• This Just In: Making Faces Again

  Fans of the rooster haircut and pub rock, rejoice! London’s The Mirror is reporting this afternoon that the surviving Faces are gearing up for rehearsals next week with a reunion tour to follow in the summer. All original living members are said to be involved, including keyboardist Ian McClagan, who has been an Austin-music fixture since relocating there in 1994. His weekly residency at Lucky Lounge is said to be killer. The only thing presumably stopping this whole thing from going off w

  Introducing a new column in which Rocks Off delves into the music of short-lived or overlooked performers of the classic-rock era... Who Dat? Billed as "America's answer to Led Zeppelin," this quartet was formed in 1969 by Vanilla Fudge rhythm section Tim Bogert (bass) and Carmine Appice (drums), Their first attempt to form a band with Jeff Beck and Rod Stewart fell through when the former suffered injuries in a motorcycle accident and the latter agreed to join the Faces.

  Yesterday marked a tremendous day for rappers and thrashers across the world: Metallica and Run-DMC were announced as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's newest inductees, along with Jeff Beck, Wanda Jackson, Little Anthony and the Imperials, Bobby Womack, two members of Elvis Presley's backing band and pianist Spooner Oldham. This will be Beck's second induction into the Hall. The British blues guitarist was first inducted in 1992 with the Yardbirds, where he replaced the departing Eric Clapto

  If productivity alone conferred greatness, then flinty rock scribbler Dave Thompson would be the Trollope of pop-culture quick reads. I Hate New Music is the latest of over 100 titles this insta-book wizard has blinked into being. And dig the intro penned by the legendary Richard Meltzer, the Big Bang of exhibitionist gonzo rock criticism. The former Noise Boy delivers his usual caveman-crit jibber-jabber, while making creative use of the CAPS lock and asterisk keys on his steam-powered IBM Word

• Sean Hannity To Torture Houston's Wallets

  Photo courtesy bobgo29What would you pay to see Sean Hannity in concert? No, we don't mean seeing him be waterboarded -- although he said he'd do that for charity, and Keith Olbermann offered to pay $1,000 to an Army charity for every second Hannity stood it, Sean-o somehow hasn't agreed to it yet.Hannity doesn't think waterboarding is torture; then again he doesn't think a concert line-up of Billy Ray Cyrus, the Charlie Daniels Band and Lee Greenwood is torture either.That's what he'll be bring

  Craig HlavatyUntil midnight tonight, the folks over at Live Nation are selling all lawn tickets to shows way out in the woody, mall-y expanses of the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion for just $24.99. The concert conglomerate has been running deals on Hump Day for about the past month to alleviate all this economic stress that has been plaguing our land, and came under fire recently when it came out that - although they were slashing prices - all those pesky fees and taxes were still being levied

• Cutout Bin: Censored and "Recalled" Album Covers

  The Beatles, Yesterday and Today (1966) We start with perhaps the best-known example of a "recalled" album cover. When advance copies were sent to stores and DJs, there was an immediate uproar over the cover, showing the band covered in baby parts and bloody meat. All copies were ordered to be returned to the manufacturer. These copies were "pasted over" with a new cover and sent back to stores. Only a handful of copies escaped the "repasting" and are of course valuable collector items. Many

Luckily, this week's Live Nation "All In" ticket deal requires minimal explanation: buy one ticket for Rod Stewart, the Fray, Crue Fest, Brad Paisley, Jason Mraz or Creed, get another one free. Bang. You have until midnight; see www.livenation.com.

• Aftermath: Rod Stewart at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion

  Craig Hlavaty​Ageism has always pissed off Aftermath immensely. There's something awfully arrogant and defeating about shamming older cats for still wanting to rock out, even if they are edging dangerously close to seventy years of age, as Rod Stewart is. No one begrudges B.B. King or Leonard Cohen for still shilling their songs, each sitting at eighty-three and seventy-four respectively. True it is, that to most people "The Thrill Is Gone" and "Bird on the Wire" hold much more weight than s

You don't have a Halloween costume, do you? Shame shame. But we figured.

  Last night was the seventh elimination round of this season's Dancing With the Stars, and the second one to see two people go home. I guess at this point in the season the gimmick is starting to wear off? In which case, why not just have fewer contestants to start? Then again, when 16.4 million people still tune in to the competition eps like Monday's, maybe I don't know what America wants. Let's do this!

Although really, most of you aren't watching the show and only read these blog posts with a sick fascination to see if I've actually snapped and killed anyone yet. And the few of you who do watch the show are crazier than I am. The results show kicked off, as always, with a repeat command performance of a dance from the night before. Th
