We Will Rock You

From Booklist

*Starred Review* Roly-poly Chicago Sun Times’ rock reviewer DeRogatis coedits this collective rebuttal to the canon of great rock albums established by the graying likes of Greil Marcus (”self-appointed Dean of the Rock-Crit Academy West Coast”), Robert Christgau (”self-appointed Dean of the Rock-Crit Academy East Coast”), and Rolling Stone best-album features over the years. The book’s merry band of younger reviewers finds much fault with its predecessors’ picks. T (more…)

All these years later, Kansas still rule the classic rock radio airwaves, and continue to put on simply spellbinding shows of the highest caliber. And what better way to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the release of Kansas self-titled 1974 debut than with a live DVD, There s Know Place Like Home, which will be released on September 28th, 2009 . A hi-def for Blu-ray release (mixed in 5.1 surround sound), the show was filmed on February 7th of this year in their home state (at (more…)

    This is the third and final installment of my recent in-depth interview with Gentle Giant keyboardist/singer/composer Kerry Minnear.

     In this podcast episode we discuss the band’s early record deal with Vertigo, which was a tax relief scheme for a larger label; the mathematics behind Gentle Giant being able to continue recording; the grind of touring and how it contributed to the end of the band; the forthcoming Live at Winchester College DVD; how Three Friends came about and why Kerry decided to depart; more on the possibility of working with Ray Schulman again; and forthcoming releases.

     Thanks once again to Kerry Minnear and to Anne Leighton of Leighton Media.

It’s gearing up to be quite a busy year for actress Zooey Deschanel. Along with the arrival of her and M. Ward’s She and Him ‘Volume 2′ next month, Deadline Hollywood confirms that she’s foraying into television by starring as a groupie in a pilot for HBO. Taking a page from Cameron Crowe’s ‘Almost Famous,’ which she also had a role in, Deschanel is starring in an adapted version of professional groupie Pamela Des Barres’ memoir ‘I’m With the Band.’

The book chronicles sexual conquests Des Barres had with the likes of Mick Jagger and Jimmy Page. There’s no word yet as whether or not this adaptation will be placed in the ’60s or a more modern, fictional account that uses the original book as a guide. We’re pretty positive Deschanel can use her and husband — and Death Cab for Cutie frontman — Ben Gibbard’s insider tales from the business.

She and Him recently gave fans a taste of what’s in store for their new album with the song ‘In the Sun’ and announced dates for a quick spring jaunt, which sold out immediately. They’ll also be hitting Austin next month for SXSW 2010 as well as Coachella in mid-April.

Boston mainman Tom Scholz has revealed that someone recently tried to impersonate him.

Talking to Pulse Radio, the guitarist said that the unnamed person wanted $5,000 for what was claimed to be a Scholz solo show. The musician apparently swindled a New York club promoter out of the money – although the performance never took place.

Scolz said: “Over the last few years, I’ve seen countless examples of con artists trying to make deals, pass themselves off, or sell tickets to unsuspecting fans by using the name Boston but this is the first time I’ve seen someone actually use my personal name as a come-on.”

Scholz also went on to insist that there will be no live dates this year, from either him or Boston.
