Now that's what we call a serious fucking early bird....

By Fred Mills

With All Tomorrow's Parties New York not even fading from memory yet (it was only last weekend), the ATP organization has already announced ATP NY 2009 - it will be held in roughly same bat-time, same bat-place fashion: September 4-6 at Kutsher's Country Club in Monticello, NY.

Early bird tickets are already on sale now through November 1, and since this year's event sold out, if you can plan your calendar a full year ahead, it would be a good idea to make the plunge now. At present the price is $225 for a three-day pass. (This despite the fact that selling tickets a year in advance smacks vaguely of Celine Dion-in-Vegas syndrome; not that ATP will be banking (and earning interest) on millions of bucks like La Dion, of course.)

According to ATP, "The three-day festival will have performances starting in the mid-afternoon, with around 35+ acts set to play live across the weekend with DJ sets until late at night, comedy, movies and more! There is dining, bars and other amenities onsite."

Acts have not been announced, but as usual plan on a musician to be named as guest curator for one of the evenings, plus more installments of the "Don't Look Back" recreate-classic-indie-albums series.

Percy reportedly ruffled over the others bringing in a ringer? Eh.

By Fred Mills

The rock press shifted into hyperdrive this morning after Britain's The Sun reported that a full-on Led Zeppelin reunion is finally underway, with music websites and watchdog blogs such as Idolator taking a look at the prospects with a mixture of wishful thinking and skepticism. Naturally we can believe everything we read in the British press, eh?

The Sun report, titled "Led Yep," claimed that Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and John Bonham's kid Jason had all but given up on Robert Plant signing on for a reunion - he's been busy all year with his Raising Sand project featuring Alison Krauss and had stated that the one-off reunion concert last December in London was enough whole lotta loving for now - so they'd been rehearsing with what the paper referred to as "stand-in singers... one American was so impressive they were confident they could hit the road next year without Plant."

The trio had been rehearsing in London and a "source" close to the band told the paper, "The band is really gelling. There's an American guy who has been standing in for Robert regularly and doing a great job. Obviously they want the original frontman to join them on the road but he still won't commit. They will be finalising plans for shows over the next couple of months and will tell Robert that if he doesn't want to be involved they will go ahead without him."

At that point, when he heard of the rehearsals, Plant reportedly got antsy and told them he'd come along after all.

That proverbial "source" for the story was quoted thusly:

"The rest of the band had all but given up on Robert joining them, but they were determined to go ahead so had started to seriously explore other avenues. When Robert realised the band were serious about doing it without him, it made him think long and hard. He realised he couldn't face the thought of not being involved. The band were over the moon when he told them the news. They are now forging ahead with the tour plans and they can't wait to get on the road."

***

Pardon us if BLURT weighs in on the side of "bemused." The likelihood of Page, Jones and Bonham hiring a ringer is extremely low if you look at how consistent their track record had been over the years in regards to both actions and actual statements to the press. (These are not the ersatz Doors, in other words - their frontman is still very much alive and kicking.) A far stronger possibility is that they were simply rehearsing and felt that using a stand-in until Plant actually could join them later in the year would make working out the arrangements, song cues, etc. a lot easier than if they did it all as an instrumental 3-piece.

Hey, as long as we're at it, how about a semi-viewable video of Led Zep last December doing the most-played rock song of all time? Does anyone remember laughter?

New digital EP to be released on October 28^th

By Blurt Staff

The Heavy drug themselves across Europe this summer, taking their powerful guitar hooks with them.  They rocked crowds at the Sonar Festival in Barcelona, the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, and the UK Latitude Festival in Norfolk.  They also howled across Germany, Poland, and Belgium, definitely scaring small children along the way. 

The band is now ready to bring the scary State-side, as an encore to their US run this past Spring. Come October/November, the band will stomp through a 5-city US Tour and according to the bands press release, will be "wielding a battle-axe, a road map, and the hardest-hitting live set you'll have the opportunity to see this year."  Yikes. 

The band is also releasing a digital EP entitled Set Me Free on October 28^th, just in time for Halloween.  The iTunes version of the EP will feature and exclusive cover of Johnny Cash's "Doing my Time."  Also, The Heavy collaborated with the Crystal Method to cover Louis Armstrong's "Zat You, Santa Claus?" which was released on Verve's Christmas album on September 23^rd.

The Heavy does "That Kind Of Man":

We're just gonna refer to the album as "This Is It" from here on out...

By Fred Mills

The foxiest guitarist in indie rock is about to hit the road. We're talking ace shredder Marnie Stern, who follows up her debut  In Advance of the Broken Arm with the new, somewhat awkwardly titled This Is It And I Am It And You Are It And So Is That And He Is It And She Is It And It Is It And That Is That (due next month from Kill Rock Stars).

According to the label the record has Stern "tempering her dizzying guitar acrobatics with pop elements in what promises to be another impressive and inviting project."

Well, all right then! She'll be opening dates for Gang Gang Dance and delivering her "contagious excitement, uniquely friendly thrash, and maybe a Rodney Dangerfield impression if you're lucky."

We're all about Rodney Dangerfield at BLURT.

Still hanging on that telephone after all these years...

By Blurt Staff

Power pop godfather Paul Collins - yes, that Paul Collins, who during his ‘70s heyday in the Nerves (w/Peter Case) penned the classic tune "Hanging On the Telephone," famously covered by Blondie - may seem to have gone silent on these shores, but his as active as ever overseas, particularly in Spain where his latest studio album Ribbon Of Gold was issued this past March by Spanish label RockIndiana. Now the record has dropped Stateside via the tastemakers at Get Hip.

What follows is the scoop from the label, ‘cause we know you need it and we don't want to leave a word out. Oh, and check the videos at the very bottom.... You just might get a surprise or two...

***

Produced by Chips Kiesby (Hellacopters, Nomads) Ribbon of Gold features 10 new songs from pop's illegitimate son, Paul Collins. After a 12 year recording silence, Paul Collins re-surfaced with Flying High, recorded at home with his new comrade in arms, guitar slinger Octavio Vinck and what would become the start of his new Spanish band. Flying High was a simple affair sporting songs that spanned Paul's musical career and landscape, from the Beat-ish power chords of Rock n Roll Shoes and More Than Yesterday, to the all out melodic pop of Helen to the roots rocking Will You Be A Women the record encompasses all the facets of Paul's writing ability, showcased with a simple and straight forward production style.

"We wanted to let the songs do the talking," says Paul, "I knew that there would be a lot of skepticism about me making a record after all this time, as Elvis Presley once said ‘Pop music changes every 6 months' I felt that the best thing for us to do is to present the songs in a simple unassuming way, plus without any real budget or producer I knew there would be no way to make a "Big Rock" record. I was really starting from scratch again, but with the help of Octavio I knew we could do it!"

3 years later and hundreds of shows under their belt it has become a reality! The Paul Collins' Beat has performed all over Europe and is making their second trip to SXSW this year. Old fans and new are always satisfied as they jump up and down to the old classics like Rock n Roll Girl and Don't Wait Up For Me that sound right at home with the new songs like Afton Place and All Over Town. Make no mistake, the live show delivers, from The Nerves to The Beat and now the Paul Collins' Beat the band cranks through over 30 years worth of music, old and new, seamlessly!

While performing at the Road To Ruins Festival in Rome, the band met up with producer Chips Kiesby, most known for his work with Swedish rock bands The Nomads and The Hellacopters. As Paul tells it, "Juancho, my manager and bass player, and I were hanging out backstage after the show when we saw this guy with bright red hair! I asked Juancho, "Who the hell is he?" Juancho said, "That guy is one of the best producers around!" I walked up to him and said, "Hi I'm Paul Collins wanna produce our next record?" And he said "Yeah!" Several months later the band was in Gutenberg, Sweden recording Ribbon of Gold. "Now I knew it was time to make the Big Rock Record!" Says Paul about the recording, "I knew this was my chance to make a record with a big production, but I wanted it to be a record that we could play live, that kept it honest for me, Chips was the perfect producer, he knew the band, he was a fan of my early work and he knew how to bring my sound to tape!"

The results are clear, one listen to Ribbon of Gold and it's obvious that Collins is as good as he ever was, the songs bristle with excitement, they rock, they roll and they showcase what is undeniably one of America's foremost talents. From his humble DIY beginnings with The Nerves, to his Major Label years at Columbia Records and the subsequent Indy years Paul Collins proves without a shadow of a doubt that he is here to stay! As Collins will always tell you....
"Keep on Rocking!"

Start of the Little Honey tour tears the roof off the sucka...

By Fred Mills

Last night's (Sept. 25) Little Honey tour opener for Lucinda Williams brought a raft of surprises. First of all Williams, whose new Lost Highway album arrives in stores on Oct. 14, was scheduled to kick off the 27-city run at Asheville, NC's Thomas Wolfe Auditorium, but at the last minute slow ticket sales prompted a move of the show to the considerably more intimate Orange Peel club.

A lesser artist might have bitched and moaned about the situation - the change undoubtedly forced some compromises in the staging and lighting, and there were indeed a few technical glitches, primarily involving out-of-focus images on the above-stage screen projections - but instead, Williams and her band Buick 6 took the challenge as an opportunity to seek out the silver lining. A nearly 2 ½ hour show ensued, and by the end the packed venue had been reduced to aching feet, sore palms, hoarse throats, and ear-to-ear grins. Williams herself seemed positively thrilled at the response, chatting with the audience, dancing with the band members, and in general feeding off the proverbial tight-but-loose vibe that is the hallmark of any great concert.

BLURT's own Fred Mills was on hand and will be filing a full review of the show early next week for our site. In the meantime, though, he agreed to answer a couple of questions.

BLURT: How many folks were on hand at the show?

MILLS: I would estimate around 800-850. The capacity of the Orange Peel is 942, but they also had a small section on the right side of the room set apart for chairs, maybe 75 or so, possibly as a concession to folks who were disappointed they wouldn't be attending a sit-down show as they'd originally envisioned when they bought tickets for the Thomas Wolfe. Ticketholders were also offered the option of returning the tickets to the box office and getting a full refund if they didn't want to go to the club - I know of at least one couple who took that option because they'd planned on taking their two kids with them.

BLURT: So slow ticket sales forced them to move the show?

MILLS: I wouldn't say "forced." But no artist wants to be looking out at a venue that's only about half-full, and the Thomas Wolfe holds 2,431 at capacity. And to be honest, as you said in your intro above, it turned out to be a smart move. The audience was ecstatic to see Williams up close and personal - in the past she's usually played the Thomas Wolfe - and it really seemed like she enjoyed the interaction herself. Aside from a potential beating the promoter took on the deal, it turned out to be a win-win situation for everyone. The fans, the band, even the club, as this was a crowd of serious drinkers. Make that a win-win-win situation. As an aside, I should point out that the Asheville area has been hit by a severe gasoline shortage during the past week and it's still a problem, so I'm betting that affected ticket sales too. If you only have enough gas to get to work and back, you can't be driving into town for routine entertainment options.

BLURT: What did Williams play?

MILLS: The focus was definitely on the new album, especially during the first hour or so. She opened with the album-opener, "Real Love," and included other new songs such as "Tears Of Joy," "Jailhouse Tears" - which on the record is a duet with Elvis Costello and last night had her great guitarist Doug Pettibone taking the E.C. role - and "Wishes Were Horses." Lots of Luce gold, too: "Out Of Touch" just killed, and she had a neat subtle political intro for it when she said, "I think this is appropriate for the times..."; "Essence" really hit a lot of G-spots for both the guys and the girls; and "Real Live Bleeding Fingers and Broken Guitar Strings" was another anthemic high point. Interestingly, and I stand to be corrected, I don't recall her doing anything from her last album, West, which was fine with me, as I thought that record was overblown and sterile-feeling.

     I should mention the end of the show as well: Lucinda gave a little speech that was certainly pro-Obama, but she stopped short of preaching and simply emphasized how important it was to vote this year - and then the band eased into Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth" just to underscore the urgency surrounding the upcoming election. After that they tore into AC/DC's "It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock ‘n' Roll)," which is also the closing song on Little Honey - I mean, how cool is that, Lucinda covering fucking AC/DC! - and at this point the whole Orange Peel roof just blew clean off.

BLURT: That's a metaphor, right?

MILLS:  Uhhh....

BLURT: You seem a pretty professional guy. Good looking, too. Why aren't you reviewing the show for somebody like USA Today?

MILLS: I'd sooner slit my throat.

BLURT: We can arrange that. When are you going to write your review?

MILLS: As soon as I can. I'm a busy guy. Hopefully by Monday. Are we done here?

Video of Palin competing in beauty pageant judged and found wanting.

By Randy Harward

So… Did you see this? It’s Sarah Palin, then known as Sarah Heath, competing in the swimsuit event of the 1984 Miss Alaska a beauty pageant. It was 1984, so her one-piecer (red, of course) isn’t as puritanically prudish as it may seem. Her hair is, though—and frankly, she’s got some cottage cheese happenin’. Watch the turn: it ain’t pretty.

The Huffington Post reports the footage was supplied by an Alaskan who swears it’s for real. Since the announcer talks about how Sarah led her basketball team to the Alaska State Championship, which is how she got the nickname Sarah Barracuda and went on to piss off Heart’s Ann and Nancy Wilson. Here’s more from Palin’s introduction:

Sarah says she wants to prepare for a career in television broadcasting by majoring in telecommunications and political science. It is no wonder that she has also been recognized by 'Who's Who?' since she has displayed her leadership in all areas, from academics to student politics to athletics... Ladies and gentlemen, contestant no. 8, Sarah Heath.

You can see more at the HP’s post or watch the YouTube embed below. If you choose the latter, act fast: YouTube has evidently removed the clip several times. One clip removal notice says, “This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Splash News,” but BLURT thinks she’s just worried about pissing off the evangelicals by showing more saddlebag than Jesus would allow. What’s more, the original poster claims, “If you think this clip is good, wait until you see her play her flute in the talent competition...” And you know a wholesome candidate can’t have that circulating, lest she become the next Popsicle Twin.

Self-titled mid'70s album oftenr overlooked but highly regarded.

By Blurt Staff

November 11 will bring a much anticipated "collector's edition" of the late Warren Zevon's self-titled major label debut from Rhino Records. 1976's Warren Zevon, originally issued by Asylum Records, will include the original album remastered, along with a bonus disc filled entirely with unreleased demos and alternate versions of album tracks.
 

The story behind the album is intriguing: Zevon moved to Spain in the summer of 1975, dropping out of the music business after nearly a decade. During his self-imposed exile, he performed regularly at the Dubliner, a colorful bar owned by a former mercenary who helped Zevon pen the classic, "Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner." Zevon's luck changed when his friend Jackson Browne contacted about a recording deal; he ultimatedly signed with Asylum in '75 and got to work on an album.  

Browne produced the album and also enlisted some of the West Coast's biggest names to help out on the album, including members of the Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, David Lindley and J.D. Souther. Providing Zevon with an outlet for his pent-up creativity, he unleashed a barrage of sharply observed songs that pulse with dark wit and sophisticated melodies. Many of his best-known tracks are included here, such as "Hasten Down The Wind," "Poor Poor Pitiful Me," "Carmelita" and "Mohammed's Radio" -- all of which  were later covered by Linda Ronstadt. The album also contains "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead," "Frank And Jesse James" and "Desperados Under The Eaves," a song Zevon wrote about staying at the Hollywood Hawaiian Motel with no way to pay his bill.

 
The bonus disc uncovers 15 unreleased tracks, including different versions  of every song on the album. Several demos capture Zevon alone at the piano, including a poignant take on "Frank And Jesse James," a song he wrote while touring with the Everly Brothers. A demo Zevon recorded for "Hasten Down The Wind" features a full band. In addition, the collection presents alternate versions of "Poor Poor Pitiful Me" and "Carmelita" along with different takes from the sessions for "Join Me In L.A." and "Desperados Under The Eaves." The live bonus track of "Mama Couldn't Be Persuaded" was recorded in October 1976 during an appearance on the Cleveland radio station, WMMS.
