Yesterday we posted a live version of an ethereal new tune Bat For Lashes did at Australia's Vivid Festival. The second part of the Opera House set was performed acoustic with a string quartet - six songs of which five were covers (The Cure, Depeche Mode, Peter Gabriel, Radiohead, Dimitri Tiomkin/Ned Washington). Over the past five years Natasha Khan has taken to heightening the drama and mysticism of the most gothic tunes by artists who've inspired her; even her body language is haunting in this performance of Disintegration 's "Lullaby." So while we wait [...]
Summerfest considers itself the world's largest music festival - they even had Guinness certify that fact for them back in '99. Spanning 11 days, the Milwaukee, WI-based shindig features over 700 acts playing across 11 stages. And when it comes to revealing the lineup for this massive beast, it proves a multi-month process that began last winter and ended today with the announcement for the festival's final headliner - that honor goes to Jason Mraz. As for the other world-famous acts set to play in 2011? Kanye West (w/ Kid Cudi), Peter Gabriel and the New Blood Orchestrea, Kid [...]

On " Calgary ," Justin Vernon's vocals lay in a cloud of gloomy synths and anxious electric guitar tones, suggesting a sonic shift from the grainy For Emma formula. But not too much has changed - the ghostly falsetto remains Bon Iver's calling card. JV's voice has also been unmistakable on recent collaborations (GAYNGS, Volcano Choir, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy ) and an asset when he takes on someone else's song. So I'm especially looking forward to the "Calgary" 123 b-side, a combined cover of two Bonnie Raitt classics, "I Can't Make You Love Me" > [...]

Then I thought "But wait! Not all mothers like the same music!" so my mind then shifted to making a post for [...]
A friend and I once had a debate that ended in the agreement that solo singer songwriters have to have either one of two things to keep us interested: Good lyrics or balls. These raw emotional qualities we find most clearly in pop history from Bob Dylan. The balls department is effectively covered by Johnny [...]
