Listen: KCRW Uploads 1994 Jeff Buckley Session
twentyfourbit:
Back in the summer of ‘94, Jeff Buckley’s breakthrough debut Grace was recorded and ready for release by Columbia Records, but the now-iconic singer’s only non-posthumous LP had yet to reach the ears of the masses, including those of KCRW’s Chris Douridas. “I remember it being a very busy time for us at KCRW and I confess, I initially didn’t respond positively to Columbia Records’...

U2 announced the support acts for this summer’s North American 360° stadium tour on their official site moments ago, and though a few of their openers are somewhat obvious picks (Lenny Kravitz, The Fray), one name jumped out at me: Interpol.
I mean, we knew that Paul Banks, Carlos D, and…

This is absolutely incredible. Heartbreaking to watch; try to watch it all if you can. Part 5 with Pun Yin Shi, who works at a tea shop & manages the rec room hit me particularly hard.

Well, this is fantastic.
FOD has an exclusive series with Pat O’Brien - giving an all access - or barely any access look at the Winter Olympics. Not only is O’Brien clearly in on the joke beat for beat - he seems to having a blast with it.

littleorphanammo:
The artists conception of how the rings would appear from various cities on Earth is freaking gorgeous. I’m cranky we don’t have them. They’re beautiful. Want Earth rings NAO!
It’s about 3 and a half minutes of video and totally worth it.
The ‘Ava Maria’ soundtrack on it is a bit hamfisted but it’s so neat to watch I don’t care.

Listen: Johnny Cash - "Ain't No Grave" (Feat. The...
twentyfourbit:
Johnny Cash is one of the only artists I can think of whose posthumous releases make him seem even more alive. That sounds like a cliché, I know (“singing from beyond the grave,” etc.), but in the case of Cash, it’s just too true to not note. There are two key differences between his final recordings in the American Recordings series and most other posthumously released material:...

Bob Dylan Song Turned Into Children's Picture Book
twentyfourbit:
Bob Dylan’s Christianity-inspired album Slow Train Coming contains a number of quotes from and allusions to the Bible, of course, but the most blatant declaration of Dylan’s then-newfound faith was perhaps in his riffing on Genesis 2:20’s line about Adam “naming livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field” in the song “Man Gave Names To All The Animals.” Sounds...
