene instantly memorable. With the release of ' Fantastic Mr. Fox ,' Anderson's first animated feature, Spinner picked the director's 10 best music moments. [...]

In un'intervista rilasciata al Chicago Tribune in occasione dell'uscita del suo libro autobiografico "My life outside the ring", Hulk Hogan , il wrestler più famoso della Terra (e dell'universo, almeno fino alla fascia degli steroidi), dice di essere un discreto bassista e di aver provato, addirittura, ad entrare in pianta stabile nei Rolling Stones e nei Metallica : "Un giorno ero in Inghilterra a presentare un evento assieme a Jerry Hall, la ex di Mick Jagger, e lei mi disse che gli Stones stavano cercando un bassista. Le ho mandato [...]

Yeah, I know I went a little overboard on last Thursday's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame shows at the Garden in NYC. But c'mon, how often do you get all those musical giants together in one room? In one weekend? Listening to each other kick out music you've heard constantly over the last 20-30 years? Well, here's some more from Friday night's show. You can read all the fun backstage scuttlefun here at Vulture. Seems like one of the high points was when U2 segued 'One' [...]

Filed under: News , New Music , Exclusive With the rerelease of two of their landmark albums -- their 1978 debut 'Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!' and their 1980 masterpiece 'Freedom of Choice' -- Devo are reliving many of the memories of what made the early stage of their career so special. Before their debut, the Ohio-born band was riding high with artists like David Bowie -- who nearly produced 'Are We Not Men?' -- and Iggy Pop backing [...]

Normally the reviews on this site strive to be like a review you might read in a newspaper. Objective. Impartial. Unbiased. And, most of all, no first-person! This one’s going to break the mold. By virtue of necessity, it’s both a review of Friday night’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25th Anniversary show and a review of my personal experience at said show. The reason for this break from form is that I got a fre e ticket through the marvelous 1iota.com, a site that gave [...]

Posted on the atu2 blog: Some scattered thoughts and videos from my “cheap seat” view of U2’s set at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25th Anniversary Concert at Madison Square Garden on Friday . Here's one of the videos - U2 performing Stuck In a Moment You Can't Get Out Of with Mick Jagger: The full set U2 played: Vertigo, Magnificent, Because the Night (with Patti Smith, Bruce Springsteen and Roy Bittan - they played this 2.5 times to get it right for the [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News "We're gonna try something dangerous and special," Bono said halfway through U2 's closing set on the second night of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25th anniversary concert. The singer had already brought out Bruce Springsteen and Patti Smith for a version of 'Because The Night,' a song Bono said "we wish we had written." It required two takes, but ultimately proved magical, with Springsteen soloing on guitar as Smith and Bono exhorted [...]

Filed under: News , UK The documents detailing the arrest of two of the Beatles for drugs possession in the 1960s are going under the hammer on Thursday (Oct. 29). The first of the police reports are from the incident when John Lennon 's London flat was raided in 1968 and an amount of cannabis resin was found. Lennon was arrested and given a �150 ($240) fine. The second occasion was from 1969, when fellow Beatle George Harrison was raided while [...]

If I had to guess one Rolling Stones member to be a future fashion designer, I probably would have gone with Mick Jagger . He's hip, he's skinny, he loves to sparkle. Or maybe Keith Richards , with his crazy, headband-based personal style and recent work modeling for Louis Vuitton . But no. It's guitarist Ron Wood who has launched a new line for the chichi British department store Liberty. As NME reports, the musician and the store's creative director have collaborated on "a small, capsule collection made up [...]

Am 21. April 1969 schrieb Mick Jagger einen Brief an Andy Warhol, als Briefing für das Coverdesign von "Sticky Fingers". Das Faksimile gibt Einblick in eine Zeit, als die Musikindustrie noch anders funktioniert hat. (via swissmiss)

“Why D’ya Do It?”—jealous and wrathful—stole the show, suiting her better now than when she recorded it back in 1979. Maybe it was the contrast of seeing Faithfull dressed so quaintly and poised while shouting out, “Whyd ya do it, she said, whyd you let that trash get a hold of your cock, get stoned on my hash ?” That did it. The evening came into miraculous focus during this song. Her fierce snarl danced around the ska-inflected guitar and tore down any notions of artistic comfort to take refuge in. In just a matter of minutes, the whole being [...]

Marianne Faithful looked every bit the consummate professional, even matriarchal, standing under the rays of light at Royce Hall.  Dressed in a lovely blouse and a long black skirt, the first few songs she sang, Dolly Parton’s “Down From Dover” included, were imbued with a classy, smoky jazz quality and a polished shine that made [...]

Filed under: The Hit List Rock is all about selling a persona, and sometimes you have to change more than just your haircut. Whether it's to seem more "real," to appeal to bigger audiences or just for fun, musicians have been rocking altered accents for ages. Here are some of our favorite fakers of dubious dialects. Shania Twain It's a scientific fact that Canadians are virtually indistinguishable from Americans [...]

Filed under: Movies Before the high-rise, high rent buildings and Whole Foods hit New York City's Lower East Side, the neighborhood was a breeding ground for punk, rock and hardcore bands. "You could almost be anybody you wanted to be in the Lower East Side,' filmmaker Clayton Patterson says during the opening scenes of 'Captured,' his documentary about the formerly gritty yet revolutionary scene. In the movie, Patterson -- who immersed himself in his work and the community, and gained enough attention at the time to even design a tour [...]

"Trouble, you can´t fool me, I see you behind that tree..." I wrote a piece about Ry Cooder´s fine cover version of Trouble, You Can´t Fool Me on the Groover´s Paradise blog recently. Check it out, it´s still up. Had to admit I´d never heard the original by an Alabama soulman called Frederick Knight, who recorded it as Trouble for the mighty Stax label back in the early seventies. But I finally managed to track down a copy and it´s easy to see why Cooder picked it. Man, that choppy guitar is funky. [...]
