Watch As Sufjan Stevens Joins The National Onstage

Sufjan Stevens plays it low key, standing towards the back of the stage he shares with The National. He ends up doing "Terrible Love" with the band, playing tambourine and doing backup vocals. 

It would have been cool to see these guys do an interesting cover. It seems like his talents were wasted here. 

Watch it below. 

Listen to the New Iron and Wine Track-"Walking Far From Home"

The new Iron and Wine is no departure. Although acoustic guitar isn't featured here, a cappella is, at least for the first part of the track, "Walking Far From Home." Sam Beam adds in piano and a little drum beat later on the track. Trouble is there's no hook in the song. It pretty much goes nowhere. Kind of a disappointment. 

Hear it below. New album, Kiss Each Other Clean due January 25th. 

Add Wolf Parade to the “Indefinite Hiatus” List

I wish bands would just be honest with us. Don’t be KISS and say it’s your farewell tour, and then tour for 20 years. Or, don’t leave us wondering with this “Indefinite hiatus” crap. Either you’re breaking up, or not.

I’ll just do it for them. Wolf Parade is breaking up. Think about it. If they weren’t breaking up, and they were just taking a break, why would they have to announce it to the world. Just take a break! Come back three years from now! We’re good! The wording is code for, “We don’t want to get shellacked when we do come back 5 years from now.” There's my rant. Have a nice day.

Is David Lynch’s New Song Any Good? Hear it here

First off, I wasn’t sure what to expect from David Lynch’s new song. Is he going to become a hardcore gangster? Probably not, but I thought it would be really weird, with random noises sprinkled throughout. Of course, we did get a preview on the Dark Night of the Soul release. 

This ain’t M.I.A. but gunshots are in his new track. It’s also very upbeat and techno based. I was pleasantly surprised by the new offering. It’s called “Good Day” and it’s out on iTunes today, with a B-side.

Hear it here.
