Queen Release 'Stone Cold Crazy' Video From Upcoming Release

Due September 8 (September 9 in North America) and available in a variety of formats, "Live At The Rainbow '74" presents Queen live over two shows at the famed London venue.

The first show, on March 31, 1974, saw Queen perform tracks from their newly-released album, "Queen II." The set features over a dozen tracks never previously released on any official Queen live album.

Recorded by Roy Thomas Baker, the recordings were originally scheduled to become Queen's third album (and debut live album), presented as a career-defining release like James Brown's "Live At The Apollo" or The Who's "Live At Leeds." But Queen's creative momentum produced a stack of new songs begging to be recorded and instead of releasing the live album, the band went into the studio to record what was to become 1974's breakthrough album, "Sheer Heart Attack."

Classic George Harrison Interview Animated

"I think anything impressed me� in those days!" By 1987, George Harrison wasn't impressed with much: after the Beatles called it a day. George made a bunch of solo albums, but by the late '80s, had slowed down his output considerably, although he'd just returned with Cloud Nine, his first album in five years - a long time between albums back then. That was a top ten album, and yielded the No. 1 hit single, "Got My Mind Set On You." Another song on the album, "When We Was Fab," saw him looking back on his days as a member of the Fab Four.

In the interview, Harrison takes umbrage with the way the Beatles' history was being told. "I think a lot has been written about how John was the big hero. Paul certainly said [Lennon] was our own Elvis. Well, we certainly liked him and loved him like that, but we were all hot to trot."

The year after this interview, Harrison formed a new band, the Traveling Wilburys, with Bob Dylan (one of his biggest influences) and Roy Orbison, as well as two Beatlemaniacs, Tom Petty and former Electric Light Orchestra leader Jeff Lynne. Their debut, Vol. 1, was also a top ten album, and was certified triple platinum, proving the George was still "hot to trot," all those years later.

Big Data Explains Love/Hate Relationship With The Internet

Part of Big Data's early success can be attributed to Facehawk, Wilkis' interactive music video that takes a user's Facebook status updates and models them into a 3D hawk, set to the song "Dangerous." He then corralled friends into making music video based on a ludicrous marketing campaign for sneakers that make the wearer head-butt those around him to death. But Big Data's big break came at the hands of radio and with this new attention came management and a major label record deal.

A heavy user of technology, Wilkis focuses each Big Data song on a particular digital issue. Wilkis describes his band as a "paranoid electronic music project from the Internet, formed out of a general distrust for technology and the cloud (despite a growing dependence on them)." It's no secret that Wilkis and his mates love tech, but they're conflicted about how much of themselves they're willing to give up to this digital beast with an insatiable appetite for personal information.

In a phone conversation with Radio.com, Wilkis broke down why he's so obsessed with the Internet and the way we all blissfully interact with it. Check out the interview here.

Sturgill Simpson Impressed Zac Brown With 'Metamodern' Country

And in his case, the change positively stunning. He's married now with a new baby who's turning his life upside-down at home. And at the same time, that music he'd been playing all his life is now wowing fans and critics alike, thanks to his acclaimed new album Metamodern Sounds in Country Music.

Metamodern Sounds is a purely independent project, yet since its release in May, Simpson has already appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman, gotten a backstage visit from David Byrne (he's a big fan of the album) and received a personal invite from country superstar Zac Brown to open arena shows on his Great American Road Trip tour this summer.

"We've done three so far and it's been great," Simpson told Radio.com about the experience so far with the Zac Brown Band. "They've been absolutely great to us, the whole crew, Zac, everybody. It's an amazing opportunity to go out and get in front of that many people. Especially when you find out the other guy [Brown] pegged you himself just because he likes your music."

Despite playing music since he was young, Metamodern Sounds in Country Music is only Simpson's second collection of songs (his first, High Top Mountain, came out in 2013). The album even debuted at No. 11 on the Billboard country album chart, a rare feat for an independent artist.

"There's a lot of hype," Simpson admits, referencing the seemingly endless stream of interviews he's been conducting and all the praise he's earned around the release. "But I think it's all organic. People are responding, so it makes us proud."

Center stage on Metamodern Sounds are some of the finest country songs you'll hear this year, all wrapped up in Simpson's rich, full baritone voice. Strong but never overburdened, his vocals work as well on gentle ballads as they do on heavier, more guitar-driven material. As a singer, Simpson is frequently compared to Waylon Jennings - which is not off the mark, as the two do share vocal qualities, and much of the album's production does echo the sparse, unhurried sound of Waylon's early-1970s releases like This Time and Dreaming My Dreams.

The deeper you listen, however, the more complex things get. Lead track "Turtles All the Way Down," for instance, has a lot more going on than its pared-down structure and easygoing rhythm might at first imply. Alongside a sound that appears inspired by 'outlaw'-era artists like Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, Mickey Newbury and the late Tompall Glaser, the song references Stephen Hawking in its title and includes lyrics that touch on Jesus, Buddha and various psychedelic substances-not to mention "reptile aliens made of light" that can "cut you open and pull out all your pain."

Simpson doesn't see what all the fuss is about. "A lot of people have said it's progressive and groundbreaking-I didn't think it was that progressive," he said of the song. "I mention a few hallucinogenic substances, but outside of that I don't think it's all that cutting edge. I was shocked that a lot of journalists put that spin on it." At the same time, he admitted: "I doubt anybody's ever talked about DMT in a country song."

At its heart, he said, "It's just a very simple country ballad. We just had some fun with the production values and a lot of the old analog techniques that are probably outdated, especially in the modern country sonic landscape."

Further songs on the album, though, such as "Long White Line" and "Life of Sin" (the latter of which Simpson played during his Letterman appearance) are less esoteric in their reference points, though no less powerful in their emotional impact. The album closes with "It Ain't All Flowers," a wilder and less-contained track that employs backward tracking and appears to sonically revisit the spiritual and mental transformations referenced in "Turtles."

Which, Simpson said, are sort of the theme behind the album as a whole. "I call it my last existential dilemma, I guess. Night time reading. It's all over the place, it's a very loose concept." He pauses at this point, admitting that he's a bit tired of hashing through the metaphysical themes as well as the heady reading list that inspired some of the lyrics. "To be honest I've probably talked about it a thousand times more than I spent writing it," he said of the album. "I don't know how much left I have in the tank [laughs]." A lot more.
