Watch Eddie Vedder's New Video-"Can't Keep"

As I mentioned earlier today, you can stream the album that started out as a joke and then became a challenge, Ukulele Songs at NPR. Now the video for the track "Can't Keep" is available below.

Can Coachella Seriously Pull Off Same Lineup On Two Consecutive Weekends?

Organizers behind Coachella announced today that they will do Coachella times two next year. That’s the same lineup and execution at the same location on consecutive weekends.

In principal, this is genius, allowing for fans that missed the selling out of tickets another opportunity. It also is a model that will be copied for every other festival, giving you the fan more chances to take part.

However, realistically from a logistical stand point, having all of those artists stay in the same area for two weeks is unrealistic. Many would likely fly home and come back, or smaller bands would tour in the western U.S. and then return. BUT in the case of bigger artists having to fly home and then return for the second weekend, that’s going to cost even more money. That could send your ticket costs soaring. Plus, what if you have to bring their whole entourage back as a promoter? Yeah, good luck with that.

Another negative-they are likely to not stream Coachella on YouTube anymore if there are multiple weekends attached. Also, who thinks Kanye wants to reinvent the wheel twice on multiple weekends? Does anybody think he could be as amazing as he was a second time around?

If the people behind Coachella can pull this off, it would set an incredible standard. We could also look back on this a few years from now laughing on what a bust the second weekend turned out to be. I hope it works. 

Watch Every Song From Death Cab For Cutie's VH1 Storytellers Performance

Death Cab For Cutie performed on VH1 Storytellers on Friday night, with a total of nine songs. It was a good mix of old and new. A couple of good stories were told, but generally speaking Ben Gibbard really didn't have a lot to offer on most of the songs. Also, Gibbard had a nervous tick of scratching his head a lot. Just sayin'. All in all the band was in good form though. 

Watch all of the performances over at VH1 here.

Watch Arctic Monkeys Do A New Track On Letterman

Nice of Letterman to not only pronounce the new Arctic Monkeys album title last night, Suck It and See, but to also crack a joke about it. "I'm being told it's their Christmas album." 

The band did "Don't Sit Down Cause I've Moved Your Chair." Look for the record on June 7th. Watch below.

The new, visually striking video from Justice is out this morning called "Civilization."
