Worst Album Covers

The worst album covers of all time are chronicled on PitchforkAllMighty. There are some pretty bad covers on there. How do I know? Because Pitchfork is so hip and trendy, and anything they say is golden.

[holding breath that deep and think sarcasm was picked up on]

OK. Go get 'em.

500 Greatest

Blender and Rolling Stone both have out their lists of the 500 Greatest Songs of all time. Check out both lists, good songs on both. Maybe they should be combined into one super list, since both have some terrible songs as well.

New Releases

Beastie Boys "Solid Gold Hits" (Capitol - This best-of retrospective collects some of the trio's biggest tracks on to one handy cd for more casual fans who didn't spring for the "Sounds Of Science" collection a few years back. There is a single cd version and also this special edition which comes with a bonus dvd of videos from their career)


Kate Bush "Aerial" (Columbia - The legendary and reclusive singer (who was signed to EMI in her teens) hasn't released an album since 1993's "The Red Shoes". She makes up for her absence with a 2-disc collection of new material)


Comet Gain "City Fallen Leaves" (Kill Rock Stars - 2nd full-length album on KRS from UK trio)


Neil Diamond "12 Songs" (Columbia - While he's been touring regularly, it's been awhile since old Neil has turned on the heartlight for a new album. Now, he's being praised for this new stripped down effort which he recorded with producer Rick Rubin)


Grizzly Bear "Horn Of Plenty" (Kanine - Debut album from lo-fi Brooklyn indie rockers who recorded most of the album in band member Christopher Bear's bedroom. This limited edition version comes with a bonus disc of remixes from the likes of Dntel, Soft Pink Truth, Solex, The Double, Alpha, and many more)


Bob Marley & the Wailers "Africa Unite: The Singles Collection" (Tuff Gong/Island - This year would have marked Marley's 60th birthday. This 20 track comp pays tribute with 17 of his biggest hits and includes 3 new cuts. 2 of those are remixes and 1 of them, "Slogans", is a previously unreleased track which his sons Stephen and Ziggy completed earlier this year with the help of Eric Clapton)


The Mars Volta "Scab Dates" (Universal - What's that you say? You like pretentious prog rock with 15+ plus minute songs with Latin & Spanish titles but you don't think it should be restrained just to the recording studio. Well, here's the release for you and just in time for the holidays! These cuts were recorded while the band was on tour from 2003-2005)


Various Artists "Music from the OC: Mix 5" (Warner Bros - Say what you will about the show, the music supervisors have brought a lot of attention to some very deserving bands through this Fox drama. On its 5th compilation, you get great cuts from Rogue Wave, LCD Soundsystem, Of Montreal, Stars, and a previously unreleased cover of Alphaville's "Forever Young" from Youth Group)


The Tragically Hip "Hipeponymous" (Universal Canada - US fans will want to jump on this limited edition import box set from our friends up North. You'll get 2 cd's of the band's greatest hits, their "That Night In Toronto" dvd, and a dvd featuring all 23 of the band's videos)

Explain This

Coldplay has dubbed the 2nd leg of their tour 'Talk the Tour'. The concept behind the site and tour make absolutely no sense at all. What the hell are they even talking about? But Coldplay is sooooo cool and innovative, so....

According to a source that attended last night's White Stripes show, Jack is now known as 'Three Quid' and Meg goes by 'Penny Farthing'. I don't claim to understand it, I'm just relaying the information. I don't think they even understand it.

!!! [yes that is the band name] announce a Fall West Coast Tour.

SORRY

wDMO State of The Union Address

First off, I'd like to welcome all the new people who have been coming over to wDMO. This is a place dedicated to all things rock. Alternative/Indie/Garage. These days terrestrial radio over looks anything good, and plays crap all day. I cant stand it, if you can then go away. Just kidding, but seriously this is a place for news and reviews of the up and coming/pioneers. Eventually we'll figure out why we are doing this but for now that's it. We like rock and its dyyyyyyyying.

Ok...a few more things

#1 I post the news that is current and relevant. The Strokes are relevant, and they have a new album coming out soon. Each day a song gets leaked, so it gets posted. This is by no means a Strokes fan site. I am a fan, and they just happen to be making some waves this week.

#2 As i have said before things are going on behind the scenes, it looks like crap now but be patient. When this gets worked out everyone will be happy.

We want this to be about stuff that is new and interesting, before corporate America gets its hands on it and ruins it for all of us. Some new bands are great, some suck. That's the same thing with older bands. I think that in time you can sort out the diamonds from the coal, that is what I want this to be about. Interaction would be nice, I'd like to know what goes on in other rock scenes across the globe. But all I can say is that if you like the content 1% then stay tuned. I have no idea what I'm doing anyway, so we can ride this out together.

#3 I'll be doing a weekly podcast, prob. an hour long. Any requests will be considered. You can listen by finding the post below that has a mini media player in it. its orange and green, just push play.


Thank you and have a nice evening.
