For a confirmed Beatlemaniac like Jeff Lynne of Electric Light Orchestra fame, working with members of the Fab Four had always been a dream. Beginning in the late 1980s, every one of them came true. It started when Lynne was tabbed to produce George Harrison's comeback album Cloud 9, which led to the formation of the Traveling Wilburys - and [...]

Supergroups, man. How could they possibly represent the combined talents of their respective members? Most of them don't end up doing that, and they're mostly resigned to either sounding a lot like one of its member's songs, or just inherently simple. This song kind of skews to the latter, but it's so darn wonderful at the same time that I dare not judge it. In case you're unaware, this is probably the greatest supergroup in the history of supergroups: George Harrison, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan and Jeff Lynne. I'm not entirely sure how'd you'd [...]

Filed under: News , Exclusive , Music Appreciation Frank Micelotta, Getty Right now's probably a good time to revisit Tina Turner . She's probably best remembered to anyone under 50 as a giant-haired ballad singer from the '80s, but Tina used to be badass . After all, it's not everyone who can say they duetted with Mick Jagger and were in The Who 's movie Tommy . [...]
I'm getting some solid summer vacay vibes from The Deadline Shakes' upcoming single "Sweeten The Deal", reminiscent of The Traveling Wilburys & Fleetwood Mac; Great melodies & harmonies, jangly banjo lines, and a sweet little guitar solo to boot! Grab a digital copy of the single on Flowers In The Dustbin due out November 5th. The [...]

“You should do an ‘Encore’ on Dylan. He’s got a new album and a tour soon.” “Sure.” Never has a response of “sure” been more loaded. Forget the fact that Bob Dylan has released more than 50 albums and written and recorded hundreds of songs. Forget that since 1988 he has played a workmanlike 100 shows per year, often rotating more than 100 songs into each year’s setlists. Those are daunting numbers. And, when putting together a list like this one, this type of math is about as helpful as, say, “Love Minus Zero/No [...]

happy monday, peoples! in 1988 the traveling wilbury's vol 1 ruled my world. still, even to this day, its an amazing record that everyone with an appreciation for music, should hear. their second release, which was released in 90, i believe, entitled vol 3 was good but nowhere as good as their debut. still its worth a listen, for sure. here's a bunch of early recordings that span both records and some of it is pretty rough yet, if youre a fan of the records, is definitely very cool to hear. 1. handle with care [...]
Dave Stewart, of Eurythmics fame, played a key role in the formative days of the Traveling Wilburys, that 1980s supergroup featuring Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty and Roy Orbison. The Grammy-winning musician and producer talked about that period as work continues on his second album in as many years, after 20112s The Blackbird Diaries. He's also helmed [...]

Soyadı yasası çıkınca Türkiye Cumhuriyeti yurttaşları belli bir tarihe kadar soyadı almaya zorunlu kılındı. Babam da bana, Oğlum, bize bir soyadı bul dedi. Babamın bu önerisine çok sevinmiştim. Öyle bir soyadı bulacaktım ki, hem çok güzel, hem çok özgün, hem çok anlamlı olacaktı, başka hiç kimsede de olmayacaktı. Günlerce kendimize uygun bir soyadı düşündüm. Sonunda buldum: Kıral. Bu buluşuma bayılmıştım. İki anlama birden geliyordu; hem kır ve al, hem de kıral (kral) anlaşılıyordu. Aman bu ne önemli bir buluştu! O günlerde kimi gazeteler yurttaşları ivedi soyadı almaya özendirmek için, soyadı alanları ilan ediyordu. Akıllı [...]

Traveling Wilburys : Handle with Care [ purchase ] 1988 was Roy Orbison's big year. It started with Cinemax special, A Black and White Night, which aired in January. A diverse set of artists, including Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, Bonnie Raitt and Bruce Springsteen, formed an all-star band, backing the man who perfected the art of the rock ballad. Orbison started out as a Sun rocker. After shifting to the nascent Monument label in the early 1960s, he had a long string of hits -- "Pretty Woman," "Blue Bayou," "Only the [...]

I want you to take 3 things away from this interview. First, Mini Mansions know what vajazzling is, and they support it (respect).

Buy your tickets in advance here, they are going quickly: http://ticketf.ly/wK7Rl7 Ok, so your house is on fire, what [...]

Over at The Hits Just Keep Comin' , JB notes the reaction of listeners to Mannheim Steamroller's A Fresh Aire Christmas during a stint DJing at an easy listening station in the late '80s. ("You wouldn’t think that the elevator-music audience would use language like we heard on the telephone.") I remember A Fresh Aire Christmas being released for the holidays in 1988. I was a junior in college and it was my second Christmas working in a record store, having earned the [...]
Handle With Care - Traveling Wilburys So the other day I walked into the doctor's and said: Hello, doctor Ian, I have this slight cough for a while now, can you- Say no more, he said, just drop the pants, ... Continue reading
I planned a super-big, in-depth post tonight, but I'm in physical pain (read on for details) so instead here are some random scraps of awesomeness. Hopefully I'll be less disabled in a few days. The Traveling Wilburys Handle With Care (Extended Version) End Of The Line (Extended Version) Not Alone Any More (Remix) It's weird to me that the Traveling Wilburys aren't more fondly remembered, or remembered much at all for that matter. I mean, this was a band with George [...]

Photography by Me ... Well my friends, the time has come. The break the rules and have some fun. It's been a nutty 4+ someodd years over here at tsururadio, we've gone through a lot of changes, did everything from mixtapes to vinyl rips, contests to out and out giveaways, we always tried to have fun and keep ourselves in check that we are just music bloggerin', like 4 kabillion other kids out there on the wide world interconnected super highway of love canals. But as [...]

Never before have we pulled together a playlist with this much collaborative talent, and we will be hard pressed to do more going forward. Check out the playlist below, along with a brief explanation of each tune. The Traveling Wilburys - Handle With [...]
Closing out the Super Group week is a tune from probably the band with the most collective star power of any group ever. Despite the big names, the Wilburys just made low key, unassuming tunes. This is the jam that started it all.

Can it be? Has the worst month of the year finally been defeated? Cue the music... Happy March. MP3: Bon Iver: Come Talk To Me (Peter Gabriel) MP3: Sweet Lights: Handle With Care (Traveling Wilburys) MP3: San Cisco: Solitude Is Bliss (Tame Impala) MP3: Wolf Gang: Pyramid Song (Radiohead)
