If you're not watching Downton Abbey you should! It's only in the second season and since each season is six episodes, it will be a snap to catch up. There's already a "Christmas Special" scheduled to air shortly after season two finishes up. And now word comes from show-creator Julian Fellowes that there will be a third season . "I would like to think that we will be back next year," said Fellowes hesitantly, before admitting that he always had three parts planned for Downton... "The original concept in my optimistic head [...]

There are two reasons I go to church: weddings and funerals. But thanks to the folks from The Fremont Abbey, it looks like I'm going to have to add a third reason: concerts. With incredible acoustics. By some of my very favorite artists. On October 1st the folks behind The Round are taking their inspiring [...]

It's on right now, but won't hit America until January. Someone needs to get those torrents up. Tweet

Joe writes: This U2 cover is the track that got me in to Scala and Kolacny Brothers. I believe Rob da Bank played it on Radio 1. Some time later their version of Creep was featured on the trailer to The Social Network. For me With Or Without You is even better than Creep so I was pleased to hear it featured on the trailer for the new series of Downton Abbey.

With an earthquake and a hurricane out of the way, New York's natural disaster quota for the next few days seems to be filled, just in time for AMPLIFY 2011: stones . AMPLIFY is a festival curated by Jon Abbey, the founder of Erstwhile Records . While the location shifts (past AMPLIFYs have taken place in Tokyo, Prague, Cologne, Berlin, and New York) and the cast of musicians changes, the consistent taste of Abbey guarantees an incredible festival. First, a little on Erstwhile. The label, started by Abbey in 1999, focuses almost exclusively on free improvisation, [...]

Sharon Van Etten ::: photo by Josh Lovseth It's hard to believe that Bumbershoot is just next week. Heralding the end of Seattle summer, Bumbershoot 2011 seems to be coming just when summer decided to say "hi" and I'm nowhere near ready to part ways. But if I'm going to have to say farewell, at least [...]

Avril Lavigne - Wireimage Avril Lavigne 's Abbey Dawn clothing line has got the MAGIC. The 27-year-old pop-rocker presented AD's new line to the fashion media at the MAGIC convention last night (August 23) in Las Vegas. After the work was done, Avril celebrated with an official afterparty at Pure nightclub, where she looked like a punk goddess in wild studded black wedge boots, ripped stockings, and a black tutu.

"#VEGAS it's time to PARTY!" Avril Lavigne tweeted to all of Sin City yesterday. The "Wish You Were Here" singer was celebrating her Abbey Dawn clothing line during the MAGIC fashion trade show. The pop star was certainly dressed for a fun night out in her black punky dress complete with a hot pink skinny belt and perfectly torn black tights, as the Canadian songbird prepared to take over Pure nightclub. Are you feeling the Goodbye Lullaby singer's red carpet look, or should the 26-year-old file this away under: What happens in [...]

Only in the UK however, boo (or for those that are comfortable torrenting it)! The season will include eight episodes as well as a two-hour Christmas episode. The first episode will open not with a witty but icy quip from the peerless Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham, played by Maggie Smith, but with the massive explosion of a shell in the battle of the Somme, where the heir to Downton, Matthew Crawley (played by Dan Stevens), is fighting. The drama's producers hope that the darker wartime storylines, and the aristocratic ensemble dressing down in the "we're all [...]

Avril Lavigne sports the latest Abbey Dawn threads in this spread for her Spring 2012 line. The talented songbird rocks everything from black stilettos, to a leopard print beret, and even a "Stop Making Sense" printed t-shirt (we wonder how David Byrne feels about that). We know that the pop star is a huge supporter of her clothing brand , so you'd think she'd at least crack one little smile for the camera. Ah, well. Check out the Canadian rocker's photo shoot — she's come a long way from her tank top and men's [...]

The Head and The Heart ::: photo by Josh Lovseth It snuck up on me, what with it feeling like March and everything, but the peak of Seattle summertime - the Capitol Hill Block Party is this weekend. Historically, Block Party is hosted on one of the hottest weekends of the Seattle summer and according to [...]

Now, here's something we'd never expect to see Avril Lavigne wearing: sandals! The "What The Hell" songbird stepped out in Berlin today to promote her Abbey Dawn line at the Bread & Butter fashion trade show dressed in a casual off-the-shoulder shirt, star-printed pants and leather studded flip flops that looked more "South Beach" than "Germany". We love your red toenails, but where are the usual Doc Martens, Avril?

Sasquatch ::: photo by Josh Lovseth I still can't believe Sasquatch is upon us this Friday, mostly because thanks to local weather patterns, I still can't believe it's May. But whatever the weather has led me to believe, the 10th annual Sasquatch! Music Festival (and the traditional start of local music fans' summer) does in fact [...]

I'm not a big fan of Lily Allen, and I think it's clumsily-worded, but surely her tweet about not being invited to the subsidised wedding this Friday was intended as a joke? : She moaned on Twitter: "You can quote me as 'outraged', why does bloody Joss Stone get an invite and not moi? I sang at the Diana concert too!" Gordon's taken it at face value, though. Her fiancé SAM COOPER must be pleased - it will stop Lily getting envious about Kate's big day. What does that mean, Gordon? That if Allen was [...]

And in the end...we can all be Fab The Fab Faux perform Abbey Road @ the Wellmont Theater - Montclair, NJ - March 12 I never hide my aversion to "cover bands." I mean, it's one thing to be away on vacation and walk into a sleepy little beach bar and hear some locals playing Bob Marley or Jimmy Buffet and find yourself singing along for an hour. But it's another thing to make it a regular occurrence. Or better yet, to try and make a career out of [...]

With West Fest , Folk and Roots and other goings on this weekend, it would be easy to overlook Sweet Apple at the Abbey Saturday. That would be a shame. The band is a couple of guys from Cleveland's Cobra Verde , the great guitar shredder J. Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. and Dave Sweetapple from Witch (a hard rock band that features Mascis on drums). The sound? Try to imagine Cobra Verde crossed [...]
