• Record Store Day will officially make April 19 both Holy and Good Saturday

    Christians are familiar with the ascribed names for the days leading up to Easter Sunday: Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday. Saturday's always been an afterthought however, as nothing particularly relevant to the religion happened. If you happen to be a Christian who digs vinyl records, you may refer to April 19 as both Good and Holy Saturday, as it's been officially confirmed as Record Store Day 2014.

  • Shania Twain to play Calgary Stampede; is a full tour next?

    There seems to be something a-brewing in the camp of a huge '90s country star, and for once we aren't talking about Garth Brooks. Music Times has spotted indications that Shania Twain might be going on tour, or at least playing true concerts, for the first time in more than a decade.

  • Are Neil Young and Jack White working on a covers album?

    As previously reported, Jack White has revealed that he is "producing two albums this month, and finishing them," clarifying that "one of them is mine." After evidence was confirmed from a source associated with the project, the other album might be a covers album with Neil Young.

  • Britney Spears, Sia go acoustic for light new version of 'Perfume' [LISTEN]

    Britney Spears' "Perfume" may be the singer's favorite song on the album, but the heart-wrenching ballad failed to live up to industry expectations, receiving mediocre reviews and only peaking at No. 76 on the Billboard Hot 100. Now, however, "Britney Jean" single No. 2 has gotten a new acoustic mix from Ms. Spears and the song's writer, Sia, and with a stripped down take, "Perfume" gets a spritz of fresh air.

  • David Letterman freaks out after seeing The Orwells perform, demands an encore

    It's starting to become pretty clear what kind of music gets 66-year-old David Letterman hyped up: high-energy garage rock. We first noticed it when Letterman freaked out over Cage the Elephant's performance of "Come A Little Closer" on the Late Show last year. Now he's at it again with Chicago rockers The Orwells, who happened to be one of our first Tuesdays Under 21 featured artists. They made their network television debut last night on the Late Show, performing the lively title track of their latest EP, Who Needs You.

  • Appeals Judge upholds conviction of Michael Jackson's doctor

    A California appellate court has upheld Dr. Conrad Murray's conviction in the case of Michael Jackson's death, verifying the death was a case of involuntary manslaughter, according to The Washington Post. In a 68-page ruling, there was substantial evidence that Murray had administered the lethal dose of anesthetic propofol that killed the King of Pop.

  • Throwback Thursday: “Alphabet Town” by Elliott Smith

    Elliott Smith's saturated voice drips with longing, ringing out every last drop until you're left as dried up and empty as the characters in "Alphabet Town." It's a song set against a backdrop that takes on a haunting mood of its own. The harmonica is used delicately; when it fades out all that's left is the lingering echo of Smith and his acoustic.

  • Guns 'n' Roses, Avenged Sevenfold, Kid Rock headlining Columbus's Rock on The Range

    Music festival announcement season has swung into full gear, and after looking at a couple of lineups, you get the idea for the rest. Many kudos to the many worthy alternative and indie rock bands touring the festival circuit this summer, but few festivals include anything representing the harder-rocking/metal side of music (we're stoked for Deafheaven at Governor's Ball). Rock on The Range, based in Columbus, OH, is the place to be for those into "weight room rock." The show's eighth incarnation brings headliners again.
