The full list of nominations is as below. The 58th Awards ceremony takes place [...]
Who: Bat for Lashes in the Mojave Tent In 3 or Fewer Words: Unlike the rest. Memorable Because: Bat For Lashes is a rare bird. In fact, Natasha Khan walked onto stage in a rainbow-colored outfit (which included a cape that gave her "wings") with energy so electric she could have burst into flames like a phoenix. Yes, it was fitting of Khan to wear an eccentric outfit for her set. But it wasn't long before she exclaimed "Oh my God. It's so hot," and seductively turned her back to the audience to [...]
Savages perform first show in Seattle on Tuesday at Neptune / photo by Richard Dumas We start the week with shows from Johnny Marr at Neumos and The Telescopes, LSD & The Search for God, Flavor Crystals, and Black Nite Crash at Comet Tavern. On Tuesday, another much anticipated UK band making their Seattle debut with Savages at Neumos. A little too noisy for you? Bat for Lashes are also at Showbox at the Market. On Wednesday, we keep it cool with The Gaslight Anthem and [...]
As ticketholders shuffled onto the grounds for Day 2, it was apparent that the newfound and hard-earned wisdom following Friday’s rookie mistakes drove a slew of essential tweaks and adjustments. Some blessed out patrons sporting cringe-inducing red welts lathered on the SPF 50 (it’s the desert folks, get it together - strike one), while others opted to schlep canvas bags this time around after shivering for five hours when the sun vanished on Friday (yeah, strike two). On Saturday, Coachella became America's unofficial Glastonbury by doubling in size and hosting three headlining caliber artists to simultaneously [...]
photos by Dana (distortion) Yavin Sigur Ros / Bat For Lashes / Spiritualized "It was a mixed bag for veteran acts on Saturday. On one hand, The Evens , featuring ex-Minor Threat and Fugazi man Ian MacKaye, drew a respectable (and respectful) Gobi Tent crowd early in the day; the Descendents ' influential melodic-punk found a fairly large following at the Outdoor Theatre under the stars; and New Order brought [...]
Before we get into Saturday, let's not bury the day's big lede: R. Kelly joined Phoenix on stage to perform his biggest crossover that isn't from the Space Jam soundtrack, "Ignition (Remix)." Not quite the Daft Punk cameo folks rumored, definitely worthy of its own post. Which is here . Earlier in Day 1, in the space I will affectionately call EDM Town - where the electronic music tent is located - it was hard not to feel like we had been transported to another festival. Everything was a little more neon, everyone [...]

We know it is so hard to pick and choose who you are going to see when there are so many great artists playing at Coachella--alas as they are often playing at the same time! Our recommendation for Saturday is to chill out by the pool during the day to beat the desert heat, but be sure make it to the festival by 4 prepared for some serious dancing and fist pumping the rest of the night! Kill The Noise , Sahara Tent 4:20 - 5:20 PM ♫ "Dying (Ft. Ultraviolet Sound & [...]
There's no denying the harp slowly but surely becoming something of an instrument du jour. De l'année even, with Serafina Steer's The Moths Are Real for one right up there among the incontestable LPs of this year thus far. And here tinkering with a synthetic take on those same strings is Mancunian songstress Claire Brentnall – aka Shield Patterns – who masterfully weaves trad folk inflexions with an oneiric ambient that's at once distinctly wintry. Comparisons with Natasha Khan emulating the albeit inimitable warble of a certain Kate Bush will doubtless abound, though [...]
I launched Seen Your Video just over a year ago and to commemorate our anniversary, I've made a long-overdue list of the Best Music Videos of 2000s . While researching the 2K decade in music videos, I found it largely to be a story of two halves. The first half was dominated by groundbreaking visionaries like Michel Gondry , Spike Jonze , Mark Romanek and Floria Sigismondi , many of whom, after leaving their mark on music videos have gone on to successful careers in feature films. The other defining characteristic of the early [...]

Crystal Castles isn't the only opener Depeche Mode nabbed for their forthcoming U.S tour . As Brooklyn Vegan reports , Bat for Lashes is also tagging along. The Natasha Khan-led outfit will team up with Dave Gahan & Co. starting in August for a handful of dates that take them to the Midwest, the Northeast, and down South.

Tickets for [...]
Mark Seliger Apologies for going for the low-hanging fruit with this one, but I don't have the time or energy to squeeze out something more interesting. So you get this. And pro tip: providing a current photo with credit really goes a long way towards leading off a post. Anyways, The Rolling Stones - perhaps you've heard of them - finally announced their long-rumoured, basically inevitable 50th anniversary North American tour yesterday, and while it's only nine dates long, at least for now, Toronto makes the cut - the Stones will be [...]
