Here's news: Juliette Lewis kicks some major ass. But you probably already knew that. So, let's move on to some other news, like the fact that Juliette Lewis is super popular. After all, she's hanging out with everyone from The Mars Volta's Omar Rodríguez-López to The Pretenders and Cat Power these days. Details, you ask? Well, the hang out time with Rodríguez-López began back in 2007 at the Fuji Rock Festival in Japan. As the story, or press release goes, the two "soon bonded over their love of [...]

Another in an ever-expanding lineup of artists scheduled to play the Zoo this summer.
Two weeks in China! Oh, the amazing things we have seen-and eaten! Mr. Folkie's daughter, the Professional Foreigner (see link to her blog under Favorites), has been our indispensible companion. We traveled hundreds of miles by train because Mr. Folkie wanted to see pandas (you can have your photo taken with one on your lap if you want) and eat Sichuan food in Sichuan. We bought tickets for sleeping compartments on our train trips. I can't tell you how exciting it is to wake up on a train and find views like people working the rice [...]
The Pretenders: Brass In Pocket [ Purchase ] Brass is a metal alloy consisting of copper and zinc, but within this song it's a synonym for money. Indeed, brass and other copper alloys, were often used in making coins in ancient times. This #1 hit from 1980 features Chrissy Hynde singing about all the things she has going for her and why she's going to make you notice her...she's special.
The Pretenders perform "Don't Lose Faith In Me" and "Don't Cut Your Hair" on the May 19 episode of Later... with Jools Holland.

The one constant member of the group over the years has been the group's lead singer, rhythm guitarist and songwriter, Chrissie Hynde. She hails from Akron, Ohio, and was a student at Kent State University when the [...]
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY MOM. I LOVE YOU. THIS SONG IS FOR YOU, AND ALL THE MOTHERS OUT THERE. EVERY SUNDAY I'M SERVING theBREAKFAST JAM OF THE DAY. THE PRETENDERS - I CALL IT LOVE 1974
This week I've been holed up in my basement, quarantined with what I have dubbed the Swine Cold. Armed with a Kleenex box and the remote, I became a couch potato, soaking in "Law & Order" reruns and, oddly enough, "Charmed." I know. It came on after "Law & Order" and I didn't have the strength to change the channel. But one of the episodes featured the Pretenders' "Human," from their 1999 album Viva El Amor. It was the first time I had heard this song, but I immediately took a liking to it. [...]
[via] night truths by stephen dunn I've known an edginess, come evening, when I haven't chosen to be alone, but am, the necessity of music, the implacable silence of the telephone, when my faith is faith in the provisional, wild,...
I remember Chrissie Hynde from her days writing for the NME (New Musical Express - UK weekly publication) back in the mid 1970's . It was only a matter of time before her musical ambitions came to fruition, and after a couple of false starts, she eventually surfaced in late 1978 with a very up and ready band called The Pretenders . Their debut album remains a firm favorite of mine, it has that timeless feel that great songs and albums have, no logical reason and maybe just a state of [...]
The hidden shame of a mis-heard lyrics is revealed.
Elvis Costello and the Attractions – Beyond Belief The Pretenders – Back on the Chain Gang The B-52's – Private Idaho Elvis Costello's "Beyond Belief" was the opening song of his 1982 album "Imperial Bedroom". The Pitchfork book discussed how he was feeling too old for rock, and tired of the scene he was in. You can tell - this really isn't one of his best songs. I'm really not sure why it's in the list, especially when there's some great music that didn't make it (like Grandaddy. Or something by A [...]
Chrissie Hynde really does Radiohead justice with The Pretenders cover of Creep . Damn the hiss in the video. We FINALLY got this version today and it's one of our favorite covers. Hynde sounds fantastic.
I was doing some blog browsing recently when I came across a project that truly inspired me to think long and hard. The project is called '1000 minutes' and it has been created by the boys over at Tympanogram . The writers of the blog, Andy and Dave have started an ongoing list project in which they choose 1000 minutes worth of tracks they would fill an mp3 player with if they were stuck on a desert island with only that to listen to. The rules are simple, they're not with each other, so they can't share [...]
Pearl Jam re-issue their seminal album 'Ten' on Monday. One of the bonus tracks from the re-issue 'Brother' is proving to be a huge radio hit in the US. It makes radio history by becoming the first previously unreleased track to rocket to No. 1 on the US modern rock charts. Following the great success on US radio it is now No. 2 at Rock radio in both Australia and Canada – a universal hit! Next week is Teenage Cancer Trust week at the Royal Albert Hall , highlights [...]
Large scale theaters usually have their fair share of musical history; The Chicago Theatre, The Filmore, The Beacon…you could go on all night with historic venues that contain just as many legends as the bands who played in them. But when it comes to smaller, indie-oriented locales, you'd be hard pressed to find one that contains such a rich background, although they do exist. One such venue is Jannus Landing in St. Petersburg, Florida. Nestled in the heart of downtown in Tampa's finer sister city, Janus Landing was fashioned out of the [...]
