Jimi Hendrix's Sister Announces "Another Decade of Music" From His Archives
Since Jimi Hendrix died in 1970, he's put out dozens of albums of material—unreleased tracks, live cuts, bootlegs and compilations. And just like fellow dead guy 2pac, every time it seems like the well of new music has run dry, someone uncovers a veritable metric shit ton of tunes. Plus, he's been making appearances, of sorts, in recent years. Busy guy, that Hendrix, even in death.This time, though, the source is about as official as it gets: Hendrix's sister Janie. And she says she's got a lot to share.... read more

When Michael Jackson died on June 25, it took about five minutes before some looney Internet junkie started blogging about how he's really not dead, he's just hiding. That's right, he faked his own death "to escape the crushing pressures of life in a fishbowl." (Thanks for the quote, Derek Klontz, "herbalist, author and journalist of international reach.")But, of course, as anyone (who's completely certifiably insane and has seen Death Becomes Her too many times) can tell you, MJ wasn't the first celebrity to grow tired of all that fame and money and attention and decide to check out with a forged... read more

Found in: Blogs, List of the Day50 Best Bob Dylan Covers of All Time
As we began to compile this list of the 50 Best Bob Dylan Covers of All Time—asking for input from Paste readers, writers and editors—someone suggested that it might be easier to compile a list of artists who haven't covered Dylan. I've listened to literally hundreds of Dylan covers over the course of the past week, trying to weigh choices like, "Who's version of 'Tomorrow Is a Long Time' is better, Nick Drake or Nickel Creek?" But I don't mean to make it sound like grueling work. My biggest take-away from this exercise is that going to Dylan for source... read more

After this year, NASA will officially be retiring the space shuttle. So what's next for America's space program? This week, the National Mall in Washington has been hosting an exhibit featuring a mock up of the Orion capsule, which will be NASA's new space vehicle of choice come 2015. Along with the ARES rocket array (pictured above), the Orion capsule is part of NASA's new Constellation Program, an undertaking as ambitious as the 1960s' Apollo Program that first sent a man to the moon. Eventually, NASA plans for the program to take astronauts back to the moon, and perhaps even to Mars.On... read more

Found in: Music, NewsCurrent Events: "Joe the Plumber" Megamix
Last Wednesday night, a blue-collar hero went down in history. Toledo, Ohio’s own Joe Wurzelbacher—aka “Joe the Plumber”—was invoked no less than 26 times, making him more central to the third presidential debate between John McCain and Barack Obama than anything else, including taxes, education, the war, terrorism, the environment and energy independence.Seeing as how a playlist about plumbers would’ve been pretty short, today’s Current Events megamix will focus simply on great songs about guys named Joe. Here’s to you, plumber man!... read more
