Consider this a complete reversal from a previous photo of the day.

New George Harrison Documentary Trailer
Martin Scorsese has put together a documentary on the Beatles dark horse, George Harrison. If it’s even half as good as his documentary on Bob Dylan we are in for some serious shit.

Rock And Roll Isn’t Just a Life Style, It’s A Hair Cut Too
Grab a beer or grab your pack of cigarettes because their is a lot to take in here. TCM usually sticks to reviewing facial hair in all it’s glorious permutations and while that is a small factor in this we couldn’t help but show you the whole damn thing. We present to you a chart of rock and roll hair styles since it’s birth in the 1950′s till now.
Please note that Captain Polish’s looks strikingly similar to a mix of Prince and Bjork.
Big thanks to N. Schwartz for sending this to the Captains.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers Are Back…Kind Of
Last year, I reported on long time Chili Pepper guitarist John Frusciante’s departure and his subsequent replacement (and one time protege) Josh Kilinghoffer. The first single by the band has arrived with an album, I’m With You due out August 30. The song is called “The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie” and it’s not the triumphant return many had hoped for. It’s more of a Red Hot Chili Peppers lite (less calories but certainly less flavor) but by no means bad, just a little…disappointing.
Klinghoffer uses RHCP’s previous sound and adds his subtle textured guitar playing to take things in a slightly new version of their radio ready “funk”. The chorus while catchy, is a bit too stadium rock for this Captain’s ears. The backing vocals could also us a good boost in the mix as well.
I’ll admit, I’m moderately nervous about this new RHCP incarnation. The golden era of the band is over but i’m hoping the new blood will give this band the much needed kick in the ass it needs.

There Is A New Beastie Boys Video…And It’s Amazing
The Beastie Boys have been putting out some of the most amazing and hilarious videos ever since they debuted in 1986. Their newest, “Don’t Play No Game I Can’t Win” is no exception. It features some guest vocals from Santigold and lots and lots of action figures.
Expect much, much more Beastie Boys from TCM in the future. Shit’s just getting started.

The Strokes Are Back…Finally
About a year ago TCM reported that The Strokes had returned to the studio for the first time in 5 years ago to begin work on the follow up album to 2006′s, First Impressions Of Earth. Music from those sessions are finally being heard on the band’s first single, “Under Cover Of Darkness”.

The new album, Angles is due out March 22. It’s like having an old drinking buddy miraculously show up again.
I’m pretty sure this album cover should either be on the front of a trapper keeper or it’s an artist interpretation of a level from the Nintendo game Marble Madness.

R.I.P. White Stripes
Workaholic, Jack White disbanded his flagship group, the White Stripes. Unfortunately, this seems to have been in the cards for awhile do to their self imposing limits of only having two bands members and minimal overdubbing (along with no more than three instruments appearing per song). Simply put the band ran it’s course.
My biggest disappointment is not getting to see them live. I had tickets to see them on their Canadian tour that became the album, Under The Great Northern Lights in the Summer of 2007 but had to have an emergency appendectomy on the 4th of July. However, I have been fortunate enough to see his other band, The Raconteurs play twice and Jack White proved himself as being one of the only true “guitar heroes” of our generation and by far the most violent guitarist I’ve ever seen.
The good news is we can likely look forward to yet another band formed by White full of band members that look just like him.
The bad news is we probably won’t ever get to see Meg White’s big old titties flopping around the drum kit like a fish out of water ever again.
