Photo by Ted Maider Joanna Newsom made a rare festival appearance at this past weekend's Treasure Island Music Festival in San Francisco, CA. Under a rich blue sky and whilst sporting a quaint tablecloth dress, Newsom debuted a new piano-centric track allegedly titled, "Look and Despair" (via Pitchfork ). Throughout the five minute ballad, she speaks of "mothers and daughters" and how "above them the parades mark the passing of age." It's rich, dense stuff, but what else would you expect from the author behind [...]
After a wee bit of a break from posting cover versions, I have decided to revive my weekly We've Got It Covered posts. Seeing as it's been a while since I posted anything I have decided to go with not one, but two covers from Admiral Fallow . The five piece are currently winging their way around the good old US of A at the moment, then they will culminate a pretty amazing year for the band with a headline show at the Glasgow Barrowlands on Saturday the 8th of December. [...]
There's a chaotic warmth in Woodpecker Wooliam's off-putting single "Gull." An immediate listen draws an easy contrast to Joanna Newsom , but there's a vibrant life to this. The single will be officially released November 26, via new label Robot Elephant . Check it out for yourself below.
Check out my photos of Wilco at the Hollywood Bowl over at Stereogum .
After playing the Wiltern earlier this year, Wilco triumphantly closed out their tour of the country with a magical evening at the Hollywood Bowl. Some of the highlights included the crowd singing along to "Jesus, Etc.", the cascades of feedback on end "Art Of Almost," and a soaring rendition of "Ashes Of American Flags." Joanna Newsom served as the perfect opener. Check out the photos above and the Wilco setlist below which included five of their top ten songs . Read More...

How time flies! It was about 18 months ago now that we collected an epic selection of our favorite opening lines in music , and we've been meaning to get around to closing lines ever since. There are plenty of candidates for such honors as far as films and books go, but surprisingly few for music — it's a more difficult exercise than it looks, perhaps because heaps of songs end with multiple renditions of the chorus rather than a punchy parting shot. Still, we've put together a bumper selection: 50 of the best. We'd also love to hear [...]
Animal Collective and Flying Lotus' co-headlining show isn't the only exceptional night of music on the Hollywood Bowl's schedule this month. It's also not the only one we have tickets for.

Okay, so there’s two ways to enter: through our free mobile app or by simply filling out the form below. For those that haven’t nabbed the free app yet (note: F-R-E-E), just head over [...]
This is part two in a new series that I invented when I found this second tattoo after posting a related one yesterday . The owner of this colorful red and blue and bird-filled tattoo writes : "This is my Dave Longstreth/Joanna Newsom tribute tattoo. I admire Joanna for her lyrics, and Dave for his music; they are my two biggest musical influences. The red and blue background is from the album, "Bitte Orca" by Dave's band, Dirty Projectors . The red and the blue intermingling represents how lyrics and music [...]
Speaking of Andy Samberg , well actually thatisn't his tattoo, but now the pressure is on for him to outdo this fan whose body art "is based on the Joanna Newsom Ys album and was done by the wonderful Rachel Baldwin at Modern Body Art Birmingham." More pictures of the tat, and a recent video entitled "7 Minutes in Heaven with Joanna Newsom" by Saturday Night Live writer Mike O'Brien, along with a couple of dates, below...

As you might have noticed if you've tried to download any live shows here in the past few days, Demonoid is down. No one really knows how long it will be down, but in the meantime I'm still trying to figure out the best way to link to those shows. Bayfiles is great in that [...]
