• Saturday: Dash Rip Rock at the Continental Club

  A sort of swampy Supersuckers, New Orleans trio Dash Rip Rock - whose last album Hee Haw Hell was the rather ambitious cowpunk retelling of Dante's Inferno - have returned to more earthly concerns on the new Country Grilfriend (Abitian). That means, according to the liner notes, "songs [that] will be played at every tail-gating, fish fry, frat house, boat launch and beach party throughout the South."Sounds about right. There are songs about cranking Kid Rock on the way to the lake ("Let the Truc

• Aftermath Extra: The Best Concerts of the Year, Part 4

  Tom Waits, Jones Hall, June 22: "Us Rain Dogs fans had to make do with a spastic "Cemetery Polka" that was a fair representation of Waits' cross-pollination of beatnik jazz and guttural blues; whether or not he's your cup of bourbon, the man does have a unique sound." Peter Murphy, Meridian, July 10: "The rest of the set was dominated by snaky, sexual rock similar to the Cramps, Stooges or Gun Club that also flirted with metal in patches. This sound hit its zenith on Murphy's 1990 hit 'Cuts

• WTF Island: Jackson Five, Kid Rock, Glenn Danzig, Rock Camp and Assteroids

  Even as our economy continued to go up in flames like the Toyota Center, the carnival of WTF kept trolling along this week. It seemed that every day we saw something so asinine and foolish that we couldn't keep up. Jackson Family slavery museums, rock and roll fantasy camps, Kid Rock's new beer, "Assteriods" with Diamond Dave, and Glenn Danzig's new dating show kept WTF Island at full capacity. We found out this week that the Jackson Five's Marlon Jackson, brother of Michael, is helping to fin

• Bawitda-Brew

  If there's one thing that comes to mind when I'm craving a cold beer, it's a greasy, stringy, overrated singer from Detroit with a penchant for wifebeaters, sloppy seconds and further denegrating popular music. The Michigan Brewing Company apparently feels the same way, as they've just invested $7 million in creating a new line of beer inspired by Kid Rock.  Yes, Kid Rock.  No, I didn't know that he drank beer, either; I pegged him as more of a Colt .45 man myself.

But of course, we're not just going to give them to you. If you want them, just answer this trivia question: What other song besides "Sweet Home Alabama" did Kid Rock sample for last years super-mega jam "All Summer Long?" (Hint: it's the piano part at the beginning.) The first pe

  Photos by Kim Douglass What is this place? Where it's OK to wear tank tops that cut off mid-abdomen with a pair of Daisy Dukes and a straw cowboy hat? And is that Bret Michaels eating nachos? A place like this could make any outsider feel like Alice only instead of a wonderland, they may be at a NASCAR championship. Nope, wrong, there are no cars, glasses of milk, or overabundant smell of gasoline - only Bud Light tallboys, bleach blond hair, and lower-back tattoos, but what brings all of this

• He Said She Said: Songs Guaranteed to Offend the Opposite Sex, Part 2

  It's been 25 years since Tipper Gore and the ladies of the PMRC (Parents Music Resource Center) self-righteously rode the the rescue of delicate ears across America, claiming that rock music was "infecting the youth of the world with messages they cannot handle." It was the 1950s all over again. The list of the infamous "Filthy 15" songs that they claimed were highly objectionable seems almost laughable today, given the inclusion of such artists as Sheena Easton and Cyndi Lauper (who really lis
