30 August 2010"Weird Al" Yankovic - McAnnich Arts Center (Glen Ellyn, IL) - Sunday, August 29, 2010
Yankovic wisely made a point of keeping things current with a fresh batch of funny material. “Skipper Dan” described a failed thespian, doomed to a soul-destroying life of corny jokes as a riverboat guide on Disneyland’s Jungle Cruise attraction. Recent parody “You’re Pitiful” gave a more memorable upgrade to James Blunt’s maudlin “You’re Beautiful.”
29 August 2010Iggy and the Stooges - House of Blues (Atlantic City) - Friday, August 27, 2010
With no opener and wasting not a second, they opened with “Raw Power”, which led right into “Search and Destroy”.
29 August 2010This Will Destroy You – Bowery Ballroom (New York City) – Thursday, August 26, 2010
It goes without saying that This Will Destroy You know exactly how to command attention.
27 August 2010Lou Barlow & The Missingmen with Wye Oak and Young Man – 400 Bar (Minneapolis, MN) – Wednesday, August 25, 2010
Lou was Lou, Wye Oak killed, and Young Man are on their way.

Visqueen live in the studio (and interviewed) and "Best of the New Breed, Vol. 1" now on Rabid In The Kennel!
21 August 2010“Rabid In The Kennel” appeared on Bastille Day with a very special guest: the one and only Visqueen, playing a special, drummer-less session for us in support of their awesome recent LP , A Message to Garcia, and then the members, including dashing, powerful-throated singer Rachel Flotard, sat for a long 35-minute chat, including lots of funny sexual innuendo.
More recently, we tried a special new wrinkle on our established format, by presenting all music and no chat with seven less established, but equally deserving new bands, called “Best of the New Breed, Vol 1.” This began airing just last week!
Welcome to the new Bigtakeover.com!
11 July 2010On behalf of all of us here at bigtakeover.com and Big Takeover Magazine, I bid you welcome to our newly redesigned site! Looks cool, doesn’t it? Our print magazine is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, going back to a good 15 years or so before there was any electronic media. So the timing is perfect. Our endeavor has come a long, long way from the days of typing, Xeroxing, reducing, stapling, folding, mailing, shipping, and selling at gigs, and we are celebrating this long three decades of service and commentary in three distinct ways this year.
