Worship and Tribute is the second studio album by American post-hardcore band Glassjaw and was originally released in 2002. The band from Long Island, New York is fronted by vocalist Daryl Palumbo and guitarist Justin Beck. Worship and Tribute is the follow-up album to the debut album Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Silence (2000). The album peaked at #82 on the Billboard 200.
Like their debut, Worship and Tribute was produced by Ross Robinson. The album was engineered and mixed by Mike Fraser. Worship and Tributepresents a more melodic and mature Glassjaw, as they started to further include jazz and ambient influences, specifically in tracks like "Ape Dos Mil," "Must've Run All Day" and "The Gillette Cavalcade of Sports." Palumbo said of it: "It's a mélange of influences, a collage is what this band is all about. This record pays tribute to everything from Bad Brains to Anthrax to The Cure to Squeeze and so much more."

this from bobby hussy of The Hussy:
The split 12" features 7 new Hussy jams on one side and 6 new Digital Leather songs on the other. Foree plays keys on 4 of the Hussy songs with Bobby Hussy playing keys on the rest. The Hussy side was recorded and mixed by Bobby Hussy in the band's Madison, WI based studio. The Digital Leather side was recorded by Foree in his home in Omaha, Nebraska. Mastered by Justin Perkins. Artwork designed by The Faint's Todd Fink.
Released on May 6th via Southpaw Records who say:
When we first heard the talk of these two bands doing a split our interests were instantly piqued but we had no idea the turnout would be this good. Digital Leather's side give us six tracks of what Shawn called "love songs". These tracks are down right catchy but depressing at the same time, absolutely killer!
The Hussy gave us seven blistering punk tracks including a cover of Digital Leather's "Studs In Love"! Shawn also plays on four of The Hussy songs and this is some of our favorite material to date. Includes digital download.

new releases from our friends at MusicOnVinyl
These are four historic performances from the Fillmore East and West in 1970, at a time when Miles Davis was single-handedly bringing Jazz into the commercial Rock era. In their unedited form, all selections are previously unissued. The searing white heat of these concerts, originally issued in severely edited form, are now made whole. This set includes several bonus tracks like Wayne Shorter's "Paraphernalia" and "Footprints", an early version of "Miles Runs The Voodoo Down" plus a rare encore performance of Bitches Brew's "Spanish Key".
The visionary Bill Graham had booked Miles on a bill with The Grateful Dead at the Fillmore West and with fellow Columbia artist Laura Nyro in June 1970. The latter recordings are the earliest documented live performances of Miles's band when he hired two keyboardists--Chick Corea and Keith Jarrett, along with saxophonist Steve Grossman who had replaced Wayne Shorter. The rest of the rhythm section-keyboardist Corea, bassist Dave Holland, drummer Jack DeJohnette and percussionist Airto Moreira--were in the backbone of this band throughout this explosive period.
Curated by Carlos Santana, this set features fascinating firsthand accounts and profound insight into a seismic shift in American society, music, and culture. In a rare, in-depth interview, Miles--while listening to the concert playback--was "so excited about the music that he wanted every set, every note made available to the public..."

On October 16, 1992, New York City's hottest concert ticket was the live gathering of musical giants who'd come to Madison Square Garden to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Bob Dylan's first Columbia Records album.

Iconic singer, songwriter, musician, actress and philanthropist Dolly Parton is proud to release the brand new studio album Blue Smoke. Already released in Australia and New Zealand to much critical and commercial acclaim, Blue Smoke will be released in the rest of the world on May 12, 2014 – in advance of the Blue Smoke World Tour hitting England, Ireland, Scotland, Denmark, Germany, Norway and Sweden. The brand new album of the most honored female country performer of all time will be released on 180 gram audiophile vinyl on May 12, 2014 by Music On Vinyl and includes a free download card.
Blue Smoke reflects the character of the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee where Dolly Parton grew up, and the tone to an extent harks back to the rootsy, back-to-basics albums she put out at the turn of the 21st century. The majority of the songs are Dolly's own, but she has also recorded versions of Bon Jovi's "Lay Your Hands on Me" and Bob Dylan's "Don't Think Twice It's All Right" to round out the collection. Special guests on the album are Willie Nelson and Kenny Rogers.

New Jersey trash metal band Overkill were formed in 1984 and named themselves after a Motörhead album. They were one of the early trash metal bands to sign to a major label and started to become successful in the late '80s, when the genre became popular with bands like Anthrax, Exodus, Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Testament.
Taking Over is the second studio album by the band and was originally released in 1987. It was their first album to be released through Atlantic, who would release all of the band's albums up to W.F.O. (released in 1994). The track "Wrecking Crew" is considered one of the band's signature songs and was chosen to be the title of the band's official website (wreckingcrew.com). Both "Wrecking Crew" and "In Union We Stand" are almost always included on the band's set list.
Taking Over is a must-have for the fans and to celebrate the re-issue of this classic album, the first 500 copies will be numbered and printed on transparent solid green with solid yellow vinyl.

Never Die Young is singer-songwriter James Taylor's twelfth album, released in 1988. The album reached #25 on the Billboard 200 and was certified Platinum by the RIAA. The title track was the most successful single of the album and peaked at #80 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Both the single "Never Die Young" and the track "Baby Boom Baby" referred to the passage of time. While his aging contemporaries took various steps to keep up with changing fashions in music standards, James Taylor just kept playing a summer concert tour each year and periodically put out an album with songs that reminded his listeners why they liked him so much. The only unusual aspect of the album was that there was no big oldies cover from the '50s or '60s on the album. Every song on Never Die Young was written or co-written by James Taylor. 180 gram audiophile vinyl and Insert
