Some of those will be good, but I'm recommending a variety of [...]

"I was sitting around the other day, tapping my feet, A publication came to my door, said you´d died and gone to sleep... But I couldn´t shed a tear I never knew you well..." A moving elegy from Minutemen successors fIREHOSE on the death of blues singer extraordinaire Elizabeth Cotten. Haven´t a clue why Mike Watt & co spelled her name wrong btw. Anyone? "...But I´m missing you just the same, Libba please rest easy down on Chestnut [...]

Moore is also a writer, poet, ardent supporter of bold weirdos and fiery rockers, and owner of Ecstatic Peace Records . It was announced recently that an offshoot of the label -- Ecstatic Peace Library -- will begin publishing art books in 2010. [...]
É sempre difícil lidar com expectativas e a produção do Planeta Terra parece ter entendido ao longo dos seus três anos de existência. Em 2007, o festival era a cara nova que deu certo apostando em infra-estrutura, pontualidade, preço baixo e num line-up sem headliner, mas com escolhas bem feitas como Rapture e Devo. A boa fama do primeiro ano e um line-up sensacional (Animal Collective, JAMC, Spoon, Kaiser Chiefs, Bloc Party, Foals, Breeders!) fizeram uma a segunda edição um evento divertido, mas que já não lidava tão bem com o tamanho do seu público (filas quilométricas e problemas no [...]

Ray Davies Appears at the Orpheum on Saturday Night I didn't get up to as much as I'd hoped last week, but did catch Julian Casablancas and the Happy Hollows at Spaceland. Casablancas didn't do anything to win me back, but most of the crowd seemed really into it. I'll definitely be at Ray Davies this Saturday and I'll most likely check out more of the Happy Hollows tonight. Monday 11/9/09 [Pick of the Night] [...]
After its release and entrance in Sundance in 2005, the highly praised High School Record has finally been released on DVD by Factory 25. Directed by Ben Wolfinsohn and starring members of Los Angeles noise-punk bands No Age, Mika Miko as well as Mike Watt and Lavender Diamond, the film is shot in the mock-umentary style, following four teens as they stumble through life. Capturing the hilarious and awkward lengths they will go to meet girls, avoid tests and to belong; laugh out loud moments involve tinfoil shorts, self-competitive "school-climbing", and a "doughnut-hawk" haircut, just to name a [...]
The return of one of the most influential bands is set to embark on a reunion tour next year. No dates are set except for the May 2 - 3rd in London, where they will be playing Raw Power in its entirety as part of the All Tommorows Party Festival . What makes this tour stand out is the return of James Williamson, the original guitar player and someone who hasn't played with them in over 30 years. Furthermore, to sweeten the deal even more, Mike Watt from the Minutemen will be playing bass. We shall keep [...]

Foo Fighters Greatest Hits RCA Records [2009] Fire Drill Review: Not sure anyone would have predicted that once Kurt Cobain passed away, that the drummer from Nirvana would go on to front one of rocks most radio friendly bands that has substance, angst and likability all wrapped into one musically tight package. What makes the Foo Fighters relevant is that not only have they had extreme commercial success, but that they are and always [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , UK Despite the tragic loss of legendary guitarist Ron Asheton last year, the Stooges are planning a return to full touring duties in 2010. Singer Iggy Pop is expected to reconvene with Asheton's brother Scott and ex- Minutemen bassist Mike Watt with guitarist James Williamson assuming Asheston's role for the shows, something he did 30 years ago during sessions for the 'Raw Power' album. Asheton was found dead after a suspected heart [...]
The Happy Hollows Monday Residency at Spaceland Starts This Week Sorry for the lack of posts, thanks for sticking with me. I caught Kris Kristofferson at the Walt Disney Concert Hall last night. You've got to be a fan of his poetry, because he's not a dynamic performer. That said, he's a legend and I was happy to see him for a second time. I've missed all the recent "secret" shows, but there are a few more this week... Monday 11/2/09 [...]

[ This guy is Sublime's new singer? Nah ... ] Hey folks, I'm still in the middle of transferring this blog over to WordPress, but I'm going to try and find time to post at least twice a day until the transition is complete. It's hard WORK though, homie! The only thing keeping me going is the constant stream of boring music news I can retread. Seriously though, Sublime ended years ago when Bradley Nowell passed away, right? [...]

There is a fine line between too much information and too little, which makes conducting interviews a bit like a game of Russian roulette. This is especially true when your subject doesn't necessarily want to meet your questions half way. Luckily, with eccentric personalities and inflamed egos you're likely to get something candid if you just let them take the reins. This edition of Adventures in YouTubin' is dedicated to those journalists who had the good sense to bite off more than they could chew. Featured musicians include: Brad Cox, the Butthole Surfers, and more. [...]
- Provocazioni & istigazioni a delinquere a cura di Francesco Farabegoli - L'ultima volta che ho scritto per Frequenze Indipendenti è stata tipo un mese fa, cioè -considerati i tempi di internet- in un'epoca in cui John Lennon non era ancora stato ucciso. Nel frattempo, buona notizia, l'estate è finita e potete smettere di tirare gli addominali. Tre o quattro cose fighe che arrivano con l'inverno: 1) Le camicie di pile (pron. pail) a quadretti anti-hipster che trovi a 3 [...]
