If that was winter, we guess it's pretty much over, which is depressing news for those of us who actually enjoy the snow (and for anyone worried about, y'know, global warming and the future of the planet.) We're already looking wistfully back at the photos we published a couple of weeks back of famous authors playing in the snow , and we thought we'd follow up today with similar images of musicians. These were somewhat more difficult to track down — a legacy, perhaps, of the fact that musicians as a whole aren't exactly noted for being outdoor types — [...]

Image Source: Molakoe.co.uk Guitars are beautiful objects – just look at the mahogany Gibson Les Paul above! While the majority of non-musically talented folk can appreciate the aesthetics of a decent axe, the emotional bond goes much deeper for those who have spent their youth with – and written tops hits using – a beloved axe. Imagine the devastation then, when opportunist thieves decide to run off guitars belonging to famous musicians. Guitars are prone to theft since bandits know their desirability makes them very easy to sell on, guaranteeing a quick buck or [...]

White Stripes Cover David Bowie - “Moonage Daydream” Legend has it that one of the first songs Jack and Meg White performed together, circa 1997, was a cover of David Bowie (aka Arnold Corn)’s “Moonage Daydream.” So in honor of the Thin White Duke’s 64th birthday today, let’s revisit an uber-rare recording of the White Stripes unleashing their take on his 1971 classic at Detroit’s Gold Dollar bar back in the day. How far back in the day, you ask? Well, Chromewaves thinks it’s from ‘97, but let’s just say it was back when [...]
Patrick Pantano The White Stripes' affection for all things old - from toy cameras to Tesla coils - is well-documented, and that affection obviously extends to their own music. Their first three records The White Stripes , De Stijl and White Blood Cells have been out of print on vinyl in North America since 2005, and for an avowed analogphile as Jack White, that simply cannot stand. So as of this Tuesday, [...]

With the premiere of Conan O'Brien's foray into cable television upon us, we thought it would be an opportune time to revisit some of O'Brien's most memorable music guests over the years. Since the premiere of Late Night back in 1993, Conan and his team have put on a masterclass in music booking, giving seemingly hundreds of well deserved bands their network debuts. TBS has apparently given Conan plenty of control, so here's hoping Team CoCo can continue in the tradition of Late Night by bringing new, exciting bands to the masses. [...]

Yesterday the Rockerfeller Christmas tree was lit up, last weekend people flocked to malls trying to grab up gifts for their beloved, and we are firmly entrenched in yet another holiday season. At this point I'm sure you're being inundated with holiday music whether in the car or in the mall or wherever, but I am here to tell you that not all of it is the unbearable garbage they shill on most of those stations, some of it is truly enjoyable and will only make this season better for you! Remember good music soothes even the most savage of [...]

Location: 157 Charing Cross Road, London Website: http://www.festivalrepublic.co m/venues/#Astoria Capacity: 2,000 Come to see: The Astoria had the reputation of being one of the venues to tick off for a band on the rise - to sell out the Astoria meant something, a venue that suddenly took your audience out of the mere hundreds and into the thousands. The venue opened in 1927 as a [...]
The fortieth anniversary of our moon landing has generated a good deal of buzz (pun intended). Much of it is bemoaning the current state of N.A.S.A. which, without the Soviets around the keep them on their toes, hasn't done a lot of late. They're currently saying by 2020 we can get somebody to the moon. Again. Umm…yay? I understand that with the current economic and political climate we've got larger priorities, but with the current climate climate we can't forget about the rest of space entirely. Earth's only got so long. [...]
Moonage Daydream was first released as a single in 1971 by Arnold Corns (one of David Bowie's pseudonyms), and was later released in 1972 on the album The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars . In The Words and Music of David Bowie, James E. Perone writes, Bowie's vocal melody and arrangement in the song's chorus sections also closely resemble Elton John's contemporary work (notably "Tiny Dancer"), although "Moonage Daydream" includes enough of a touch of heavy metal-style-electric guitar and percussion in [...]
The Shins right now are no longer the Shins they used to be—founder James Mercer debuted a new line-up (with members of Modest Mouse and Fruit Bats) last week and will be taking the band from Sub Pop to their own label All Apothecary for their next releases. He speaks now about this and Bob Dylan, Heath Ledger and Kermit the Frog, too. This interview by Daiana Feuer.
With more than 5 months to go, Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival has seen the release of the first (soon to be many) fake line-up. Some of the line-up highlights include the White Stripes , David Bowie and Kings Of Leon . As for the real, official line-up...that will be announced sometime in January. [via Stereogum ]
