NPR has last Wednesday night's performance by
The Good, The Bad & The Queen, at the 9:30 Club in D.C., available to stream or download. Excellent stuff from one of my
favorite records so far this year.
RollingStone.com has posted (far too few) audio excerpts from the wonderfully freewheeling interview that Michael Stipe, Peter Buck and Mike Mills gave at the magazine's offices last Monday afternoon, hours before
R.E.M.'s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I especially enjoyed hearing about the squalid conditions the band was living in when
Rolling Stone named
Murmur the best album of 1983, over Michael Jackson's
Thriller.
A huge, slip-cased coffee table book that details "EVERYTHING related to the
Beatles recording sessions, including beautiful, almost-pornographic photos of every mixing board, mic, tape deck, etc. ever used in a Beatles session," and costs over a hundred bucks?
Yes, please! (tip from DJ Cayenne at
BGB)
Need a cheat sheet on release dates for upcoming CDs, music DVDs and even books about music?
Pause & Play has you covered.
