CoS Festival Survival Guide: What ‘roo Need To Know!
Losing your mind? Save it for the weekend. We got you covered!
Ben Sollee manages to make a bike trip to Bonnaroo so much more than a bike trip to Bonnaroo
Ben Sollee is killing four birds with one stone. The Kentucky-born cellist is currently on his way to Bonnaroo to show ‘Roo’ers what exactly it means not to be Kanye West. To get to Bonnaroo, he is riding a bike – last Thursday, Sollee strapped his 1930’s Kay cello to his bicycle and pedaled 26 [...]

Stream: Metric stops by KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic
Later today, or this morning depending on your time zone, Metric will stop by KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic for an on-air performance and interview with host Jason Bentley.

Eels’ frontman Mark Oliver Everett is self-aware. His intimate sentiments are heart-on-your-sleeve homage to how little he values self-worth, opting to render his listeners devastated by constantly reminding them it’s what he lacks that brings them in. He has one significant problem: Each album of his contains a gamete of solid songs, but the whole thing altogether sounds like a 45-minute identity crisis between an aging hipster and the youthful emo-minded angst monger within. His latest effort, Hombre Lobo, is no different.
Check Out: Jay-Z – “D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)”
Well, Kanye ain’t lying. Jay-Z really doesn’t like auto-tune. In what is apparently the forthcoming Blueprint 3‘s first “street single” – please don’t confuse this with the official single, which according to DJ Skee (via Ace Showbiz), will be called “Off That” and will feature Cashmoney newcomer, Drake, “D.O.A.” (or Death of Auto-Tune as its [...]
