Are you ready to feel like a piece of shit? Gordon Gano was 19 when the Violent Femmes recorded their self-titled debut album. True story: the trio borrowed $10,000 from bassist Brian Ritchie’s old man and ground out one of the great American rock albums of the 1980’s, and certainly one of the most unmistakable. [...]

The North Carolina bluegrass quartet The Avett Brothers recorded an incredible Daytrotter session a few months ago, during the bands stint at SXSW. Like always in their live performances, The Avett Brothers were simply incredible, shinning thanks to their rootsy, soulful approach to music. Sincere, from the heart music is hard to find during our [...]

Clichés are basically the exact opposite of a box of chocolates: you always know what you’re gonna get next. The key to making clichés work in songwriting is to couch the clichés in a bunch of other interesting stuff so that they’re not all that important to the song, in the end. This is a [...]

In his latest video, for what seems to be the title track for his upcoming new album, Neil is featured in a one-shot position, listening to music on his headphones, plugged-in into an apple. He then bites it, after chanting “I’m a big rock star” (indeed you are, sir!) - quite a nice allegory to [...]

Here’s a sweet performance by Iron & Wine, playing a live version of “Flightless Bird, American Mouth” a few nights back on Jay Leno. In a characteristic Sam Beam way, the whole experience was relaxing, eerie and pleasant. Proof again that he’s just as good both on stage and in the studio. Off his critically [...]
