Later this week upwards of 80,000 music fans will descend upon Manchester, Tennessee to see scores of bands, comedians, DJs and more at the 12th installment of the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival . The fest humbly began back in 2002, hosting around 50 mostly jam-oriented bands across four stages. Over the past decade-plus Bonnaroo has grown exponentially and will see nearly as many acts perform on its first day alone then did as at the whole event during its inaugural year. For this year’s fest, the promoters have once again put together a lineup that is stacked from top [...]

My friend Devin sent me these 3 minutes and 34 seconds of amazing this morning and I had to share it with you. Two of the most talented humans the world has ever seen expression a love and appreciation for each other no phony could ever understand. If you love a flower, don't pick it up. Because if you pick it up it dies and it ceases to be what you love. So if you love a flower, let it be. Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation." - [...]

Lead singer Daniel Balk of the Postelles recently was filmed playing this spare acoustic version of the band's 'Heavy Hands', from their new album 'And It Shook Me', out now. Watch the performance below. Gold stars to whoever can identify this patch of English countryside. I'm clueless! Click here to view the embedded video.

Rarely could you hope to enter into as vivid a reenactment of the ostensibly halcyon days of a bygone '90s as you doubtless will at any which worshipping at the illicit substance-laden altar of The Stone Roses . Their audience unchanging as a concrete flower patch, Liquid Gold poppers tip and spill into dejected cans of crumpled drunkenness; psychedelically patterned balloons deflate before again returning to a bulbous state of being split seconds later; and the scent of poorly fabricated roll-up cigarettes proves commensurately all-pervasive to the exuberant presence of the feds . For a weekend commencing prematurely [...]

VerseChorusVerse play a special full-band show in Whelan's, Dublin, on Thursday. The video below is a taster of what you can expect at the show from Tony Wright and friends, as they rehearse 'No More Years' at Graham House Studio, Belfast. It's a raucous three and a half minutes that [Read more]

We've been fans of Blood Command for a couple of years now. They're part of the Norwegian mafia that's brought us the likes of Kvelertak , Wolves Like Us and Man The Machetes in recent times but these guys appear to be stepping up their onslaught of the UK over recent months. Interesting... 6 things we learnt when we saw Blood Command in Camden: 1) [...]

It's on an unprecedentedly estival afternoon that Wolf Alice and I bare teeth to meet on what has been a long overdue encounter. Amid talk of Glastonbury heat waves and exponentially hotting climes, January thankfully couldn't feel further removed from this afternoon and indeed it seems an apt time to speak with a band to be bracketed among the hottest properties of an onsetting summer at that acute point at which the season seems to be at last beginning in earnest. Though a notable element of the nom de plume on which they've doubtless been quizzed [...]

Here is the list on who to see on Thursday night during NXNE . I may or may not attend but it is a easy way to see who to see. * means MUST SEE If I forgotten any please make a comment. Don't be scared to say hello to me (I might get a little freaked out at first ). 7 PM The Balconies @St. James Gazebo [...]

Miley Cyrus The "R" in Miley Cyrus ' middle name no longer stands for "Ray," it stands for "ratchet." The pop star-turned-hip hop enthusiast tried her hand at supreme ratchetness as she joined Juicy J on stage to twerk to his stripper anthem "Bandz A Make Her Dance." And did it make Miley dance! She shook what her mama gave her and dropped it as low and as often as she could in front of the crowd. Miley's new ratchet ways apply to both her dance moves [...]

Photos by G. Vincent Frank aka Frankmusik Frankmusik is back!  The soulful/pop British singer is currently embarking on his first US headlining tour and one of his first stops was a sold out show at New York's Pianos on June 8, 2013.  This is the third time I've seen Frankmusik and also the third different city I've seen him in.  Previously, I'd seen him in London as well as Los Angeles so it was great to see him in New York.  He released his 3rd album [...]

Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran teamed up for a live performance of their beautiful duet, " Everything Has Changed ," on the live Britain's Got Talent results show finale. The talented duo each strummed on their guitars while performing the song live on BGT. Swift and Sheeran both sounded fantastic while trading verses on the song and singing together on the chorus showing off their undeniable chemistry. No wonder there's dating rumors swirling about the two stars who are currently touring together. [...]

When The Lonely Island performed "Semicolon" on Jimmy Kimmel Live , the parody rap group didn't explain why Alanis Morissette - and not Solange , as heard in the studio version - was singing the chorus, not at first anyway. Even though "Semicolon" riffs off rap's current obsession with commas (as in, the number that appears in their current salaries), and chancellor reference aside, the Lonely Island clearly had the '90s in mind: "'Did I do that?' Urkel / Angela, Who's the Boss ? / Merkel." [...]

It's that time of the year where I head down to Toronto for NXNE . Should be a fun time to check out the bands and musicians playing at the festival. So I am going to do a run down on who to see. This is for June 12th which is a Wednesday. I am going to list them by the times they are playing at. I may or may not attend but it is a easy way to see who to see. * means MUST SEE If I [...]

  Photography by Melissa Scheinberg After a successful first day , it was time for Day 2 of the first-ever  Boston Calling . Day two's lineup, co-curated by  The National 's  Aaron Dessner , was definitely art rock-heavy - especially compared to the previous day's synth-pop-heavy lineup, thus bringing in a very different vibe and audience. I arrived just as local post-rockers  Caspian were finishing up their speaker-blowing set, so I headed straight over to the secondary stage for  Youth Lagoon . While  Youth [...]

Our man Rob McAuslan  is a bit of an Iron Maiden   fan. He travelled to another country to see them play live in Paris. We know some people who get the hump when they have to get the bus to go to a gig. Rob's got dedication. 6 things we learned watching Iron Maiden in Paris... 1)  The French have a way more "laissez-faire" attitude towards arena shows and health and [...]
