Reiner also announced at the festival that Spinal Tap has reunited and will play Live Earth's London Show on 7/7/07. The 15-minute film chronicles Marty DeBergi's (Rob Reiner) efforts to reunite Nigel Tufnel (Christopher Guest), David St. Hubbins (MichaelMcKean) and Derek Smalls (Harry Shearer) to play Live Earth.

The film also reveals what the band members have been up to since they were last together. Ferrets, tiny horses, [..

[img] The Squeeze reunion tour has added a date at the Starland Ballroom in Sayreville for Monday, August 8th. Tickets, which are being sold at pre-sale here, are a mere $35.

..compared to the $99 you'll have to shell out to be up front at The Beacon Theater in NYC.

I've seen Squeeze a few times back in the day, and have also seen Glenn Tilbrook solo, and trust me on this one...

a better time will be had in a club setting than a theatre. This post gives me another chance to proclaim my love for the Starland [..

[img] The Arctic Monkeys track "Brianstorm" entered the Billboard Hot Singles Sales chart at #1, and remarkably, their new Favourite Worst Nightmare album enters the album charts at #7, selling an impressive 44,000 copies in it's first week of release. By comparison, their debut Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not sold about 10,000 copies less in it's first week of release here, peaking at No #24.

Amazingly, due to some sort of accounting error, the Arctic Monkeys had 17 tracks in the British top 200 Singles chart last week, because the songs were sold [...

[img] Tickets for the reunited Jesus And Mary Chain gigs at Webster Hall next month went on sale today, and surpisingly (to me anyway..

.) did not sell out instantly. Maybe the $45 price tag is a bit high, but compared to Hall Oates at Nokia for $99.

50, the feedback fest sounds like an outright steal. Get them while they last here. I'll be at the Wednesday show, so bring enough to buy me a beer, too.

it looks pretty noble...

and just in time for Arbor Day! Five bucks to say you have a credit in a movie with Carell and Morgan Freeman? So worth it.

[img] I'm pretty psyched to find out that not only is CAKE finally recording a new studio album (their last was Pressure Chief in 2004), but they are also releasing a b-sides rarities album shortly (shockingly titled b-sides rarities), and a live album to follow in the Fall called Live at the Crystal Palace. The rarities set includes covers of Black Sabbath's "War Pigs" and Barry White's "Never, Never Gonna Give You Up" in addition to other covers and seldom-heard originals.

[img] Dinosaur Jr - Beyond With their first original-lineup album since 1989, Dinosaur Jr has released one of the best rock records of the year.

..an amazing feat considering the album sounds like it was recorded in the late 80's.

..and I mean that in a good way.

Beyond is full of hooky and heavy-fuzzy J. Mascis guitar work, hinting only occasionally at the stylistic progression of his pre-reunion solo work. A couple of the tracks sounded so familiar on my initial listen that I could almost swear they were songs from Bug, but sure enough, they are [.

[img] A quick iLiKETRAiNS tutorial: 1) They are the best new UK band, no contest.

2) Progress Reform was one of the three best albums last year - and it's "only" an EP (out in the US on 4/23, according to their site).3) Their new single, Spencer Perceval , is the best song of 2007 and I can't see anything topping it. And now I have a chance to learn more about the boys from Leeds?

Yes please! I asked iLiKETRAiNS bass guitarist Alistair Bowis for some insight, and here's what he had to say: [..

[img] The Kaiser Chiefs were fantastic at Roseland Thursday night. Despite a less than stellar sound mix (that made sets by The Annuals and The Walkmen hard to listen to), the Chiefs proved again that they are one of the best live bands on the globe.

NME review here. [img] I've been running to Aesop Rock's "All Day", the third of the Nike+ Original Run series of workout songs commissioned by the show company. About 45 minutes long, it's all over the place stylistically, but in a good way.

[img] I don't watch a whole lot of TV, but one of the season passes on my TiVo is for The Henry Rollins Show on IFC. I was thrilled to see it's got a whole new season of Rollins' ranting, raving, and insightful interviews all lined up for me, starting with the season debut tonite at 11 pm ET, featuring an interview with Marilyn Manson, and musical guest Peaches. Here's a preview.

I'm also psyched that IFC is kicking off the new Rollins season with Henry Rollins: Uncut From Israel tonite at 9:30 pm ET. [..
