Artist: The Cars

Lollapalooza celebrated its twentieth anniversary in Chicago over the weekend with headline performances by Eminem, Foo Fighters, Coldplay, and Muse. It was the support acts, however, that really excited us. So like he did at Bonnaroo , our tireless photog/artist wrangler Graeme Flegenheimer (with help from The Impossible Project ) distributed Polaroid cameras and film to 23 bands - 24 if you count Eminem, who dropped out at the last minute (I forgive him) - to capture exclusive behind-the-scenes moments. The snaps reveal how our favorite bands passed the hours in Grant Park, from shotgunning beers [...]

Two different methods could address Kris Delmhorst 's mash note to the Cars: (1) comparing it with the originals, and (2) taking it on face value, as an experience unto itself. More or less, I'm stuck with the second approach. I never thought that much of the Cars. Back in the day, to me and many of my truly "alternative" friends, the Cars smacked of a more mainstream pop music that exploited the true New Wave more than it satisfied any craving for mayhem, oddity, and/or meaty rock. As realized by Television, Patti Smith, the Talking Heads and Lene [...]

I feared the big crowds at Lollapalooza, had no interest or desire to be stuck in the middle of tens of thousands of drunk and sweaty people. I got over that fear and decided to make the most of it, all culminating in Foo Fighters closing set on Sunday night. After a torrential downpour caused Lollapalooza to come to a halt in the early evening (at least it did on the south end of the park, delaying the Arctic Monkeys set), there was some question about whether or not the Foo Fighters would even have time [...]

Arctic Monkeys Perform at Lollapalooza 2011 The final day of Lollapalooza was just as eventful and memorable as the first two days. The day featured outstanding performances by The Joy Formidable, Titus Andronicus, Fences and The Pains of Being Pure at Heart. While veteran band The Cars played a solid setlist, their stage presence could've been used a sliver of energy as demonstrated by Cage The Elephant and Arctic Monkeys. Cold War Kids held their own in the headlining slot that pitted the Southern California band against fellow L.A. musicians Foo Fighters and [...]

It's Lollapalooza time again in the fine city of Chicago. We'll be there checking out the following bands and think you should too. Young the Giant – 1:00PM – Bud Light Stage With stadium-sized, anthemic songs like "My Body", Young the Giant are sure to bring the rock early at this year's Lolla. If that's not your kind of thing, though, their softer edge is equally impressive with more melancholic tunes fit for swaying. [...]

It's too big, very expensive and full of douchebags. But this year's sold-out Lollapalooza also includes a great mix of shows over three days. Here's the ATYP guide to recommended sets. Girl Talk , Friday. This will be a big party thrown by the mashup master. The throngs will be either at one of the big stages to see Coldplay or Muse . But this show will be more fun. Death from Above 1979 , Saturday. This late afternoon show features the [...]

Lollapalooza is back with a line-up that's full of up-and-coming local acts, legitimate buzz bands, arena rockers and a few head scratchers. So, we here at Loud Loop figured you might need some help deciding which bands to check out and which to avoid. And of course you know the headliners, so we won't waste your time on those. Instead, these are our picks for can't-miss acts those other eight hours this Friday, Saturday and Sunday... FRIDAY, AUGUST 5 [...]

Los Angeles Times (MCT) -- LOS ANGELES - For a long time in rock 'n' roll, musicians who allowed their music to be used in advertising risked sullying their artistic credibility. Nobody, however, ever said anything against getting musical inspiration from a TV commercial, which is how veteran singer-songwriter John Hiatt came up with one of the songs on his 20th studio album, "Dirty Jeans and Mudslide Hymns," released Tuesday. "I'm as influenced by popular culture as the next guy,"...

I have nothing to say. Scratch that.. I have a lot to say about how awesome this vehicle is.. I just don't want to waste any more seconds of my life typing instead of working or else I may never be able to afford toys like this. -daNk

Feels a little weird to be calling this the 20th anniversary of Lollapalooza even though the festival did make it's debut in 1991. There was a period of inactivity and the reformatting of the concept, going from a traveling alternative rock circus to an annual 3-day festival in Chicago that features many mainstream acts. That being said, there's plenty to see this coming weekend at Grant Park. Last week I spotlighted two lesser known acts performing this year - Midnight Conspiracy and Kyle Lucas & Captain Midnite over on Lollapalooza.com . [...]

This is a record that is sweeping and involving until the end.

The Cars have released the official music video for their new single " Free ". The track is off the group's first LP since 1987's Door to Door .

'Cars' (2006) // Words: Saam Das (Click to read Ced's review of 'Cars 2' ) SYNOPSIS: "Animated adventure from Pixar. After becoming stranded in a small town, an arrogant rookie sports car (voiced by Owen Wilson ) finds love and discovers the meaning of friendship." (bbc.co.uk) Is the worst that Pixar offers still better than the rest? That's a question you have to ask with 'Cars' (and its sequel [...]

Prior to this year's Move Like This , The Cars ' last album was 19872s Door to Door . Back then, music videos involved Mötley Crüe at a strip club or an overly dramatic Madonna . And while things have thankfully changed for the better, the band are continuing to keep it simple with the basic "life on the road/concert footage" concept for the music video for "Free". Shot during the band's recent 11-date North American tour , the clip sees Ric Ocasek and the boys doing what they [...]
