Tuesday Around Web World

Once around the neighborhood, and who's spouting what:

- Jonathan McNamara writes for Phoenix New Times about last night's Aerosmith/ZZ Top show in Phoenix (one I really should've tried to attend):
"Aerosmith and ZZ Top have achieved rock legend status in a way that no game player with a plastic guitar can ever hope to match regardless of how many times they've taken down a perfect score on Dragonforce's "Through the Fire and Flames." These bands are living legends who can not only still bring down a house after decades of rock stardom, but do it far better than most of the bands who have come after them."

- Who would've guessed the WOMAD festival is still up and running? Guess I've been sleeping. Guardian UK reviews the weekend UK show and writes... "Saturday saw a gig from Womad co-founder Peter Gabriel, playing his only European show this year. He mingled old hits with experimental new numbers, using an impressive string quartet for a slow, thoughtful reworking of Paul Simon's The Boy in the Bubble. The last number was a powerful treatment of Biko, accompanied by a mention of Gabriel's Witness charity, which uses technology to expose human rights violations."

- The trend of bands playing their classic LPs in its entirety continues. Billboard reports that The Pixies are going to play 'Doolittle" for US fans this fall. The Pixies U.S. "Doolittle" tour dates include:
Nov 4: Los Angeles (The Palladium)
Nov 8-9: Oakland, CA (Fox Theater)
Nov 12-13: Seattle (Paramount Theatre)
Nov 14: Eugene, OR (Hult Center)
Nov 16: Denver (The Fillmore)
Nov 20-21: Chicago (Aragon Ballroom)
Nov 23-25: New York (Hammerstein Ballroom)
Nov 27: Boston (Wang Center)
Nov 30: Washington, D.C. (Constitution Hall)

- NPR's got video of two new Weezer songs from recent Korean concerts (allegedly). Carrie Bownstein didn't like the songs. I don't mind 'em.
