Sam Jones She & Him are not a band given to mystery. Despite the anonymous name, everyone knows it's Matt Ward and Zooey Deschanel and their sugar-sweet old-timey country-pop sound is pretty well-established at this point. And if you're at all surprised that their third album, announced yesterday as coming May 7, is called Volume 3 , then you really haven't been paying attention. But residents of the Greater Toronto Area looking at the tour dates that accompanied the announcement can be forgiven for scratching their [...]
The Flaming Lips son famosos por realizar diversos proyectos creativos poco ortodoxos: un musical de uno de sus obras , incluir sangre de colaboradores en un disco o hacer una canción de 24hs . En esta oportunidad montaron su propio radioteatro de ciencia ficción llamado El tumor con forma de cabeza de Wayne Coyne . A lo Orson Welles y la Guerra De Los Mundos , The Flaming Lips montó su propia novela radial de ciencia ficción de [...]
from Wayne's Twitter McSweeney's has commissioned fantasy writer Richard Parks to create an hour-long radio special starring Wayne Coyne and the Flaming Lips , which will be aired on Saturday and Sunday at 5 p.m. Pacific time on KCRW (or streaming at KCRW.com for those not in LA). It's an old-time radio special in the War of the Worlds tradition, and the main conflict has to do with a human-head-sized tumor growing out of Wayne Coyne's leg [...]
Photo courtesy of Jessica Luther While known primarily as a humorous and progressive publishing house (and the force out Beck's Song Reader ), McSweeney's recently commissioned writer Richard Parks to create a one-hour radio special starring Wayne Coyne and Steven Drozd of The Flaming Lips . As McSweeney's tells it , Parks vanished for a few months, no doubt held up in his writing cave, and emerged with a most bizarre and shimmery gem. "Wayne Coyne’s Human Head-Shaped Tumor" is a "continuous-play radio [...]

photo by Morgen Schuler Neil Young's annual acoustic-only Bridge School Benefit shows always boast some incredible lineups, and this year looks to be just as memorable for both its talent-stacked bill and the curveballs that Uncle Neil has brought on board. Joining Neil Young and Crazy Horse next month are Jack White, The Flaming Lips, Gary Clark Jr., Lucinda Williams, K.D. Lang , and, for some reason, Guns N' Roses and Sarah McLachlan . We'll just have to wait and see if Axl and co. can top [...]
Jo McCaughey Two, actually. Typically big albums come with big tours, but while Jack White's solo debut Blunderbuss has been inarguably one of the biggest releases of the year for the adjectiveless rock set, his touring itinerary - at least in North America - has been relatively scattershot, favouring short stretches anchored by festival dates. And while no one would call the dates announced yesterday any kind of cross-country marathon, it does include the first three eastern Canadian dates since the end of The White Stripes, [...]

You know how Coachella is doing that cruise thing? Well, Stephen Colbert can top that.

I cannot for the life of me remember how I stumbled across WIM. Perhaps they came to me in a dream, or perhaps through a subliminal message, or perhaps just on Youtube. Whatever the case, this is one band that I won’t forget about in a hurry. Formed in 2008, WIM [...]

Sam Beam returns with Iron & Wine’s most musically expansive LP to date.
The Nateva Music and Camping Festival entered its first year with a few strikes against it. Strike 1: Price. The event cost almost as much as Bonnaroo or Lollapalooza with only a fraction of the bands. Strike 2: Location. Oxford, Maine isn’t in the middle of nowhere; it’s in the upper right hard-to-reach corner of nowhere. Near-Strike 3 (call it a foul): Bad press. The fest first bumped heads with a reporter circulating an erroneous report saying swamp mud had rendered camping areas unusable. Then a week later, the fest sent out a draconian photo [...]
