The first cell phone/camera clips have started filtering in from Coachella. Nothing can replace the experience of seeing these artists in person, but for those that missed the fest this year, they’ll have to do. Pitchfork has a smattering of videos culled from YouTube available, including this clip of Leonard Cohen performing ‘Hallelujah’. It’s one [...]

Y’all know I likes me some Star Trek. Y’all also know that I like movie scores. So heaven in a box must be a Star Trek movie score, right? When it’s by Michael Giacchino, you can bet your sweet bippy it is! The official movie score to JJ Abrams’ new Star Trek flick will not [...]

This is one of those artists I love but for whatever peculiar reason never wrote much about. I did glow over them with Charles from White Lies in our interview last week, but I don’t think I’ve dedicated a post to them until now. For shame! School of Seven Bells were recommended to me through [...]
