THE WEEKEND STARTS HERE: 
... with THE BANGLES! There's no better way to start than with these live takes on "Hero Takes A Fall" and Kimberley Rew's "Goin' Down To Liverpool" for Dave in 1984. It was that sort of rawk (and the hotness of Susanna Hoffs) that got Prince to give them "Manic Monday," their first mainstream hit, from the A Different Light album, which included Jules Shear's "If She Knew What She Wants," Alex Chilton's "September Gurls," and -- inevitably -- Liam Sternberg's "Walk Like An Egyptian." Nevertheless, their fondness for the genres of the mid-60s was still evident in their take on Simon & Garfunkel's "Hazy Shade of Winter" for the Less Than Zero soundtrack, and the psych-garage-bubblegum of "In Your Room" on the Everything album, which yielded their final No.1 hit, "Eternal Flame." The draw from the 60s is a constant I saw them in a club, on a big stage and in a club again -- the last time was at a House of Blues, where they covered the We Five's "You Were On My Mind." However, I'll confess that I put off featuring the band for about a bit, until the Susanna Hoffs solo cover of Bad Company's "Feel Like Makin' Love" popped back up on the Tube after an absence. That woman knows her way around a tambourine.DICKIE BETTS, the singer, songwriter, and guitarist of the Allman Brothers Band whose piercing solos, beloved songs and hell-raising spirit defined the band and Southern rock in general, died Thursday morning at the age of 80. The cause was cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. RS also lists 15 essential Allmans songs. BUFFALO TOM shares "Autumn Letter." ISLANDS shares "Drown a Fish." BILL'S INDIE BASEMENT: Best of 2024 (So Far). PEARL JAM's Top 10 of the century. THE LEMONHEADS' Evan Dando apologizes to Jawbreaker over his ejection from a 2022 tour. HIT MAN, by Richard Linklater and Glen Powell, has a trailer online. TRAP: M. Night Shyamalan's new thriller has a trailer online. TIMOTHY CHALAMET: A first look at his Bob Dylan, singing. MICHAEL J. FOX, essayed by RYAN REYNOLDS. SETH MacFARLANE & MARTIN SCORSESE are teaming up to restore historically significant animated shorts from the 1920s to 1940s. KANYE WEST is the named suspect in a battery report. REBECCA FERGUSON, clarifying the reasons behind her exit from the Mission: Impossible franchise. MONTY PYTHON: Terry Jones once threw a typewriter at John Cleese, according to Michael Palin, who also dismissed the idea of another reunion. DOGGOS: We don't deserve them. A MAMA FERRET shows off her newborn. A LEOPARD tags a hyena.
