Once again, Taylor Swift and LL Cool J came together for a little Grammy co-hosting pomp and cheesiness — this time for The GRAMMY Nominations Concert Live!! , which was broadcast from Nashville. Swift herself, no stranger to racking of industry nods and statues, found herself up for Record Of The Year (for her Hot 100 chart topper "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together"). But it became clear early on that a pair of artists were favorites with capital Fs — well, at least [...]
Viernes 12 de octubre de 2012, parte 1 de 3. Austin City Limits 2012. Antes que relatarles esta experiencia, es importante recalcar que nuestra experiencia en conciertos y festivales se remitía solamente a México y nada más, así que el hecho de haber asistido a este festival ha sido nuevo, revolucionario, y muy emotivo para [...]

This past weekend the Austin City Limits festival took over returned to Texas' artistic hotbed with an eclectic lineup boasting legends of rock, pop stars on the rise, eclectic unclassifiables, a dash of dubstep, and a pinch of rap for good measure. Chief among the festivals notables were Jack White , the Black Keys , and the Shins , as solid a triumvirate of modern rockers as you can find. Check out highlights from their sets below and watch more clips from ACL here . Jack White [...]

We're hittin' the highway this morning to head for Austin and the 2012 edition of the Austin City Limits Music Festival, three days worth of music and mayhem. This year we strategically chose to attend only the middle day - and that turned out to be the most-sought after ticket. At most concerts where you have to run a gauntlet of scalpers with fistfuls of tickets, ACL is the flip side. For every festival goer headed to Zilker Park there at least two people along the way who are willing to do just about [...]

Photo Credit: Andrew St. Clair 21 years after its inception, Lollapalooza is a festival that does most things right. For quite a while, it's been in a very convenient area and has an excellent line-up, even compared with competing fests such as Bonnaroo, Coachella, and Outside Lands. When done right, a great festival includes bands for everyone, and Lollapalooza does this to near perfection. Among the headliners: Jack White and Red Hot Chili Peppers , Justice , Kaskade , Bassnecter and Santigold [...]
Kevin McKeown and Eric Owen may be Canadian-born but their relocation to Austin, Texas isn't their only claim to the south - they produce some rich blues-rock that will even have southern natives jammin'. Having been compared to the legendary Creedence Clearwater Revival in the past, their new single, "Crows Feet" channels the vigor of [...]

With more than 100 bands on eight stages (well, seven if you discount the Kidz stage, which often features songs about barnyard animals), Lollapalooza is expected to be exhausting and overwhelming. The point is to see as many bands as possible, because you paid for a ticket and dammit you're going to make that 3-day wristband worth it. At least, that was my Year 1 strategy. Year 2 was a little more laid back; I even took a night off, missing a few bands I would have liked to see in the name of sleep and sunburn recovery. [...]
El gran evento que se celebra cada año en Grant Park, Chicago, sin duda y como siempre, fue trascendental, a pesar del pequeño incidente que se vivió con el clima de esa ciudad en el segundo día del festival, cosa que obligó a los organizadores a desalojar a la gente y retrasar un poco ese [...]

As usual, there are hard choices to make at Lollapalooza . And unlike smaller festivals, it's hard to run from end to end to catch multiple sets when they're playing at the same time. Here are 10 time-slot conflicts and my resolution for each: FRIDAY Sharon Van Etten vs. Tame Impala : This is a tough one. Van Etten made a wonderful album this year but I just think Tame Impala is going to play a more lively set. Passion Pit vs. [...]
