Here's the dark, night-lit clip for Schoolboy Q's "Nightmare on Figg St.", one of the many highlights from the Black Hippy collective member's great new album, Habits & Contradictions.

What's your pleasure? February's new releases offer quite a variety: new studio releases, new live releases, new concert films, a new rock documentary. In other words, something for virtually every classic rock fan.
New release previews Fri, 20 Jan 2012 06:25:51 +0000

Over the next few weeks, new albums from Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, Bonnie Raitt, Meat Loaf (and the list goes on) will help get you through the rest of winter. Here's a look at upcoming new releases to watch.

Top 5 must-have classic rock DVDs Fri, 20 Jan 2012 04:44:01 +0000
It hasn't been all that long ago that I could count on my fingers the number of classic rock DVDs that came out in the course of a year. These days, though, there's a nearly constant stream of documentaries and concert films -- new and archival -- that make for some serious entertainment for classic rock fans.
This is a good thing, but even as enjoyable as it is to watch and write about them, the sheer volume of new video releases is such that, well, let's just say that I'm looking at you now over the tops of several stacks of DVDs that have been released just in the last few weeks.
Since you probably don't have any more time than I do, and since few if any of us have pockets deep enough to allow us to buy everything that's released, I've taken the liberty of culling out of the recent crop five new classic rock DVDs that are well worth your time and money.

Today, as first act for the Republican led 112th Congress, the new
majority is going to read the United States Constitution out loud.
Oh, the irony.
If there is real reverence for the document (notably the original copies of
the document in the late 1700s were scribed onto paper made from hemp…a staple commercial crop during America’s Revolutionary period
cultivated by many of the US Constitution’s original signers…an agricultural
product banned by US federal governments for
the last 74 years) by those who read the document and sit in rapture listening
to the words, then it should be clear to all in the Congress this morning that
Cannabis Prohibition is unconstitutional.
Why?
Where in the Constitution does the federal government derive the power and
authority to ban and criminalize such a utilitarian and life-enhancing plant species as cannabis?
The oft-lamented by conservatives Commerce Clause? This is where the liberals
in Franklin Roosevelt’s administration justified the federal government’s prohibition of cannabis in 1937. Both liberal
and conservative governments have argued strenuously, and successfully, in
federal courts that Cannabis Prohibition is lawful and sanctioned under the US
Constitution’s Commerce Clause.
Further, and most importantly, today’s Congress, notably the new
Constitution-loving majority, should listen carefully today when the reading
turns to the 1919 18th Amendment (which created Alcohol Prohibition) and the 1933 21st Amendment
(which, of course, repealed Alcohol Prohibition, which, like Cannabis
Prohibition, was a complete failure that created more problems than it solved
and unnecessarily conveyed policing powers from the states and cities to the
federal government).
Unless the new majority supports the continued use of the Commerce Clause to
justify federal intervention into state
sovereignty, for them to adhere and respect the U.S. Constitution (which each
member of Congress swears to uphold), they need to pass a constitutional
amendment post haste that prohibits the cannabis plant and criminalizes
its use, rather than rely on what many Americans consider a legislative fiat by the Congress that
created and has fostered Cannabis Prohibition for over eight decades.
Indeed new majority (and minority) in Congress, read and
respect the U.S. Constitution!
