Devastating week for rock’n’roll… This time we have four obituaries to cover. Scott Miller was one of the most creative college rock musicians from the 80s. He was the leader of Game Theory, which had a series of very interesting albums back in the day and that was often played on college radio stations across the US. Then we have Storm Thorgerson, the leading artist in the Hipgnosis art collective who designed many of the iconic album covers throughout the 70s. Lead singer of the Australian band Divinyls, Chrissy Amphlett also died a few days ago at the age of 53. And the most recent news is that Richie Havens, who had a memorable live appearance at the original Woodstock, also passed away. Beside tributes to these artists, we also feature the new single for Turf War, new albums for Carla Olson and Todd Rundgren and a new band Bazooka from Greece.

Unfortunately, today we say goodbye to two great rock musicians who died recently. First of all, Tim Mooney who was in American Music Club passed away on June 15th. Then, most recently, Deep Purple keyboardist Jon Lord also passed away a month later, on July 16th. We remember them both today. Lil’ Band O’ Gold are also back with a new record after 12 years, this time dedicated to the good old Fats Domino. Redd Kross are back rocking their heads off with the new record called Researching The Blues. Luther Dickinson is quite busy recently. First he prepared a collection of live recordings that he and his brother recorded with his father Jim Dickinson shortly before his death. Also, there’s a new band for Luther himself, a supergroup The Wandering that consists of Shannon McNally, Amy LaVere, Valerie June and Sharde Thomas. Kevn Kinney is also busy. After his great solo record earlier this year, he also reformed his old band Drivin n’ Cryin’. Kelly Hogan, who we know from Jody Grind and as a backup singer for  is also back.
