Loch Lomond is a Portland based collective whose latest release Little Me Will Start A Storm had us buzzing last month. This week, it's a pitch perfect cover of Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain." TheChain.mp3 Fleetwood Mac - The Chain (Loch Lomond Cover) Download read more
Most people love a good Vampire Weekend track. But everyone loves a Vampire Weekend cover. I mean everyone. I like to see happy readers so here comes a quirky cover of the Fleetwood Mac hit, Everywhere. This is a live set they performed in Australia on radio station Triple J . Favorite Line: You know that I'm proud, and I can't get the words out. Vampire Weekend - Everywhere

Loch Lomond just released Little Me Will Start a Storm yesterday via Tender Loving Empire . The Portland act has garnered plenty of buzz since they toured with The Decemberists and we've been fairly Loch Lomond-less on this here blog. While I've yet to give the album a full detailed analysis, this cover of "The Chain" was just dropped into my mail bin. I gave it a wicked sneer as soon as I read it....until I listened to it. This is an honest and sincere [...]

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars In all likelihood, you've probably heard very little about Kenny Anderson up until this point in time; I was definitely in the same boat. Â However, the release of Thrawn , the first King Creosote album to make its way overseas should hopefully change that, at least if you're listening closely to the album. Â It's a Scottish influenced folk affair from a man who doesn't seem to be seeking out the fame and fortune of other bands, instead he's [...]

Fleetwood Mac Lomond Tomorrow, Portland's chamber pop ensemble Loch Lomond release their second full length, Little Me Will Start a Storm on Tender Loving Empire. It's a truly picturesque album, filled with the band's distinctly lush folk melodies and singer Ritchie Young's powerful vocals soaring through a demure watercolor of melody. With their curious collection of noisemakers, from vibraphones and mandolins to the theremin, the group craft a moody and intimately wistful array of music. But, that's tomorrow. Today, Loch Lomond are showing off another side. [...]
Full-throated harmonies propel ‘The Chain’ to a grand conclusion.

We here at Frontier Psychiatrist are no fans of the Grammys. But, the announcement that tonight Cee-Lo Green, the mastermind behind 20102s "Fuck You," will be performing along with the Muppets (and Gwenyth Paltrow, presumably in the role of Janice ), has us somewhat giddy for tonight's awards. As such, we celebrate the 53rd Annual Academy Awards for Outstanding Achievement in the Music Industry by bringing you five classics from Grammy-winning artists...performed by contemporary FP favorites. Enjoy the show.

We've amassed a ton of covers performed live by seminal alternative band The Smashing Pumpkins.

This is a story that could be told in one of two ways. The first way is to talk about the song professionally and the back story behind the cover version, to spare the more emotional part and keep it pro. The second way, however, to tackle this is more interesting and I think that the first part can wait, that I can insert all necessary details into the story of how Fleetwood Mac 's "Silver Springs" means so much to me. I was never the kind of girl to fall in love. [...]

Continuing our series of duets albums, ending next weekend: today we spin one of the most famous rock duet albums, Buckingham Nicks , the 1973 effort with superstars-to-be Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. Buckingham and Nicks were bandmates in the band Fritz, which formed in 1968 and got to be pretty popular around the San Francisco Bay Area. By the time the band broke up in 1972 Buckingham and Nicks were romantically involved, and they moved to Los Angeles to make it big in the music bidness. Suits from Polydor heard the duo performing and [...]

As you may have deduced by my prolonged absence, that I've been pretty slammed lately. Been on a roll project-wise and can't stop. But I won't leave you hanging oh dear readers. So I'm going to forgo my long winded stories of about the time one of the anorexic Fleetwood daughters called me a 'Non-Entity' to my face or about my friend Polka's (his nickname) amazingly bad taste impersonation of the Kids Of Widney High singing Don't Stop (Thinking About Tomorrow) , in lieu of getting right down to today's post (I'll regale [...]
Although the British Guitarist Has Retreated from Music, His Talent Can Be Found in Past Recordings
At last year's SXSW music fest, John McCauley of Deer Tick, Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes and Matt Vasquez of Delta Spirit debuted their new roots-rock supergroup, which at the time was dubbed MG&V after their collective last names. After a busy 2010 for the members' full time bands, and a name change to Middle Brother , the act has announced that not only will their long awaited self-titled debut finally come out on March 1, but that they will hit the road for a 13-date March tour that will also include select dates where both [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News Classic rock icons Rod Stewart and Stevie Nicks used a joint appearance on 'The Ellen Degeneres Show' on Thursday to confirm rumors that they are, indeed, heading out on tour together. Entitled the 'Heart and Soul Tour,' the trek will kick off in Fort Lauderdale on March 20 and snake around the country -- including stops at New York's Madison Square Garden and Boston's TD Garden -- before wrapping up at the [...]

Blade Runner was an apt way to start my morning. Jesus that is a fucked up movie, people who can't tell if even their most recent memories are real or just programing. A man who meets his creator, demanding his life be extended, and when he is told it's impossible, he goes crazy and pushes the guys eyes back into his brain! All covered in a precious thin layer of 80's synth GOLD! Vangelis - Zhoras Retirement .mp3 ♥♥♥ [...]

It only takes one listen of "Landslide" when you're just a pup bouncing on your daddy's knee, and you're forever after a loving lackey to anything and everything that flows out of the God-given larynx of Stevie Nix. Apparently, I'm not the only one still listening to Fleetwood Mac some twenty years after said childhood epiphany. Recently trolling Pitchfork interviews for life advice from relevant indie musicians, I happened upon a Q and A with Cut Copy 's founder Dan Whitford. Asked what artists may have influenced the sound of their forthcoming record Zonoscope , [...]
