Beck’s most recent musical experiment, entitled Record Club, is covering entire rock albums from that past. Having already taken on The Velvet Underground & Nico and Songs of Leonard Cohen, Becks most recent project is to redo Skip Spence’s Oar. For this session, he invited Feist and members of Wilco to help perform a new [...]
The user ByteMe on rateyourmusic.com has compiled a list of band name origins. It’s far from comprehensive but it covers a wide spectrum of bands, new and old, so you’re sure to find a bunch that you know. And hey, maybe you’ll be turned on to some just based on how they got their name!
“You Never Know” on The Tonight Show with Conan: “You and I” performed for the first time live with Feist:
Yea, it’s true. The cover seems about as strange as actually having this song in the official track listing: The self-titled LP comes out June 30th on Nonesuch.
I can guarantee one thing: Sasquatch will not pull a Langerado. A handful of big names overlap with Bonnaroo, but that’s not a bad thing considering how far apart they are from each other: Sasquatch is in Washington state and Bonnaroo (lineup) is in Tennessee.

The king of summer festivals is back on the beautiful 700-acre Manchester farm in June (11th-14th), and the announcement of (some of) the performers came this morning. The lineup is packed full of big names and great accompanying artists. Metallica and Kanye are gone this year (YES!), and Phish is bringing back Bonnaroo as a [...]
So the guys over at NYCTaper are known for checking out sweet concerts in the New York City area and bringing their recording equipment along with them. I’m not exactly sure about the quality of all of the shows, but they have mentioned finding the perfect spot to stand in the crowd to get maximum [...]
Jeff Tweedy and the boys have decided to make a swing by The Colbert Report this Thursday. Mr. Colbert seems to have some excellent taste in music, previously inviting on his show the likes of Feist, R.E.M., Apples in Stereo, the Roots, and The Decemberists. Wilco are currently planning to play one song at the [...]
The sweet Wilco/Fleet Foxes cover of Dylan’s “I Shall be Released”, as reported earlier this month here, is being being released for free download. All you have to do is pledge to vote in the upcoming U.S. election. We aren’t sure how our international friends are supposed to get a hold of the track, though. [...]
During a recent tour stop in Spokane, Washington, Wilco and Fleet Foxes collaborated on a cover of Bob Dylan’s “I Shall Be Released”. With both bands huddled around mics for the chorus, Nels Cline strumming away, and Jeff Tweedy belting out his best Dylan, we couldn’t help but notice Wilco’s fascination with the ‘troubadour of [...]
