Fans of drummer Dave Grohl also ought to be aware of the debut self-titled album of Them Crooked Vultures, a supergroup trio also featuring Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones and Queens Of The Stone Age frontman Josh Homme.

In short, Hilburn\u2019s book is a collection of stories about assorted run-ins with legends like John Lennon, Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, and Bruce Springsteen. In spite of the star power featured, Hilburn is at all times fair to the subjects at hand. As an added bonus, the book\u2019s introduction was penned by U2 leader Bono, who expresses his admiration for the author in such.\u00a0 <b>(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.roberthilburnonline.com\/\">roberthilburnonline.com<\/a>)\u00a0 <o:p><\/o:p><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b>TOOL: MOG All Access <\/b>\u2013 In an earlier column, I hailed Spotify, the European platform that enables users to listen to almost any song at any time at no cost. While Spotify is not yet ready for U.S. consumption, as of December 2nd, MOG All Access will be. Priced at $5 per month, subscribers will be able to stream any and all available audio as much as they please. All the while, the owners of the recordings and copyrights \u2013- e.g. record labels, performers, songwriters \u2013- receive compensation for such, which frees MOG users from any possible guilt. <b>(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mog.com\/\">mog.com<\/a>) <o:p><\/o:p><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b>ARTICLE: Adam Pash \u201cGet A Great Deal On Advice In The Open Thread <\/b>\u2013 For those not seeking rock music in their holiday season, Lifehacker is glad to provide free advice to its subscribers.
