Motley Crue Have Their Day in Los Angeles

The Mayor of Los Angeles has declared today, July 31st, “Mötley Crüe Saints of Los Angeles Day” in the California city. The band will mark the occasion by joining a partnership with the Guitar Center on Sunset Blvd. to give back to local artists. So why are Motley Crue getting their own day? Anyone who’s read about the band’s debauch exploits in their biography The Dirt — which the band drew from for their new album Saints of Los Angeles — can attest to how much the band has contributed to the City of Angels. Tommy Lee and the gang better not enjoy Crüe Day that much, however, as the band is scheduled to play a concert in Phoenix, Arizona tonight.

News Ticker: Robert Plant, Digital Hip-Hop, Gnarls Barkley, Fall Out Boy

According to the U.K.’s Sunday Mirror, Robert Plant turned down £100 million, or around $200 million, to participate in a full Led Zeppelin reunion tour. A “band source” reportedly said that despite Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones’ eagerness to take their reunion on the road, Plant “wanted to leave last year’s concert as their legacy.” Plant is scheduled to embark on a joint tour with Alison Krauss in April. Indie labels Amalgam Digital and Def Jux are looking to stoke hip-hop digital sales (which lag far behind other genres) by expanding their online stores and including extras like bonus tracks, exclusive albums and a capella versions. “Who’s Gonna Save My Soul?” — the next single from Gnarls Barkley’s forthcoming The Odd Couple — has been leaked onto the Internet courtesy of the Roots’ ?uestlove, who posted the song (and his lip-synching of it) on his YouTube page. Fall Out Boy will release **** Live in Phoenix on April 1st. The CD/DVD set will feature a twenty-two-song live performance from last year’s Honda Civic Tour, their cover of Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” (featuring John Mayer on guitar), the band’s eight videos and behind-the-scenes footage and outtakes.

Phoenix Cover Bob Dylan’s “Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands”

Four albums into Phoenix’s career, we’ve come to expect infectious dance-pop singles like “Lisztomania” and “1901″ from the Grammy-nominated French quartet. So Phoenix’s acoustic cover of Bob Dylan’s “Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands,” recorded live for Germany’s Musikexpress (via P4K), comes as a surprising, refreshing change of pace from the band, as Thomas Mars and Co. deliver a pretty faithful rendition of the famed Blonde on Blonde closer — even though Phoenix’s version is truncated down to a

Watch Phoenix Talk Grammy Nod, Inspiration Behind Hit “1901 “

Rolling Stone caught up with Phoenix’s Deck D’Arcy and Laurent Brancowitz just days after the French rockers received their first Grammy nomination in the Best Alternative Album category for their fourth album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. The nod is a rare accomplishment for a band from France — so rare, in fact, that the group were clueless about its significance. “We were playing a show in New York when suddenly the head of our label came in the dressing room and looked very serious, so he told u

Tom Waits Spins Yarns, Sings About Jesus at Tour Opener in Phoenix

“The world is not my home,” Tom Waits sang on the opening night of his highly anticipated U.S. tour. “I’m just passing through.” One place Waits has always made his own is the stage, so no surprise that last night’s looked like a junkyard at midnight: nebulously lit and hung in mist. Flanked by a menacing installation of horn speakers crackling out old-time phonograph music and surrounded by a graveyard of cigar-box banjoes, bullhorns and ramshackle guitars, Waits’ sextet took the stage at Phoenix’s Orpheum Theatre around 8:30 and powered into a lurching medley of “Lucinda” and “Aint Goin Down to the Well.” Set against his own towering silhouette, Waits was a drawn sketch of twisted limbs: heaving and panting like a stalled locomotive. Clutching the microphone with both hands as if it were the only thing keeping him up, he stomped his workman’s boots so hard the floorboards coughed up thick clouds of dust into the spotlight around his legs. The 25 songs the band played were fever dreams from an old, weird America whose greatest trick has been convincing the world it’s been eradicated by modern life: an underworld of “Rain Dogs,” “Eyeball Kids” and “Black Market Babies”; of “Trampled Roses” and “Christmas Cards from Hookers in Minneapolis.” “Jesus Gonna Be Here” Waits coughed, but “God’s Away on Business.” Waits’ subjects are down and out American grotesques, and he spent the better part of his performance playing the demented preacher to that set: slightly oversized suit and bowler hat, arms spread out to their length, palms down, wide hands quavering or waggling an index finger. “Does life seem nasty, brutish and short?” he sang. “Come on up to the house.” Sonically, Waits still sings like the devil he’s slated to play in the new Terry Gilliam flick, and h
