Letterman is just cozying up to the Portland music scene this week, with Sallie Ford on Wednesday and Typhoon last night. Both of them play the songs you’d want to hear them play and the bands just kill their performances. Sallie Ford & The Sound Outside, “I Swear” Typhoon, “The Honest Truth” Crazy. Hard to [...]
Radiohead’s surprise Glastonbury performance from a few weeks back can now be viewed in a multi-angle, hi-def format, complete with mastered audio. Setlist Lotus Flower 15 Step Good Morning Mr. Magpie Little By Little All I Need Separator Give Up The Ghost Arpeggi Staircase I Might Be Wrong Bloom Reckoner Daily Mail — Street Spirit Wish it [...]
The Flaming Lips lead Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros through a sunrise take on “Do You Realize??” at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, which was lovingly written up by Amanda Mae Meyncke over at Clusterflock and the reason I spent a good amount of time trying to find video. The video comes courtesy of both [...]
As part of a competition, the Foo Fighters played an entire concert in the garage of a lucky fan. Thankfully, for us, everyone at the show was too busy recording it for posterity to actually enjoy it. If Dave Grohl and company come to my house, I’m rocking out with the cock out. Sure, I [...]
Here’s Portland’s Typhoon this past weekend performing “The Honest Truth” off their new EP, A New Kind of House, at Salem’s Cherry City Music Festival. It’s not the best quality, sound-wise, but man does this video give me the chills. Typhoon is really the next great orchestral/chamber pop band — practicing an indie revivalism more fitting [...]
First off, this video of Trey Anastasio covering the beloved Outkast tune “Hey Ya!” at a recent concert in Portland, Maine brings two thoughts to mind immediately. First, it’s sort of boring and unexciting when a white folksy dude covers a rap song (how come we don’t get more covers the other way, which would [...]
If you live in Portland, chances are you’ve been to a Portland Cello Project concert, or have heard enough about them to be curious. The gist is, the band, which consists of six or seven cello players, cover pop songs like Britney Spears or Beyonce or Jay-Z, etc. They sprinkle in a few originals, but [...]
Huh. I tried seeing Frightened Rabbit last Friday at the Paradise, but the concert was sold out. The next night on Saturday, this happened, from Stereogum: “Frightened Rabbit’s fourth single from The Winter Of Mixed Drinks, “The Loneliness And The Scream,” will be out in the U.S. in early December, and it’ll come with an [...]
Monday morning ya’ll. Let’s get this week started off with a bang. Here’s Portland’s Menomena with “TAOS.” It’s going to be a pretty special song that prevents this one from being my favorite song of 2010. It’s like a straight shot of electricity.
