Bonnaroo Artist Additions

7 Apr

Today Bonnaroo announced artist additions and the comedy line-up for this summer.  I know some people were hoping for bigger names but really, you couldn’t expect more headlining acts to be announced.  Could it have been better, sure but either way I for one am stoked as two of my favorite artists we added, G. Love and Black Joe Lewis.  Add in Galactic, Black Uhuru and Daniel Lanois’ Black Dub and Superfly definitely added some great talent.  DJ line-up should be coming soon too.

New Music: Beastie Boys – “Make Some Noise”

6 Apr

Hallelujah! Finally we are getting closer to the Beastie Boys new album Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 2 (May 3) and here’s the first single, “Make Some Noise.”  It totally sounds like old school Beastie’s and I for one already love it and can’t wait to get my hands on the disc and listen to the rest.

Video: Zac Brown & James Taylor – “Colder Weather”

5 Apr

I know I’m late on this but since I didn’t watch the ACM Awards I just got around to watching the Zac Brown/James Taylor performance of “Colder Weather” into “Sweet Baby James.” Great duet and definitely worth watching if you haven’t caught it yet either.

Now Playing: Current Swell – “Young and Able”

4 Apr

Current Swell – “Young & Able.”

For the first time in a while I popped in one of their discs as driving music and now I can’t stop listening to the Victoria, BC group. These guys have put out three great albums and if you haven’t heard of them, give a listen to a few of their songs HERE (“So I Say” and “Short Stories”).
