Since the advent of the mp3 era, there’s been a lot of talk about the death of the “album” as a medium for music delivery. As the argument goes, bands have no incentive to write forty-five consecutive minutes’ worth of content, since consumers no longer have to sit through three decent-to-mediocre tracks to get to the one they like, buried in the middle of side two. Now that the listening experience is entirely customizable, those deep cuts that never passed muster for airplay or “best of” collections will be tossed away like so many pot seeds, completely unheard by the audience that only cares about their favorite songs.

Many kids put together bands, but not all of them have the early success of Frontrunner. These local high school students have played at The Roxy, local music festivals, and the Whisky and have several gigs coming up including opening for Steven Adler on Feb 28. Their first show ever was at the Kibitz Room on September 3, 2007. Frontman and bass player, Jack Gallagher and drummer, John Rockwell go to Loyola. From Campbell Hall, Alex Canter plays organ and Sam Doniger, guitar. Frontrunner cites Aerosmith, Deep Purple, and Guns n Roses as their influences.

As Josh mentioned earlier, today's DVD re-release of the classic Rob Reiner fairy tale "The Princess Bride" is happening now to celebrate and coincide with the film's 20th anniversary. The problem for the MGM marketing team was how do you repackage a movie that everyone has seen and everyone loves, and everyone loves it so much they have probably memorized most of it? One way to do it is to create a title logo...

Every day at 6am we stoke you with the "Star Spangled Banner". Today we are playing a request that we got yesterday. When possible we love to take a good tip and make it happen. If you know of a really good rendition of our National Anthem, and it's on YouTube, do what this person did and just give us the url. The Aerosmith singer belted this one out during the World Series that...

Maybe we're crazy, but we can't think of anything finer than driving to San Berdu and seeing Aerosmith and Motley Crue tonight at the Glen Helen. The Crue are putting together a movie about their career and Aerosmith is simply rocking out. After the jump our favorite tune from Steven Tyler and the gents....

Although it might be tempting to stay home tonight to watch the results come in, they won't all be in until early tomorrow morning. So do yourself a favor and look at that list. Look at it. That is probably the best lineup of shows we've seen in LA all year. If you don't see a show tonight, on a beautiful night, pretty much the last day of summer, then well... good. More beer...

The 0 to 57 miles per hour in 2.8 seconds roller coaster featuring Aerosmith's music has always confused us. The premise in which the audience happens upon a recording studio with Aerosmith, who is late for their concert at The Forum, invite us backstage. But we have to hurry through LA traffic to get there! So when traffic is jammed, we got to get jammin' (on the alt route that is). If you look...
