Last year, the primordial pop culture soup belched up an abomination in the form of Lulu, a collaborative effort between Lou Reed and Metallica. It made no sense. There was no reason for it to exist, unless maybe it was made on a dare. So in the interest of making the universe feel like a place of order and sanity, here’s a list of inevitable musical collaborations. These are songs, albums, and side projects that are [READ ON]

Going to work the day after a holiday is one of life’s greatest, soul-crushing hardships. Thankfully, friends of humanity David Byrne and St. Vincent have released a free companion EP to last year’s Love This Giant to get us through the day! It includes one previously released track, two remixes and two live tracks that are so full of brassy exuberance (much like the full album) that it’s sure to make [READ ON]
When I was first asked to do a ’20 Faves’ feature on The New Pornographers, I jumped at the opportunity. The Vancouver-based band united as a supergroup in the late ‘90s and has since gained a solid following of devout fans. The three leaders include alternative country solo artist Neko Case, solo artist A.C. Newman, and Dan Bejar of Destroyer. Additional members include Kathryn Calder, John Collins, Kurt Dahle, Todd Fancey, and Blaine Thurier, who exhibit their artistry through [READ ON]
Bonnaroo just announced their lineup, and it’s so fantastic, it almost makes it worth sitting through Weird Al’s wonkiness to hear it (almost). Every festival has its own personality, and two of Bonnaroo’s favorite headliners are back this year — Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers and Mumford & Sons. And then a bunch of our new favorites were added this year, such as David Byrne & St. Vincent (new as a duo), Alt-j, Tame Impala, and HAIM, to mention just a few. But, wait. Bonnaroo also managed to lock in two HUGE headliners – Paul McCartney and Bjork! [READ ON]
Well hey there, folks! I can’t believe it’s already February BUT I’m excited because that means I get to share a new mixtape with you all! This month’s has a much different feel than the last couple mixes I’ve made. In light of the passion associated with Valentine’s Day (and in a move to keep myself musically entertained), I wanted to make this mix really groovy, with [READ ON]
Fall has finally begun, and with it, yet another wave of amazing bands are in town playing venues across Manhattan and Brooklyn. After releasing their collab album Love This Giant two weeks ago, David Byrne and St. Vincent will put the new songs on display with three shows planned in the city this week — two at Beacon Theater [READ ON]
You guys, there are just…a million awesome releases today. Seriously, there are a million — so many that we really had to edit this baby down to just our favorites. Let’s just jump right in, so you can start your [READ ON]
After more than a decade of uniting fans of all backgrounds, Bonnaroo sometimes feels less like a music festival and more like a vibrant, thriving city of 80,000 that only springs to life for one weekend every year. The consistently excellent lineups (this year’s headliners were Phish, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Radiohead, The Beach Boys, Bon Iver, The Avett Brothers, and The Shins) are always a major draw, but what keeps people coming back is the overwhelming sense of community and positivity that is unmatched among other festivals around the country. In the seclusion of the forests and farmland of Manchester, TN, attendees are greeted by old familiar landmarks and festival [READ ON]

Amazingly enough, 2011 has already come and gone, but with it came a slew of glorious, captivating records. From the return of veterans Bright Eyes, Wilco, and Death Cab for Cutie, to sophomore explosions [READ ON]
Back in 2010, Cerulean, the debut album from Will Wiesenfeld under his Baths moniker, emerged at a rather apt moment. As the LA beat scene was beginning to see[READ ON]
Devendra Banhart was well-received last Wednesday night as he strolled onto the stage enrobed in lopsided smile and dun cardigan, greeting onlookers with his charming patois[READ ON]
