Trailer for the new Wilco album

written by: Matt Flint on August 15, 2011

I recently re-watched I Am Trying to Break  Your Heart on Netflix, so my admiration for how much effort Wilco put into a record is fresh in my mind. The way they dissect every single aspect of every song. The way Jeff Tweedy takes control. The way they rock in the studio. The band’s upcoming […]

written by: Matt Flint on August 12, 2011

Watch The Throne is undoubtedly the summer blockbuster of records. Maybe it’s not a deep cut, artsy record. But it’s big, flashy, and has the biggest stars in the game. This Spike Jonze-directed video for “Otis” off WTT is great if only for how much genuine fun Kanye and Jay seem to be having. Yes, it’s […]

We’ve seen a lot of live videos of tUnE-yArDs. And they are all pretty much rad but, you know, we get it. This one throws a little something else into the mix with this performance of “Gantsta”: The Roots. It’s a little bit like The Roots hadn’t really heard this song before, or rehearsed it that […]

Flaming Lips and Lightning Bolt collaboration

written by: Matt Flint on July 27, 2011

Well…here’s something really weird to get you over the midweek hump. A collaboration between The Flaming Lips and Lighning Bolt called “I Wanna Get High But I Don’t Want Brain Damage.” Surprise!

Sufjan Stevens on Soundcheck

written by: Matt Flint on July 25, 2011

Seeing the entirety of Age of Adz’s”Impossible Soul” – all 20-plus minutes of it – performed live was one of the single coolest live music moments I can remember seeing. People were dancing in the aisles, hugging strangers, it was awesome in a very true sense of the word. So, naturally, seeing just the final […]

And he’s making the rounds of late night talk shows now, stopping by Kimmel last night to perform “I Stand Alone,” the closing track on the new record. He’s got a glittery red tank top […]

Enest Greene recently sat down and talked to NPR music. In the interview he said: “When I look back at the record and listen to it, I can sort of see where I was at when I was making it — these brief little moments, different places I was at emotionally,” he says. “So, to […]
