August 27, 2008 Discussion, Open Thread ? I?m surprised by the amount of discussion on yesterday?s open thread, but apparently bad album artwork gets people talking. The criticism of the Lee Ann Womack cover got me thinking about her well-received album artwork last time out, for her masterpiece There?s More Where That Came From. It was praised for its retro style: It was popular, but I always preferred the retro approach taken by The Mavericks, on their 1996 album Music For A

Robbie Daw presents a weekly pop music update here on Towleroad! Robbie runs his own site called Chart Rigger. Given that Andy's in Denver covering the Democratic National Convention, this seemed like the right week to take a bit of a political turn with the music column. But don't worry?I ain't about to start preaching. Instead, I wanted to focus on part of an interview British rock journal NME ran last week with Killers' frontman Brandon Flowers. It's an article that likely w

I hate elections. Oh, I love the process, and I am eternally grateful that we live in a country that affords us all the right to vote. But I hate the election year stupidity. And it becomes the worst every four years when the presidency is up for grabs. The thing I hate most about this time of year isn?t the crappy local campaign ads. It?s not the obnoxious yard signs. It?s not the long-winded political debates. It?s the celebrities? and their pretentious self-importance. Throu

Driving past Inesco Field again today, I noticed that there are actually TWO billboards for Oliver Stone?s W across the street from where Barack Obama will give his big speech this week. One facing traffic from each direction. I?ll upload some more photos to flickr later, including documentation of Gloria Alred, caught in a mob of Hillary supporters chanting references to the Dixie Chicks. But now, off to a screening of the Lee Atwater doc that infanously premiered at LAFF a coupl

August 25, 2008 Discussion, Open Thread ? While we?re all fans of country music here, many of us enjoy other styles as well, be it rock, rap, jazz, classical or R&B.?? Sometimes, the songs from those genres would be perfect fits for country artists.?? I?m going to match up a few, and I invite you to do the same in the comments. I?ll start with John Lennon, the guy who is responsible for 80% of the Beatles songs I love and the only one that I enjoy the solo work of, too.?? I was goi

Daddy Yankee se endosa John McCain? Yep, the reggaeton superstar is giving the GOP candidate his vote, and made a surprise visit to a McCain campaign stop at a Phoenix high school. Well, I guess it can't all be Toby Keith and Jessica Simpson. From The Swamp: The Reggaeton star walked in, hugging the girls and slapping hands with the boys as the girls cried "Oh my God," and fanned their flushed faces. Daddy Yankee described himself as "a man of few words with a lot of action." "I

It's been five years since Metallica's last studio album, St. Anger, and nearly two decades since the band's original fans have been satisfied with Metallica's musical offerings. With their upcoming ninth studio effort, Death Magnetic, due out September 12, 2008, the Bay Area original masters of metal will seek to recapture the magic of their 1986 multi-platinum Master of Puppets. To help them with this endeavor, Metallica ditched long-time producer Bob Rock in favor of Rick Rubin, t

August 25, 2008 Single Reviews ? Sugarland, riding the wave of their #1 album Love on the Inside, jumps right back on country radio?s wagon?with a waltz, no less. ?Already Gone? seems to be an attempt to cleanse our palates from the sweeter-than-sugar ditty ?All I Want to Do?, their chart-topping bubblegum pop smash. It?s easily much more distinctive, in terms both musically and conceptually.? Nettles takes on the identity of a young woman learning life?s lessons through her own pe

August 23, 2008 Discussion, Open Thread ? I did a post similar to this last November (?Songs I Hate by Artists I Love?) but readership has grown exponentially since then, and the topic complements yesterday?s perfectly. Since I already hit up the Dixie Chicks, Alan Jackson, Dolly Parton, Pam Tillis and Dwight Yoakam back then, I?ll turn my sights on another act that I rarely find fault with: Trisha Yearwood. There are only two Trisha Yearwood albums that I don?t particularly care
