According to this story, Bob Dylan & Paul McCartney are planning on getting together this summer to write and record some music together. It would be the first time they have ever worked together even though they first met 45 years ago. Being that I love their work from the ’60s (as most people do) [...]

Every week Last.FM has a new top 500 tracks chart (ranked by the amount of different listeners each song had during the last 7 days.) It’s amazing to me how little the rankings seem to change week to week and how the same older songs seem to be in the list every week. That’s what [...]

Dark Night Of The Soul is an interesting new album which is a collaboration between Danger Mouse & Sparklehorse (along with lots of other groovy folks*) that apparently won’t be given the usual release, instead the album is just a CD-R. But yes there is real music involved, it’s just that you’re encouraged to download [...]

Today is the last day I can include The Soft Bulletin on my list of the top 10 albums of the past 10 years. I think this is The Flaming Lips best album and among the very best albums of the 1990s. It’s also aging quite nicely, in fact even though it’s a few years [...]

According to this Billboard story. Apparently the album “might” be called Embryonic. I wasn’t really expecting the Flaming Lips to release an album this year, much less a double album.

McCartney was also the bassist for the band and in my opinion he wrote (and played) [...]

EDIT: New article on the most popular remastered Beatles CDs on Amazon. — This is a list of the highest selling albums by The Beatles on Amazon as derived by their top 100 selling classic rock albums list (which includes some albums that are definitely not classic rock.) I find it very interesting to see [...]

The Beatles Rock Band game is coming out on September 9th and it’s now available for pre-order on Amazon. It’s available as just software (for those who already have the rock band drum set & guitar and don’t want a second set) or as a bundle (with a Beatles drum set and a Hofner bass [...]

Most played song (week ending May 3, 2009) on last.fm for each of Radiohead’s 7 studio albums to date: 1993 – Pablo Honey – “Creep” No surprise that “Creep” is the most played song from Pablo Honey, but I’m a little disappointed it’s the 2nd most played Radiohead song overall. Nostalgia? 1995 – The Bends [...]
