The Rick Rubin produced full-length was #1 in France, New Zealand, Switzerland and Australia... and their entire North American tour is SOLD OUT. Now, that's impressive.

THE ROLLING STONES
rollingstones.com
Although most people associate The Rolling Stones as mainly Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, in the early days, it was really Brian Jones who was the band leader. A little trivia, but Jones was the person who came up with the band name, The Rolling Stones, on the fly via a phone call to Jazz News, based on Muddy Waters (on a track called "Rollin' Stone").
There is a new book by Paul Trynka called Brian Jones: The Making of the Rolling Stones, and that trivia, as well as other secrets are unveiled in this forthcoming biography. The book goes on sale October 13, 2014, on Viking Press.

A little trivia, but Jones was the person who came up with the band name, The Rolling Stones, on the fly via a phone call to Jazz News, based on Muddy Waters (on a track called "Rollin' Stone").
There is a new book by Paul Trynka called Brian Jones: The Making of the Rolling Stones, and that trivia, as well as other secrets are unveiled in this forthcoming biography. The book goes on sale October 13, 2014, on Viking Press.
Here are just some of the juicy new revelations in Brian Jones: The Making of the Rolling Stones:
• For the first time, Trynka reveals Jones’s troubled early life, including the cover-up of his sister’s death. He also reveals the existence of a previously unknown child, given up for adoption while Jones was still in his teens.
• Today, Keith Richards explains his entire guitar style is based on the distinctive Open G tuning, which he claims he learned in 1968. Trynka reveals how Keith actually learned the tuning from Brian Jones—who then used it on early Stones records!
• Brian Jones rewrites the musician’s early life, and details how he’d racked up over 100 gigs, at a time when his fellow Stones were still playing in their front rooms.
• “Brian was killed by the establishment.” Trynka reveals how the British police were determined to break the most controversial Stone, and attempted to bust him on at least seven occasions.
• The doomed love affair of Jones and Anita Pallenberg has been much discussed. Trynka reveals how the accepted version of how they met is completely wrong, and that Anita had been pursuing Brian for months, before finally catching her quarry.
• “You write these songs and give the name over as if Mick Jagger has done it!” With the aid of new witnesses, Trynka uncovers Jones’s contributions to Stones songwriting, and reveals the existence of previously unknown Jones songs, rejected by Brian’s enemy and Stones manager, Andrew Oldham.
• “The Stones surrounded themselves with horrible people.” Some of the Stones’ interband feuds are well-known—but Trynka reveals the sexual one-upmanship started right back at the band’s genesis, in 1962.
• Trynka rewrites the story of Brian’s breakdown—and how police persecution led him to rely on prescription drugs, which ruined his musical abilities.
• Conspiracy theories around Brian’s death have circulated for years: Brian Jones uncovers the fictitious witnesses and made-up quotes that underlie many of them.
• Throughout, with over 130 new interviews, Brian Jones busts countless myths, and sheds new light on many key moments of rock’n’roll history: the night Brian jammed with Bob Dylan, as New York was plunged into darkness; the time Brian ventured out to the mountains of Morocco, to make what was in effect the first World Music recording; and Brian’s friendship with so-called rivals like Hendrix, The Beatles and The Animals.

ALLEN STONE
allenstone.com
Perhaps falling under the affectionately (maybe?), silly (definitely) sub-genre known as PBR&B, Seattle-based musician Allen Stone has the soulful voice with a hippie touch.
Written on the homepage of Stone’s website, he says, “Basically my job is to throw a party for people every night when we’re on tour.” Even without seeing him live, listeners can easily agree just by listening to Stone’s music. Songs like “Sleep,” “Celebrate Tonight,” and “Say So,” from 2011 his self-released, self-titled album are soulful not just in the sense of musical genre, but truly full of spirit and energy that is tangible. That being said, Allen Stone should still be experienced live to be fully appreciated.
Soon to be on tour, Stone has a VIP bundle package available for superfans that includes: The Radius Preview EP with songs from his new album to be released later this year, a meet-and-greet with Stone while listening to the new album, and a Q&A session. For more info or to buy a VIP bundle, go to: allenstone.tix.musictoday.com.

Susstones Records recently announced that they've added Minneapolis' Stereo Confession to their roster.
The high school garage-punk band is described as:
Stereo Confession have been rapidly rising through the local indie rock ranks over the last months, scoring a series of high-profile support slots at local venues and securing crucial 89.3 and Radio K support for their recent self-released singles “Video Games” and “Hang Ten.” Their debut album No Coast, produced by Ed Ackerson at Flowers Studio in Minneapolis, contains both these tracks plus 8 more awesome surf/shred/doom/skree/garage/punk tracks in the band’s inimitable style. Although 4/5 of the band isn’t even 18 yet, they’re already writing tunes and rocking at a level far beyond what most bands ever dream of.
No Coast will be out Oct. 14 via Susstones/The Orchard. The record release show is on Oct. 12th at the 7th St. Entry, in Minneapolis.

Varèse Sarabande Records will release A Walk Among the Tombstones - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack digitally on September 16th and on CD September 23, 2014. The soundtrack features an original score composed by Carlos Rafael Rivera. The movie, directed by Scott Frank (The Lookout) will open in theaters on September 19th.
Here is the synopsis:
Based on Lawrence Block’s bestselling series of mystery novels, A Walk Among the Tombstones stars Liam Neeson as Matt Scudder, an ex-NYPD cop who now works as an unlicensed private investigator operating just outside the law. When Scudder reluctantly agrees to help a heroin trafficker (Dan Stevens) hunt down the men who kidnapped and then brutally murdered his wife, the PI learns that this is not the first time these men have committed this sort of twisted crime... nor will it be the last. Blurring the lines between right and wrong, Scudder races to track the deviants through the backstreets of New York City before they kill again.
