Artist: Aerosmith Album: Toys in the Attic Release Date: April 8, 1975 I've been looking for a way into the ongoing mess that has been Aerosmith these past few weeks, and everything I've read and heard about it has held this album up on a pedestal, so here we are. My generation has a bit of a tainted view of Aerosmith. The biggest things they've done in the two decades I've been alive are the commerical juggernaut of Get A Grip and [...]
Guess this is the sort of stuff you will find under the tree this Christmas - if you have been bad. I'd rather have a gift card, you know? Anyway - here are some new efforts from Big Superstars who are still trying to get your hard-earned money this holiday season, although you need it way more than they do. Norah Jones has sold a zillion albums but she has really put out only four, and The Fall is certainly her liveliest album to date. She's kinda wanting to [...]
Moonface - Dreamland EP: Marimba and Shit-Drums Out 1/26 on Jagjaguwar This 123 is the second release by Moonface, the solo project of Sunset Rubdowner Spencer Krug- the first being the sold-out limited-edition 73 picture disc released by Aagoo earlier this year. The album comes with a dream journal, upon which the music is based.
MP3: Béla Fleck and the Flecktones - Sunset Road , Live at Vicar Street (Dublin) on Nov 4 2009 ( Live Music Archive ) Let me be plain: you have never seen anything like Béla Fleck and the Flecktones . This latest string of US dates is sometimes billed as a reunion of the founding lineup (the first in 18 years), but that's only technically true. The Flecktones have toured extensively over the past two decades, but only now are rejoined by "the Tall, Thin Flecktone," piano and [...]
Any true child of the 80s is going to have some level of nostalgia for Hulk Hogan and/or Hulkamania. Maybe you used to watch WWF (now WWE) on Saturday mornings with your friends or went to shows or owned all the toys and even copied some moves on your younger siblings ( SMS = Guilty as charged on all accounts! ) Well, with WrestleMania VI , Hogan was set to retire and head off into the sunset (something he still hasn't been able to do successfully ) and his nemesis in that match [...]
"For a bunch of good looking people, you sure are boring and I can't hang around with that certainty because it dies with the day. A peculiar assessment, She said. Maybe, I continued, Yet even those that don't like me expect a lot. You think you deserve something, and you're mad, she said again and again. I was mad with the desire to believe in an absolute, and fingering the perils of such belief in my mind all day. Of course I deserved something, a million dollars an ounce and I couldn't give this much heart away. I thought that [...]
This is The Kinks towards the end of their Sleepwalker Tour from 1977. The album Sleepwalker marked a return to straight-ahead, self-contained rock songs after several years of concept orientated albums. It was the first album in what critics usually call the "arena rock" phase of the group, in which more commercial and mainstream production techniques would be employed. The line up of The Kinks would be trimmed downed significantly in 1977 following the album's release, as the brass section and backup singers were removed and the band returned to a standard rock band outfit. [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Holy Hell An old Kinks tradition of throwing paper plates onto the stage with song requests written on them was thwarted by security at Ray Davies ' Choral Collection concert at Town Hall on Thurdsay. The overzealous goons rushed to the front row thinking the worst, even trying to evict an innocent petite plate-throwing fan from the first row. Davies had to pause the show to assure the guards he was perfectly safe, deciding to risk a [...]
Uhmemba the Cops ? That frenzied, Clash-loving, back-alley punk band? They disbanded at the end of last year . I wept (internally). Not one to sit on his laurels, scrappy guitarist/vocalist Mike Jaworski -who also owns and operates local label Mt. Fuji Records -has created a new band: Virgin Islands . It's a lot like the Cops, but even dirtier and more frenzied. Jagged, even. Whoa and double-whoa . The new EP is called The Age of Anxiety [...]

I've got another song for everyone today from the Montreal-based indie-rock/pop band Islands . Switched On can be found as the opening track to the band's 3rd full-length album Vapours , released on September 22nd of this year. In an interview with Pitchfork over the summer, Islands' front-man Nicholas Thorburn (Nick Diamonds) described his mindset during the making of the album as "I needed to withdraw from overblown metaphors and filling every possible sonic space. So this record is just made up of sequenced programming, synths, drum machines, guitars, and real bass. [...]

This won't be the first time we've sung the praises of Bill Baird--a.k.a. {{{Sunset}}}--on this blog, and this probably won't be the last.Last year, Baird released three albums under this project, making it nothing short of prolific. These twisted, home-recorded ballads and instrumentals have got guys like Tom Waits and Beck on speed dial. There are some psych pop premonitions hanging in the air,
Tonight at The Viper Room in Los Angeles, it's the San Francisco band, THE STONE FOXES , that delivered the surprise standout track on the recently released, LOVE & ROCKETS tribute record, ' New Tales To Tell' , with their version of 'Fever '. Dark and dirty rock and roll here, worth rolling out to Sunset for their set. alt=rss
It's going to be my album of the year, at least based on its placing in my top 5 of all albums released this decade, but I still didn't know for certain every lyric to every song on the album, which was mildly annoying. Sunset Rubdown hadn't included a lyric sheet with the album's release and although I'd waded through the threads on the Wolf Parade forums and on songmeanings.net at various times this year, there were enough discrepancies to throw me off on more than one lyric in more than one [...]

Somehow, this review never made it up onto thecolorawesome after the show on July 25th, 2009. It was a great show, so I'm publishing the review, even if it is a few months late. - Paige Of Montreal played the Fox Theater in Oakland last Saturday. I'd been a bit on the fence about going. I'd already seen, shot and reviewed them twice since Skeletal Lamping was released last year. I decided if I could shoot the show I'd go, otherwise I'd take a pass. Lucky for me I [...]
I was given the green-light by Ezra Caraeff to write a little something about Tuesday night's KISS show at the Rose Garden... after, he said, I was done wiping off my Peter Criss makeup. I was a bit miffed by the remark... because I was wearing Gene Simmons makeup... which is not nearly as gay. The Rose Garden was filled up-say to a Blazers vs. Mavericks-like capacity-all there to see Gene, Paul, some dude in Peter Criss makeup (gay) and the guy who used to fetch Gene's coffee wearing Ace Frehley's space-suit and makeup. That guy who [...]
Photo by meik meik So a few weeks ago, CMJ was happening, and we were all running around like dance crazed party girls. Now that the dust has more than officially settled, we can tell you that some pretty cool shit went down. We talked to some folks. We caught some shows. One of the people we talked to was Lucas Guerin of electro funk rock band Casxio. Emerging on the scene quite effectively with their EP Seventeen (released on The Hours Entertainment records) the video for the single views [...]
