This lush single’s video was directed by animator Joel Trussel.
Now here’s a Mashup/cover I can get behind. Some people don’t get Bon Iver. Some people don’t like Bon Jovi. This video, from post-rock band Miracles of Modern Science, just might help out both camps.
Now starring in Nashville Shakespeare Festival’s production of Julius Ceasar, the former Titans running back sat down with Mary Brace to talk about how his contributions in the local theatre community.
1986 had tons going on for music and most of it was great. I could easily have gone another few hours. From the classic rock sounds of Stevie Ray Vaughn and the Stones, to digging the new breed – Beastie Boys. Aerosmith threw it all into one package with their collaboration with Run DMC. Meanwhile, artists like Richard Thompson, Paul Simon and Crowded House were bringing contemporary music to new levels of depth.

Here’s another American who went to the UK to get noticed. As a result, her major label debut comes out at the end of January, and you’ll see her on Saturday night live, already. Listen to Lightning 100 to hear this song when you’re riding in your car tonight, or just click.
1988 was another one of those “transitional” years in music. Although the Classic Rock era was winding down there were still occasional major releases from the giants of the age, as the era of the Boxed Set was just getting under way and, with no YouTube or mp3 sharing to bring big artists to the smaller cities and towns of the US, live albums could still be a major force. Other developments included a proliferation of female rock artists – Melissa Etheridge, Sinead O’Connor, Tracy Chapman were just a few – and/or bands that were fronted by them. The Celts continued to invade, and Jane’s Addiction’s major label debut, Nothing’s Shocking, paved the way for Nirvana at a time when many music fans were worn out on the formulaics of hard rock.
