    For his Tiny Desk debut, Isbell and his band The 400 Unit performed three songs from The Nashville Sound, but their set fanned out to include lengthy bits of funny banter, a false start and an impromptu bit in which he shone a spotlight on a member of the audience. "This is like an audition and a rock show at once," he deadpanned to Ashwin Wadekar, a guest in the building who — not to spoil anything — got more than he'd likely expected from his visit to NPR headquarters.

    Set List

    "Chaos and Clothes"

    "Molotov"

    "Last of My Kind"

    The loss of the legendary Gregg Allman shook the music community to its core back in May. Today, via a statement on greggallman.com, Rounder Records announced the release date for Allman’s final studio album, dubbed Southern Blood, which is due out on Friday, September 8th. Allman’s upcoming Southern Blood was produced by manager and friend Michael Lehman and Grammy-winning producer Don Was, with Rolling Stone noting that on the night prior to his death, Allman had just been sent four completed songs off the album and was excited to hear the tracks. In the same Rolling Stone article, Was notes, “It was kind of unspoken, but it was really clear we were preparing a final statement, in many ways. . . . It was so fuckin’ heavy, man. We weren’t going to a picnic.”

    When 65,000 people gathered in London's Hyde Park, they were originally there to hear the band Green Day play. Little did the crowd know at the time, they themselves would end up being the high point of the show. Before the band even took the stage, something absolutely magical happened in the audience.

    As if they had been rehearsing the moment for weeks, all 65,000 of them joined together to sing a Queen classic in unison - and the entire thing was caught on camera. 40 years after "Bohemian Rhapsody" became the iconic song it is today, it was memorialized again by a whole new generation.

    Green Day's band members were so impressed by the impromptu show that they posted it to their very own YouTube page. It didn't take long for the clip to go viral. Not only is it chilling to listen to, but as one YouTuber put it, "Only Queen can rock a stadium without even being there." It isn't every day thousands of people share such a special moment. Get ready to feel chills all over, as you hear the iconic Queen song performed spontaneously by thousands.

    Gigi is a Canadian music recording project based in Vancouver, formed in 2005 by the songwriter Nick Krgovich and record producer Colin Stewart after Stewart acquired two vintage plate reverb units and asked Krgovich to write songs — Phil Spector-inspired 1950s and 1960s-style pop music — to make use of them.[1] With 40 musicians from indie rock bands collaborating, the group released an album, Maintenant, on the Tomlab label in 2010

  22. Bob Dylan wins 2016 Nobel Prize in literature

    The article actually only dedicates two whole paragraphs to the actual headline/topic and the rest is a summary history lesson on sparknotes/cliffnotes and their creators.

    I suppose anything is possible, and reading the article I can see/get the comparison. Although, I wonder if it's simply a case of him recalling and citing a quote incorrectly. I dunno.

    It’s alright ma, I’m only cheating: did Bob Dylan crib his Nobel speech from SparkNotes?

    Claims have circulated that Dylan’s Nobel prize acceptance lecture may have leaned a little too heavily on a website favoured by plagiarising students.

    On 4 June, Bob Dylan made good on the lecture he was required to give in order to claim his $900,000 (£704,000) Nobel prize jackpot. His 22-minute reminiscence about his music and literary heroes was widely hailed, even though most university lectures are at least 45 minutes long and he didn’t bother putting PowerPoint slides on the departmental website.
