Plan B

If you miss the sound of Huey Lewis and The News - and who doesn't, really? - the band will reissue on CD their last two albums before last year's Weather. 2001's Plan B and 2010's Soulsville were, before Weather, the entirety of the band's 21st century studio output after a blockbuster run through most of the '80s and a measure of success in the early '90s. Plan B marked the group's first album of original studio material in a decade - their last full album, 1994's Four Chords and Seven

On July 3, 1985, mass audiences got to take a trip Back To The Future thanks to the year's top-grossing film. For its 35th anniversary, the film and music fans at Mondo are bringing the film's classic soundtrack back to vinyl with a cool twist: an unused piece of front cover artwork courtesy of the series' beloved poster artist. Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale's time-travel fantasy found Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox), an average California teen in 1985, accidentally transported 30 years into the

Fore gatefold

A sincere thanks to our readers and friends who joined in to last Friday's live tweet of Prince and The Revolution's Around The World In a Day. It was a nice way to revisit a classic album, a fine memorial to one of our favorite artists, and a nice little show of community in some unusual times. So it's only natural that we'd do it again - and this time, we're celebrating the 20th anniversary of the striking slasher film American Psycho by giving a listen to one of the albums it gave a most
