Stream it in full below via Spotify. The 1969 classic set a new standard for rock experimentation, combining blues, free jazz, spoken narration, and discordant polytones across 28 expansive tracks. Trout Mask Replica was produced by Frank Zappa and released on the label he co-founded with Herb Cohen, Straight Records. After Zappa’s death in 1993, Straight Records fell into disarray.

While a subsequent deal with Warner Bros. liberated parts of the Straight catalog, other albums were hard to find until after Cohen’s death in 2010.

“It starts at 19 when he arrives in New York City,” a source familiar with the film tells Rolling Stone. “And also heavily involves the rest of the rest of the folk scene at the time.” Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, the then-hospitalized Woody Guthrie and other key figures of the scene will all be characters in the movie, according to the source.

'La Notte' (1961) There's good news and so-so news.

'La Notte' (1961)

The good news is I found a sterling print of La Notte (The Night), an Italian New Wave classic directed by Michelangelo Antonioni and released in 1961. The film stars Marcello Mastroianni, Jeanne Moreau and Monica Vitti, and was filmed on location in Milan. The movie centers on a day in the life of an unfaithful married couple and their loveless relationship. La Notte is the second part of a trilogy of films by Antonioni, starting with L'Avventura in 1960 and ending with L'Eclisse in 1962. [Photo above of Jeanne Moreau in La Notte] NPR Choice page.

Lou Reed's Lost Tapes and Back Pages

One side was a mix of live Reed songs recorded at recent tour dates. The other was an apparently homemade demo of a dozen songs based on his friend and mentor’s newly-published The Philosophy of Andy Warhol: From A to B & Back Again, published the same year. The idea, it seems, was to sketch out a kind of musical theater piece. NPR Choice page. Italian Romantic Pop: 1960s. Italy's golden era of romantic pop ran from roughly 1960 to 1965 but extended into the early '70s.

Italian Romantic Pop: 1960s

Prior to its arrival was the dated operatic pop of the 1950s. On the other end and overlapping was the banal yeah-yeah movement of the mid- and late 1960s. Sandwiched in between was this love-struck pop ballad style triggered by a new generation of young adults who were children during World War II. Documentary: Jim Hall.

All around Al Gore’s internet, you will find many, many videos of bands playing their songs in various live-in-studio settings. We at Stereogum do not usually post those videos. But right now, Big Thief are the exceptions to a whole lot of rules. Big Thief have had a tremendous 2019. They’ve released two great albums, U.F.O.F. and Two Hands. They’ve transformed their already-vital live show into something legendary. This morning, Big Thief shared videos of themselves playing the Two Hands tracks “Not” and “Cattails” live in Brooklyn’s Bunker Studios. NPR Choice page. Jim Heath is Reverend Horton Heat.

Reverend Horton Heat has been pushing the rockabilly envelope since 1985. Lead singer and guitarist Jim Heath is certainly the focal point, but his pal, Jimbo Wallace, has been slapping the upright bass alongside him for most of the ride. The album Whole New Life had just come out when I dropped in at Portland's Doug Fir Lounge to meet Jim before the (excellent) show to talk about almost 30 years of making records.
