L.A. based Hands just released the music video for “Hold”, their first official HIT single, which we covered some time ago. The video is a complete reinterpretation of the song. Hands wrote “Hold” with the theme of having a constantly changing perspective on life, whereas the video, conceptualized and directed by two University students in Germany… Continue reading Hands release video for “Hold”

Stream an hour long Mumford & Sons Concert
Considering this is such a long video, I hesitated to post it. But then I listened, transfixed, to the first song of the set, “Sigh No More.” It continues to baffle me how the band can conjure up so much raw intensity with only a kick drum and tambourine in terms of percussion. Anyway, if… Continue reading Stream an hour long Mumford & Sons Concert
Cee-Lo Green covers Band Of Horses’ “No One’s Gonna Love You” in NSFW video
Cee-Lo Green, of Gnarls Barkley, has covered one of my favorite Band Of Horses‘ songs, “No One’s Gonna Love You”, for his upcoming solo record, Lady Killer, due out this Fall. While the MP3 hasn’t been made available, the music video just surfaced and it’s romantic, cinematic, sad, and awesome. And NSFW. EDIT: While the… Continue reading Cee-Lo Green covers Band Of Horses’ “No One’s Gonna Love You” in NSFW video
Dog and wolf sing a heartbreaking duet
Full disclosure: this duet is not heartbreaking. Nor is it a wolf and a dog singing it. It’s just freaking awesome. I don’t need to say any more.

U.K. lobbyist would LOVE capital punishment for music pirates
Now, I don’t want to put words in so and so’s mouth about such and such off-the-cuff comment, but this one is just too good to pass up and this guy is probably rich and snooty and supports billionaires making more billions of dollars so poor people can’t share music online. Boing Boing caught Fran… Continue reading U.K. lobbyist would LOVE capital punishment for music pirates

[MP3 + Video] Marina and the Diamonds covers 3OH3! and Katy Perry’s “Starstrukk”
Stirring, raw piano rendition of the mega-popular song. Marina’s having a hard time doing much wrong in my book (plus her book – nice publicity stunt). Do I need to write more here? Does it matter? Will you read my writing? How much can I describe a song, much less a cover, without getting over-the-top?… Continue reading [MP3 + Video] Marina and the Diamonds covers 3OH3! and Katy Perry’s “Starstrukk”

It was written to lament exactly what the title implies, and the lyrics discuss how record stores make for… Continue reading [MP3] Ian McGlynn & The Dead Radio: “Digital Killed the Record Store”
Josh Ritter seems to have a lot of fun on tour
…As evidenced by this video we just got in our e-mail. It’s a clip of Ritter and his band plowing through “To the Dogs or Whoever” after making a (presumably) dramatic entrance to the new introductory track “Curtains.” And also, for all our DC brethren, the video was taken at the district’s 9:30 club, which… Continue reading Josh Ritter seems to have a lot of fun on tour
