• Top 10 Country Albums of 2008

  Photo by Michael Alan GoldbergTwo young blondes with toothy smiles and hard-core work ethics, Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood, helped country expand its fan base in these years of shrinking music sales. Meanwhile, Kenny Chesney, Rascal Flatts, Alan Jackson, Toby Keith, Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley and George Strait kept filling arenas and at least maintaining their popularity on the road, if not with record sales. But as has often been the case, the best country music has little to do with what's

• Hitsville: The Year in Music, by the Numbers

  You don't need a half-wit music critic to tell you it's been a remarkable year for America, one historians will be discussing and researching for centuries to come. War, financial collapse, politics, technology: All have been dinner-table topics for many Americans. Racial barriers in 2008 were demolished by a Midwestern black man, and gender barriers were hurdled by an Arkansan and an Alaskan.Democracy has a few awesome new dance moves rolling into the Obama presidency, and it'll be a feast f

• Live Nation Pulls Back Service Charges, Offers DC9 Readers A Giveaway

  They're doing it again. Live Nation is offering $24.99 (and, in a couple cases, $19.99) lawn tickets for select Starplex (I still refuse to call it Superpages.com Center) shows today only during this week's installment of No Service Charge Wednesday.

• Live Nation Keeps The "No Service Fee Wednesday" Train Going With Deals Today On 4-Packs. Also, A Giveaway!

  Just as it did last Wednesday and the Wednesday before that, national booking/concert promotions conglomerate Live Nation is back today with another "No Servive Fee Wednesday" promotion, this time removing all service fee charges on its 4-Pack ticket bundles, which allow ticket-buyers to save 17 percent on their ticket total when they buy four at a time, and essentially bringing that 17 percent discount up to 40 percent until the calendar turns to Thursday tonight at 12:01 a.m. The discount, of

  As part of Live Nation's continuing No Service Fee Wednesday (now going by the initials NSFW, which caused me to open the press release quite a bit quicker than I might have otherwise, I'll have to admit), Live Nation is once again offering tickets for select shows at an "all-in" ticket price of $29.99 each when purchased at livenation.com before midnight tonight. This week, they're throwing parking plus a free hot dog and soda into the deal. Follow the jump for the full list of concerts offerin

  The weekend's finally here, boo-yah, and it's a deceptively crowded one music-wise, actually.

Well, now that I think of it, pretty much every show we've already discusses in happening tonight: LehtMoJoe's CD release show at the Granada with Mount Righteous and Anonymous????; De La Soul at the House of Blues; Kim Lenz at the Double Wide; William Fitzsi

  De La Soul at House of Blues on Friday, July 31Rather than worry about being pretentious hip hop superstars, De La Soul stayed true to what real hip-hop looks and sounds like on Friday night. With 20 years of contribution to the scene, De La Soul lives up to their standard as "quintessential hip hop." If you missed the show and like what you hear, they have a new album out with Nike: Are You In?
