Artist: Elvis Costello

A poignant and disquieting song of solace and serendipity set to an infectiously melodic and rollicking carnival tune.

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News Scott Legato, Getty Images Comparing the crowd between the first and second days of Osheaga proves a depressing study into the cultural currency of hip-hop versus rock. While Eminem brought a record-shattering 38,000 people to their knees with a swaggering performance on Friday night (July 30), Saturday headliner Elvis Costello and the Imposters managed to sway only 2,000 to stick around till the end of their set [...]

This Years Model - U.K. Edition (1978 Radar Records) I found a nice U.K. copy of Elvis Costello and the Attractions' This Years Model on Radar Records on my birthday this year. With its "misprinted" title and color reference bars (which were part of Barney Bubbles' original conception for the cover), I always thought these looked way cooler than the U.S. Columbia edition. I'm told the U.K. version sounds better as well. The run [...]

Enquanto alguns festivais acumulam guitarras, mosh-pits e empurra-empurra, o Newport Folk Festival conta com um enorme gramado repleto de cadeiras e um palco quase inteiramente tomado por banjos, mandolins, acordeões e violões. O lendário festival estadounidense, que já recebeu apresentações icônicas de diversos grandes nomes da música ( Bob Dylan , por exemplo) está, em sua edição 2011, ao alcance mundial de um clique, graças à NPR. A rádio transmite em seu site oficial , em vídeo e ao vivo, os principais shows do festival à beira-mar. No primeiro dia de transmissões, esse sábado, você pode conferir [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Movies Keystone, Getty Images There's been Live Aid, Live 8, Concert for New York and dozens of other benefit gigs over the years, but this weekend celebrates the 40th anniversary of one of the biggest and earliest charity gigs.

Gathering of the Vibes at Seaside Park, Bridgeport, CT - July 21-24 Words: Carla Danca Photos: Jeremy Gordon Outside of a few questions that aren't suitable for print, "So how many have you been to?" is probably the most asked question around Gathering of the Vibes . Sixteen years after its humble beginnings as Deadhead Heaven - A Gathering of the Tribe on the campus of SUNY Purchase, Vibes has become one of the Northeast's largest annual festivals and one of the oldest as well. In a [...]

In an effort to have the best summer ever, pretty much all of us from The Wild Honey Pie will be piling into a car and going to one of the world's most important and notoriously awesome festivals - Newport Folk Festival . Given that the event is curated so flawlessly, the choices we will be forced to make during that time will be epically tough. To make your life (and ours) a bit easier, we've gone through the lineup and highlighted our favorites. The What Cheer? Brigade [...]

This week's NYC -area concert calendar is bumpin'! The Allmans Brothers are back at the Beacon, Elvis Costello 's at the Count Basie Theatre, They Might Be Giants play the Williamsburg Waterfront, we've got two shows by reunited 90s alt-rock titans (Bush and STP), and this oddball lineup of Weezer , The Flaming Lips and Yeasayer are all at Jones Beach. But, as usual, it's the smaller club shows - and, in this case, the boat cruises - that interest me most. For something a bit more rock-based [...]

Tweet Leatherbag has been rocking the Buddy Holly vibe since 2005, in their own continuation of the "New Sincerity" movement from the 902s indie scene in Austin, Texas. It involved artists in different media expressing themselves in an ironically carefree way, with absolute "sincerity". To get a quick idea of Leatherbag's take on it, think Ramones -style raucous jams: essentially pointless subject matter and rollicking fun music. How does "old" rock n' roll still sound cool in the year 2011? [...]

We keep our eyes peeled for new tour dates announcements each week and compile them on Tuesdays for this handy column… On September 13, quirky funk-rock act Primus will release Green Naugahyde , their first album of new material since 1999 via ATO Records and Prawn Songs.

This fall the band will head out for a month-long tour [...]

I wouldn't be caught dead at Innsbrook After Hours, but it's gonna be real tough knowing that Elvis Costello is going to be playing his hits on Wednesday, July 20 with The Imposters . That may be a good enough reason to go there. Elvis Costello - Veronica Elvis Costello - Shipbuilding Elvis Costello - Alison
