BACK YARD TIRE FIRE do THE ROLLING STONES
For Halloween this year, this great band covered The Rolling Stones’ “Some Girls” album–which is regarded by many as the band’s most offensive record. Wish I’d been there. But at least, through the wonders of the music archive, we can all hear it! Miss ...

THE CHAIRS-Nine Ways
Wisconsin’s The Chairs is self-releasing “Nine Ways,” and you get it right now digitally at their site . It’s good stuff. Very indie, somewhat eclectic. The lyrics are well thought out, the vocals odd and intense, the beats distinct, and the hooks overflow. And if ...

THE TOP 15 HIP HOP ALBUMS OF THE DECADE (INDEPENDENT ONLY)
berkeleyplaceblog.com — I’m almost afraid to publish this, since I know I’ll get all kinds of grief about it.

CAPTAIN AMERICA IS 75% REBORN
Last week brought us issue four of six of Ed Brubaker’s Captain America : Reborn. Of the four issues thus far, this last one was the least interesting. It’s almost as if Brubaker brought the show to a sudden stop, just to align with 2010’s Siege series(?) And now they’ve announced an ...
