No Elephants For You!
The newly reunited Sunny Day Real Estate (including original bassist and current Foo Fighter Nate Mendel) stopped by Fallon last night to perform “Seven” from their debut full length Diary – circa 1994. Sub Pop has just reissued remastered versions of both Diary and LP2 for all to enjoy.
Check out the Fallon performance below and then head over [...]
Bon Iver played a sunrise show at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery this past Sunday, September 27 (thanks to Brooklyn Vegan for the above photo). Head over to Muzzle of Bees for a great recap of the show. I found some incredible videos on YouTube of this event, I wish I would have hopped on a plane myself. Enjoy:

If you missed Letterman or Fallon last night you missed a couple of great performances from The Avett Brothers and Dirty Projectors. The Roots‘ Questlove became a quick [...]
Finally. Every week I think, alright this is the week the new Avett Brothers album (pictured above) comes out, only to find out I’m wrong again. The Rick Rubin-produced I and Love and You promises to be the brothers’ most accessible album, but probably not the blockbuster release Rubin and the boys hope for.
Lately I’ve been listing every possible release that I or any [...]
Tomorrow’s the big day as the The Avett Brothers release their Rick Rubin-produced album, I and Love and You (via Sony). Here’s the new video for the first single “I and Love and You”:

I am both excited and completely exhausted just thinking about the number of shows going on this week. I have my case of Red Bull chilling in the fridge – ready for the Vitamines to rip apart my stomach (I’ve got a special prize for whoever gets that reference). I’ve been revved up for a while [...]
Thanks to Muzzle of Bees for posting this great video of an impromptu DeYarmond Edison (pictured above) reunion between Bon Iver and Megafaun. As a born and raised Wisconsinite I’m still kicking myself that I never caught a DeYarmond Edison show up in Eau Claire. I guess this video from the Fillmore will have to do for now:

For some reason I missed the boat when it came to Sufjan Stevens. Sure I heard about his ambitious project to make a record about each of the 50 states, so far he’s got two in the bag (Michigan and Illinois), but it wasn’t until I needed some new Christmas music a couple years ago that [...]
