After a series of side projects and breakups threatened to torpedo one of the only living rock bands still touring with their original line-up 40 years after their first album, Aerosmith has returned, premiering new single “Legendary Child” live on last night’s “American Idol” finale. If it’s not exactly a scorcher, it’s a lot more potent than Aerosmith’s recent track record would suggest, marrying the rough-and-tumble melodic sense of their mid-90’s period with the droning harmonies of early hit […]

Lock up your daughters, America – Aerosmith are touring North America for the first time in two years. The iconic quintet – even iconic singer/American Idol judge/crazy person Steven Tyler! – are embarking on 22 dates between June and August on the “Global Warming Tour” with fellow rock elder statesmen Cheap Trick. It might surprise Idol‘s target audience, but before Steven Tyler took that hilarious hosting gig, he was the frontman for one of the hardest-living, hardest-rocking, longest-lasting bands in America. Tyler and […]

Yet another boring week on the Billboard album charts. Adele spends a 12th week at the top of the charts with 21, although she only needed to sell 70,000 albums to do it. Country star Trace Adkins and singer/songwriter type Mat Kearney debut in the Top Five. The biggest news comes from hipster-pop band Foster the People, as their debut album, Torches, jumps into the Top 20 and “Pumped Up Kicks” looks to be one of the year’s surprise hits. […]

30. “Shock the Monkey” Peter Gabriel (1983) Peter Gabriel is often lauded for his video work, although most of his innovative music videos are overshadowed by his greatest video achievement (which we’ll get to later). Frankly, I still have no idea what the hell 1982’s “Shock the Monkey” is about, but it has everything – monkeys, midgets, dot matrix printouts… The song is apparently about lovers’ jealousy, but the video looks a lot more like paranoid schizophrenia to me. Whatever […]
