Paper Beat Scissors es un grupo de rock independiente canadiense que publicó un EP, Flicker , en el año 2009. Desde entonces han estado dando a conocer su música para acabar grabando su primer larga duración, en el que han contado con colaboraciones importantes. Se llamará como el grupo y se publicará el 6 de marzo a través de Forward Music Group . Quizá la más destacada sea la del baterista de Arcade Fire , Jeremy Gara, que mezcló el trabajo en su cocina de Montreal (seguro que no es una cocina al uso). [...]
The American President - well his Campaign Staff - have published a playlist of the songs he's using for his re-election campaign...
Todavía quedan unos meses hasta que llegue el día de las elecciones presidenciales de Estados Unidos (el 12 de noviembre), pero Obama y su equipo ya se han puesto las pilas para volver a estar en el poder cuatro años más. Así, teniendo en cuenta la viralidad y el éxito de su campaña de 2008, se le está dando una gran importancia a la comunicación a través de las plataformas sociales. La última estrategia ha sido publicar una lista Spotify con las 28 canciones elegidas por Obama para poner música al proceso en estos meses. [...]

Includes Wilco , Arcade Fire, Noah and the Whale, U2, and Bruce Springsteen .

President Barack Obama built his entire campaign on the premise of hope and change. Along the way, he's realigned the musical tastes associated with the leader of the free world, as evidenced by his love of hip-hop and Al Green and invitations to acts like The Killers and Yim Yames to play the White House. Fun fact: President Bush only had a paltry 250 songs on his iPod . In an effort to further play up his musical savviness (which undoubtedly translates to more votes in the Williamsburg region), [...]

Tal y como lo hizo hace 4 años, cuando competía por la presidencia de los Estados Unidos, el presidente Barack Obama acaba de publicar un playlist con sus canciones favoritas del momento. La gran diferencia en esta ocasión, aparte de que esta vez está tratando de ser reelegido, es que el playlist se puede escuchar integro en su página de Facebook usando Spotify. El playlist que se armó Obama tiene de todo y para todos. Pasa por No Doubt, Florence and the Machine, Wilco, Arcade Fire y Noah and the Whale, hasta Bruce Springsteen, Aretha [...]

President Obama has shared his re-election campaign playlist — the songs that the he and his team will be playing to get pumped up on the campaign trail from now til November — and there's no denying the President has eclectic tastes. Included on the list: No Doubt's "Different People", an album cut from their breakout album Tragic Kingdom ; Obama's fellow Chicago natives Jennifer Hudson, Wilco and The Impressions; and, of course, Al Green's "Let's Stay Together", a song we already knew the President was fond of . Check out all 24 songs after the jump. [...]

After five seasons and an emotional rollercoaster of a finale, Chuck has finally come to an end. The NBC action-comedy show revolved around computer nerd-turned-spy Chuck Bartowski and his handlers Sarah Walker and John Casey. While fighting an infinite supply of villains and dealing with personal relationships that came along the way, the group grew incredibly close and ultimately became a family. Chuck has been known for its focus on indie rock in its soundtrack, using songs from the likes of The Shins, Arcade Fire, and Band of Horses. We'll miss Chuck, the hundreds [...]

In retrospect, with a name alluding to the famous novella written by one of my favorite authors (John Steinbeck), it was inevitable that I would explore the music of the band Of Monsters and Men. This six-piece indie/folk band is just the latest Icelandic group to emerge from the small, remote island that seemingly produces more internationally-acclaimed musicians than it should, joining the likes of Sigur Rós, Björk, Emiliana Torrini and the last artist I interviewed, Ólöf Arnalds. In 2010, Of Monsters and Men broke onto the Icelandic music scene when they won the nation-wide battle [...]
