Bandcamp Bonanza: Top Picks For Indie Music Makers' Sixth Monthly Event

Nobody Else: Cherry Red Revisits Nick Kamen Discography on "The Complete Collection"
"Wow, he's got a great face!" That was Madonna's first reaction to then-model, future pop star Nick Kamen. She recollected, "I never knew he could sing. And the next thing I know, Seymour Stein calls me up and says, 'would you be interested in writing a song for his album?' So he sent me a tape and the Levi's commercial and a demo video that he had done, and I said, 'Wow, this guy's got everything.'" Now, fans of Kamen can have everything, too, as Cherry Red has just released The Complete

Back to Dirty Blvd.: Lou Reed's "New York" Gets Deluxe Box Set Treatment in September
Lou Reed went back to basics for his fifteenth solo studio album and Sire Records debut, 1989's New York. In contrast to the prevailing high-gloss, sleek, and electronic sound of the day, Reed opted for a primal sound with two guitars, bass, and drums that recalled his groundbreaking work two decades earlier with The Velvet Underground. (In fact, the VU's Moe Tucker even played percussion on a couple of tracks.) On September 25, Rhino will revisit the dark, visceral LP in a sprawling
