It looks like any hopes of a new Pixies album gets dimmer by the day. However, this does mean a great deal of output from Pixies-frontman Black Francis , who has been touring solo , touring with his wife , and producing albums , is now taking on another ambitious project. Bluefinger (which you may remember as the name of Francis's 2007 album) will be a new rock opera which "...focuses entirely on the life and death of Herman Brood, a Dutch artist, rocker and junkie who leapt to his death from [...]
Do you remember Ludo? He was the gentle beast in Labyrinth that helped Sarah through the maze. He's the inspiration for the name of a band that hails from the Midwest. From their quirky songwriting I totally get that they are a bit into magic, mischief, mystery and fantasy, but it seems like they would identify more with someone more outgoing one way or another: Didymus or Jareth perhaps. Nevertheless, that's what they decided to call themselves once they recorded their first album and played their first gig as a full band [...]

Seth Faergolzia (Dufus) debuts rock opera 23 Psaegz, 09.23 at Cake Shop

The Deli MagazineThe DIY rock opera/collective 23 Psaegz (pronounced say•jezz) carry on the warm, weird legacy of NYC's Dufus , the freak folk band founded by Seth Faergolzia over 13 years ago. This numerous group of musicians originally gathered with the intention of performing Seth's 23 Psaegz stream of consciousness puppet rock opera, and has since also become a collaborative backing for his complex web of musical delight. Leading this new project, Faergolzia brings his one-man-band skills (mastering simultaneously the guitar, glockenspiel, kick drum, and vocal antics) to a new apex of musical sagacity.

PopMattersChicago Tribune (MCT) -- Damian "Pink Eyes" Abraham, the roly-poly singer in Toronto's F----- Up, spends a lot of his time at the band's concerts in the audience, doing everything from climbing on chairs and tables to munching on beach balls. In the band's early days, he thought he needed to be threatening and verbally abusive to get the crowd going, but something changed when he saw the "exciting, positive energy" at an Andrew W.K. show.

WFMU's Beware of the Blog
WFMU's Beware of the BlogBob Brainen played "Waterwheel" from the first Hall & Oates album, Whole Oates. You may only remember the duo from their cheesy "Private Eyes" video from the 1980s. But they made many high class pop/soul albums the previous decade. Scott Williams played "Carmellia" from their self-titled album. If you think they were strictly commercial, check out John Allen playing "Babs Babs" from Darryl Hall's Sacred Songs, produced by underground prince, Robert Fripp. On World Of Echo, Dave Mandl played "Breathless: from Fripp's Exposure, a record Hall appeared on.

Faronheit
FaronheitHere's a word I don't get to use too often when describing an album - operatic. Specifically, rock operatic, the short form of which you might more easily recognize as rock opera. Creating one, at least a good one, is truly a challenge for any artist to even think about attempting, and that's possibly why we rarely get rock operas these days. Arguably the biggest and best band known for their albums filled with gigantic stadium rockers mixed with complex and lengthy passages would be Queen. They pulled off simplistic-sounding cuts like "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the [...]
