New Song from charlieonnafriday "Warning Shot"

LA based pop-rap artist charlieonnafriday has a new single "Warning Shot".

About the song Charlie states:

“’Warning Shot’ is a metaphor for the end of a relationship… you wish you had a heads up, but you're stuck with the feeling of the rug being pulled out from under you. The only thing that'll make you feel better is a round of shots at the bar with the homies.”

Album Review: Mannequin Pussy - I Got Heaven

Mannequin Pussy

I Got Heaven

***and1/2 out of *****

The Philadelphia, PA based quartet Mannequin Pussy's newest release, I Got Heaven on Epitaph Records, is a mix of caterwauling aggression and soothing serenity as the band toys with rock subgenres and feels at home in all that they offer up throughout this confident record.

Album Review: Grateful Dead - Dave's Pick's Volume 50: 5/3-4/77 Palladium NYC

Grateful Dead

Dave's Picks 50:

5/3&4/77 Palladium NYC

***and1/2 out of *****

Standard disclaimer: When reviewing the Dave's Picks series, and really any Grateful Dead release at this point, it needs to be noted that a lot of the truly great shows from the band have already been professionally released. (If new to the band, check out RtBE's Beginners Guide to The Grateful Dead Part's one and two.) With their vast back catalog on archive.org and all of their previous releases, the band's selections are running thin when it comes to must own, professionally released shows.

That said, this series still exists for a reason, obsessive fans (like RtBE) will always listen to anything from The Grateful Dead as Dave and his team continue to unearth rare gems.

Hey all, got a new review up @glidemag which you can read Right Chere!!!

It is of Fantastic Cat's record release show on Friday night June 7th at Brooklyn Made in Bushwick. 

The overarching feeling all night was fun, as the band was clearly living it up, as were the family and friends in the audience. RtBE loved Fantastic Cat's debut album, ranking it in our top five favorites of 2022, and will have a review of their newest up on the site soon.

Album Review: Bonny Light Horseman - Keep Me on Your Mind/See You Free

Hey all, got a new review up @glidemag which you can read Right Chere!!!

It is of Bonny Light Horseman's newest release, the double album, Keep Me on Your Mind/See You Free.

Another excellent release from this great folk act. Loved their debut (which made our year end list) and their sophomore album (which made our top ten in 2022) and this is even better so expect RtBE to talk about it during our best of 2024 as well.

Album Review: Phish - The Spectrum '97

Phish 

The Spectrum '97

**** out of *****

The newest archival release from Vermont jamband titans Phish comes from one of the best tours of their career as The Spectrum '97 captures two shows from Philadelphia on back to back nights from the Fall 1997 tour. 

New Video/Single from Billie Zizi "A Picture of a Picture"

Edmonton based singer/songwriter Billie Zizi has a new video/single out for her song "A Picture of a Picture".

About the track Zizi states:

Even the most significant memories can slide into obscurity. [A Picture of a Picture] is about searching for the lost memory of love and finding it only in fragmented shadows. Like a ghost, longing paces the imprint of the heart and lives in the recesses of one's mind, dull and intractable, a diffused grief - AKA when you break up and you can barely remember their smile but you’re longing for that ecstasy in the sunshine, that young love feeling, oblivion.

Album Review: Pearl Jam - Dark Matter

Pearl Jam

Dark Matter

***and1/2 out of *****

Back in 2020 Pearl Jam released Gigaton and RtBE asked what exactly is needed from a new Pearl Jam album, comparing that record to late era Rolling Stones releases. Since then, the Stones themselves released an album and we sorta asked the same thing. Now Pearl Jam returns with Dark Matter, bringing onboard the exact same producer the Stones used, and the questions continue.

Dylan Cover #633 The Walker Brothers "Love Minus Zero/No Limit"

In this ongoing Monday Series we will be exploring various artists versions of Bob Dylan song's. Today's tune comes from The Walker Brothers and is a cover of "Love Minus Zero/No Limit".

Thought's on Original:
From the first time we tackled a cover of this song:
A personal gateway song, the first Dylan love offering that truly spoke to me was "Love Minus Zero/No Limit". It is an easy song to like, with it's sweet melody and one that gets deeper and deeper the more you contemplate the lyrics. Dylan uses some insane imagery to put true love into words with surreal phrasing that delivers the goods in a way that is tough to describe. In one sense, this is peak Dylan, moving with grace, describing things uniquely and just out of reach.  

Cover:

Thoughts on Cover Artist:

The is the first time we are hearing The Walker Brothers an LA based outfit from the 60's. A group RtBE missed in our travels. 

Thoughts on Cover:

This is an interesting one. On one hand it is way over done dramatically with a drawn out ending and string section, yet the flamenco accents really work, as do the vocals. An interesting cover that can go either way, listen to it yourself.
