Hey, dudes!
Came across this guy over the weekend and thought it was pretty good. Sounds like Bon Iver at times. Arthur Russell at others. Stream the entire album HERE.

Karen O and Trent Reznor Cover Led Zepplin
This is a pretty bad ass rendition of Immigrant Song, assuming you like NIN and/or Karen O. It does however raise the question of whether or not it is OK to cover Led Zepplin. I could people getting pissed about this...

So my buddy, who I've mentioned before, put together a bunch of the concert videos he has recorded over the year into a lengthier video. Feel sweaty -
Chicago in 2011 : A recap of why we love our live music scene. from GONZO CHICAGO on Vimeo.
Some bands featured are Titus Andronicus, Black Lips, Archers of Loaf, Times New Viking, and Wild Flag, along with a bunch of lesser-known Chicago-area groups.Other Lives
While perusing the write ups for upcoming Omaha shows, I came accross the following description of Other Lives' latest album:
"There’s no point in trying to unearth an obvious “single” in Other Lives’ second album, Tamer Animals. Here’s a better idea instead: succumb. Let every last song wash over you like proper long players once did, from the swift strings and pulsating horns."
I succumbed, and I'm glad I did. Oh, and I believe I've unearthed a semi-obvious single:

For those who haven't seen tune-yards, here ya go!
Truth be told: I've been cruising the current's website for about an hour now looking for a recording of last nights live, in studio performance and interview of Mark Foster, lead in Foster the People. Interview gives good insight as to why their live performances might not be up to par. Anyhow I'll keep looking for it because he is excellent playing acoustic and by himself.
