Watch Echo & The Bunnymen’s Ian McCulloch Live at Rolling Stone

When Rob Sheffield caught Echo & the Bunnymen in New York recently, frontman Ian McCulloch in rare form, pausing mid-song to announce, “Quiet down — this is a speech. If I play my cards right it might be a soliloquy. Can anyone spell soliloquy?” McCulloch didn’t challenge anyone to a spelling contest when he stopped by the Rolling Stone studios to play not one but three stunning songs for us, including the awe-inspiring “The Killing Moon.” Enjoy the Ocean Rain classic above, and watch the Liver

Echo and the Bunnymen, The Black Keys Rock the Muddy Masses at All Points West

Photo: Bedder/GettyNevermind the slew of commemorative cash-ins and merchandise that have emerged in time for the 40th anniversary of Woodstock; Sunday at All Points West almost turned out to be a living, breathing, squelching, real-life re-enactment of the epochal 1969 mud-bath. (Check out the best of All Points West, in photos.) Early arrivals to day three of the festival were first denied entry and subsequently herded into the nearby ferry terminal like poncho-wearing refugees as torrential

"Do You Like Rock Music?" by British Sea Power

Yes. Oh wait, that title’s supposed to be a rhetorical question. British Sea Power’s third record intentionally runs the gamut on different alt-rock sounds that have waxed and waned in popularity over the last few years. The album's variety—and willingness to use sounds of the genre that aren't necessarily en vogue—shows that the band is answering their own question with a resounding "duh." That they’re aware of this gives Rock Music/a certain feel of deliberateness, which begs the return question: if they could appropriate whatever sound they felt like, why not push themselves a bit to new, different sounds, or arrangements? Throughout the first half of the record, they riff on the post-punky sounds of Bloc Party and Gang of Four during “No Lucifer,” and there’s some wispy, faux-crecendoing a la Arcade Fire during “Waving Flags” and “Canvey Islands.” As with most current bands, there is the obligatory '80s, Echo and the Bunnymen-meets-New OrderRide or Luna, than the twitchy

Britney Spears Confirms “Blackout” Tracklist and Art, Paul McCartney Divorce Settlement Still Unresolved, Ray Davies Plans Prince-Like LP Giveaway

Britney Spears revealed that the Blackout tracklist that was mistakenly leaked by the Germans is, in fact, the real lineup. Timbaland protege Danjahandz produced four of the twelve tracks, while Pharrell Williams appears on album closer “Why Should I Be Sad.” And yes, what you’re looking at is the final album cover. Paul McCartney and his ex-wife Heather Mills will hit divorce court next February after failing to come to a monetary settlement today. While it’s estimated that Macca could part with between twenty to seventy million pounds, the main stumbling block has been Mills’ reluctance to sign a gag order preventing her from discussing the marriage in a potential book deal. The Kinks’ Ray Davies will pull a Prince and distribute his new album Working Man’s Café as a giveaway in U.K. newspaper The Mail on Sunday on October 21st. Prince’s Planet Earth was given away in a similar fashion back in July. Further proof of the MP3 revolution: Download sales are up forty-five percent over 2006’s numbers, and experts predict iTunes and friends will likely rake in over a billion dollars in sales by 2012. Peter Hook’s post-New Order trio Free Bass, featuring Smiths bassist Mike Rourke and Primal Scream bassist Mani, have recruited Oasis’ Liam Gallagher, the Stone Roses‘ Ian Brown and Echo & The Bunnymen’s Ian McCulloch to contribute vocals to some instrumental tracks.
