Mike Campbell Plays 14 Year Old Fan’s Home Made Guitar On Stage

This is a terrific story about the guitarist from my favorite band, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, and a remarkable young fan: One night in front of the computer, Griffin was watching footage of a 1985 concert. “And Mike Campbell, the lead guitar player from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, came out playing this really [...]

A 90 Minute New Pornographers Video With Soundboard Audio?

Yes please! Watch the full concert, filmed October 25, 2007 at Webster Hall, on Babel Music. (And buy their terrific new album Together if you haven’t yet!) The rest of the concert is much better than the song they’re offering as a representative clip (which is one of my least favorite in their otherwise illustrious [...]

Facebook + David Fincher + Nine Inch Nails = ?

Trent Reznor has written the score for David Fincher’s The Social Network, which is all about Facebook. While Fincher has not made a film worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as Fight Club since he made, um, Fight Club, since he actually made Fight Club, I still get excited whenever he has a [...]

Daily Hilarity: Jeff Tweedy Of Wilco Does Beyoncé’s Single Ladies

This is classic: Twenty Four Bit provides context: A Jeff Tweedy solo show is something to behold, and the Wilco frontman’s benefit gig at Chicago’s Vic Theatre in March was—by all accounts—a prime example. Tweedy performed a host of pre-submitted audience requests, including “Shakin’ Sugar,” a Wilco rarity that even he had to Google, Radiohead’s [...]

New Recording From Laura Marling & Sneh Ko Marg

I admit I sort of hate the Sneh Ko Morg contributions to the song, but Laura is truly fantastic as always and this is an exciting harbinger of an EP of new recordings from Laura, Mumford and Sons, and Dharohar Project, coming July 5 to I-tunes: If you’re new to Laura, you might want to [...]

"Come Closer Together": The Beatles Mashed With Nine Inch Nails

DJ Zebra’s incredible mash up of two classic songs from a few years back is more than a gimmick, it’s a legitimate work of art in its own right: By the way, Trent Reznor just released his first album not as Nine Inch Nails, How to Destroy Angels. His new group is also called How [...]

The Band Tool And The Fibonacci Sequence

Apparently math explains the Tool song, “Lateralus”: And apparently even the powers of math cannot make me like a Tool song.  I couldn’t even finish it. Thanks to Victoria for the link. Your Thoughts?

272. Frightened Rabbit

For whatever reason I think of these guys as sort of the Scottish Counting Crows with a little more aggressive emotional frankness. Songs don’t come much more brutally blunt than this one: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJ3r2BC7ctA&hl=en_US&fs=1&] Your Thoughts?
