We keep our eyes peeled for new tour dates announcements each week and compile them on Tuesdays for this handy column… Despite some recent rumblings that the Davies brothers met earlier this year to talk about a potential Kinks reunion, it was nothing more than a definitive statement of both being open to the idea. As fans of the iconic and influential band continue to keep hope alive, the band's former front man, Ray Davies , has revealed a slew of new tour dates in support of his most recent studio album See My Friends [...]

Papercuts create this summer's second dream-pop version of Don Henley's classic, 'The Boys of Summer.'
Photo by Philip Cosores Though the song was memorably covered by The Ataris a decade or so back, Papercuts have quietly unveiled a version of Don Henley's season-appropriate anthem "Boys Of Summer." Through the eyes of Jason Quever, the jam is much like most of his music: dreamy, distant, emotional, and haunting. A quite lovely take on a song you've heard a million times.

Tweet Having been released at the start of the year there aren't many people talking about Papercuts ' latest album "Fading Parade" as we approach the end of the Summer, however the exact opposite should be happening. The album is made for Summer with its hazy vocals, light and breezy guitar work and the overall sense of relaxation. Or maybe it's just meant for Sundays, although I never get to relax on Sundays. I need more Sundays off....anyway, even though they've been covering [...]
Summer, Summer, Summer...it turns me upside down. Well, not really. I live in the Northeast, as I've said in the past, because I'm not that big on the heat. A lot of folks love the summer weather. Heck, half of them don't even need air conditioning. That's definitely not me. I don't mind a good dip in the ocean, but I'm not going to work that hard to make that happen anymore. Something about all these extra pounds I figure. My friends go to Cape [...]
Au Revoir Simone delivers fantastic instrumentation but lackluster vocals on 'Boys of Summer'
For years I've been one of the millions of Eagles haters out there - including the most famous, the Dude: "I hate the fuckin' Eagles, man!" And don't get me wrong, there are plenty of very good reasons to hate the Eagles. But you know, the Eagles aren't at No. 1 on my "hate" list any more. That spot now belongs to Billy Joel - but that's another story, for another time. When they came out of Southern California in 1972, the Eagles were influenced by the era's country rock, pioneered by Gram Parsons and the Flying Burrito [...]
The Dallas Morning News (MCT) -- UNCERTAIN, Texas - Perched on a grimy bait-stand bench, beneath a sign that reads "fishing guides available," a bearded man in an untucked denim shirt watches kids tumble off a dock into coffee-brown murk and boats cruise beneath the curtain of cypress. At first glance, the sunburned man looks like any other Caddo Lake local. It's his baseball cap that hints Don Henley isn't a typical lake rat. Instead of faded camouflage, the hat is...
A new weekly feature in which our writers share their favourite tracks of the week. PJ Harvey – 'Written On The Forehead' (chosen by Kara Manning) Perhaps no other album has been reviewed as favorably this year as PJ Harvey's Let England Shake which should pass into our cultural consciousness as one of the most moving, artistic testaments to the brutal cycle of war. Another remarkable touchstone was the nervy, Oscar-nominated 2010 documentary Restrepo , co-directed by British war photographer Tim Hetherington and journalist Sebastian Junger; an unflinching, empathetic examination of [...]
About a month ago, I started this blog of my 80's remix activity with a special extended remix I did of Don Henley's "The Boys of Summer", which can be listened to here. Like some of my other remixes, I only used the 7" version, but was able to use some tricks to get isolated vocals, percussion, and other tracks, re-assemble the song, and add flanging effects. Well, I have now managed to do a video remix as well! I took the original video clip, added some VirtualDub filters during the extended flange parts, [...]
My first installment, is an extended remix of probably the most popular track off of Don Henley's "Building the Perfect beast" album in 1985. Sadly, this song never got the proper extended 12" remix treatment when it was released, so this is my attempt to make up for this oversight. I only used the 7" version for this mix, but I used many tricks and manipulations in it. First off, I managed to isolate the vocals from the song, and use them to add some reverb to the main vocals. I [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News After canceling three dates due to an ailment suffered by Don Henley , the Eagles returned to the stage Sunday night as the official headliners for the three-day Austin City Limits festival. If any sickness still lingered with Henley, no one would've known, as the classic rock group fit perfectly into this slot. "Who likes country rock in Austin, Texas?" Henley asked during the slow part of [...]
Filed under: News , R.I.P. Kenny Edwards, a co-founding member of the Stone Poneys, died Wednesday after battles with cancer and a blood disorder. He was 64. According to the Los Angeles Times , Edwards -- who was instrumental in helping Linda Ronstadt launch her career -- was hospitalized in Denver earlier in the month after collapsing on tour with Karla Bonoff. The guitarist and vocalist was subsequently moved to a hospital near his home in Santa [...]
Photography by AgentTicTac .. Now, I can't say I want to be at the beach right now, or really anytime, I don't really care for it. I'm from Florida, I was dragged out many a times by my momma, burnt beyond belief - just had another mole removed, looks like I have a 3rd nipple now. I named him Norman - and generally sat around in sand & salty air sweating, roasting, and counting down the hours til we could go home. BUT..... for many [...]

Toronto - After Wednesday's night Titus Andronicus man-fest, I was quite ready for something different. That something different came in the form of Au Revoir Simone and Alexa Wilding, both part of a triple bill at the Great Hall on Thursday night. We arrived just before the second act - Alexa Wilding came on. Alexa Wilding is a folk singer songwriter from New York who just recently released a self titled EP. Armed with only an acoustic guitar, she casually took the stage with a pretty smile and instantly encouraged the crowd to move in a little closer. [...]
This is Don Henley live in concert in Los Angeles California back in 1985. That's according to the limited notes that came with this recording and his comments throughout the show suggest that the location (LA) is correct, and the songs performed are from the right timeline. However I have a feeling that this may actually be material from more than one gig based only on the sound differences around 'Desparado' and a couple of other tracks, and I am not familiar with the Fox Bowl which the notes suggest was the venue. [...]
Tim Emmerick - Stark Contributing Writer I've got a joke for you. It's a real screamer. You ready? What do David Byrne, Rush and Don Henley all have in common? Give up? All of these multi-platinum selling artists have are currently taking legal action against Republican senatorial candidates for stealing their music. David Byrne is not the picture of a GOP supporter so it came as a bit of a shock last month when friends in Florida [...]
