Personally, I'm not a huge Metallica fan. I do enjoy some of their songs, and I appreciate what they've given to the world of metal, but the harshness is something I need to be in the right mood for. That being said, when someone covers a Metallica tune, especially someone as seemingly opposite of them as Lissie happens to be, I pay attention. Boy howdy, she owns this. If you've never heard the
Lissie does Chrissie (Hynde, that is) in this "2000 Miles" makeover, a fine concert performance video and unreleased encore from Lissie's new 13-song DVD/CD Live at Shepherds Bush Empir e filmed just before Christmas last year in London. We've said it before, we'll say it again: this is one of the most impressive new artists of the past five years, a mix of glam-free rough and tumble indie rock songwriting, seriously good guitar chops and an innately soulful earthiness. Few artists, male or female, can conjure this combination of ferocious in-the-moment intensity with the loose, natural [...]
Welcome to Tuesday, not exactly sure what Mary Todd Lincoln is doing there but I am going to allow it. I have recently lost my sight and I have not yet learned brail or how to make my computer read stuff to me, so please someone send me a Youtube video of what, if anything on this list is good or not. I think I remember reading, before the accident, that Cass McCombs had a new album coming out. I hope so, I really like him. 13ghosts: Garland of Bottle Flies [...]

It's been a good while since our initial media blitz during Lissie's rapid rise to prominence behind her debut EP and good, but uneven debut full length Catching a Tiger. We're glad to bring her back to the Stark pages today to support her new covers EP - Covered Up with Flowers . While we haven't taken it for a full spin yet, we've heard at least 3 of these tunes during her numerous live shows and they were a pleasure to watch and listen to. Fat Possum released [...]
Listen to Lissie's new covers of Joe South's 'Games People Play' and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' 'The Ship Song.'
Lissi Dancefloor Disaster låter i dag meddela att man släppt en ny EP med titeln As We Plz EP . Och den har ett kattomslag(!!!). Så här har de själva att säga om den: Vår nya EP "As We Plz EP" handlar om känslan av hopplöshet. Och om olika sätt att förhålla sig till den, olika sätt att hitta mening. Och om de starka känslorna vi känner som definierar vilka vi är, både som individer och som Lissi Dancefloor Disaster. Vår nya EP handlar om att inte acceptera. Och [...]

Lissie's Catching a Tiger was an impressive debut LP, but it was her inspired performances of deconstructed, alt-country versions of "Pursuit of Happiness," "Bad Romance," and "Nothing Else Matters" that truly stopped me in my tracks last year. Now those viral live clips will get the studio treatment, as Lissie, aka Elisabeth Maurus, will release Covered Up With Flowers , a 5-track EP, via Fat Possum on November 8th. In addition to the aforementioned Kid Cudi, Lady Gaga, and Metallica tunes, Maurus put Joe South's "Games People Play" and (noted [...]

Its been a while since I have delivered a Friday Treats post but have come across a few gems I had to share. Hope this is the start to the weekend you were all wishing for... Motocade - Holy Moly New Zealand india rockers have recently released their latest EP Holy Moly . The title track has been played around Australia and NZ on the back of recent festival dates. Its catchy, fun and denotes what weekends are all about. [...]
My view on Deadmau5 is very simple. He is nothing without Ghosts 'N Stuff . Maybe I could credit I Remember (Great Song) to Deadmau5 but in all reality, it was probably Kaskade who made the song what it is. In my opinion, his entire repertoire is very mediocre without those two tracks. However, this remix (I can't credit him for the song, just for the mix) that he drops of Longest Road is killer. It renews my faith in him since his very unimpressive performance at Outside Lands . I've posted the [...]
Lissie - Named Best New Solo Artist of 2010 by Paste - a call with which we wholeheartedly agree - the Rockford, IL roots/pop performer collects five covers from Lady Gaga to Metallica to Kid Cudi for this exotic and diverse EP...we caught Lissie at a live show this summer and were simply floored at how much she'd matured from coffeehouse folk ingénue into a charismatic and confident performer who delights in shaking things up // Release : Covered In Flowers (November 8, Fat Possum) // Sounds like : a lot [...]
