Hooray Friday!

- Band of Horses played the Accelerator Festival this week in Stockholm and let loose on an unreleased song. Check out the video at P-fork.

- All reports from Bonnaroo are that MMJ killed with a 3+ hour set. I've been back and forth on seeing them when they swing through DC for their "An Evening with..." tour and I think this sealed the deal for me. Have a listen for yourself at You Ain't No Picasso.

- If you're looking for some new music to check out, head over to Sixeyes who has the list of nominees for the Polaris Music Prize which is given to the best Canadian album released in the last year.

- Not sure if I've already posted this, but Radiohead's April concert at the BBC Radio Theatre is available for download on Sixeyes.

- And the trifecta for Sixeyes! Some Shins live tracks from a concert last year are up and available for your listening/downloading pleasure.

- Spoon recorded a Daytrotter session which includes a cover of Paul Simon's "Peace Like a River" and three other songs.

- The Editors cover Calvin Harris' "Acceptable in the 80s". Thanks to Lets Sexy Fighting for the love.

- More covers from Lets Sexy Fighting. Grizzly Bear takes a crack at "Owner of a Lonely Heart" - can't wait to hear to this one.

- Take a listen to Blitz Trappen's title track off of their upcoming release Furr, due out in September. Thanks to You Ain't No Picasso.

- Another Peel Session from Aquarium Drunkard, this one courtesy of Fugazi from 1988.

- Aaaand the first of the 1/2 year lists are out.

Hooray Friday (2 days late)!

- The Bonnaroo, SXSW and New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Fesitval lineups have been announced. Maybe this is the year that I go to one of these festivals. I doubt it, but just maybe.

- About A Son, the Kurt Cobain documentary has been around for a few years, but is now being released on DVD on Feb 19th. I am fuel has some thoughts on the project, a few mp3s from it and the trailer.

- Same blog, different topic. If you're interested in Counting Crows' new music, I am fuel has the mp3s from their set on WXPN World Cafe.

- La Blogotheque releases a Take Away Show each week. Apparently they've been doing this for quite awhile, but it's the first I'm hearing about it (thanks to Gorilla vs. Bear). Some truly solid stuff. Too many to list, so you'll have to check it out yourself.

Here's to hoping Amy Winehouse doesn't fall on her face tonight at the Grammy's. She has enough shit going against her.

Bonnaroo downloads

Largehearted Boy has been nice enough to post downloads of Bonnaroo performances as they become available here. I haven't had much of a chance to check these out yet - but it looks like you have sign up for the websites to gain access to the gold. No time for that now - my current focus is packing for Greece and trying to decide how many extra t-shirts I need to bring.

Ben Harper, Flaming Lips, Hold Steady, Wolfmother just to name a few. It'll be at the top of my to-do list when I return to the states.

Bonnaroo stream

AT&T has been streaming selected bands in the blue room all weekend. I checked it out yesterday for a bit and the quality (sound and video) is pretty good. Hey, it's probably the only way a guy like me is going to experience one of these festivals (and I'm sure I'm not alone).
