New Music: Passion Pit – “Lifted Up (1985)”
16 FebOne of the albums I’m most excited about in 2015 is Kindred from Passion Pit and today the band released the single “Lifted Up (1985).” As a follow-up to the acclaimed albums Gossamer and Manners, Kindred will be released on April 21 with heavy anticipation from starving fans. Plus the band begins touring next month playing a handful of festivals and what I suspect will soon follow, an announcement for a summer/fall tour too.

REVISITED: My thoughts on the 2015 GRAMMY performances
9 FebEach year the day after the GRAMMY Awards I try to post my thoughts on each performance here on the blog. To be honest compared to past years I thought there were a bunch of underwhelming performances this year and instead of poking holes in the lackluster, I want to mention the moments of awesomeness.
- My favorite performance was Jeff Lynn of ELO and Ed Sheeran, that was as awesome as it got last night.
- John Mayer is mounting his comeback to the mainstream audience. Last week he was guest hosting the Late Late Show and last night joining Ed Sheeran (along with Questlove and Herbie Hancock) was brilliant. I’d love to see what those two could do together on an album.
- “FourFiveSeconds” is clearly Rihanna’s song and Kayne was just Kanye and Sir Paul, man I love him but it didn’t even appear that he was really part of that performance. Regardless, loved hearing that song live. Lots of GRAMMY wins collectively on that stage.
- Perhaps it’s just that I have been a huge fan of Beck for years but I really enjoyed his performance of “Heart Is A Drum” with Coldplay’s Chris Martin.
- A tip of the cap to the GRAMMY’s for recognizing the rise in country music. Eric Church delivered a great performance, Miranda Lambert equally the same and Brandy Clark with Dwight Yoakam was great.
- Having one of the biggest Latin superstar musicians, Juanes, perform was a great achievement to draw in a different audience and showcase a different genre to millions
- Simple and just perfect Beyonce and Katy Perry. Both traditionally have elaborate set designs and moving parts but last night it was just enough and worked extremely well.
- Thank you Annie Lennox
- I said it after seeing them on NYE, Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga it works and I for one am happy to see Gaga in this role, I believe she was meant to play this part and I hope they are able to continue performing together for a long time to come.
- Sam Smith and Mary J Blige, bravo
- Wasn’t crazy about Pharrell’s performance but I understand the artistry and what a HUGE coup having Lang Lang and Hans Zimmer perform alongside. Rad and so Pharrell to pull off something like that.
VIDEO: The Late Late Show – Bob Weir and John Mayer Perform “Althea” and “Truckin'”
6 FebYou can read more about the interview from Relix HERE but click play below to see The Late Late Show guest host John Mayer jam “Althea” and “Truckin'” with the one and only Bob Weir. I for one am counting down to 4th of July weekend in Chicago for Fare Thee Well 50th anniversary shows! And fan or not, John Mayer is a wicked guitar player, always has been and hopefully always will be.
New Music: Incubus – “Absolution Calling”
5 FebNew music from Incubus! Words about new LP or EPs dropping this year and heap of international dates on the calendar. Hoping they make it back stateside for a tour too!
