Last night's Lucero show taught me a couple of things. The first thing is that I am apparently an old bastard now and the front row at a show might be a little too much for me. Be kind to me on that one as my ego (read: belief that I am Peter Pan) is a little sore along various other parts of me. The second, and more important. thing is that sometimes changing a thing that you love can make it better... This tour has been reviewed all over the place and it seems our [...]
Any Mojo Nixon fan will greedily scarf up this offering before it has much of a chance to get to know the shelf. Especially since this is out of print, although I do believe you can download the mp3's from Amazon or Itunes, I think. A fantastic example of what happens when attitude, rockabilly, and smart lyrics go out drinking together. Whereabouts Unknown came out in 1995 and shortly into the opening track, "Gotta Be Free," he is talking about having his penis enlarged, and later on, "Tie My Pecker to My Leg" is probably his bawdiest [...]
Download "Mountain" MP3 from 'Get Reasonable' Golden Shoulders is a collective of talented musicians from Nevada City, California, lead by songwriter Adam Kline . Formed in 2001, the group operates with a constantly rotating lineup with the contributors varying from performance to performance, song to song. On the band's recent full length called 'Get Reasonable' , the music embraces the crescendoing pop opuses of the 70's, toes tapping and heads bobbing by the end of [...]

Express Night Out interviews St. Vincent's Annie Clark. Express Night Out also profiles Clark's current touring mate, Andrew Bird .

John Ortved talks to Newsarama about his excellent oral history The Simpsons: An Uncensored, Unauthorized History . "For the first 10 or 11 seasons, I've seen each episode, many times. Particularly seasons 3-9; God, those shows are good. I think that run of episodes, that body of work, can stand up to anything our culture has produced in terms of entertainment in my lifetime. I mean that. They can hold their own against The Sopranos, Michael Chabon's novels, Nora Ephron's films, even The Backstreet Boys." [...]
Mojo & Skid, Bo-Day-Shus!!! and Otis. Those are the Mojo albums I would download from Amazon if I had to pick just three. I've been asked this a couple of times already, so I figured I'd cut you... Continue reading "Elvis Needs Boats: Free Mojo Nixon Tunes on Amazon, Creamy Video Bonanza" >
New Album and Entire Past Catalog Were Made Available for Free Download During Special Two-Week Promotion; Promotion Showcases The Orchard's Position as an Innovator In the Music Space New York, NY – October 27, 2009: On October 6th, in support and celebration of the release of Mojo Nixon's latest album "Whiskey Rebellion", The Orchard (NASDAQ: ORCD), [...]
If your music collection doesn't have any Mojo Nixon, it could probably use some fixing. And you're in luck, because all of his music is currently available for free at Amazon . Nixon's generosity is in part to publicize Whiskey Rebellion , his first release of new material in nearly a decade, but also to stimulate America's faltering economy: "History has shown than when people listen to my music, money tends to flow to bartenders, race tracks, late night greasy spoons, bail bondsmen, go-kart tracks, tractor pulls, football games, peep shows and [...]
In what may be a record for free digital downloads, Mojo Nixon has given away more than 1 million tracks since Oct 6th via Amazon MP3. To put the 1,000,000 number in perspective, during a typical week 35,000 Mojo Nixon tracks are traded via P2P and a top tier artist is lucky if they sell 150-200,000 paid downloads of a hit single in a week, Eric Garland of net tracker Big Champagne told the Wall Street Journal . Mojo had no idea this promotion would be so succesful. "T he doomed the damned and the demented need a [...]
Cult musician Mojo Nixon hasn't had a hit in years, but he's moved over a million songs at Amazon.com so far this month. The artist, who calls his revved-up rockabilly sound "psychobilly," earlier this year cooked up a scheme to put almost his entire catalog up on Amazon.com, for free. "I'm losing a little bit of [...]
This guest post from David Harrell first appeared on his Digital Audio Insider blog. When he's not blogging, David also makes music with The Layways . Free music is getting a bad rap as of late by some industry analysts (see Mark Mulligan's recent post ), but - in certain circumstances - I still think it can work. I agree with the skeptics -- having all artists give away digital downloads of all [...]

It's not often that an artist with as many albums as Mojo Nixon decides to give them all away for free. Mojo Nixon is def not for everyone but might as well give it a shot.Link:Amazon - Mojo Nixon Discography
Normally, I point you at Amazon.com because I want you to buy something there - this website, after all, benefits a bit from the meager amounts of filthy lucre that generates. But today, I'm not doing that. Today, I'm pointing you there because you can get something for free. A whole lot of something. Everything Mojo Nixon ever recorded. For free. Through that link. Go there. Get that. (...and thanks to Boing Boing for [...]
Mojo Nixon offers all his songs for free, for three weeks, USA IP addresses only. "One of the most outsized personalities on college radio in the '80s, Mojo Nixon won a fervent cult following with his motor-mouthed redneck persona and a gonzo brand of satire with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer. Nixon had a particular knack for celebrity-themed novelty hits ("Elvis Is Everywhere," "Debbie Gibson Is Pregnant With My Two-Headed Love Child," "Don Henley Must Die"), but he was prone to gleefully crass rants on a variety of social ills ("I Hate Banks," "Destroy All Lawyers," [...]

A.V. Club writers each choose the "great American rock band." A.S. Byatt talks to the New York Times about her latest novel, The Children's Book . The idea for the novel came to her, Ms. Byatt said, because she had been thinking about how child rearing changed in the late-Victorian era. "People began talking to their children as people," she said. "They even took tea with them. That's a change — you wouldn't find it in Dickens [...]
