Playboy.com Reveals Exclusive New Music Series
July 19, 2009 by Mark Boudreau · Leave a Comment
Playboy.com is adding a monthly video series featuring performances from some major musical talent.
Hoobastank, 3 Doors Down, and Dinosaur Jr. are first in the line-up of rock and pop musicians joining Uncovered presented by Southern Comfort, the new monthly series where artists perform exclusive covers around what they are calling “the nation’s most legendary venues.”
Dinosaur Jr. is first, with his cover of The Cure’s “Just Like Heaven.” Being added to the website soon is 3 Doors Down performing Jon Bon Jovi’s “Dead or Alive” and Nina Persson of the Cardigan’s new outfit A Camp performing “Psycho” by Leon Payne.
JET, The Dears, Black Lips, and more will be added in later months. New episodes of Uncovered by Southern Comfort will premiere on the second Monday of each month. A list with the complete line-up will be available on Playboy.com beginning August 1st.
As Playboy continues to morph their online presence to more of a lifestyle destination for men, expect more of things like this in the future, which is fine with me because that whole “Girls Next Door” thing holds zero interest for me. Now when I tell people I go to Playboy.Com I can tell them “It’s for the music…”

A Letter From the Editor
June 18, 2009 by Mark Boudreau · Leave a Comment
If you are a regular visitor of the Rock and Roll Report you may have been wondering about the dearth of material this week but fear not! Because of you we had to move! That’s right. Because so many of you great music fans are hungry for some amazing rock and roll, you know the kind that tends to be ignored by the commercial rock media, we were forced to move to a new hosting service that could better accommodate us. Amazingly enough The Rock and Roll Report is growing each and every month, so much so that we outgrew our old home and moved over to the amazing folks at Media Temple.
The move gave the gang here at the Report a chance to rest but now that things are back to normal we are revving up our rock and roll engines and resuming our normal publication schedule. By Monday you will have your regular daily fix of what we think is some great music that is just too damn good to be ignored.
We hope you enjoy it!

The Rock and Roll Report is back online!
June 2, 2009 by Mark Boudreau · Leave a Comment
Sorry about being offline for the last few days but the nice thing is that the volume of traffic to the site crashed our server so at least people are still interested in great rock and roll!
We are just in the middle of mopping up the mess so things might not be as regular this week as normal but everything will be back to normal by next week. In the meantime browse through the archives and check out all the great stuff we have written about in the past or click on the “Free MP3s” category and download some great rock and roll!
Again we apologize for the disruption in service. We now return you to our regularly scheduled rock and roll programming.
