</embed> Lana Del Rey is the luckiest girl alive, but more importantly, the luckiest new buzzband human alive. She sold mad albums, and really only performed like 10 songs total 4 a live audience. Now, she doesn't have to 'tour' because touring is 2 try to make money because u didn't sell albums, but she already sold albums, so she can be like 'whatevz. I'm just gonna chill, milk the spotlight, and do some random TV performances.' She was on Kimmel playing "Video Games ", and it was boring/forgettable. It is like she 'isn't [...]

Greg Bortnichak and Erin Murphy are two of the finest human beings I've had the pleasure of meeting, part of the reason why their existence as Bard and Mustache is all the more special. Aside from being incredibly talented musicians and proponents, and torchbearers, of Sarasota's burgeoning music scene, Greg and Erin are a couple. There've been plenty of relationships in music throughout the ages that have resulted in some great duets/duos, but there's something particularly lovely about the bond between these two musicians -- something that thrives and reveals itself through their music. It seems only fitting that I've [...]

Today's Live Performance by today's audio and video standards leaves a lot to be desired, but because of the legendary status of the performance I'll post it anyway. It is still enjoyable and there's not that much footage available with a full live performance of Duane's unique guitar playing talent anyway. On 1970 / 09 /23, Bill Graham assembled a stellar roster of bands to participate in the filming of a television special called "Welcome To The Fillmore East" for broadcast on educational channels. The Allman Brothers performance is nothing short of spectacular and features [...]

Today's Live Performance is a respectful tribute to the late great Whitney Houston. R.I.P. Whitney Elizabeth Houston (August 9, 1963 – February 11, 2012) Whitney Houston put together her Welcome Home Heroes concert with HBO for the soldiers fighting in the Persian Gulf War and their families. The free concert took place at Naval Station Norfolk in Norfolk, Virginia in front of 3,500 servicemen and women. HBO descrambled the concert so that it was free for everyone to watch. Houston's concert gave HBO its highest ratings ever. She then [...]

yah this was pretty cool...In a notable sign that the popular musical tides have shifted, EDM maestros David Guetta & Deadmau5 take their place at the Grammy stages with a little Foo Fighters mixed in between for this cross-genre multi-track medley. Chris Brown comes out in support to begin with, punctuated by a seemingly off-the-top verse from Lil Wayne of all people. Pretty cool, enjoy above. Huge props to Yardie on always getting these vids up and in high quality - give the [...]

In easily the most theatrical performance of the night, Nicki Minaj takes the moment to premiere her anticipated single "Roman Holiday", in this rendition that will easily offend many a devout Catholic. Definitely a lot of nice things about this track, sounds like a stray from what's become typical of Minaj, which is great. The track will be available at i-tunes tonight, go grab it. [via]

Rihanna started off this segment doing a solo rendition of her Calvin Harris supported smash "We Found Love", then sided with Chris Martin & Coldplay for a toned-down performance of "Princess Of China". The famed British ensemble then took over with "Paradise"...Deadmau5, David Guetta, & Adele to hopefully follow! [via]

Chris Brown goes off tonight in this medley of "Turn Up The Music" & "Beautiful People". This dude sings / dances live better than anyone else out there these days - capped off in this performance with a killer flip that almost doesn't look real....props to CB. [via]

After a lengthy wait, the release date of Chiddy Bang 's much-delayed debut full-length Breakfast has finally reached around-the-corner status (it drops February 21st in the U.S. [pre-order it here or here ], everywhere else March 5th), so it only makes sense that the alt-hip hop duo have already begun making promotional stops with today finding them in BBC's 1Xtra Live Lounge studios where they performed current single "Ray Charles" and, as their cover pick (our favorite part), opted on taking on Big Sean's Summer of '11 jam "Marvin [...]

Justin Vernon and The Roots play a soulful 8 minute version of "Perth" on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Luckily they released the video on the web so those who didn't get to catch it may watch it. An interesting combo, but Bon Iver is no stranger to collaborations having worked with the likes Kanye West before.

We know it's been said in every blog post or review mentioning 21-year-old London-born/ Ireland-raised newcomer Maverick Sabre , but still, it's something that must be repeated: What an odd little voice this dude has! Cue the eye-rolling music crit math: Sabre's nasally, near-spoof-of-funk-vocalists croak sounds as if Mike Posner and Amy Winehouse had a baby (alongside siblings Daniel Merriweather, Plan B and Eamon) who grew up listening to nothing but Cee-Lo and Cameo records (in our minds, his first word was probably a Larry Blackmon-like "Owww!"); as annoying as this combination may sound on paper, it [...]

Singer Lana Del Ray will not be going on tour anytime soon. Apparently, Lana's team have decided to pull the plug on any more gigs for a while following her less then energetic performance on " Saturday Night Live ." The " Video Games " singer's performances were set to coincide with the release of her album " Born To Die ," but it looks like it might be a while before she gets behind the microphone. "[Lana] and her [...]

Today's Live Performance comes courtesy of five swamp rocking gentlemen from Nashville Tenessee. Recorded and filmed by Rockpalast at the Harmonie in Bonn (Germany) on 19 Oktober 2011 and first broadcast by Rockpalast on German TV Channel 3Sat the 22nd November 2011. It's a fusion of traditional southern soul and funk-inspired power, all layered with furious harmonica lines that simultaneously tie the group together and threaten to tear it apart. As if the warm familiar melody of rootsy porch music has been plugged in and turned up, The Delta Saints are driving listeners from [...]

​There was absolutely zero chance that Madonna wasn't going to capitalize on her Super Bowl appearance this past weekend. Although it's unlikely that Madge will be able to pack M.I.A. (and her itchy m
